Gustavsson has missed the last five games with a groin injury, but will return to his back-up role tonight. The Red Wings are going to lean on Jimmy Howard down the stretch, but should he falter, Gustavsson will be there to pick up the slack.
Lehner was yanked after allowing five goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rangers. Lehner has allowed 13 goals in three starts since Craig Anderson went down with an injury. He should be avoided again tonight when he takes on a Lightning team who's captain, Steven Stamkos is firing on all cylinders.
Bryzgalov stopped all 36 shots that he faced in a 6-0 win over the Islanders on Tuesday. It was Bryzgalov's first win as a member of the Wild. The strong outing has earned him the start tonight in Zach Parise's return to New Jersey. It is another good matchup vs. a Devils team who have lost three in a row.
Mason allowed three goals on 23 shots in a win over the Penguins on Sunday. He won each game of the back-to-back vs. Pittsburgh over the weekend and that earned him Tuesday night off. He will be back in goal vs. the Stars tonight. He was pulled after allowing four goals on 26 shots in the first two periods the last time he faced Dallas.
With Craig Anderson (undisclosed) still not ready to suit up tonight, Hammond has been recalled. There is no word on if the Senators pan to start him tonight, or stick with the struggling Robin Lehner.
Mason allowed three goals on 23 shots in a win over the Penguins on Sunday. He won each game of the back-to-back vs. Pittsburgh over the weekend and that earned him Tuesday night off. He will be back in goal vs. the Stars tonight. He was pulled after allowing four goals on 26 shots in the first two periods the last time he faced Dallas.
Howard allowed two goals on 33 shots in a 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. It was a huge win for Howie and the Red Wings. It is the type of performance the Wings need to continue that 22-year playoff streak. Tonight, he will be in tough with Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in MoTown.
Price stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 victory against the Avalanche. Despite allowed seven goals in two games since returning from a lower-body injury, Price sits at 2-0. Tonight, he faces the Blue Jackets who are sitting in the final Wild Card spot in the East. Price stopped 30 shots in a 5-3 win over the Jackets in October.
Head coach Paul Maurice does not believe the injury to Bogosian is serious and expects to have him back on Saturday. Despite not having Bogosian, Ondrej Pavelec and Dustin Byfuglien the Jets were able to squeak out a win over a tough Avs team. All three are expected to be back for Saturday.
Kane could be in danger of missing the remainder of the regular season, which would be a huge blow to your fantasy roster. Kane's left leg was hit after teammate Sheldon Brookbank checked Blues forward Brendan Morrow to the ice along the boards. Morrow hit Kane's left leg and he fell awkwardly to the ice. The three-week mark would have him back on April 10th, with the regular season wrapping up on April 13th, it is tough to see him playing again before the playoffs.
Montoya allowed two goals on 25 shots in a loss to the Blues on Monday. Overall, he has stopped 41 of the last 47 shots (.872 SV%) in the last eight periods of hockey. He has a tough matchup tonight against the Avalanche.
Hutton allowed one goal on 25 shots in a win over the Sabres on March 11th and stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Pekka Rinne last night. Hutton is 1-0 vs. the Canucks this season and has gone 8-6-3 with a 2.95 GAA and .901 SV% on the road.
Reimer allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Red Wings last night. Randy Carlyle was not all that pleased with Reimer's performance, but the three goals all came on an odd-man rush or partial breakaway. Tonight, he will face the Lightning at the ACC. He is 1-3-0 with a 3.31 GAA and .915 SV% in his last four outings.
Fowler's knee injury will cost him the remainder of the regular season. He is safe to drop in one-year fantasy formats, but remains a strong keeper option on the backend. Stephane Robidas will likely stay in the Ducks lineup with Fowler out.
MacIntyre has been recalled because Matt Hendricks and Nail Yakupov are both questionable for Thursday.
Almqvist likely won't get into the lineup with six healthy defensemen ahead of him. However, the way Red Wings are dropping lately, he could be on the blueline by Saturday.
For the sixth consecutive game the Red WIngs lost a player to injury. Ericsson is gone for the remainder of the regular season and part of the playoffs, if the Red Wings qualify.
Brown missed the last two games with a combination of an illness and lower-body soreness. It is up to the coaches if Brown will officially get back into the lineup, but it sounds like he will play. He has 22 points (12G / 10A) in 66 games this season.
Hendricks was injured on Monday when blocking a Shea Weber shot. The Oilers have recalled Steve MacIntyre and Tyler Pitlick from Oklahoma City (AHL).
Yakupov missed Tuesday's game with an ankle ailment and likely will not be in the lineup on Thursday vs. the Sabres. Steve MacIntyre and Tyler Pitlick have been recalled from OKC (AHL).
