Comrie has gone 17-11-3 with a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV% in 31 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season. Comrie started one NHL game this season. He allowed five goals on 35 shots in a 6-4 loss in Florida back in early-December. Comrie is a risky start at this point in the season--especially against a Kings team that is tied for third in the NHL in road wins (21).
Mrazek allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flyers win over the Capitals on Sunday. It hasn’t been all gravy for Mrazek since coming over from Detroit. The 26-year-old has gone 5-5-1 with a 3.14 GAA and .888 SV% in 11 games with the Flyers but he’ll have a good shot at a ‘W’ tonight vs. a Red Wings team that has dropped 10 in a row.
Trouba is being re-evaluated for a concussion and is not going to be in the Jets lineup vs. the Kings on Tuesday. This is a terrible break for the Jets and Trouba owners, who just recently got the start defeseman back in the lineup last week. Joe Morrow will replace Trouba in the lineup tonight.
Karlsson missed Monday’s practice and Tuesday’s morning skate, so he will not be available for tonight’s game vs. the Panthers. There’s no word what is ailing Karlsson, but it is expected to be short-term. Pat Sieloff was recalled from Belleville (AHL) and will play tonight with the Swede out.
Forsberg was yanked after he allowed three goals on six shots in the Blackhawks loss in Winnipeg last Thursday. Forsberg has struggled as of late, going 2-2-0 with a 4.01 GAA and .876 SV% in March. Tonight he faces the Avalanche for a second time—he was pulled after he allowed five goals on 20 shots in a 6-3 loss in Colorado in late-October.

Price has been sidelined with a concussion since February 20th, but will return tonight in Pittsburgh. Despite being out the playoff picture, the Canadiens will give Price the opportunity to finish the season strong. Price has been terrible on the road, going 4-15-1 with a 3.36 GAA and .897 SV% this season.
Andersen gave up three goals on 20 shots before leaving last Wednesday’s game vs. Dallas with an upper-body injury. Andersen ended up missing the last two games, but will be back tonight in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old is 1-1-1 with a 2.63 GAA and .929 SV% in three starts vs. the Lightning this season.
Highmore left Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury after falling awkwardly into the boards. Highmore, who has just one goal in 10 games since being recalled, is expected to be replaced by Andreas Martinsen tonight.
Martinsen, who has picked up 12 goals and 14 assists (26 points) in 61 games with Rockford this season, could make his Blackhawks debut tonight. Matthew Highmore was hurt over the weekend and is presumably out tonight following Martinsen’s call-up.
Palat, who has been out since January 20th, skated on the second line and second power-play unit at the Lightning’s morning skate and will play tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Palat is a huge addition to the Lightning lineup as he picked up eight goals and 22 assists (30 points) in 46 games before getting injured.
Holtby allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Capitals win over the Islanders last Friday. Philipp Grubauer struggled in Philadelphia on Sunday so the Capitals will start Holtby for just the second time in seven games tonight. Holtby hasn’t played that well recently, but has gone 19-6-2 with a 2.36 GAA and .923 SV% on home ice this season.
Darling stopped 26 of 29 shots in the Hurricanes win against the Islanders on Sunday. Darling has won two of his last three starts despite posting a 3.09 GAA and .880 SV%. The Darling hype train didn’t last long this season, but he will look to close out the 2018 season on a high-note and it looks like he’ll face the Oilers tonight on home-ice.
Vasilevskiy surrendered three goals on 27 shots in the Lighting’s loss to Boston on Saturday. He was given some rest on Sunday and despite saying he is fatigued, the Lightning will come back to Vasilevskiy tonight vs. Toronto. The 23-year-old has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.29 GAA and .915 SV% vs. the Maple Leafs this season.
Mrazek allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flyers win over the Capitals on Sunday. It hasn’t been all gravy for Mrazek since coming over from Detroit. The 26-year-old has gone 5-5-1 with a 3.14 GAA and .888 SV% in 11 games with the Flyers but he’ll have a good shot at a ‘W’ tonight vs. a Red Wings team that has dropped 10 in a row.
Howard surrendered four goals on 36 shots in the Red Wings loss in Anaheim on Friday. The Red Wings appear content with rotating Howard and Jared Coreau and tonight will be Howard’s turn between the pipes. The Red Wings are spiralling out of control at the moment so don’t even consider plugging Howard into your lineups tonight.
Hanifin missed Sunday’s game in Brooklyn with a concussion that he suffered against the Flyers on Saturday. With just 10 games left in the regular season, there’s a chance that Hanifin’s season could be over. Concussions are tricky and there’s no sense risking him getting hurt with the Hurricanes’ season basically over.
Darling stopped 26 of 29 shots in the Hurricanes win against the Islanders on Sunday. Darling has won two of his last three starts despite posting a 3.09 GAA and .880 SV%. The Darling hype train didn’t last long this season, but he will look to close out the 2018 season on a high-note and it looks like he’ll face the Oilers tonight on home-ice.
Johnston missed Sunday’s game vs. the Hurricanes with an undisclosed injury but will replace Cal Clutterbuck (undisclosed) tonight vs. the Penguins. Johnston has picked up three goals and three assists (six points) in 16 games with the Islanders this season.
Clutterbuck is a little banged up from Sunday's game against the Hurricanes, so Ross Johnston will replace him in the lineup tonight vs. the Penguins. Clutterbuck is considered day-to-day.
