Fasth has not played since November 18 because of lower-body inflammation. He was only expected to miss 3-4 weeks, however he has been out more than two months. There is still no timetable for his return.
Barkov will miss his third straight game on Tuesday after suffering a lower-body injury last Tuesday.
Stalock will get his third start in the last six games. He stopped the last 44 shots he has faced posting two shutouts in a row. He will look for his seventh win tonight vs. the Kings. So far this season, Stalock is 2-0-0 with a 0.76 GAA and .977 SV% at home this season.
Berra stopped 12 of 13 shots after replacing Karri Ramo in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Predators. It was Berra's sixth win of the season and first since December 23. Tuesday he will face the Blackhawks, he is 1-1-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .932 SV% in their first two meetings.
Bryzgalov allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Coyotes on Friday. Bryz has lost four consecutive games and sits at 1-4-1 with a 3.90 GAA and .879 SV% in six January starts. He will face a Canucks squad who have won three of their last four.
Alex Tanguay will draw back into the lineup after resting on Saturday. Parenteau has recorded two assists with a plus-2 rating since returning from his knee injury last Tuesday.
Howard has been scratched for the last three games because of a knee injury. Petr Mrazek has been reassigned to Grand Rapids which says that Howie is ready to return to the crease. Jonas Gustavsson struggled on Sunday, so there is a good chance that Howard will start in Philadelphia tomorrow.
Mrazek has been good when called upon this season. The 21-year-old is 1-3-0 with a 1.64 GAA and .924 SV% with the Red Wings this season. His demotion tells us that Jimmy Howard is ready to return on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Pirri is back with the Blackhawks after being sent down in early January. In 16 AHL games, Pirri recorded four goals and nine assists (13 points). He totalled 11 points (6G / 5A) in 24 games with Chicago this season. He could find himself centering the second line with Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad, making him a strong add in 12-plus team leagues.
Price was yanked after allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 5-0 loss to the Capitals. It was the second time in three starts that Price has been pulled, but that won't deter the Habs to turning to him tomorrow. He has allowed 21 goals in his last five starts (4, 4, 5, 4, 4), so he makes for a good buy-low candidate right now.
Anderson stopped all nine shots that he faced after replacing Robin Lehner in Saturday's loss to the Hurricanes. He enters play on Tuesday with a 4-1-3 record, 2.70 GAA and .913 SV% in January. He allowed four goals in a 4-1 loss the first time he faced the Blue Jackets.
Savard will miss his second straight game with an illness. Cody Goloubef will play in his spot with Nikita Nikitin.
Stafford left Saturday's game early and did not return. Prior to Saturday, Stafford actually had a three-game point streak going (3G / 2A). Linus Omark will draw back into the Sabres lineup while Stafford is sidelined.
Nilsson hast posted a 1-2-2 record with a 3.48 GAA and .877 SV% during his call-ups with the Islanders this season.
Donovan had one goal and five assists with a minus-10 rating in 32 games with the Islanders.
Miller stopped 36 of 38 shots in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and was his 13th of the season. Trade talks involving Miller seem to be ramping-up, but for now he is still a Buffalo Sabre, who take on the Penguins tonight. It is an ugly matchup for Miller, look elsewhere tonight.
van Riemsdyk left the ice towards the end of practice, but is expected to play vs. Tampa Bay tomorrow. He has five goals and five assists (10 points) in his last 11 games.
Kessel left practice this morning, but ended up returning. Monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate. Kessel has seven goals and nine assists (16 points) in his last nine games. If he is available tomorrow, make sure he is active.
Grabovski will miss his second straight game, but could be back on Thursday in Columbus. He is listed as day-to-day.
Spooner missed Saturday's games with the flu, but will be back in the lineup tonight. Spooner has four assists in his last 10 games and a total of 11 assists in 22 games.
