Lack’s last start was February 11th, where he allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Devils’ 5-3 loss to the Bruins. Lack has been extraordinarily bad this season, with a 4.71 GAA and a .829 SV% to show for it. He draws easily the worst matchup of the night against the Lightning.

Quick turned in a strong performance in the Kings’ 3-1 loss to the Penguins on Thursday, making 35 saves on 37 shots. It was the third loss in as many starts for Quick. Despite the recent strong play of Darcy Kuemper, it’s Quick who gets the cushy matchup this afternoon against the Sabres.

The disappointing game brought an end to a nice stretch for Dubnyk, who had won five of his previous six starts with a .943 SV% over that span.

Greiss’ last start was February 9th against the Red Wings where he continued his abysmal season, allowing five goals on 32 shots before being pulled from the game.
