Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 36 shots in a win over the Panthers on Saturday. Bob has been great since returning to the Blue Jackets crease. He has won nine of 11 while posting a 2.18 GAA and .931 SV%. He has a tough matchup tonight, but the way he is rolling right now, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
Kennedy took part in the Sharks' morning skate and looks like he will be back in the lineup tonight. He missed the last two games with a lower-body injury. Kennedy has four goals and 11 assists in 49 games this year.
Sbisa has yet to record a point and is a minus-2 in three games since returning from a hand injury.
Vatanen has not played with the Ducks since January 17. The 22-year-old blueliner has six goals and eight assists in 39 games this season.
Timonen was listed as doubtful so this is not a big surprise. He will miss his second straight game and Andrej Meszaros will get a chance to stay in the lineup vs. the Sharks.
Mason stopped all 35 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win over the Kings on Saturday. The Flyers only fired 13 shots on Jonathan Quick, so this win was all Mason. I was his second shutout of the week and third of the season. Tonight he will meet a Sharks team who has scored just two goals in their last four games.
Quick stopped 11 of 13 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Flyers. Yep. The Flyers only had 13 shots and won… The Kings offence is so quiet right now, which limits Quick's short-term fantasy value. He has just one win in his last eight games and a W won't be easy to come by tonight with the Blackhawks in town.
Niemi stopped 29 of 30 shots as he out-dueled Corey Crawford to a 2-1 shootout win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. It was his 28th win of the season which puts him one behind Marc-Andre Fleury for the NHL lead. He carries an 18-2-3 home record into tonight vs.the Flyers.
Timonen is battling a foot injury that he suffered blocking a shot against the Red Wings last week. Timonen is second on the Flyers in scoring amongst D-men with a two goals and 17 assists (19 points) in 55 games.
Andersen stopped 27 of 30 shots in a 5-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday. Andersen won all five starts in January while posting a 1.86 GAA and .939 SV%. Tonight he will face a surging Blue Jackets offence that has tallied 37 goals in their last 10 games.
Clarkson has missed the last eight games with an elbow issue, but it sounds like he is going to play on Tuesday or Thursday. Clarkson has just eight points (3G / 5A) and a minus-5 rating in 36 games this season.
Green missed his second straight game on Sunday and his status for Tuesday's tilt with the Islanders is unknown.
Fistric was injured on Saturday and won't be back until after the Olympic break. His injury allowed the Ducks to recall Sami Vatanen.
Berra stopped 14 of 17 shots after replacing the injured Karri Ramo in a win over the Wild on Saturday. With Ramo out until after the Olympics, the starting job is Berra's. He enters play in Montreal on Tuesday with a 3-5-0, 3.52 GAA and .897 SV% on the road this season.
Lundqvist has won three in a row while allowing just five goals. He sits at 20-18-3 on the season but was a fantastic 8-3-1 in January.
Vatanen registered 14 points (6G / 8A) in 39 games with the Ducks this season. He had one goal and five assists in six games while he was with Norfolk.
Reto Berra will take over the Flames goaltending duties while Ramo is sidelined.
Tanguay was unavailable on Saturday and will not play tonight in New Jersey. He likely won't be ready to play on Tuesday either.
Stastny was held out on Saturday's game and will not play again tonight in New Jersey. His ankle injury is not believed to be serious and is listed as day-to-day.
Ortio has played 25 games with Abbotsford this season. He is top five in the AHL in all goaltending categories with a 19-5 record (2nd) for a .792% winning percentage along with a .930% save percentage (3rd) and a 2.08 GAA (4th).
