NHL Hockey Player News

Mrazek allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Vancouver last Thursday. James Reimer started Saturday in Calgary but look for Mrazek to face the Jets on Tuesday. He has won 3-3-2 with a 2.94 GAA, .900 SV% and one shutout on the road this season, so this isn't the best matchup for the 27-year-old.

Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Red Wings' win in Montreal on Saturday. Bernier was absolutely brilliant and earned back-to-back wins for the first time since November 10th/12th. As scary as it might be to start the Red Wings goalie right now, the matchup looks OK. Columbus has lost seven of their last eight road games (1-4-3) while scoring just 2.00 goals per game and they played last night, so the struggling Elvis Merzlikins will be between the pipes for them.

Gibson allowed three goals one 32 shots in the Ducks win over the Rangers on Saturday. Gibson has lost four of his last six starts while posting a 2.58 GAA and .902 SV%. Tonight he faces a Flyers team that is extremely banged up but have won four of their last five on home-ice.

Quick allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Kings loss in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The loss snapped a nice two-game winning streak for Quick, who will start tonight in Boston after getting Sunday night off. He is 2-8-1 with a 3.85 GAA and .865 SV% on the road this season, so stay away from him in a matchup with a Bruins team that is 12-1-5 on home ice.

Rinne gave up four goals on 22 shots in the Predators' loss to the Stars on Saturday. With Juuse Saros starting last night in New York, Rinne is expected to face the Isles on Tuesday night. Rinne has given up at least three goals in three straight games, allowing 11 goals on 86 shots (.872 SV%). Tonight he faces an Islanders team that is on a 13-game point streak on home ice, going 12-0-1 while scoring 3.54 goals per game.

Korpisalo stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Blue Jackets' shutout win over the Capitals last night. With Elvis Merzlikins struggling and a very winnable game on-tap, Korpisalo will start on back-to-back nights. He allowed four goals on 26 shots in a win in his first start vs. the Red Wings and is 2-0-2 with a 1.34 GAA and .958 SV% in his last four starts.

Rask allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Bruins loss in Tampa Bay last Thursday. Rask has lost three in a row while allowing a combined 10 goals on 88 shots (.886 SV%). Despite riding a losing streak, the Bruins announced that Rask will start three of the next four games. He has a nice matchup vs. the Kings on home-ice, where he is 8-0-3 this season.

Trevor Moore will not play on Tuesday after taking a bump in practice on Monday. Brooks could make his NHL debut tonight but Dmytro Timashov is also available to take Moore's spot.

Despite the Maple Leafs announcing that he would play, Moore took a bump in practice yesterday and is not feeling well enough to play tonight. Adam Brooks was called-up from Toronto (AHL) and could make his NHL debut but Dmytro Timashov is also available.

Raanta will not be available to backup on Tuesday, so Adin Hill was called up from Tucson (AHL) under emergency conditions and will backup Darcy Kuemper in San Jose.

With Antti Raanta sick, Hill will come up and serve as Darcy Kuemper’s backup in San Jose.

Hogberg stopped 13 of 14 shots after coming in in relief in the Senators' loss in Vancouver back on December 3rd. With Anders Nilsson going last night, Hogberg will make his second NHL start of the season tonight but draws a horrible matchup in Tampa Bay. The Lightning average 3.69 goals per game on home ice, so leave Hogberg on the bench tonight.

Haggerty was an undrafted free agent that signed with the Penguins in 2018. The 26-year-old forward has just three goals and three assists (six points) in 23 AHL games this season.

Roy was originally a fourth-round pick of the Ducks but signed with the Panthers this July. The 26-year-old left-winger has 28 games of NHL experience and has scored four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in 23 AHL games this season.

Zucker briefly left Sunday's game in Chicago but returned and finished with one assist in 16:33 TOI. The injury comes at a tough time for the Wild, who were already without Mikko Koivu and Joel Eriksson Ek up front and Jared Spurgeon on the blueline. Luke Johnson is expected to make his Wild debut with Zucker out.

Hall was acquired from the Devils on Monday and joined the team in San Jose this morning and will make his debut against the Sharks. The Coyotes did not run lines this morning, so there is no indication who Hall will skate with.
