Varlamov was yanked after allowing three goals on 10 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Russian Olympian. He draws a solid matchup tonight vs. the Panthers 28th ranked offence, however they pushed four passed him on 33 shots in a 4-1 defeat in November.
Quick allowed three goals on 23 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on Monday. He was given the tail-end of the back-to-back off, but will hop back in the crease tonight vs. the Ducks. Quick enters play with a 4-3-1 record, 2.17 GAA and .921 SV% on the road and he will be playing in one of the toughest buildings in the NHL.
Keith has three goals and 43 assists in 52 games this season and is on pace to be a Norris Trophy finalist. Consider Keith day-to-day.
Kuemper allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Stars on Tuesday. The Wild struggled to muster any offence throughout which ultimately spelled disaster for Kuemper. He comes into play on Thursday with a 4-2-0 record, 1.80 GAA and .941 SV% in January, but he draws a scary matchup vs. the Blackhawks.
Khudobin stopped 22 of 24 shots in a win over the Flyers last night. The lack of action will allow Khudobin to start again tonight against the Sabres. He is 6-3-0 with a 2.07 GAA and .934 SV% since returning from his ankle injury. He should make for a great start in Buffalo tonight.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau continues to shuffle wingers in and out of his lineup as the Olympic break approaches. Silfverberg has produced recently, but lacks consistency. He has 15 points (6G / 9A) in 27 games this season and will likely slot back into the lineup on Saturday at Dodgers Stadium.
Luongo gave up a single goal on 29 shots in a win over the Oilers on Tuesday. He has won back-to-back starts vs. western Canadian opponents while registering a 1.44 GAA and .952 SV%. The first time he met the Predators, he allowed on goal on 31 shots in a 3-1 win.
Hutton turned aside 35 of 36 shots in Monday's victory against the Stars. It was his third consecutive win and he has posted a tremendous 1.95 GA A and .933 SV% in the process. He will need to be at his best tonight because he likely goes head-to-head with Roberto Luongo.
Here comes Paul Maurice to save the day! Pavelec's fantasy value was probably as low as it has ever been a week ago. But then in comes Mr. Maurice and voila! Pavelec has been an entirely different goalie in the last four games. He is 4-0-0 with a 1.75 GAA and .933 SV%. While he has been hot, you have to temper your expectations when he faces a Sharks team who has won four in row while outscoring their opponents 13-7.... The again he just beat the Ducks in Anaheim, your call.
Lehtonen was not tested very much on Tuesday, but he stopped all 18 shots that he faced in a 4-0 win over the Wild. Tonight he will take on the Maple Leafs for the second time this season. In the first meeting he allowed three goals on 24 shots in a 3-2 OT loss.
Quick allowed three goals on 23 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on Monday. He was given the tail-end of the back-to-back off, but will hop back in the crease tonight vs. the Ducks. Quick enters play with a 4-3-1 record, 2.17 GAA and .921 SV% on the road and he will be playing in one of the toughest buildings in the NHL.
Andersen stopped all 10 shots that he faced after replacing Jonas Hiller in Tuesday's loss to the Jets. In his last three starts Andersen has won all three while posting a 2.00 GAA and .936 SV%. Tonight he faces the Kings who have lost three straight contests.
This was pretty obvious on Wednesday, but he is confirmation that Henrik will miss his second straight game. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Coyotes.
Price was pulled after allowing five goals on 21 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. It has been tough sledding for Price as of late, he has allowed 16 goals in his last four starts, going 1-3-0 over that span. Tonight he will take on a Red Wings with a ton of youth and speed in their lineup.
Ramo will make his sixth start in the Flames last seven games when he takes on the Predators tonight. Ramo stopped 30 of 32 shots in a win over the Coyotes on Wednesday. It was his ninth win of the season and moved to 3-4-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .909 SV% in January. He was lit up by the Predators in their first meeting, but overall they are not a great offensive squad.
Raanta stopped 18 of 20 shots in a win over the Oilers on January 12. The Blackhawks will be on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Thursday, so it looks like Raanta will get his 16th start of the season. In his previous 15 starts the rookie netminder is 12-1-3 with a 2.25 GAA and .911 SV%. Behind a strong Hawks offence, he is a solid spot-start option every time he is in the cage.
Stanton rejoined the team at practice on Monday after being out since December 17 with an ankle injury. He was enjoying a lot of success in Vancouver after being claimed off waivers from Chicago earlier in the year. Entering play tonight he has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 36 games.
Ebbett who has been practising since Tuesday is ready to return from an ankle injury that has kept him out since December 5. He will likely head to the AHL for conditioning, but even if he works his way back into the Penguins lineup, he is unlikely going to have any fantasy impact.
Clarkson will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight and will likely miss at least the next three games as well.
Hedman was on the ice for the morning skate and looks to be back in the lineup after missing Sunday's game with an ankle injury. If he plays, expect him to play his regular 20-plus minutes on the top-pair and top power-play unit.
