Anderson stopped 36 of 37 shots in the Senators win over the Kings on Saturday afternoon. Anderson has had two bad starts and two good starts this season, posting a 3.52 GAA and .913 SV% overall. Things won’t get any easier for him on Monday. The Stars are in town averaging the fifth most goals in the league (4.25) so far.




Sobotka has been out since the season opener but will draw back in on the Sabres third line on Saturday. He played 18:42 TOI in his Sabres debut.

Ullmark will make his first start of the season after going 1-2-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .935 SV% in five games with the Sabres last year. Ullmark has shown the ability to be a quality spot-start option in the past and he draws a worthwhile matchup tonight in Arizona.

Dubnyk allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Wild’s overtime win over the Blackhawks on Thursday. Dubnyk’s strong start to the season continued, as he’s now stopped 104 of the first 110 shots (.945 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he takes on a Hurricanes team that is averaged 4.25 goals per game in their first four contests.

Nilsson was outstanding in his season debut, stopping 33 of 34 shots in the Canucks win in Tampa Bay on Thursday. Nilsson was fantastic in the month of October last year, going 3-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA, .943 SV% and two shutouts before falling off in the next six months. Florida has a very dangerous offence, but haven’t got going yet this season.

Eriksson Ek will not play on Saturday and will likely miss all of next week with a lower-body injury. Charlie Coyle will play centre and J.T. Brown will play on the third line while Eriksson Ek is out.




Khudobin was 16-6-7 with a 2.56 GAA and .913 SV% in 29 starts and two relief appearances with the Bruins last season. This summer he signed on with the Stars, where he will serve as Ben Bishop’s backup. Khudobin has a career .915 SV% in 147 games, but could have a tough time getting the ‘W’ tonight as he goes head-to-head with John Gibson.

Raanta allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Coyotes win in Anaheim on Wednesday. Raanta has played very well this season, allowing just six goals on 70 shots (.914 SV%) in three games. Raanta should be in consideration tonight thanks to his matchup with a 2-2-0 Sabres team that is averaging just 2.00 goals for per game.

Bernier allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Red Wings loss in Los Angeles last Sunday. Jimmy Howard started each of the last two games, but will give way to Bernier this afternoon in Boston. The Red Wings don’t have the firepower to match-up with the Bruins, making Bernier a risky option on a busy Saturday.
