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.
Bryzgalov allowed three goals on 39 shots in a 3-2 OT loss to the Jets on Saturday. He kept the Oilers in the game, but was hung-out to dry on the OT winner. He was given Tuesday night off, but draws the start vs. his former team on Friday. The Coyotes pushed four passed him on 45 shots in a 4-3 OT defeat on New Years Eve.
Scratch the Niemi likely, Stalock gets the nod in goal tonight. He stopped all 24 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Panthers on January 16 and he will face a Jets team who has not lost under new head coach Paul Maurice. He usually makes for a strong spot-start, but the way Winnipeg is playing right now, he is a little risky.
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.
Gustavsson did not look all that comfortable in his first start in nearly a month, but he stopped 31 of 35 shots in regulation and OT including four of six shootout attempts in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win. Friday he faces a Habs team who have lost three of their last four while being outscored 16-10.
Henrique was injured on Tuesday, but practiced today and will play tomorrow. He has 25 points (13G / 12A) in 51 games this season.
Methot will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. Methot said that he feels like he can play tonight, but it is a coach's decision that he is out. The Senators played well on Tuesday, if it's not broken, why fix it?
Barkov was injured on Tuesday in Buffalo and is listed as day-to-day. Barkov's injury is not believed to be serious and he could play tomorrow, depending on his availability for the morning skate.
Bernier stopped 39 of 41 shots in a win over the Coyotes on Monday. Bernier has won four consecutive starts while posting a 2.45 GAA and .935 SV%. The Maple Leafs are playing great hockey right now, while the Stars are not, Bernier should make for a good start tonight.
Zatkoff gave up four goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Oilers on January 10. It was a rough start for the 26-year-old, but ultimately he has been good when called upon this season. He enters play tonight 7-2-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .906 SV% this season. It will be his third start vs. the Isles this season, in the first two he is 1-1-0 with a 3.53 GAA and .883 SV%.
Klein was acquired by the Rangers when they traded Michael Del Zotto on Wednesday. Klein has just three points (1G / 2A) with a minus-11 rating in 47 games with the Predators. He has a career-high of 21 points in 2011-12 and is known more for his defence than his offence. Moving to New York will not improve or decrease his already very minimal fantasy value.
Jeffrey has been a healthy scratch in seven of the last 10 games. The Stars have said that Jeffrey needs to play and that is why he is heading to the AHL.
Gaborik appears to be healing on schedule and is on track for a return following the Olympic break.
Schneider allowed one goal on 27 shots in a 7-1 blowout win vs. the Blues on Tuesday. Schneider has been excellent over the last month, he is 4-1-2 with a ridiculous 1.11 GAA and .960 SV%. Despite the Devils subpar offence, Schneider is a top-tier fantasy option. On Friday he faces a Caps team who have only seven goals in their last six games.
Parise missed the last 14 games with a fractured foot, but says that he will give it a go tonight. Parise will skate on a line with Charlie Coyle and Nino Niederreiter and also slide back onto the top power-play unit. Parise has 27 points (15G / 12A) in 37 games this season. He should be activated in all formats.
