NHL Hockey Player News

Quick stopped 25 of 26 shots vs. Vancouver on Saturday to register his 10th of the season. The Kings' backstop has won five of his last six starts and has a great matchup tonight when LA travels to Buffalo.

Pouling allowed four goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Canadiens on Sunday. He as seen more crease-time with Evgeni Nabokov struggling. He has one win in five appearances while posting a 2.62 GAA and .908 SV%. Poulin has a good matchup tonight vs. Nashville.

Holtby allowed four tallies on 37 shots in a losing effort to the Avalanche on Sunday. It was a tough matchup for Holtby, who saw his three-game winning streak snapped. He has been rock-solid as of late so he should be a strong start at home vs. Columbus.

Mottau appears to be in line to make his Panthers debut on Tuesday after playing 313 NHL games with the Bruins, Islanders, Devils, Flames and Rangers. He is not a fantasy option.

Korobov is a 24-year-old defenseman who has six assists in 13 games with Norfolk. The Lightning saw Sami Salo and Keith Aulie go down on Monday, so Korobov provides them with depth on the blueline.

Brown is a 23-year-old winger who has four goals and six assists (10 points) in 13 games with Norfolk (AHL). With the injury to Steven Stamkos the Lightning will have to undoubtedly juggle their lineup to try and replace the lost production.

We will get an update after practice, if Phillips can not play the Senators are expected to go with Cowen, Karlsson, Borowiecki, Méthot, Wiercioch and Corvo.

Fasth has been out since October 18 and has seen his replacement Frederik Andersen go 6-0-0 with a 1.41 GAA and .952 SV%. It will be interesting to see how the Ducks handle this situation - Fasth was great in his rookie season and signed a two-year extension, but will the Ducks send a 6-0 Andersen down?

Porter failed to record a point while averaging 7:45 TOI in two games with the Blues.

Peter's had his two-game winning streak snapped in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Wild on Saturday. He stopped 28 of 30 shots - his third strong outing in a row. However, you should likely stay away from Peters tonight when he faces the second place Colorado Avalanche.

Fisher has missed the last three games - monitor his status following the Predators' morning skate.

On Saturday, Bobrovsky recorded his first win since October 25 when he stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 5-2 win over the Islanders. He had lost three straight starts prior to the W on Saturday and will be in tough tonight as the Blue Jackets visit Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.

It was only the second time Aulie has dressed this season. He played 8:32 today, but is considered day-to-day after a game where the Lightning lost Steven Stamkos and Sami Salo.

In a game where Steven Stamkos broke his tibia, losing Salo is just salt in the wound. It sounds like the injury might be serious, not a broken tibia serious, but he could miss multiple weeks.

Moore has missed the last six games with an oblique injury. Moore has one assist and a minus-5 rating in 11 games, he is not a realistic fantasy consideration.

Burns continues to progress towards a return, but it does not appear that it will be tomorrow. James Neal randomly played on Saturday though so don't completely rule him out yet. His next opportunity to play would be Thursday versus Vancouver.

Stamkos is out indefinitely after scoring 14 goals and adding 9 assists (t-1st in NHL with 23 points) in 16 games. Valtteri Filppula, Tyler Johnson and Nate Thompson should see expanded roles with Stamkos out.

Morrow has missed the last five games after suffering an upper-body injury on October 29 vs. Washington. The veteran winger is not the scoring threat that he used to be - he has very limited fantasy value.

Martin missed Saturday's game vs. St. Louis and his status for Wednesday remains uncertain. The Penguins will release an update following Wednesday's morning skate. He has one goal and five assists in 16 contests.

Getzlaf sat out on Sunday after being banged up vs. Buffalo - in a game he registered a hat-trick. The injury is expected to be minor and he could play on Tuesday vs. the Panthers.
