Gustavsson gave up five goals on 28 shots in a 5-0 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. 'The Monster' finished January with a 2-1-1 record, 3.36 GAA and .893 SV%. He has not been great as of late, but draws a good matchup tonight vs. a Canucks team who have lost three in a row.
Crawford stopped 38 of 39 shots in Friday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Sharks on Saturday. It was a fantastic outing, but the Blackhawks were stymied by Antti Niemi at the other end. Tonight he will face a Kings team who have scored just two goals in their last five games.
Letang has missed the last two games with an illness and his absence this morning suggests that he will not be available for tonight's game either. We will get an update following the skate.
Jaskin has one goal in six games with the Blues this season. When in the AHL he has recorded 13 goals and 12 assists (25 points) with a plus-11 rating in 32 games.
Schneider stopped 30 of 33 shots in a loss to the Predators on Friday. He has dropped three of his last four starts despite allowing only eight goals (2.00 G/PG). The first time he faced the Avalanche he allowed one goal on 38 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss.
Laich did not play a ton in Friday's loss to the Wings and will not play at all today. He will get an early jump on his Super Bowl party as he nurses a groin injury. Laich's inability of staying healthy cripples his fantasy value.
Green was listed as a game-time decision, but will miss his second consecutive game. Tyson Strachan will stay in the lineup with Green still sidelined. Keep an eye on him leading up to Tuesday's tilt with the Islanders.
Montoya turned aside 34 of 35 shots in a win over the Blackhawks last Sunday. When called upon, Montoya has posted a 2.22 GAA and .925 SV% in 16 appearances this season. If you need a Sunday spot-start, here you go!
Price stopped 34 of 36 shots in a 2-1 OT loss to the Lightning on Saturday. Price was excellent in defeat and will get both starts of the back-to-back set when the Habs take on the Jets this afternoon. Winnipeg has won seven of their last nine, but Price is still a good Sunday play.
Green missed Friday's loss to the Red Wings, but could suit up today in Washington. With only two games on the schedule, you can fit him into your lineup without any risk. Green has seven goals and 23 assists in 51 games.
Ward went 1-1 with a 2.02 GAA and .937 SV% in two AHL games for the Checkers during his conditioning stint. He has missed the Hurricanes’ last 14 games due to a lower-body injury and the conditioning assignment. Prior to the injury, Ward had posted a 6-7-5 record, a 3.15 GAA and an .895 SV% in 19 games with Carolina this season.
Neuvirth gave up three goals on 45 shots in Friday's shootout loss to the Red Wings. He will get a second crack at them this afternoon in Washington. Neuvirth is 3-5-2 with a 2.79 GAA and .917 SV% this season and makes for a strong Sunday, late surge spot-start.
Letang will miss his second consecutive game tonight. He was listed as doubtful so this is not really a surprise. Monitor his status prior to Monday's contest.
Hutton stopped 24 of 26 shots in a win over the Devils last night. He will get both starts of the back-to-back set when he takes on the Blues tonight. He finished January with a 6-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA and .917 SV%. He lost his first start against St. Louis.
The 38-year-old defenseman has two goals and 17 assists in his 55 games this season. The Finnish Olympian had been bothered by a foot injury recently. He left Tuesday’s game against the Detroit in the second period after blocking a shot. The Flyers officially list Timonen as “day-to-day” with a “lower-body” injury. Timonen didn’t practice with the Flyers Friday. Filling in his place is Andrej Meszaros. The 28-year-old Slovakian has four goals and 11 assists in 32 games this season. All 23 games he’s missed have been as a healthy scratch.
Quick was yanked after allowed three goals on seven shots in the first period in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins. Quick wrapped up the month of January with a 5-6-2 record, 1.85 GAA and .925 SV%. It looks like he will get the nod today against the Flyers, who have lost five of their last six.
Mason surrendered four goals on 27 shots in a loss to the Ducks on Thursday. He finished January 4-5-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .889 SV%. Mason has struggled recently, but will get a shot at the slumping Kings tonight. Los Angeles has lost seven of their last eight while being outscored 23-10.
Ramo was excellent on Thursday stopping 27 of 28 shots in a win over the Sharks. The W moved him to 11-10-4 with a 2.69 GAA and .907 SV% this season. He carries a 6-4-0 home record into tonight's meeting with the Wild, the first of his career vs. Minny.
Hiller allowed four goals on 33 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Wild on Tuesday. He was given Thursday off, so there is no surprise that Hiller is in-line to start tonight. After winning 14 in a row, Hiller has now lost three of his last four starts. Hiller has allowed six goals on 47 shots (.872 SV%) in four period vs. the Stars this season.
Crawford stopped 29 of 31 shots in a win over the Canucks on Wednesday. Looking back on January, Crawford went 3-2-6 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 starts. He enters play tonight with a 1-0-1 record with a 1.44 GAA and .955 SV% against the Sharks this season.
