Rinne allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Predators’ loss in St. Louis on Saturday. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Rinne, who is expected to take on the Lightning tonight. Rinne has gone 4-1-1 with a 1.32 GAA and .953 SV% in six starts on Bridgestone Arena ice this season.
Crawford allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Blackhawks’ win in Calgary on Friday. He was given Saturday night off, so he’ll get back in the crease tonight in Edmonton. Crawford has gone 6-1-1 with a 1.92 GAA and .936 SV% in eight starts in November, so it will be hard to keep him out of your lineup tonight.

The 29-year-old is 2-5-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .893 SV% in eight November starts and he faces a Chicago team that has won 10 of their last 12.

Bjugstad missed the first 19 games of the season with a broken hand, but will make his season debut Tuesday.

He had 34 points (15G / 19A) in 67 games a season ago.
Eller missed Sunday’s game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Friday and he remains questionable for Wednesday’s game. Eller has just two goals in 17 games this season, so he shouldn’t be considered a valid fantasy option anyways.
Steen has missed the las two games with an undisclosed injury and is expected to miss the Blues’ short two-game losing streak. There’s no word as to what is ailing Steen, but it will keep him sidelined for a few more games at the very least. Ty Rattie will remain in the lineup with Steen out.
Allen allowed a single goal on 31 shots in the Blues’ win vs. the Predators on Saturday. Allen has won three straight starts while posting a 1.33 GAA and .952 SV%. Allen has started playing much better, but will be in tough tonight in Boston. The Bruins are playing great hockey and come in having won four of their last five.
Hertl is expected to miss a few weeks with a knee injury, so moving him to IR was simply a formality to create a roster spot to recall Daniel O’Regan from San Jose (AHL).
Pouliot will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game. Drake Caggiula returned on Saturday and will remain in the lineup while Pouliot watches from the press box.
Bishop allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Lightning’s win in Buffalo on Thursday. Bishop has won his last two starts while allowing four goals on 61 shots (.934 SV%).

Elliott allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Flames’ loss to the Rangers on November 12th.
