Ehrhoff has missed the last eight games, but has been skating on his own as of late. Today was the first time he has been in a morning skate since January 28th, but there is still no word whether he plans to be in the lineup tonight or not.
Bernier allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs 2-1 shootout loss in Montreal on Saturday. He will make his third consecutive start having lost each of his last two starts, despite stopping 69 of 73 shots (.945 SV%). He will face a Panthers team who has lost four of their last five while averaging just 2.00 goals per game.
Carrick, 23, will likely be in the lineup tonight with Trevor Smith banged up and Olli Jokinen unlikely to play. Carrick has no points in 10 games with the Leafs this season, but has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 40 games with the Marlies.
Dano, 20, registered one goal and one assist in eight games with the Blue Jackets earlier in the season. He has spent the majority of his time in Springfield where he has collected 18 points (10G / 8A) in 37 games.
Stafford, who was playing in his third game with the Jets, was forced to leave the game after playing 13:59. He had been promoted to the top-line on Monday, but his night was cut short. Expect an update on Tuesday.
Fasth made 42 saves to get the Oilers to the shootout, before suffering a knee injury on the first shot attempt. The severity of the injury is yet to be determined, but the good news is that Ben Scrivens is expected to be back on Wednesday.
Mrazek, 23, filled in admirably while Jonas Gustavsson was out and then played even better when he became the team’s starter when Jimmy Howard went down. Overall he was 13-5-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 20 games with the Red Wings. He will be back if another injury happens in the crease and he will definitely have a permanent spot on the team in 2015-16.
Tanev missed Monday’s game with an upper-body injury that is believed to be related to his hand. GM Jim Benning announced after Monday’s game that Tanev’s injury is not all that serious and he is day-to-day.
Edler missed last night’s game with a lower-body injury that he suffered over the weekend. Originally the extent of the injury was not known, but GM Jim Benning announced after yesterday’s game that Edler is week-to-week. Expect him to miss at least two weeks.
The Senators lost Robin Lehner in Monday’s loss to the Hurricanes and according to coach Dave Cameron, Anderson is nowhere close to being back in goal. If Lehner is out of a significant amount of time, the Senators will be forced to turn to Andrew Hammond as their starter.
MacArthur was injured in a collision with his teammate Robin Lehner, which forced both players from the game. Coach Cameron did not have an update on MacArthur’s status after the game.
Lehner, who has been filling in for the injured Craig Anderson, was injured in a collision with his teammate Clarke MacArthur. Both players left the game and did not return. If Lehner’s injury is serious, the Senators will be left with their third and fourth string goalies going forward.
Perreault was crunched in the first period and hobbled off of the ice. He did not return, so expected an update on Perreault’s status on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Manson, 23, has one assist in 18 games with the Ducks. While in Norfolk he has collected three goals, six assists (9 points) and 23 PIMS in 23 games. His recall likely means the news on Sami Vatanen is not good.
Etem, 22, has registered two goals and four assists in 27 games with the Ducks this season. While in Nofolk he has recorded 13 goals and eight assists (21 points in 22 games.
Quick made 27 saves on 28 shots in the Kings 3-1 win over the Capitals on Saturday. After losing three in a row after the All Star break, he has won four straight while posting a 2.25 GAA and .910 SV%. He has a difficult matchup with the Lightning in town—however he made 26 saves in a 4-2 win in Tampa Bay on February 7th.
Tanev was reportedly spotted leaving the morning skate with an ice bag on his hand. With Tanev out, the Canucks will be without their top-pair because Alex Edler is also out. Alex Biega will make his NHL debut alongside Luca Sbisa in Tanev’s absence.
Rask gave up four goals on 24 shots in the Bruins loss in Vancouver on Friday. He has lost three straight games while allowing a combined seven goals on 78 shots (.910 SV%). Tonight he will make his first start of the year against the Flames—he has gone 7-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and .913 SV% on the road this season.
Boyle was expected to play after participating in the morning skate, but was listed as a game-time decision. He enters play having recorded goals in back-to-back games and four in his last seven contests.
Timonen, who has not played yet this season, has been skating on his own since February 6th, but will participate in the Flyers morning skate on Tuesday. This is a huge step for Timonen, who could be back in the lineup in late-February or early-March.
