Enroth allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Sabres 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins. He has posted a 3.10 GAA and .915 SV% in his first seven outings, but he is unlikely to get goal support on a regular basis, making him a sketchy fantasy option.
Semin skated as an extra in practice on Friday and with a couple healthy bodies coming back on Saturday, head coach Bill Peters is likely scratching Semin. The winger has just two assists in eight games and is a minus-5 over the last four games. He belongs on your bench until he turns things around.
Lecavalier was a full-go in practice on Friday and skated on a line with R.J Umberger and Wayne Simmonds as well as participated in power-play drills, which are both signs that he should make a return to the lineup tomorrow. Vinny has missed the last seven games with a foot injury he suffered on October 11th.
Darling went 2-1-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .933 SV% in his first three NHL starts with the Blackhawks. With Corey Crawford ready to return to the Hawks crease on Saturday, they had to make a decision on wether to send Darling or Antti Raanta back to Rockford.
Weiss pulled his groin in his first game with Grand Rapids and he has been placed on injured reserve to make room for Johan Franzen to be activated. Weiss can not stay healthy and should not be on your fantasy radar.
Bernier stopped all 10 shots.. yes TEN shots…that he faced for his first shutout of the season on Tuesday vs. Buffalo. It was just his second win of the year but he has been much better posting a 1.84 GAA and .932 SV% over his last four outings. Tonight he has a good matchup vs. an injury riddled Blue Jackets lineup.
Colaiacovo's salary cap hit in St. Louis last season was $550,000 and it figures he probably got a similar deal with Philly. Colaiacovo will help bolster a banged up Flyers blueline, but he has a long history with injuries. He has had numerous injuries -- shoulder, wrist, knee, eye, facial, lower body all, since January 23, 2010, he’s missed 59 NHL games.
Lehtonen allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Stars 4-3 OT loss to the Blues on Tuesday. Lehtonen has been average in seven starts this season, posting a 2.90 GAA and .907 SV%, however he has yet to lose in regulation (4-0-3). Tonight, it looks like he will face the Ducks who were shutout by St. Louis last night.
Reinhart, 18, was the second overall pick in this summer's draft. He had one assist in nine games with the Sabres and with Buffalo going no where this year, it is probably best for Reinhart's development to go back to juniors. Reinhart had 36 goals and 69 assists (105 points) in 60 games with Kootenay last season.
McElhinney surrendered five goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Senators. With Sergei Bobrovsky out, the Blue Jackets will lean heavily on McElhinney to pick up some W's behind a banged up lineup. He has a decent matchup against a Maple Leafs team who are averaging 2.78 goals per game in their first nine contests.
Quick allowed three goals on 43 shots in the Kings 3-2 OT loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak, but Quick definitely can not be blamed for that defeat. He comes into play on Friday with an 5-1-2 record and he ranks first in SV% (.950) seventh in GAA (1.78). A matchup vs. Detroit is not great, but he is a must-start regardless of his opponent.
Price stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Habs 2-1 shootout win over the Flames on Tuesday. Price is sizzling right now having won five in a row and allowing just three goals on 101 (.970 SV%) shots in his last three starts. Tonight, he takes on the Canucks who rank sixth in scoring (3.33 G/PG) but Price is a must-start in all formats.
Jones will get his first start since October 12th when he stopped 29 of 30 shots in a win over the Jets. Tonight, he will face the high-octane Penguins offence. He has allowed three goals in five career periods against Pittsburgh. There is safer spot-start options out there tonight.
Fleury gave up three goals on 19 shots, including a softy nine seconds in, but the Penguins lit up the scoreboard for an 8-3 victory vs. new Jersey on Tuesday. Fleury will go again tonight against a Los Angeles team without Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar.
Nichushkin has missed the last seven games while recovering from a groin injury. His assignment will likely last the weekend as he gets back up to speed and will be recalled to join the Stars for next week. He has no points in two games this season.
Corrado has not cracked the lineup in Vancouver yet this season, so he heads the Utica to get some games in, instead of sitting in a suit every night.
Miller stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Canucks 4-1 win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday. It was a big night for Miller, who won his 300th career NHL game. He enters tonight looking for number 301 at 6-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .916 SV% on the season. He is expected to go head-to-head with Carey Price in what should be a dandy of a goaltending battle.
Percy, 21, was sent down after playing seven games with the Maple Leafs to start the season. He picked up three assists in those seven contests and is now back with the big-club as they prepare for an upcoming three-game road-trip (split by a home game vs. CHI). No word on if Percy will be in the lineup on Friday.
Price stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Habs 2-1 shootout win over the Flames on Tuesday. Price is sizzling right now having won five in a row and allowing just three goals on 101 (.970 SV%) shots in his last three starts. Tonight, he takes on the Canucks who rank sixth in scoring (3.33 G/PG) but Price is a must-start in all formats.
Jenner skated with a glove on his injured hand and handled pucks for the third straight practice. There’s still no defined date for Jenner’s return, but he knows he is getting closer. “It’s hard to put a number on that day, that’s the thing," Jenner said. "You just try to see when you’re ready to go. And if today’s the day then you take it from there. He remains day-to-day, but this is finally some positive news on the Blue Jackets' injury front.
