In seven games with the Hurricanes, Terry failed to record a point and was a minus-3. He returns to Charlotte where he has six goals and 10 points in 10 games.
Lindholm, 18, was selected fifth overall in the 2013 NHL Draft had one goal and one assist in 10 games with the Hurricanes before being sent to Charlotte. With the Checkers he posted a goal and two assists in six games. He arrives in town to help revive Carolina's struggling power-play. They rank 28th in the NHL with a 11.9% success rate on the PP. Chris Terry has been returned to the AHL to make room for Lindholm.
Bishop gave up five goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Kings on Tuesday. It was his second rough outing that resulted in a loss but he will look to snap the Lightning's three game skid tonight vs. Anaheim. He stopped 24 of 25 shots in a win over the Ducks in Tampa Bay on November 14.
All Red Wings beat reporters confirmed Howard to start tonight, but he came down with the flu and Jonas Gustavsson ended up getting the start. Monitor Howard's status prior to Saturday's contest vs. the Senators, it all depends how long the flu sticks around wether or not it will be Howard or 'The Monster' vs. Ottawa.
Jackman is 6-foot-4, 220 lbs. fourth line forward. He had one goal and 41 penalty minutes while averaging 6:23 TOI in 10 games with the Flames. The 32-year-old tough-guy has skated in 400 career NHL games and has spent the last four season with Calgary. He is not fantasy relevant but brings some toughness to the Ducks.
Niemi gave up five goals on 27 shots in a loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday. A matchup with Chicago is never an easy one, but the loss marked his sixth in his last seven starts. Tonight he faces the Lightning who are 0-2-0 on their current road-trip and have been outscored 11-5 in those two losses.
Linback allowed two goals on 15 shots in a relief effort on Sunday. He has not started since November 11 when he gave up two goals on 25 shots in a loss to the Bruins. Lindback is 1-4-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .875 SV% this season. He has a tough matchup tonight on the road vs. San Jose.
Hunwick made his season debut on Saturday, he played 17:27 but did not record a point. He returns to the AHL where he has two assists and a minus-2 rating in five games.
Mattias Tedenby will enter the lineup in Brunner's place tonight vs. Los Angeles. Brunner has failed to record a point in the last 10 games. He had seven points in the first 10 contests but has cooled off considerably. The entire New Jersey offence has struggled and ranks 25th in scoring.
Tedenby has been a healthy scratch in the last three Devils contests. He has one goal and a minus-3 rating in nine games. He is not fantasy relevant.
Thomas allowed two goals on 29 shots in a big shootout win over the Canucks on Tuesday. It was Thomas' second straight win and third in his last four starts. He gets the nod tonight against a skilled Oilers team who put up seven against Columbus on Tuesday.
Berra allowed two goals on 18 shots in a 2-1 OT loss to the Blue Jackets on Wednesday. Berra did have one incredible bicycle-kick looking save that should be a save of the year candidate, but he was still on the wrong end of the score board for the sixth time in eight appearances. Berra has a solid matchup tomorrow vs.Florida.
The Sabres tried to send Grigorenko to the AHL on a conditioning stint on Tuesday but it was denied by the NHL. With Grigorenko returning to Buffalo yesterday, he will be in the lineup tonight. The 19-year-old has struggled with just two goals and one assist in 15 games.
Leaving the ice first at an optional does not mean Lindback will start, hopefully head coach Jon Cooper will announce his starter after the skate. Linback allowed two goals on 15 shots in a relief effort on Sunday. He has not started since November 11 when he gave up two goals on 25 shots in a loss to the Bruins. Lindback is 1-4-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .875 SV% this season.
Burns has been scratched for the last 13 games, after taking a series of high hits that included a whack in the face from Ottawa goaltender Robyn Lehner on Oct. 12. He had four goals and four assists in his first eight games on a line with Thornton and Tomas Hertl, with seven of his eight points coming at even strength.
Smith surrendered three goals on 30 shots but still walked away with the win over Saturday. The W moved him to 8-0-1 with a 2.39 GAA and .921 SV% at home this season. Tonight the Coyotes welcome the Avalanche to town for the first time this season. It is a tough matchup for Smith, but his home record suggests he should have a strong night.
Scrivens allowed two goals on 21 shots against Tampa Bay on Tuesday for his fourth straight win. Since becoming the Kings starter he is 4-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .963 SV%. These numbers are expected to drop closer to his career numbers (2.58 / .916) but he remains a viable fantasy option as the Kings number-1.
Korpikoski left Saturday's game in the third period and did not return. The injury is not believed to be serious and he could return on Saturday.
Michalek was injured in the first period on November 14 vs. Chicago. He is a staple on the Coyotes top-pair so his absence is a tough loss for Phoenix. Consider him questionable for Saturday's meeting with Anaheim.
Morris missed the last five games after being injured on November 5. Morries has had a strong start to the season scoring four goals and adding six assists in 14 games. His return will stabilize the Coyotes blueline.
