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.
Nugent-Hopkins is on the ice for the Oilers morning skate and is participating in line rushes, which suggests he will return to the lineup tonight after missing the last two games. RNH is skating on the third line with Nail Yakupov and Teddy Purcell. Monitor his status following the morning skate.
Abdelkader missed practice on Thursday but said he will play tonight, despite Mike Babcock calling him a game-time decision. Abdelkader has one goal and one assist in three games this season. He will skate on the Red Wings third line with Darren Helm and Andrej Nestrasil.
Pavelec allowed one goal on 17 shots after replacing Michael Hutchinson on Sunday. Pavelec has had a solid start to the season going 1-1-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .917 SV% in three appearances. Tonight, he gets the call against a Nashville team he is 2-2-1 with a 2.18 GAA and .933 SV% against last season.
Sekera suffered a scary injury on Tuesday but is skating for the second straight day, which is a good sign that he should be back in the lineup next Tuesday vs. the Jets.
The Hurricanes are off until Tuesday, so there is a chance that Staal could be back by then, but as of now he remains off of the ice with an upper-body injury.
Setoguchi made his Flames debut on October 11 and has yet to record a point with a minus-2 rating in his first three games with the Flames. Josh Jooris will replace Setoguchi in the Flames top-6 with Jiri Hudler and Sean Monahan.
Nurse had no points with a minus-2 rating and two shots in his first two NHL games. The 19-year-old will get one more year of junior and have a chance to stick with the Oilers full-time next season. He had 13 goals with 37 assists (50 points) in 64 games with Sault Ste. Marie (OHL) last season.
