Rinne had an easy start to the season with an 18 save outing to lead the Preds to a 3-2 win over the Senators on opening night. Tonight he will take on a Stars team who lost in a shootout to the Blackhawks in their first game.
Smith allowed six goals on 27 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Jets on opening night. It was not a great start for Smith and it will not be easy for him to get back on track tonight against a Sharks team coming off of a huge opening night win over the Kings.
Quick was yanked after allowing four goals on 27 shots in a 4-0 opening night loss to the Sharks. Expect Quick to bounce back on Saturday against an Arizona team coming off of a big 6-2 loss to the Jets on Thurday.
Lindback had a disappointing season with Nashville last season. Despite Pekka Rinne missing the majority of the year, Lindback was only able to amass eight wins while posting a 2.90 GAA and .891 SV%. He will face his former team tonight and the Predators are coming off of 3-2 win over the Senators.
Despite Antti Niemi posting a shutout in the Sharks season opener, Stalock will get the call in goal tonight vs. Winnipeg. Stalock had a 12-5-2 record with a 1.87 GAA and .932 SV% last season and will battle with Niemi all season for the starting job.
Fleury allowed four goals on 29 shots, but walked away with a 6-4 win over the Ducks on Thursday. Tonight he will take on the Maple Leafs, who lost to the Canadiens in their season opener.
Enroth allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Sabres loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Buffalo was dominated throughout the night, which will likely be a trend Enorth owners will have to get used to. Keep him on the bench tonight when he takes on the Blackhawks.
Jared Tinordi will enter the lineup with Emelin out, but the Canadiens would not say who will play with P.K Subban. Consider Emelin day-to-day.
Expect Brian McGrattan to slide back into the lineup with Jones battling a lower-body injury.
Expect Devin Setoguchi to be in the lineup tonight against the Blues with Hudler sitting with an illness. Consider Hudler day-to-day.
Holtby stopped 23 of 24 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens on opening night. It was a nice start for Holtby, but the Capitals had a tough time beating Dustin Tokarski. Holtby will be back in goal tonight, but draws a tough matchup in Boston.
Hiller allowed three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Canucks on opening night. Karri Ramo got the win vs. Edmonton on the following night, but it looks like the Flames will go back to Hiller tonight, but he draws a terrible matchup vs. St. Louis. He will make for a solid number-2 fantasy netminder, but this is not a favourable matchup.
Khudobin will start after Cam Ward allowed allowed five goals last night. This is a good chance for Khudobin to lock down some playing time with a good start. The Islanders outplayed the Hurricanes tonight, but expect a better effort from Carolina tonight.
Stastny missed practice friday but was back on the ice for Saturdays morning skate and is expected to in the line up vs the Flames. Stastny scored in his Blues debut and with snipers Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Steen on his wings, Stastny is set up for another good year so get him in your line up when he's healthy.
The Flyers are off to a slow start at 0-2 so they have shaken up all three of their top lines in search of more offense. Whoever is playing with Giroux and Voracek is bound to produce at a higher level but Raffl is not a great fantasy option because his job on the top line may be short lived.
Franson was back on the ice for practice Saturday morning and said that he's ready to play. All that Head Coach Randy Carlyle would divulge is that Franson is "an option". We won't know Fransons's status until warm-ups tonight.
Howard was not very busy on opening night. He allowed a goal on the first shot of the game, but closed the door for the rest of the night. He finished the night with 16 saves in the Red Wings 2-1 win over the Bruins. He draws another terrible matchup tonight vs. the Ducks.
Johnson's first start as an Islander will come in the second game of the home-and-home vs. the Hurricanes. He will look to follow Jaroslav Halak who started in New York's 5-3 win last night. Johnson was 17-4-3 with a 2.10 GAA and .925 SV% with the Bruins last season.
Rask allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Bruins 2-1 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday. The Bruins struggled playing on consecutive nights, but should be much better in front of Rask tonight vs. Washington. He was 1-1 with a 2.03 GAA and .915 SV% vs. the Capitals last year.
