NHL Hockey Player News

Schneider allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Devils loss in Detroit last Thursday. It was an inauspicious return to the crease for Schneider, who will make his second start of the season tonight. Schneider faces a Senators team with a little skill but even more internal issues. Still, the Sens have been able to score 3.21 (12th) goals per game through 14 games this season.

Lundqvist stopped 39 of 40 shots in the Rangers win over the Sabres on Sunday. Lundqvist has won two straight while stopping an impressive 70 of 74 shots (.946 SV%). Tonight King Henrik will try to keep things rolling vs. the Habs on home-ice. Lundqvist is 3-3-0 with a 2.15 GAA and .935 SV% in six starts at Madison Square Garden.

Dubnyk stopped 15 of 16 shots for an easy win in St. Louis on Saturday. Dubnyk has been great this season and comes into Tuesday’s game with wins in five of his last six starts while posting a stellar 1.68 GAA and .940 SV%. Tonight he faces a Sharks team that he was 2-0-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .914 SV% against last season.

Bishop allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Stars win in Washington on Saturday. Bishop has been impressive in his last five starts, going 4-1-0 while allowing just 11 goals on 147 shots (.925 SV%). Tonight he faces a sputtering Blue Jackets team on the road, where he has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .911 SV% this season.

Campbell allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Kings win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. In his last three starts, Campbell has gone 2-1-0 while allowing eight goals on 82 shots (.902 SV%). Tonight he faces a banged up Ducks team that has lost seven of their last eight while being outscored 256-to-16.

Fleury stopped all 34 shots that he faced in the Golden Knights shutout win over the Hurricanes on Saturday. It was a nice bounce-back for Fleury, who allowed five goals in his previous outing. He draws a tough matchup in Toronto on Tuesday and comes in at 2-3-0 with a 2.81 GAA, .890 SV% and one shutout on the road this season.

Markstrom allowed six goals on 29 shots in the Canucks win over the Avalanche last Friday. Markstrom has won three in a row while allowing a combined 10 goals on 94 shots (.894 SV%). He could extend his winning streak to four against Red Wings team that is averaging the fifth fewest goals per game (2.64) in the league.

Gravel has appeared in just two games with the Oilers and will play in his first game since October 25th. Gravel has averaged just 10:35 TOI/GM this season.

Yamamoto has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but is expected to replace Jesse Puljujarvi in the lineup on Tuesday. Yamamoto has just one goal, one assist and 12 shots on goal in 11 games this season.

Rattie will play his first game since October 18th after missing the last seven games with injury and healthy scratch. Rattie is expected to retain his spot on a line with Connor McDavid and has one goal, one assist and 11 shots in five games this season.

MacKenzie has not played since the Panther season opener on October 6th and will miss multiple months after undergoing shoulder surgery. The Panthers have plenty of options to continue to replace MacKenzie.

Kesler has recorded three goals and one assist in 12 games this season, but could be out of the lineup on Tuesday. The Ducks recalled Chase De Leo from San Diego (AHL) and he would draw into the lineup if Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf can’t go.

De Leo has recorded five points (2G / 3A) in eight games with the Gulls this season. The 23-year-old has appeared in just two career NHL games, but could play tonight because both Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler are game-time decisions.

Dube missed Tuesday’s practice and is unlikely to play on Wednesday because of a concussion. Dube could be ready by the weekend, when the Flames have a back-to-back in Los Angeles and San Jose.

Varlamov allowed six goals on 37 shots in Colorado’s loss in Calgary last Thursday. Varlamov had a great start to the season but has now lost three in a row while allowing nine goals on 88 shots (.898 SV%). Tonight he faces a Predators team that has won three in a row and four of their last five. Varlamov is 2-1-1 with a 1.76 GAA and .943 SV% on home-ice so far this season.

Raanta left practice a little early as a precaution after suffering a minor “tweak.” Raanta is scheduled to start Thursday’s game in Philadelphia, but Darcy Kuemper will get the nod if he’s unavailable.

Ehn, 22, had one assist in nine games with the Red Wings at the start of the season. Since going to the AHL, the former fourth-round pick registered one goal and three assists (four points) in five games.

Getzlaf was a late scratch from Sunday’s lineup, but could draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. Getzlaf has had some injury concerns, but has been great when in the lineup—picking up two goals and eight assists (10 points) in nine games.
