Morin was hospitalized with a heart issue during Tuesday’s game vs. Washington. He was rushed by ambulance during the second period and was held overnight for further testing. He was released from hospital, but has been moved to IR and is out indefinitely.
Hutton allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Predators win over the Avalanche on Tuesday. It was a nice way to return from the All Star break for the Predators temporary number-1. Since Pekka Rinne got hurt, Hutton has gone 2-1-1 with a 2.05 GAA and .889 SV%.
Enroth allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Sabres loss to the Flames on Tuesday. That is 22 goals on 125 shots (.824 SV%) in his last four starts. He hasn’t won a game since December 27th and there’s no better matchup for the Sabres than to be in Buffalo, but both of these teams are as nearly impossible for fantasy owners to trust.
Quick surrendered three goals on 24 shots in the Kings loss to the Sharks last Wednesday. He is an ugly 1-3-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .863 SV% in seven starts in January. A rough month will likely continue tonight with the Blackhawks in town. He made 21 saves in a 4-1 loss in their first meeting.
Crosby missed last nights game because of missing the all star game with a lower-body injury. Get Crosby active in all formats.
Holtby allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Capitals loss to the Blue Jackets last night. He has lost three in a row, while allowing four goals in each of those contests. Things won’t get any easier with the Pens in town, however they're coming off of a game last night as well.
Kennedy skated on Tuesday in the Sharks’ first practice after the All-Star break, but was not on the ice on Wednesday. “He skated well yesterday, and was sore after,” Coach McLellan said. The Sharks have yet to determine if a player will be recalled from Worcester,
Ruutu has missed the last three games with an illness, but he must be healthy enough to be in the lineup tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Ruutu has eight points (5G / 3A) in 43 games this season.
Hall missed Tuesday’s game and Wednesday’s practice with a lower-body injury that has been announced to be a bone bruise. There is no word whether Hall will be in the lineup tomorrow vs. Sabres—monitor his status during the morning skate on Thursday.
Toffoli has missed the last six games with mono, but will be back in tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He will skate with Jeff Carter and Dwight King on the Kings second line. He has 12 goals, 15 assists (27 points) and a plus-16 rating in 41 games.
Glencross will miss his fifth straight game, but he is getting closer to a return and could be back on Saturday, when the Flames take on the Oilers.
Hiller allowed one goal on 18 shots in the Flames win over the Sabres on Tuesday. It was a nice return to the crease for Hiller, who saw the last five starts go to Joni Ortio, who is still in Adirondack (AHL) following the All Star break. Entering Thursday vs. the Wild, Hiller is 14-13-2 with a 2.42 GAA and .912 SV%.
Lupul was questionable after skating on the fourth line yesterday. It appears as if he will not play after Peter Holland and Leo Komarov were activated from IR and Lupul was not.
After missing Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury, Hall also missed practice this afternoon, which does not bode well for his availability tomorrow vs. Buffalo. There is no word on the severity of Hall’s injury, but we expect an update in soon.
Thornton has been out of the lineup since December 6th, but it sounds like he will be back in tomorrow vs. the Blue Jackets. He has one goal, one assist and 27 PIMS in 22 games with the Panthers.
Dorsett left the game after colliding knee-on-knee with Ryan Kesler. Kesler will not face supplementary discipline for the hit and Dorsett’s status for Friday’s game remains uncertain.
Kesler appeared to catch Dorsett knee-on-knee. Dorsett left the game and did not return, but as of now, Kesler will not face any supplementary discipline for the hit.
Fleury gave up two goals on 26 shots in the Penguins loss to the Blackhawks last Wednesday. He was given last night off, but will start tonight in Washington. January has not been great for Fleury, who has gone 2-3-2 with a 3.19 GAA and .892 SV% so far. He made 31 saves in a 3-0 loss in his first start vs. the Caps.
Lundqvist allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Rangers loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. King Henrik was bombarded in his first start after the All Star break, but he was 14-2-0 entering Tuesday, so he is a strong option even with the tough matchup with Montreal—he is 1-1-0 with a 1.52 GAA and .941 SV% against Montreal this season.
Quick surrendered three goals on 24 shots in the Kings loss to the Sharks last Wednesday. He is an ugly 1-3-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .863 SV% in seven starts in January. A rough month will likely continue tonight with the Blackhawks in town. He made 21 saves in a 4-1 loss in their first meeting.
