Ramo allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Flames loss in Chicago on Sunday. Since being recalled from Stockton (AHL), Ramo has gone 4-4-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .905 SV%. On Tuesday he will make his ninth consecutive start—he will face a Devils team that ranks 21st in scoring but still carry a 10-6-1 record.
Schneider stopped all 21 shots that he faced in the Devils’ shutout win over the Penguins on Saturday. Schneider has been insane over the last 30 days, winning nine of 12 while posting a 1.98 GAA and .926 SV%. Schneider is one of the NHL’s hottest net minders and is a must-start vs. the Flames, who have lost three of four.
Nugent-Hopkins missed Saturday’s game and now Monday’s practice, which clouds his status for Wednesday’s game vs. the Blackhawks. Monitor RNH’s status as the week progresses.
Grant had no points and a minus-3 rating in one games during his time with the Flames. He may have failed to record a point, but he was impressive in the face-off circle, winning 56.8% of the face-offs he took, tops on the team. His demotion suggests that Jonas Hiller is ready to be activated from IR.
Galiev, 23, was 10 days into his 14 day conditioning stint. During his stint he appeared in five games, registering three goals over that span.
Hickey skated for the first time since suffering a left leg injury in late October. Hickey was originally expected to miss one month and it looks as if his recovery is right on schedule.
Hornqvist left Saturday’s game in New Jersey with an undisclosed injury and he missed Monday’s practice. A number of Penguins’ forwards missed practice because of illnesses, but there was no word whether that is what Hornqvist is dealing with. Expect an update on his status on Tuesday.
Schultz is two and a half weeks into a 2-4 week timetable. He was in practice on Monday and rotated into his regular spot during line rushes which indicates he is nearing a return to the lineup. Monitor Schultz’s status as the week progresses.
Girgensons missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury and could miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Stars. Girgensons was hit hard on Saturday which is likely the reason for today’s absence. Monitor his status on Tuesday morning, but his two points in 17 games has him well off of the fantasy radar right now.
Zubrus was released from his tryout with the Blues 10 days ago but has begun a new tryout with the Sharks.
Bogosian is expected to play this week and it could be as soon as Tuesday. Bogosian has yet to play this season because of a lower-body injury but has been practicing and is definitely close to play. The 25-year-old had seven assists while averaging 26:34 in 21 games with the Sabres last season.
Chiarot was a minus-2 in 10:05 on Saturday and will be replaced by Adam Pardy tonight in St. Louis.
Pardy has not played since October 18th, but will replace Ben Chiarot in the lineup tonight vs. the Blues. Pardy has three shots and a minus-1 rating in three games.
Samuelsson, 24, recorded four assists in 10 games with Springfield before being recalled, tonight he will make his season debut and is still in search of his first career NHL point. Samuelsson will skate with Connor Murphy on the Coyotes’ third pair.
Cunningham had five goals and four assists before being called up to the Coyotes. Tonight he will make his season debut on the fourth line with Boyd Gordon and Kyle Chipchura.
Lindback gave up three goals on 36 shots in the Coyotes’ win in Anaheim last Monday. Mike Smith started the last three games, but the Coyotes will go back to Lindback tonight in Brooklyn. Lindback has gone 2-2-0 with a 1.99 GAA and .928 SV% in two starts and three relief appearances this season.
Petan played the last three games, failing to record a point and registering a minus-2 rating. Overall he has just one goal in 14 games and will come out of the lineup tonight in favour of Anthony Peluso.
Peluso has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but he will be in in the lineup vs. a heavy Blues team on Monday. Peluso has one assist and 13 PIMS in seven games this season.
Hutchinson was pulled after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Jets’ 7-0 loss in Nashville on Saturday. Despite being yanked, the Jets will go back to Hutchinson tonight in St. Louis. November hasn’t been kind to Hutchinson, who is 0-2-1 with a 4.68 GAA and .841 SV% in three starts and one relief appearance this month.
Parise who is dealing with a sparring knee was originally expected to be out until at least next Monday. However, the Wild said there is still no timetable for his return. Parise returning to the ice is a positive sign that his knee is healing well.
