Fasth allowed a single goal on 21 shots in the Oilers 3-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday. Fasth has picked up back-to-back wins while allowing just three goals on 52 shots (.942 SV%). He draws a tough matchup tonight against an upstart Predators team who sit at 9-3-2 on the year.
Price allowed a single goal on 31 shots in the Habs’ 4-1 win over the Wild on Saturday. The win snapped a three game losing streak for Price, who will be back between the pipes tonight vs. the visiting Jets. Price has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.71 GAA and .915 SV% at the Bell Centre this season.
Bishop stopped 17 of 20 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings on Sunday. Bishop has been stellar to start the season, getting off to a 9-1-1 start with a 2.44 GAA and .910 SV%. With a super talented offence in front of him, he should continue to rack up the wins at a pretty frequent pace.
Smith stopped 32 of 33 shots in the Coyotes 1-0 loss to the Islanders on Saturday. Smith had won each of his previous two starts, but despite the loss it was another strong showing for Smith in what has been a rough start to the year. Tonight, he faces a Dallas team who have lost seven in a row.
“He is getting closer,” said head coach Todd Richards after Bobrovsky practiced with the team on Monday. There is hope that he could return for this weekends games, but it remains to be seen if he will be available.
Parise will miss his third straight game with a concussion, which means he won’t get to face his former team tonight in New Jersey. He skated again this morning which is obviously a good sign. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game vs. the Sabres.
Krejci’s lingering hip pain will keep him in Boston this week as the team travels to Toronto and Montreal on Wednesday and Thursday. Chris Kelly will remain in the top-6 with Krejci out. The next game he could be back for would be Saturday, at home vs. the Hurricanes.
Reaves was hurt after taking a puck to the ankle in yesterday’s practice. He is not on anyone’s fantasy radars.
Oshie took part in the Blues morning skate, but he was never really expected to suit up tonight. But, it is good news to see him back on the ice again this morning as he continues to work his way back from a concussion. He could be back on Thursday vs. Nashville.
Boyle said that there is still pain in his hand and his strength is not quite where he would like it, but he thinks he can play through the pain and still hopes to be back later this week.
Skille was injured in a head-first collision with the boards on Saturday. With Skille sidelined, Adam Cracknell will draw back into the lineup.
Maatta is expected to miss three more weeks, but returning to the ice already puts him ahead of that timetable. Continue to monitor his progress.
Lupul had the cast removed from his hand, but is still 7-10 days away from returning to the Maple Leafs lineup. He will miss his seventh consecutive game on Wednesday.
McElhinney surrendered two goals on 22 shots after replacing Anton Forsberg in Saturday’s blowout loss to the Lightning. The veteran net minder is still searching for his first win of the season. It has not been pretty as he has recorded a 3.70 GAA and .889 SV% in six appearances. For a team averaging over four goals against in this last eight games, I would advise looking elsewhere right now.
Stalock stopped 37 of 40 shots in the Sharks’ win over Dallas on Saturday. He sat on Sunday and watched Antti Niemi allow four goals in a losing effort, so Stalock gets back between the pipes looking to work his way back in to the number-1 goalie conversation. He is 2-2-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .925 SV% to start the year, but has started just five of San Jose’s 16 games.

Luongo allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Panthers 4-1 defeat to the Flyers on Thursday. He had started 10 of the Panthers first 11 games, so he was given Saturday afternoon off, but will be back in tonight vs. the Sharks. He doesn’t draw a great matchup, but Bobby Lu has posted a 2.38 GAA and .925 SV% in four home starts, so you could definitely do worse.
Matthew Nieto has not scored since opening night and has been held pointless in his last three games so Tomas Hertl will replace him on the top line tonight vs. the Panthers. After a sensational rookie season prior to his knee injury, Hertl’s seven points (3G / 4A) has too be disappointing for fantasy investors. But, he gets a chance tonight to make an impact and hopefully stay on that top line.
Kuemper allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Wild’s 4-1 loss in Montreal on Saturday. After a blazing start to the year, Kuemper has dropped three of his last five while posting a 3.17 GAA and .867 SV%. With veteran Niklas Backtsrom behind him and Josh Harding’s return looming around the corner, Kuemper needs to find his game before he starts yielding starts to the veterans.
Pavelec stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Jets 2-1 win over the Senators on Saturday. He has won three of his last four while allowing just five goals on 135 shots (.963 SV%). He draws a tough matchup tonight in Montreal, but Pav has gone 4-1-1 with a 1.60 GAA and .944 SV%.
