Liles was recalled by the Maple Leafs on Monday to accompany them on their three game road trip. The Maple Leafs will roll with the same six defensemen as they used on Saturday. Liles had a goal and four assists in eight games with the Marlies.
Lupul is in danger of missing his third consecutive game with a bone bruise in his foot. He was skating gingerly yesterday, which suggests that he might not be ready tonight. Monitor his status prior to the 9 PM EST puck-drop.
Miele will centre the Coyotes third line with Tim Kennedy and David Moss. Miele has five goals and three assists in six games with Portland.
With Sam Gagner coming off of IR to return to the lineup tonight, Lander returns to the AHL.
Korpikoski is skating with extra defenseman David Rundblad so he will miss his third straight game tonight. He should be considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Predators.
Reimer added another chapter to Toronto's goalie controversy on Saturday. He stopped 37 shots, leading the Maple Leafs to a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has now won each of his last two starts while making 35-plus saves. He should make for a good start tonight against the Oilers 18th ranked offence.
Dubnyk was on the ice for the Oilers morning skate but left early and will be in the press box tonight. Consider Dubnyk day-to-day, he could be back in the crease on Saturday vs. the Red WIngs.
The Oilers will reward Bachman with another start after a spectacular performance on Sunday vs. LA. He stopped 47 of 48 shots in a heart-breaking shootout loss. He had a .885 SV% in 13 games with the Stars last year, so don't expect this to become a reoccurring theme.
Khabibulin was lit up for six goals on 26 shots in an overtime loss to the Lightning on Thursday. It was just his second start of the season, but the russian netminder has an ugly .818 SV% to begin his second stint with the Blackhawks. He has a decent matchup tonight against the 4-6-2 Senators.
Bennett has missed the Penguins last seven games but appears to be nearing a return. With Chuck Kobasew out 3-4 weeks, the Penguins could certainly use Bennett back in their lineup.
Kobasew was injured in the first period of Monday's contest. He will likely land on IR so the Penguins can recall another forward.
Stempniak will likely be placed on IR so the Flames can recall another forward from Adirondack (AHL). He has four goals and five assists in 10 games.
Gagner wil make his season debut tonight and is expected to skate on a line with Jordan Eberle and Nail Yakupov. Gagner had 14 goals and 24 assists (38 points) in 48 games.
Anderson was beat up for five goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Sharks on Sunday. A matchup with San Jose has been rough for all goalies this season, so we will give Anderson a pass on this one. That being said, facing the Blackhawks on the road.. Is not any better of a matchup.
This is a tough break for a young Flames team who lose their captain until mid-to-late December. He was off to a great start posting two goals and seven assists in eight games. Expect Kris Russell to see an increase in minutes and power-play time with Giordano out.
Pavelec had his best start of the season on Saturday. He made 35 saves on 36 shots as the Jets squeaked out a 2-1 shootout win over the Stars. The early-going had been rough for Pavelec so hopefully this performance will spark some strong play going forward. The Jets are going to need a similar performance tonight vs. a dangers Blues squad.
Sbisa was injured in the first pre-season game and has not played in a game this season. He is hoping to return on Saturday vs. Bruins or Monday vs. the Rangers. He had one goal and seven assists in 41 games with the Ducks last season.
Chiarot has two goals, three assists and is a plus-6 in nine games with the St. Johns IceCaps (AHL).
Hanzal will be eligible to return on Saturday vs. the Sharks. This is a tough break for the Coyotes, Hanzal had been ripping it up as of late. He has five goals and six assists (11 points) in 12 games.
Perreault missed Sunday's game with a sprained wrist, but could be back in the lineup tonight. He has four goals and five assists in 11 games with the Ducks.
