Hanzal was listed as a game-time decision after suffering a lower-body injury in Monday’s win over the Maple Leafs. He will not play tonight, which means that Tyler Gaudet will move up in the lineup. Consider Hanzal day-to-day.
Price made 49 saves on 52 shots in the Canadiens win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. It was not a great performance from the Habs, but to no one’s surprise, Price was excellent once again. Price has started the season at 7-0-0 with a 1.29 GAA and .961 SV%. He has been sensational and he will look to lead Montreal to a 10-0-0 start.
Quick turned aside 26 of 28 shots in the Kings’ win in Edmonton on Sunday. Quick has won four in a row while posting a 0.99 GAA and .966 SV%. Tonight he draws a tough matchup against a Jets team who is 5-2-1 while averaging 3.50 goals per game in their first eight contests.
Miller allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Canucks OT loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. This was Miller’s fourth straight loss—he has posted a 2.98 GAA and .899 SV% in the process. He will have a difficult time get back into the win column tonight with the undefeated Canadiens in town.
Niemi allowed three goals on 19 shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen in the Stars loss to the Panthers on Saturday. Niemi has started his Stars career at 3-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .928 SV%. Tonight he will face a Ducks team that he is very familiar with—Anaheim is also the NHL’s lowest scoring team.
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 34 in the Blue Jackets win over the Avalanche on Saturday. Bobrovsky finally won his first game of the season and now sits at 1-6-0 with a 4.45 GAA and .852 SV%. Despite his early season struggles, he looked sharp on Saturday and draws another great matchup tonight vs. the Devils.
Ward stopped all seven shots that he faced after replacing Eddie Lack in Saturday’s loss in San Jose. The Hurricanes long road trip continues tonight in Detroit. This will be Ward’s third start against the Red Wings this season—in his first two outings he has gone 1-1-0 with a 3.55 GAA and .821 SV%.
Boyle has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury and despite taking part in the morning skate, he remains a game-time decision. Boyle said he doesn’t know if he will play, so monitor his status during the pre-game warmup.
Paquette suffered an undisclosed injury while blocking a shot in Saturday’s loss in Chicago. Paquette will come out of the lineup on Tuesday and could be replaced by Brian Boyle, who is listed as a game-time decision. Paquette is listed as day-to-day.
Barrie missed the last three games because of a suspension, but he will be back in the lineup tonight in Florida. Barrie had two assists in four games before his suspension and should be reinserted into your fantasy lineup tonight.
Andersen stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Ducks 1-0 OT loss to the Blackhawks last night. It was another great performance from Andersen, but the Ducks have only scored a single goal in front of him this season. He will need them to score some goals tonight when he faces a Stars team who ranks sixth in the NHL in scoring (3.38 G/PG).
Talbot surrendered three goals on 34 shots in the Oilers 3-2 loss to the Kings on Sunday. Talbot has played very well as an Oiler, posting a 2.35 GAA and .917 SV%, but the offence is only averaging 2.33 goals per game right now, so Talbot has just two wins in six starts. Tonight he faces the Wild in Minnesota—Talbot is 1-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .925 SV% on the road.
Williams was held out of practice this morning but is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow vs. the Penguins. Monitor his status during the morning skate.
Rust left Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury and it will keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks. Beau Bennett is nearing a return and could take Rust’s spot in the lineup on Wednesday.
Quick turned aside 26 of 28 shots in the Kings’ win in Edmonton on Sunday. Quick has won four in a row while posting a 0.99 GAA and .966 SV%. Tonight he draws a tough matchup against a Jets team who is 5-2-1 while averaging 3.50 goals per game in their first eight contests.
Bishop allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Lightning’s win in Winnipeg last Friday. Bishop was given Saturday night off, but will be back in goal tonight in St. Louis. Bishop has won five of his eight starts while posting a 2.61 GAA and .907 SV%. Tonight will be his sixth start on the road—he has gone 3-1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .912 SV%.
Vermette will miss his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury. With Vermette out, Tyler Gaudet will remain in the lineup. Monitor his status leading up to Friday’s game vs. the Canucks.
Hanzal left Monday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and will be a game-time decision tonight in Boston. With Antoine Vermette already out, the Coyotes could use Vermette in the lineup. Monitor his status leading up to pre-game warmups.
Smith allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Coyotes win over the Maple Leafs last night. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Smith, who will start again tonight in Boston. The Bruins currently rank third in the NHL in goals (3.86 G/PG), so it won’t be an easy night for Smith on a back-to-back.
Hanifin has recorded two assists, 10 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in eight games to begin his NHL career. Hanifin will get the night off, but is expected to be back in the lineup on Thursday in New York.
