Robidas has not played in the last seven games, but will replace Petter Granberg in the lineup tonight in Nashville. Robidas has five assists and leads the Maple Leafs in plus/minus with a plus-11 rating.
Raffl has missed the last three games and will very likely miss Thursday’s game vs. the Islanders. Consider him day-to-day.
Mrazek made 22 saves on 23 shots in the Red Wings win over the Islanders on Saturday. He has been victorious in seven of his last nine starts while posting a 2.90 GAA and .899 SV%. Jonas Gustavsson is back with the Red Wings and Jimmy Howard is expected to be back next week, so this could be Mrazek’s final start before heading back to the AHL.
Lundqvist allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Rangers 6-3 win over the Panthers on Monday. After a slow start the season, King Henrik has climbed his way to sixth in wins (25), seventh in GAA (2.25) and 10th in SV% (.922). Tonight he will likely go head-to-head with Tuukka Rask, who is also red-hot.
Luongo got the start last night and didn’t play particularly well, so look for Montoya tonight on Long Island. He stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Lu on January 27th vs. Detroit. Montoya is 3-4-2 with a 2.96 GAA and .891 SV% this season and has a terrible matchup tonight, so look elsewhere.
Andersen allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss to Chicago on Saturday. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak, but he still finished 7-1-0 with 2.20 GAA and .924 SV% in January. Tonight he should be able to get back into the win column with the Hurricanes in town.
Cooke was not on the ice for the Wild’s morning skate and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. With Cooke out, Jordan Schroeder has been recalled and will be in the lineup tonight.
Dubnyk turned aside 35 of 37 shots that he faced in the Wild’s win in Vancouver on Sunday. He has won three in a row while registering a 1.00 GAA and .967 SV%. Dubnyk is enjoying an NHL rebirth this season and the Wild are loving the consistency he has brought to their crease. All that said, he has a terrible matchup this evening.
Phaneuf will miss his fourth straight game with a hand injury he suffered on January 21st. Today was the first time that he skated since suffering the injury and he is expected to be back next week.
Lucic will not travel with the team to New York on Tuesday, but could meet the team there tomorrow if he is feeling better. Monitor his status tomorrow afternoon.
Crawford allowed one goal on 22 shots in the Blackhawks win in Anaheim on Friday. He was given Saturday off, but will be back in tonight in Minnesota. Crawford wasn’t great in January, going 5-5-0 with 2.71 GAA and .917 SV%, but he has been excellent in two starts vs. the Wild. So far he is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .963 SV% against Minny.
Bishop stopped 34 of 35 shots fired at him in Saturday’s win over the Blue Jackets. Bishop has earned the W in five of his last six starts, recording a 1.82 GAA and .941 SV% in the process. Tonight will be an excellent test as he takes on the Blues in St. Louis—Bishop is 7-5-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .886 SV% on the road.
Price stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 1-0 shutout victory over the Capitals on Saturday. He was given Sunday afternoon off, but will be back between the pipes tonight. He has won five straight games and is an absolute must-start tonight vs. the Sabres.
Lehtera is likely to miss his third straight game with concussion-like symptoms. The Blues have yet to announce a timeline for Lehtera’s return. Consider him day-to-day.
Berglund will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury he suffered on Saturday. The Blues announced today that he is dealing with a shoulder injury, but have yet to release a timetable for his return.
Hutton made 21 saves in the Predators 4-0 shutout win over the Penguins on Sunday. It was his third win and first shutout of the season. Since Pekka Rinne got injured, Hutton has gone 3-1-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .903 SV%. He should make for a fine start tonight with the ice-cold Maple Leafs in town.
Quick allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Kings loss in Boston on Saturday. Quick is one guy who is happy to see January end—he was 2-4-3 with a 3.18 GAA and .878 SV% last month. On Tuesday it looks like he will take on the Capitals in Washington—Quick is 3-8-5 with a 2.84 GAA and .901 SV% on the road this season.
Elliott allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Blues win over the Capitals on Sunday. Elliott has won four straight with a 1.96 GAA and .932 SV%. He has a tough matchup with the Lightning in town, but he has gone 9-2-1 with a 1.93 GAA and .928 SV% at home this season.
Lehtonen surrendered two goals on 40 shots in the Stars win over the Jets on Saturday. That is two straight win and four of the last six for Lehtonen, who sits with a 2.96 GAA and 905 SV% on the year. He allowed four goals on 30 shots in a loss to the Avs in their last meeting.
Eller took part in the Canadiens morning skate and it sounds like he will play tonight, but that decision likely won’t be made until pre game warmups.
