When asked why Kane was being scratched, head coach Paul Maurice simply stated it was "coach's decision". The Maple Leafs catch a break with one of the Jets most dynamic players out of the lineup.
Lupul was upgraded from doubtful to a game-time decision and now it looks like he will play tonight vs. Winnipeg. Lupul missed Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he will return tonight. He has three goals and three assists in his last night games. Jerry D'Amigo will likely come out of the lineup.
Khudobin allowed one goal on 34 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars. He has been excellent in his last two starts--stopping 63 of 65 shots (.969 SV%). Tonight, he will try to play spoiler against a Devils team who are barely alive in the East playoff race.
Schneider allowed one goal on 25 shots in a win over the Capitals last night. The win keeps the Devils playoff dreams alive, but they will need to string together back-to-back wins as they face the Hurricanes tonight. Schneider is 1-0 vs. Carolina this season.
Price allowed two goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. Peter Budaj got the call for the Habs last night, so Price will step back between the pipes tonight vs. the Red Wings. Price is 1-1 with a 4.00 GAA and .857 SV% against Detroit this season.
Lehner surrendered three goals on 40 shots in a win over the Flames last Sunday. He has allowed 10 goals in his last four starts, but he is hardly to blame as the Senators have allowed him to see an average of 38 shots per game in that span. He will look for revenge vs. the Rangers tonight. The first time he took on New York he was pulled after allowing five goals on 28 shots.
Quick stopped all 17 shots that he faced in a 4-0 win over the Coyotes on Wednesday. He was given Thursday night off, so it would be no surprise to see the Kings come back to him tonight in Vancouver. Quick has dominated the Canucks this season, going 3-0 with 0.67 GAA and .976 SV% vs. them this season.
Martin Brodeur did not face shots this morning which suggests that Schneider will start for the Devils. Schneider allowed one goal on 25 shots in a win over the Capitals last night. The win keeps the Devils playoff dreams alive, but they will need to string together back-to-back wins as they face the Hurricanes tonight. Schneider is 1-0 vs. Carolina this season.
Campbell, 26, is in his sixth year with the Manchester Monarchs. He has three goals and 13 assists (16 points) in 68 games this season. Drew Doughty likely won't be playing because of an upper-body injury, which opens the door for Campbell.
Doughty was injured in the Kings' loss to the Sharks on Thursday. He does not have a stall in the Kings' dressing room which suggests that he is out. Head coach Darryl Sutter called him day-to-day--another sign he will not play.
Okposo will miss his fifth straight contest tonight. The Isles have been really quiet on Okposo's injury. The details have been extremely vague, so it is tough to pinpoint whether he will be back this season.
Grabner has missed the last nine games after suffering a concussion on March 10th. He will take Johan Sundstrom's spot in the lineup and play on a line with Brock Nelson and Cal Clutterbuck.
Nabokov allowed two goals on 22 shots in a win over the Panthers on Tuesday. He has alternated wins and losses in each of his last six games with a 2.46 GAA and .913 SV%. Tonight, he will attempt to completely end the Capitals season. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .902 SV% vs. Washington this season.
Lundqvist gave up two goals on 37 shots in a shootout loss to the Avalanche on Thursday. Despite the loss, it was another strong outing for King Henrik. Make sure to get him in your lineups tonight vs. the Senators.
Penguins' head coach Dan Bylsma said it is too early to say if Malkin will be ready to play game 1 of the playoffs. He has been out Sine March 23rd and will miss his seventh straight game tonight.
Niederreiter missed Thursday's game but will be back tonight vs. the Penguins. He has just on goal and one assist in his last 10 games.
Huberdeau has not played since March 16th because of a concussion. If he is unable to go against the Stars, look for him to return on Tuesday against the Flyers.
McLeod's injury is not serious and he is listed as day-to-day. Ryan Wilson will play forward in his place.
Ebbett has one assist in seven games with the Penguins this season. While with the Baby Penguins, Ebbett has totalled 37 points (12G / 25A) in 40 games. He will be in the lineup tonight with Jussi Jokinen sidelined.
Lack allowed three goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. He has dropped his last three starts with a 3.67 GAA and .863 SV%. He has still started every game since the Olympic break, it does not look like Jacob Markstrom is going to get a start this season.
