Goalie Start
Rinne led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Rinne allowed two goals on 49 shots in the Predators win in Montreal on Saturday. After losing in Toronto, Rinne got back in the win column on Saturday, giving him nine wins in his last 10 games. Tonight he will look to stay hot against the Blues, who he is 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .984 SV% and one shutout against this season.
Goalie Start
Quick will start Tuesday in Carolina.
Quick stopped 13 of 14 shots after replacing Darcy Kuemper in the Kings loss in Tampa Bay on Saturday. Quick had his fair share of struggles in late-January, but has now stopped 48 of 50 shots (.960 SV%) in his last two outings. In his first start vs. the Hurricanes, Quick stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 3-2 OT win in early-December.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Tuesday against the Islanders.
Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Devils on Saturday. Bobrovsky was starting on back-to-back nights and turned a strong performance, stopping a four-game losing streak for the 29-year-old. He is a solid option tonight vs. the Islanders, who he is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .926 SV% against this year.
Goalie Start
Rask will start Tuesday vs. the Flames.
Rask allowed three gaols on 27 shots in the Bruins loss to the Sabres on Saturday. It was Rask’s first regulation loss since November 26th, snapping a 19-0-2 stretch over his last 21 starts. Tonight he will face a Mike Smith-less Flames team on home-ice, where he is 14-5-2 with a 1.94 GAA and .930 SV% this year.
The Kings have placed Trevor Lewis (upper-body) on IR.
Call up / Send down
The Canucks have recalled Phillip Holm from Utica (AHL).

Ward stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Avalanche on Saturday. He snapped a brief two-game losing skid and is now 4-1-1 with a 1.99 GAA, .931 SV% and one shutout in his last sixth start. The veteran comes into Tuesday’s game vs. the Kings at 8-3-2 with a 2.20 GAA and .923 SV% at PNC Arena this season.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky is expected to start Tuesday against the Islanders.
Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Devils on Saturday. Bobrovsky was starting on back-to-back nights and turned a strong performance, stopping a four-game losing streak for the 29-year-old. He is a solid option tonight vs. the Islanders, who he is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .926 SV% against this year.
Nosek (upper-body) will return to the Golden Knights lineup on Tuesday.
Nosek has missed the last 12 games with an upper-body injury but will replace Brendan Leipsic in the lineup on Tuesday. He has not done much offensively this season, so he shouldn't be considered in any fantasy formats.
Goalie Start
Varlamov will start Wednesday vs. Montreal.
Goalie Start
Jones will start Tuesday vs. the Coyotes.
Jones allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Sharks win in Anaheim on Sunday. Jones has started six of the Sharks’ last eight games, winning two of six with a 2.30 GAA and .923 SV%. Tonight he faces the Coyotes, who come in off of big win last night but on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Jones stopped 26 of 27 shots in a 3-1 win over Arizona back in late-November.
Methot (knee) is expected to return to the Stars lineup on Friday.
Methot has been limited to 16 games this season but he is on-track to play on Friday, barring a setback. Methot’s return will help the Stars defence much more than it will help any fantasy team.
Miller (upper-body) was on the ice for the morning skate but won’t play Tuesday.
Miller skated with a no-contact sweater this morning so he’s still not quite ready to return to the Bruins blueline. Miller will likely ditch that sweater later this week and could be back Saturday in Vancouver.
Goalie Start
Rask is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Flames.
Rask allowed three gaols on 27 shots in the Bruins loss to the Sabres on Saturday. It was Rask’s first regulation loss since November 26th, snapping a 19-0-2 stretch over his last 21 starts. Tonight he will face a Mike Smith-less Flames team on home-ice, where he is 14-5-2 with a 1.94 GAA and .930 SV% this year.
MacKinnon (shoulder) returned to practice in a no-contact jersey on Tuesday.
MacKinnon is two weeks into a 2-4 week timetable, so he appears to be right on track in his recovery. The next step is for MacKinnon to ditch the no-contact sweater, which could happen later this week. MacKinnon will need a few practices before he’s set to return to the lineup.
Goalie Start
Hutton will start Tuesday in Nashville.
Hutton allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Blues win over the Avalanche last Thursday. Jake Allen started both games this weekend, but they’ll come back to Hutton tonight in Nashville. It’s not surprising that he will face his former team and he comes in having won six of his last seven starts while posting a 1.13 GAA, .961 SV% and two shutouts.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
