Glass was placed on waivers on Tuesday, but went unclaimed so the Rangers will send him to Hartford. Glass had no points in two games and was a healthy scratch in the last three games.
Ellis missed Tuesday’s game vs. Tampa Bay, but he was back at practice this afternoon and was skating with his usual partner Mattias Ekholm, which suggests that he could be back in the lineup on Thursday vs. Anaheim.
Talbot gave up two goals on 24 shots in the Oilers win over the Flames on Saturday. He was given the second game of the back-to-back off, but will be back in goal tonight vs. Detroit. The Red Wings are currently tied for ninth in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game. Talbot enters with a 2.54 GAA and .908 SV% in four starts.
Stepan missed Wednesday’s practice because he had his wisdom teeth removed, but he is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday vs. the Coyotes. Stephan has three gaols, one assist and 20 shots on goal in seven contests this season. Monitor his status during Thursday’s morning skate to be sure he plays.
Reinhart missed Tuesday’s practice and today’s gameday skate so he will be held out of the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. He is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will be replaced by Andrew Ference.
Lundqvist allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Rangers’ shootout loss to the Devils on Sunday. He was given Monday night off, so he will be back in goal tonight vs. the visiting Coyotes. Lundqvist enters play on a three-game losing streak and sits at 3-2-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .931 SV% on the season.
Ramo was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots last night and has posted a 4.38 GAA and .879 SV% in three starts this season. The Flames opening night starter has been placed on waivers and will either be claimed by another team or be sent to Stockton (AHL). The Flames were already carrying three goalies, so with Ramo now out of the picture they will turn to the duo of Jonas Hiller and Joni Ortio.
Johnson allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Sabres loss in Tampa Bay on Saturday. He has lost three of his last four starts and sits with a 2.70 GAA and .896 SV% in five games with the Sabres this season. Tonight he has a chance to get back into the win column vs. a struggling Maple Leafs team minus two of their better players.
Umberger missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but he will return to the lineup tonight in Boston. Umberger will replaced Sam Gagner in the lineup. The veteran forward has two assists and three shots in two games this season.
Gagner registered one goal and one assist while averaging 12:13 TOI in three games, but will come out of the lineup tonight in favour of R.J Umberger.
Schenn has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but he will be reinserted into the lineup tonight in Boston. He will replace Brandon Manning, who struggled on Tuesday vs. the Stars. Schenn has zero points, one shot on goal a and a minus-2 rating in two games.
Gardiner was not on the ice for the Maple Leafs morning skate and will miss tonight’s matchup with the Sabres with an undisclosed injury. Maple Leafs’ coach Mike Babcock called him day-to-day, which means he could be back for Saturday’s game in Montreal or miss a week of action.
Bozak will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. He is listed as day-to-day but head coach Mike Babcock is not sure when they will get Bozak back.
Connolly was a healthy scratch on Saturday in Arizona but will get back into the lineup tonight because Matt Beleskey is sidelined with an upper-body injury. Connolly has one assist, six shots and a minus-4 rating in four games this season.
Methot missed Saturday’s game and Monday’s practice because of a concussion. However, he returned to practice this morning, but did not take part in line rushes, which suggests that he will miss Thursday’s game vs. New Jersey.
Craig Anderson started the first six games of the season, but the Senators will turn to Hammond tonight vs. New Jersey. He was incredible at the end of 2014-15, going 20-1-2 with a 1.79 GAA and .941 SV% to get the Sens to the playoffs. He won’t be able to sustain those numbers, but he should make for a good spot-start tonight vs. the Devils.
Neuvirth stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Flyers shutout win over the Blackhawks last Wednesday. Steve Mason started last night, so the Flyers will turn to Neuvirth tonight in Boston—he comes in with a 132:05 shutout streak having shutout the Hawks and Panthers in back-to-back games.
Seidenberg is not expected to be back in the Bruins lineup until late November, but it is an encouraging sign that he is skating one month removed from back surgery. He is not close to returning, but the Bruins could certainly use him. However, they will probably have to wait another four weeks.
Erixon has yet to appear in a game for the Penguins this season. He was recalled last Friday, but never dressed. He will head to WBS until the Penguins need a depth defenseman.
Larsson was a healthy scratch on Saturday in Tampa Bay, but he will replace David Legwand in the lineup tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Larsson has no points and three shots on goal in three games this season.
