Bishop stopped 16 of 19 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Rangers on Wednesday. Bishop has now won four of his last five starts with a 2.24 GAA and .903 SV% and should make for a great fantasy start tonight vs. his former team.
Wennberg has three assists and a minus-14 rating in 21 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Kerby Rychel and Michael Chaput were recalled with Wennberg going down.
Rychel, 20, has collected six goals and seven assists and 30 penalty minutes in 22 games with Springfield in his first professional campaign. He split the 2013-14 season between the Guelph Storm and Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League, posting 34-56-90 and 43 penalty minutes and scoring the title-clinching goal in Game 5 of the OHL Finals to help Guelph win the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
Chaput, 22, recorded two assists and eight penalty minutes in 18 games with the Blue Jackets this season and has added one goal and four assists in five games with Springfield. He has recorded three assists and 10 penalty minutes in 35 career NHL games
Miller has yet to record a point in three games with the Rangers but has 15 points (6G / 9A) in 18 games in Hartford. He will take Chris Kreider’s spot in the lineup today.
Kreider’s grandpa passed away so he will not be in the lineup today vs. Philly. J.T Miller has been recalled and will take Kreider’s spot in the lineup.
Halak gave up two goals on 27 shots in the Islanders win over the Capitals on Wednesday. Halak has won eight straight with a 1.21 GAA and .954 SV%. He has been torching the league in November and is a must-start whenever he gets the nod.
Bernier allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 4-3 OT loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. Despite the loss he gets the call again tonight vs. Ovechkin and the Capitals. He has gone 5-5-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .906 SV% at the ACC Center this season.
Allen stopped 13 of 16 shots in a win over the Oilers last night. It was not the prettiest outing but he got the job done. With Brian Elliott out it is no surprise to see Allen start the back-to-back. Tonight should be a little more difficult in Minnesota.
Khudobin stopped 17 of 18 shots in a 2-0 loss to San Jose on November 16th. Cam Ward has had a good first quarter which has limited Khudobin to six appearances—He is 0-4-2 with a 2.96 GAA and .898 SV%. Steer clear of him as a spot-start with the Penguins in town.
Ramo stopped all 32 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win over the Sharks on Wednesday. The strong performance has earned him back-to-back starts as he gets set to take on the Coyotes tonight. He has won three in a row with a 1.98 GAA and .930 SV%.
Pickard allowed three goals on 45 shots in the Avs loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Pickard has been sensational in his short time with the big clue, which has led to them placing Reto Berra on waivers, so it looks like the kid is here to stay. He has a 1.18 GAA and .966 SV% in his last three appearances.
Lehtonen gave up two goals on 37 shots in the Stars victory over the Oilers on Tuesday. After a three-game losing streak, Lehtonen has rattled off three straight wins with a 2.33 GAA and .933 SV%. He has lost both starts vs. the Wild with a 3.05 GAA and .885 SV%
Rask allowed three goals on 33 shots in a 3-2 OT loss to the Penguins on Monday. He has lost two in a row, but sits with 10 wins, a 2.40 GAA and .915 SV% in 17 games this season. He is a must-start as usual.
Brewer, 35, has four assists in 17 games with the Lightning this season. The Ducks are going to be without Francois Beauchemin for 4-6 weeks, to they are bring the veteran Brewer in to shore up the back-end.
With Beauchemin out the Ducks have acquired Eric Brewer from the Lightning to help solidify their blue line while Beauchemin is out. He has five assists and a plus-3 on the season.
Scrivens was yanked after he allowed five goals on 13 shots in the blowout loss to the Blackhawks last Saturday. He has watched Viktor Fasth start the last two, but he will get the nod tonight vs. the Blues. He has a 3.35 GAA and .887 SV% behind a shaky blue line, so he should be avoided tonight in St. Louis.
Holtby allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Capitals OT loss to the Islanders on Wednesday. He will get a second crack at them tonight, which likely means that Justin Peters will get the call tomorrow vs. the Leafs. He has gone 4-3-2 with a 2.30 GAA and .919 SV% in November.
Laich has missed the eight games with a shoulder injury, but he will be back in tonight vs. the Islanders. Laich is extremely injury prone and has been limited to six games this season. He is expected to skate on the fourth line left wing.
Head coach Joel Quenneville did not sound too confident when he was asked when Sharp would be back. Sharp could be back on Friday vs. the Canadiens if he is not back on Wednesday.
