Nabokov allowed three goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Oilers on Wednesday. He has lost four of his last five starts while allowing 18 goals on 116 shots (.845 SV%). He is losing his 'starter' tag on Long Island, but does it really matter? They are terrible and you probably should own him regardless if he is the number-1 or not.
Montoya stopped all 12 shots he faced while mopping up for Ondrej Pavelec in Saturday's loss to the Senators. Tonight, it looks like he will start against the Avalanche for the third time this season. In the previous two meetings he has gone 1-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and .943 SV%.
Jones gave up four goals 29 shots in a win over the Avalanche on February 26. He will likely get a rare start tonight in the second game of a back-to-back. Jonathan Quick has won six in a row, so don't expect Jones to get many starts going forward. However, tonight he is a great spot-start option vs. the Flames.
Lack stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 2-1 win over the Flames on Saturday. However, the problem was the one goal he allowed was a 100-foot slapper from Brian McGrattan. After the embarrassing goal, Lack settled in and managed to squeak out a win despite the Canucks only having 14 shots. He draws another strong matchup tonight vs. the Isles.
Sbisa suffered the knee injury on Friday vs. Pittsburgh and will not play tonight, but his presence on the ice this morning is a positive sign that the knee injury is not serious.
Glencross was on the ice again on Monday as he continues to work his way back from a high-ankle sprain. Glencross has not played since December 21, but will return this week, however it is unknown whether it will be Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.
Liles will miss his second straight game after getting injured on Friday vs. the Rangers. He is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back along with Justin Faulk on Thursday.
Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with an upper body injury that he suffered last Sunday. He is listed as day-to-day so Thursday vs. Buffalo could be a possible return date for the 21-year-old defenseman.
Ramo continues to work his way back from an MCL sprain that he suffered on February 1. He has yet to join the Flames for practice, but he was reportedly skating well this morning which is another positive step in his recovery.
MacArthur will not play Monday, but the Senators are off all week after tonight, so he should be ready to go vs. the Habs on Saturday. Tonight, Mike Hoffman will skate in his spot on the second line once again.
Nikitin missed Saturday's game after suffering an upper-body injury on Thursday in Chicago. He will skate with James Wisniewski as Cody Goloubef takes a seat.
Fasth will make his Oilers debut and his first start since November 18. He went 2-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .885 SV% in five starts with the Ducks before getting hurt. He also went 3-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .922 SV% in five AHL conditioning starts, so he should be 100 per cent tonight in Minnesota. It will be tougher sledding behind the Oilers than the Ducks, but expect Fasth to give Ben Scrivens a good-run for the number-1 job.
Schlemko is not progressing like the Coyotes will like, so he will return to Arizona where he can rest his bone bruise and be monitored by the Coyotes doctors. Phoenix has three games left in their road-trip so expect Schlemko to miss at least three games and return by Saturday at the earliest.
Missing four weeks would have Gorges missing the next 14 games and returning with just two regular season games remaining. Montreal looks poised for a playoff spot so Gorges is expected to be back for a Stanley Cup push.
Montreal does not play until Wednesday, so Price has time to get back to 100 per cent over the next few days and start against the Bruins. Monitor his status as the week progresses.
Stastny, who only played one shift on Saturday, is listed as day-to-day. The Avalanche will dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards tonight, with Nathan MacKinnon centring Gabriel Landeskog and Jamie McGinn.
Andersen stopped 49 of 52 shots i na win over the Hurricanes on March 2. The 49-save performance is a career-high for Andersen, who will get the start tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Toronto plays a very offensive game, so the matchup is not great. However, Andersen is 8-1-0 with a 1.88 GAA and .943 SV% at home this season, so it is strength vs. strength in Cali tonight.
Hanzal will miss his fourth straight contest with a lower-body injury. He was on the ice for the morning skate, which is a positive sign that he could return on Tuesday.
Hornqvist has two goals and five assists in his last 10 contests. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.
Ortio stopped 12 of 14 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Saturday. It was a quiet night for Ortio, but aside from a 100-foot blast by Brian McGrattan, the Flames couldn't beat Eddie Lack. His fourth straight start will come vs. a Kings team who have won seven in a row while outscoring the opposition 20-9.
