He skated just 3:49 in the season opener before leaving and not returning. Beau Bennett will slide up to the second line with Evgeni Malkin and Jussi Jokinen.
The Avalanhce have not released any information on his injury, which may keep him out of tonight's contest. Monitor his status prior to puck drop.
After undergoing a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat, Peverley is on schedule to make his Stars debut tomorrow vs. Washington. Chris Mueller will come out of the lineup in favour of him.
Ward started last year 9-6-1 with a 2.84 GAA and .908 SV% before suffering a third-degree MCL sprain. Ward missed the rest of the season and without him the Hurricanes missed the playoffs. Back at 100%, Ward will likely see upwards of 65 starts, making Ward a solid fantasy option.
Depending on that one forward’s availability (Hartley referred to him as “questionable”) — Joe Colborne could draw in for his first appearance for the Flames.
The Capitals have not announced whether Steve Oleksy or Alexander Urbom will replace HIllen on their blueline.
We will get an update on Monahan's status for tonight's game.
He sat out yesterday because of groin tenderness, but stated he would play. Alfredsson will appear in his second game as a Red Wing after playing 16:13 and recording three shots in his debut.
Howard got off to a good start to the season vs. Buffalo. He had a fairly easy night stopping 19 of 20 shots in a 2-1 win over the Sabres.
Nabokov helped the Islanders to the playoffs with a 23-11-7 record, 2.50 GAA and .910 SV%. At 38-years-old, Nabby's career is winding down. He has consistently posted a GAA between 2.40-2.50 and SV% slightly above .910 over his last four NHL seasons. His numbers will not blow you away, but they will serve you well as a number-2 fantasy option.
Neal was a game-time decision last night but ended up playing. He skated just 3:49 in the season opener before leaving and not returning. The Pens will probably play it safe and keep him out of tomorrow's game since there's 81 games left in the season.
Clutterbuck is still a few weeks away from returning, but this is a positive sign for the Islanders.
Gryba will play with Chris Phillips on the Senators blueline. Gryba had two goals and four assists in 33 games with the Sens last season.
Hamonic's concussion results were never made public, but participating in practice this morning likely means he will be in the lineup tonight.
MacDonald went 8-9-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .902 SV% as a part-time starter / backup for the Flames last season. With a back-to-back yesterday and today, MacDonald will get his first start of the season tonight. The way the Flames defense looked last night, it would be hard to trust Joey Mac
Mark Fraser's LTIR designation opened up a roster spot for Devane. He is not fantasy relevant.
Rielly will make his debut with Jake Gardiner as his D-partner. That is a high-powered, offensive duo that should be able to produce for the Leafs. If Rielly can get off to a hot-start with Fraser on IR, he could stick with the team.
Fraser (knee) is required to miss the Maple Leafs next 10 games/24 days.
Miller played great in the season opener stopping 32 of 34 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Red Wings. He will go again tonight in the Sabres home opener vs. Craig Anderson and the Ottawa Senators.
