Ehrhoff is not expected to resume practicing until next week, so he will miss both games of the Penguins back-to-back this weekend. It has been couple of months for Ehrhoff, who has appeared in just six games since the end of January.
Fleury allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Penguins loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. Fleury has lost four of his last five starts while posting a 3.39 GAA and .890 SV%. Tonight he will face a Sharks team who will be looking to close out their road-trip on a three-game winning streak—they have scored nine goals in their last two games.
Greiss allowed one goal on 18 shots in the Penguins 2-0 loss to the Devils on March 17th. He has seen three starts and one relief appearances in March—he has gone 1-2-0 with a 1.43 GAA and .941 SV% this month. He makes for a great spot-start with a matchup against the Coyotes and their 29th ranked offence.
Luongo made 24 saves on 25 shots in the Panthers win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Luongo has won three of his last four while posting a 1.72 GAA and .933 SV%. Tonight he will take on a Montreal team he is 1-0-1 with a 1.38 GAA and .959 SV% against this season.
Sheahan missed Friday’s practice and is expected to miss at least a couple of games because of an upper-body injury. Consider Sheahan day-to-day.
Fayne left Wednesday’s game with a shoulder injury and it will keep him out of tonight’s game against the Stars. Fayne will be replaced by Brandon Davidson, who was recalled on an emergency basis.
Reimer stopped all 11 shots that he faced after replacing Jonathan Bernier in the Maple Leafs loss to the Panthers on Thursday. Reimer has gone 0-2-0 with a 3.70 GAA and .888 SV% in three starts and three relief appearances this month. He has gone 1-1-0 with a 4.24 GAA and .882 SV% in three starts against the Senators this season.
Gunnarsson has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but he will be back in the lineup tomorrow vs. the Blue Jackets. Gunnarsson will be paired with Alex Pietrangelo.
Bachman allowed two goals and 21 shots after replacing Ben Scrivens in the Oilers 6-2 loss to the Penguins on March 12th. He only has one start this season, he allowed six goals that night. Overall he is 0-2-0 with a 5.27 GAA and .854 SV% with the Oilers this season. He should be left on free agency tonight.
Schaller was sent down the other day, but was recalled almost immediately because Tyler Ennis is out with an injury. Schaller has one goal and one assist in 14 games with the Sabres this season.
Semin reportedly suffered an undisclosed injury on Thursday and is questionable for Saturday’s game. Semin has two goals in his last 10 games.
Ward allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Penguins on Thursday. It was a nice return to the crease for Ward, who had missed five games with an illness. Tonight he takes on a Devils team who have dropped their last three games.
Shattenkirk will play in his first game since February 1st. Shattenkirk missed 25 games but the All-Star will suit up on the third pairing with Barrett Jackman as well as anchor the top-power-play unit. Shattenkirk registered 40 points (8G / 32A) in 49 games before getting injured.
Rozsival was a minus-2 on Wednesday and has just one assist and a minus-5 in his last seven games. He will take a seat to make room for David Rundblad.
Rundblad has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and six of the last seven, but he will play tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Since arriving in Chicago, the 24-year-old has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 44 games.
Lindback allowed four goals on 39 shots in the Sabres loss in Dallas on Monday. Lindback has gone 1-5-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .926 SV% since being traded to the Sabres. Tonight it looks like he will face an Avalanche team who are 4-2-1 in their last seven contests.
Ennis will travel to Colorado but he is not expected to play tomorrow, so his next chance to return would be Monday in Arizona. However, with nothing left to play for, the Sabres will be ultra-cautious with Ennis.
MacArthur has been out since February 16th, but he will be at coach Cameron’s “disposal” for Saturday. It seems like an easy choice to play MacArthur, but monitor his status during the morning skate.
Anderson has missed the last eight games but he says he is feeling good. He will travel with the team, but the Senators have not announced whether Anderson will dress as a starter or a backup, or if he will even dress at all.
Datsyuk participated in the Red Wings practice on Friday and took part in line rushes with Darren Helm and Tomas Tatar, which is a great sign that he will be available tomorrow vs. the Lightning. The Red Wings will not hold a morning skate, so monitor his status a few hours prior to game-time and during warmups.
