Price stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shutout win over the Sabres on Saturday. It was an impressive return to the crease for Price, who will look to turn his season around after struggling before he missed 10-games due to injury. Tonight he is expected to face a Blue Jackets team that is 7-3-1 in 11 road games this season.

Murray allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Penguins loss in Boston last Friday. Tristan Jarry had an impressive win vs. the Lightning on Saturday, but Murray is still expected to start tonight vs. the Flyers. Murray is 6-2-1 with a 2.33 GAA and .930 SV% on home ice this season.

Morin appeared in two games with the Flyers during his call-up, but with Andrew MacDonald set to return to the lineup tonight, Morin heads back to the AHL.

Varlamov missed the last four games with an illness, but says he’s ready to go and will be available on Wednesday. Jonathan Bernier filed in pretty well for Varlamov, going 2-1-1 while allowing just eight goals on 107 shots (.925 SV%), but if Varlamov is available he will likely start vs. the Jets.

Raanta will miss his third straight game as he continues to battle and upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. With Raanta out, look for Scott Wedgewood to face the Oilers tomorrow but Raanta could be ready to get into the crease by Thursday.

Andreoff was hurt in Sunday’s win over the Ducks and will miss at least four games while he remains in Los Angeles. According to head coach John Stevens, Andreoff didn’t break anything but he just needs rest and recovery.

Murphy who moved around the NHL a few times this summer eventually landed in Minnesota and has picked up one goal and 10 assists (11 points) in 18 games with Iowa. The former junior start is still trying to get his career on track after recording just 37 points (6G / 31A) in 151 career NHL games with the Hurricannes.

Spurgeon is a question mark for tonight’s game in Winnipeg because of an illness, so the Wild have recalled Ryan Murphy and he may draw in and make his Wild debut if Spurgeon can’t play.

Price stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shutout win over the Sabres on Saturday. It was an impressive return to the crease for Price, who will look to turn his season around after struggling before he missed 10-games due to injury. Tonight he is expected to face a Blue Jackets team that is 7-3-1 in 11 road games this season.

Gibson allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss to Winnipeg last Friday. Gibson got the night off on Sunday so the Ducks will come back to him tonight in Chicago. Gibson comes into Monday at 2-5-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .925 SV% in eight November starts.

Jones missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury, but he will travel with the team on their four-game road trip, but he will probably miss tomorrow’s game vs. the Flyers. With Jones hurt, Aaron Dell figures to draw the start and Antoine Bibeau should be his backup.

Stalock allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Wild’s win over the Avalanche last Friday. Devan Dubnyk has struggled a bit recently, so Stalock will go tonight in Winnipeg. In six appearances this season, the 30-year-old backup has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.42 GAA and.928 SV%. Despite looking like one of the best spot-start options in the NHL, the Jets present a dangerous matchup.

Forsberg allowed one goal on 13 shots after replacing Corey Crawford in the Blackhawks 7-5 loss to the Devils on November 12th. The Blackhawks have five games this week, so Forsberg could see multiple starts but he has had a tough start to the season—the 25-year-old has gone 1-1-2 with a 3.81 GAA and .904 SV% in four starts and two relief appearances.

Crawford allowed a single goal on 38 shots in the Blackhawks’ win in Florida on Saturday. Crawford has won three of his last four starts while allowing a combined eight goals on 140 shots (.943 SV%). The 32-year-old has gone 5-4-0 with a 2.20 GAA and .933 SV% in nine starts at the United Center this season.
