Miller was a healthy scratch for the last two Rangers' games after failing to record a point and producing a minus-4 rating in the first three games of the season.

Mueller tallied a goal, posted a plus-one rating, and recorded two shots on goal in Hartford’s regular season opener on Oct. 12 at Syracuse. He also registered three points (one goal, two assists), posted a plus-one rating, and recorded five shots on goal in four preseason games with the Rangers this year.

Miller allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 5-4 shootout win over the Oilers last Saturday. The Canucks had nearly one week off between games, but they will get back at it tonight and try and make it two wins in a row over the Oilers. Miller is 2-0-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .889 SV% in his young Canucks career.

Reimer stopped 22 of 24 shots for the 3-2 OT win over the Avalanche on Tuesday. Reimer has won back-to-back games while posting a 2.24 GAA and .920 SV% so he will start at home tonight in the first game of the home-and-home series with Detroit. He was 0-1-0 with a 4.63 GAA and .860 SV% in two outings vs. the Red Wings last year.

Scrivens allowed six goals on 29 shots after replacing Viktor Fasth in the Oilers loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday. He has been dreadful in three outings this season; the Oilers lost all three while he posted a 5.21 GAA and .800 SV%. He might turn it around at some point, but he cannot be trusted in your fantasy lineup right now. He lobbied to play tonight by telling coach Eakins "I'm going to win that game." We'll see.

Stalberg was skating on the Predators second line with Derek Roy and Craig Smith in practice on Thursday, which suggests that he will make his season debut on Friday. He had eight goals and 10 assists (18 points) in 70 games last season.

Fasth was placed on IR on Wednesday after suffering a groin injury in Tuesday's game. The MRI will reveal how serious his groin injury is and go a long way in determining a timetable for his return. A groin injury is tough for goalies to deal with so expect him to miss some time.

Bertuzzi, 19, is the nephew of former Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi and was the Wings' second round pick (58th overall) in 2013. He is in his fourth season with the Guelph Storm of the OHL and has started the season with one goal and four assists (five points) in six games. He had 34 points (9G / 25A) in 29 games last year.

Rozsival missed the first three games of the regular season, but will make his season debut on Saturday vs. Nashville. He is expected to replace Trevor van Riemsdyk in the lineup. Rozsival had one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 42 games a season ago.

Crawford gave up two goals on 18 shots in the 2-1 OT loss to the Flames on Wednesday. It was n unexpected loss after the Hawks badly outplayed the Flames for the majority of the night. With the loss behind him he will set his sights on the Predators on Saturday night. He was 0-3-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .853 SV% vs. Nashville last year.

If Berra can not start on Saturday, the Avalanche will turn to Calvin Pickard to make his first NHL start. The original belief was that Berra's injury was serious, but since he has not been ruled out for tomorrow, it looks like the Avalanche have caught a break.

Nugent-Hopkins missed the last two games, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Canucks. The first line rushes he took were with Nail Yakupov and Teddy Purcell, but then he was reportedly between Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall at the end of practice, so expect him to be in his usual spot on the top-line. He has one assist in two games.

Schneider had a terrible night on Thursday. He was pulled after allowing five goals on 26 shots including a brutal goal that went of the end boards and then off him and in. The Devils will go right back to their star netminder in a rough matchup with the Sharks.

Lehner stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning in his season debut. It was a great way to start the season for the 23-year-old netminder. He will look to pick things up where he left off when he takes on fellow back-up Curtis McElhinney and the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Grabovski will not travel with the team to Pittsburgh for Saturday's game and he is out indefinitely after being rocked by John Scott on Thursday. The Isles said that Grabovski did not suffer a concussion, which is a positive, but he obviously is too sore to go. Expect Anders Lee to be recalled from Bridgeport (AHL).

Price allowed four goals on 29 shots but it was enough to get the 6-4 win over the Bruins on Thursday. Price has had a difficult time keeping the puck out of his net to start the season (3.75 GAA / .874 SV%) but the Habs are getting the job done in front of him which has led to a 3-1-0 record.

It was originally expected that Jonathan Bernier would go tonight in Toronto and then Reimer tomorrow in Detroit, but it appears it will be the other way around. Reimer has won back-to-back games while allowing four goals on 50 shots (.920 SV%), so it looks like Toronto will reward him with a third straight start. He was 0-1-0 with a 4.63 GAA and .860 SV% in two outings vs. Detroit last year.

Scrivens allowed six goals on 29 shots in the Oilers loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday. He has been dreadful in three starts this season, losing all three starts with a 5.21 GAA and .800 SV%. He might turn it around at some point, but he cannot be trusted in your fantasy lineup right now.

Havlat was cut by an inadvertent elbow by the ref last night while he was being hit from behind by Jason Chimera. Havlat was bleeding everywhere and had some pretty substantial cuts. Damien Brunner skated in his spot this morning.

This is pretty remarkable. Dupuis was stretchered off of the ice last night, but skated this morning and is already medically cleared to play. Monitor Dupuis status during tomorrow's morning skate, but he should play.
