Ryan Miller got the start on Friday so it looks like it will back Lack making his season debut on Saturday. He went 16-17-5 with a 2.41 GAA and .912 SV% in his first NHL season and will serve as a nice spot-start on most nights, but he draws a rough matchup tonight vs. the Lightning.
Lehtonen stopped 27 of 29 shots in a win over the Penguins on Thursday. The Stars scored a late goal to give Lehtonen his second straight win. He has had a great start to the year, posting a 1.95 GAA and .933 SV% in his first three starts. He will likely take on a Flyers team still searching for their first win.
Montoya stopped all 10 shots he faced when he replaced Roberto Luongo last Saturday vs. the Devils. Saturday marks his first start as a Panther. He was 13-8-3 with a 2.30 GAA and .920 SV% with the Jets. He will face a Washington team who are averaging 3.23 goals per game through their first three contests.
Peters allowed two goals on 16 shots in a relief effort of Braden Holtby on Tuesday. The 28-year-old netminder went 7-9-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .919 SV% with the Hurricanes last season. He draws a nice spot start matchup tonight vs. the Panthers.
The Red Wings have a home-and-home series with the Maple Leafs this weekend and Jimmy Howard is starting on Friday so 'The Monster' will take on his former team on Saturday at The Joe. Gustavsson was 16-5-4 with a 2.63 GAA and .907 SV% last season.
Allen will make his season debut on Saturday vs. the Coyotes. Allen went 9-4-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 games with the Blues. He will be a full-time NHLer after spending four years in the AHL. He makes for a nice start against an average Coyotes offence.
Kuemper stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Wild's 3-0 win over the Avalanche last Saturday. They had nearly one week off but will be back in action tonight in Anaheim. They have yet to allow a goal while outscoring the Avs 9-0 in the first two games. It has been a great start for Kuemper, but he draws a rough matchup tonight.
Rinne gave up two goals on 28 shots in the Predators 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames on Tuesday. The loss snapped a modest two-game winning streak for Rinne, but it has been an excellent start to the year. He has registered a 1.62 GAA and .924 SV% in his first three starts and draws a nice matchup tonight vs. the Jets.
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.
Coburn was back on the ice for practice on Friday, but the Flyers won't make a decision on his status for tomorrow's game until after the morning skate. He skated with Andrew MacDonald this morning, which is a good sign that he is ready.
Marincin, 22, scored a goal in Oklahoma City's (AHL) season opener. Marincin had six assists in 44 games with the Oilers last season. He will be paired with Justin Schultz in his season debut.
Wagner, 23, had two goals in the first two AHL games of the season. He is coming off of a season where he had 28 points (14G / 14A) in 76 games.
Fast was a healthy scratch in each of the Rangers last two games. He had zero points with three shots and minus-1 rating in the first three games of the year.
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.
