Hornqvist missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will play against Minnesota tonight. He has 24 points (9G / 15A) in 41 games this season. There is no word on who will come out of the lineup for Hornqvist.
Emery stopped all seven shots that he faced after replacing Steve Mason for the third period of Saturday's loss to the Lightning. In Emery's last three outings he is 2-0-0 with a 1.27 GAA and .953 SV% so he should make for a solid Sunday spot-start against the Rangers.
Tlusty was expected to miss two-to-three weeks after undergoing and emergency appendectomy on December 24. Tuesday would mark the three week point, so with his return to practice there is a good chance that he will be in the lineup on Monday. The appendectomy cost Tlusty nine games, but is looks like he will skate with Elias Lindholm and Radek Dvorak tomorrow vs. the Flames. He has followed his breakout season in 2012-13 with a dismal 10 points (6G / 4A) in 37 games this year.
This was foreshadowed by the Hurricanes roster moves earlier in the week, but now with Staal officially back at practice, he seems like a lock to play on Monday. Staal caught a break with Tuesday's game against the Sabres getting postponed, so he only missed three games with a lower-body injury that he suffered last Saturday. Staal was held off of Team Canada and that could be great news for his fantasy investors, expect an inspired player for the second half of the season. He has 35 points (10G / 25A) in 42 games this season, but it is his minus-15 rating that is concerning.
Bernier allowed three goals on 35 shots Friday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. After a tremendous performance in the Winter Classic, Bernier has limped to an 0-3-0 record with a 4.00 GAA and .868 SV%. He has a good chance to find the win column tonight against a Devils team who have scored just 16 goals in their last nine games (1.77 G/PG).
Dubnyk gave up three goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 OT win over the Penguins on Friday. It sounded like the original plan was to go with Ilya Bryzgalov against the Blackhawks, but following a rare strong performance from Dubnyk, they will turn to him again tonight. If you need goalie numbers, you can take a chance on him, but the matchup is an ugly one.
Lundqvist allowed two goals on 26 shots in a 3-2 win over the Stars on Friday. 'King Henrik' is 4-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and .917 SV% in his last six starts as he is starting to trend back to his usual stud-like numbers. He has a fairly difficult matchup tonight, he will take on the Flyers who have won nine of their last 12 games and continue to climb up the NHL standings.
Mrazek stopped all three shots he faced after replacing Jimmy Howard in the third period on Thursday. In his last start he gave up three goals on 19 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Islanders on December 23. Overall he is 1-2-0 with a 1.74 GAA and .914 SV% in three starts and five appearances. He draws a tough assignment tonight against the NHL's best Anaheim Ducks (34-8-5).
Schneider stopped 29 of 30 shots in a win over the Panthers on Saturday. He has been excellent lately, he has won three of his last four starts while allowing just four goals, stopping 105 of 109 shots (.963 SV%). He will take on a slumping Maple Leafs team on Sunday.
Alfredsson will not play tonight because of back spasms and his status for Sunday's contest is unknown. Mikael Samuelsson will enter the lineup for Alfredsson.
Getzlaf was injured after blocking a shot tonight vs. Phoenix. Getzlaf had recorded one goal prior to retiring to the dressing room from the night. The Ducks are back in action tomorrow night, so monitor Getzlaf's status on Sunday.
Quick allowed two goals on 22 shots in a 4-2 win over the Bruins on Thursday. He is now 2-0-1 with a 1.30 GAA and .940 SV% in three starts since returning from his grade 2 groin strain which cost him nearly two months. Tonight he will face a Red Wings squad without four of their top-9 forwards, should be able to start him without worry.
Fleury allowed four goals on 26 shots in a come from behind OT win over the Canucks on Tuesday. He has won three straight and leads the NHL with 25 wins. Tonight he has a tremendous matchup in Calgary, he is a must-start.
Mazanec allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Ducks on Thursday. In Mazanec's last eight outings, he has allowed three-plus goals six times. Those are not numbers that you want on your fantasy team. Tonight the Predators welcome the Senators to Nashville, Mazanec is 5-6-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .896 SV% at home.
Prior to a two-game return in losses to the Islanders and St. Louis, Harding missed another four games to make what was termed "a minor adjustment" to his treatment protocol for multiple sclerosis. Yeo said it was a good sign to see Harding on the ice, but didn’t have a specific timetable for Harding’s return. “I talked to him this morning and he’s been feeling better the last couple days,” Yeo said. “So we’ll look for him to join the group here soon.
McElhinney allowed six goals on 37 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Blues last Saturday. With Bobrovsky back and playing well, McElhinney has been bumped back into the back-up role. With the Blue Jackets playing three games in four days, Bobrovsky will likely get a break tonight and be back in the cage on Monday.
Parros missed the last 10 games with his second concussion of the season. He was cleared earlier in the week, but will finally get the call tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He is a fighter only, and averages just 3:56 TOI in his nine games this season. He is not fantasy relevant.
Salo only played 4:30 in the Lightning's win over the Flyers. He left with an apparent leg injury, putting very limited weight on his leg as he left the ice. Expect a full update later today or on Sunday. The Lightning have a lot of D depth, expect Mark Barberio to slide back in if Salo can't play on Monday.
Eriksson missed the last 15 games with a concussion that he suffered on December 7. He is expected to start the game on the Bruins third line with Carl Soderberg and Ryan Spooner. He has totalled 14 points (5G / 9A) with a plus-8 in 24 games this season. He is owned in 66% of Yahoo leagues. Eriksson would be a consistent producer that would provide depth at both LW and RW.
Rask was yanked after allowed three goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Kings on Thursday. This marks the second time in his last five starts that Rask has been pulled. It has been a rough stretch of games for Rask, but it is no time to panic with one of the NHL's best goalies. Tonight he will face fellow Finnish Olympian Antti Niemi and the San Jose Sharks.
