NHL Hockey Player News
Goalie Start
Mason is the Flyers starter.
Mason allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Flyers season opener. Ray Emery did not fair much better last evening so Mason will go tonight. He will face the 0-1 Carolina Hurriances
Goalie Start
Khudobin will start for the Hurricanes.
Khudobin will make his Hurricanes debut tonight vs the Flyers. He lost his only start vs. Philly last season with a 4.61 GAA and .813 SV%.
Line Change
Taylor Hall-Ryan Nugent-Hopkins-Jordan Eberle
The Hall centre experiment is over with the return of Nugent-Hopkins. Hall has shifted back to his natural position of LW with RNH and Eberle. Hall has one assist but is a minus-5 in two games so far.
Ryan Wilson playing with Jan Hejda in practice. Seems at full strength
Wilson missed the entire preseason and the first two games of the season with a knee injury. It sounds like he will return to the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Maple Leafs. Wilson had three assists in 12 games last season.
Goalie Start
The Canucks will turn to Eddie Lack in goal. Lack, the 25-year-old netminder from Sweden, will make his NHL debut.
Lack was 7-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .899 SV% for the Chicago Wolves (AHL) last season. He is unlikely to see a lot of starts behind Roberto Luongo. He could make a solid spot start vs. the Flames for people who have nothing to lose in the goalie categories.
Gabriel Landeskog returned to practice today, seemingly with no limitations.
Landeskog missed Friday's game with a leg injury. He will travel with the Avs on their three-game road trip and is expected to return Tuesday night in Toronto.
Cammalleri (hand) remains out for tonight's contest with Canucks.
Cammalleri has not played yet this season, but should be nearing a return. The Flames could use his veteren presence with the amount of inexperience in their lineup. Continue to monitor his status in the coming weeks.
Tobias Enstrom is a game-time decision.
Enstrom was given a maintenance day yesterday but was expected to play tonight. Monitor his status prior to the 8 PM EST puck drop.
The Nashville Predators have announced that Roman Josi has a concussion as a result of the hit from Steve Downie on Friday.
Monitor his status prior to Tuesday's contest with the Wild. Ryan Ellis will enter the lineup should Josi be inactive.
Defenseman Fedor Tyutin (lower body) did not travel, but Richards has said that Thursday is a possibility for him.
Tyutin has yet to play this season. He had four goals and 18 assists in 48 games last season.
Injury
Forward Jared Boll (upper body-injury) traveled with the club and took part in the morning skate but was not uniform for last night’s game.
“He’s getting close, though,” Richards said. “Our target day is the Buffalo game” on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Cam Ward is the likely starter for the Hurricanes.
Ward allowed three goals on 38 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings in Carolina's home opener. Besides losing, Ward looked excellent after missing much of last season with a knee injury. Should he start, he will face the 0-2 Philadelphia Flyers who have scored only two goals in their first two games.
Claude Noel confirms Grant Clitsome is in tonight for the Jets.
Winnipeg has yet to announce who will come out of the lineup, but it is likely Paul Postma. Clitsome had four goals and 12 assists in 44 games last season.
Goalie Start
Mason is the likely starter for the Flyers.
Mason allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Flyers season opener. Ray Emery did not fair much better last evening so it is likely that Mason will start tonight. He will face the 0-1 Carolina Hurriances.

Letang skated with conditioning coach Kadar before Penguins practice.
While the Penguins have yet to give a timetable on Letang's return this is a positive sign, that he is getting closer.

He was injured on a hit from Andrew Cogliano last night and did not return. Coyle is not expected to miss an extended period of time.
Roman Josi (upper body) is not at Predators practice after being injured on a hit by Steve Downie on Friday.
Josi's status for Tuesday's contest is unknown, monitor his status tomorrow.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
