Lehtonen allowed three goals on 33 shots in Thursday’s loss to the Predators. Lehtonen is struggling right now—Thursday marked his fifth straight loss; he has posted a 3.20 GAA and .889 SV% over that span. He will look to climb back into the win column tonight on the road in Arizona.
Anderson stopped 36 of 37 shots in the Senators’ shootout loss to the Jets on Saturday. He was given Sunday night off and Robin Lehner struggled, so Anderson will be back in the cage tonight vs. the Canucks. Anderson is 1-2-0 with a 1.68 GAA and .955 SV% on the road this season.
Rinne allowed one goal on 29 shots in the Predators win over the Blues on Saturday. Rinne has won three in a row and four of the last five while posting a 1.81 GAA and .939 SV%.

Fleury allowed a single goal on 21 shots in the Penguins 6-1 blowout of the Sabres. It was Men vs. Boys on Saturday, but that won’t be the case in The Big Apple on Tuesday.

Bennett, 22, had five assists in two games in his brief conditioning stint with WBS. The oft-injured Bennett has worked his way back from a knee injury suffered in training camp. Now that he is back, the goal will be to stay healthy for an extended period of time.

Gonchar, 40, has an annual cap-hit of $5 million (per nhlnumbers.com) and has just one point this season. He has only appeared in the three most recent games for the Stars and shipping him out for the much cheaper Moen, suggests that this was a salary dump and that the Stars have something else up their sleeves.
