Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker reassigned for Stephane Veilleux and Jake Dowell
Zucker had no points and was a minus-2 in five games during his most recent call-up.
Goalie Start
Vokoun in goal.
Vokoun allowed just two goals on 40 shots in a winning on Saturday. He will get his second straight start tonight when the Penguins take on the Senators. He is 8-1-0 on the road this season versus 4-3-0 at home, so he could make for a good spot start tonight. However the Sens are a team desperate for a win, so don't expect them to just roll over.

Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker reassigned for Stephane Veilleux and Jake Dowell
Granlund recorded just one goal and one assist with a minus-2 in his last eight games. Minnesota is limping into the playoffs right now, so they are looking for a spark.
Goalie Start
Howard will start for the Red Wings
The Red Wings will make no lineup changes other than Patrick Eaves going in for the injured Drew Miller which means Howard will be back in goal. With Detroit's 21 season streak of making the playoffs in jeopardy they are going to turn to Howard in a crucial game. He is 0-1-0 vs. Phoenix this season.
Letang out tonight vs. Senators.
Letang missed Sunday's practice and was not on the ice again this morning because of an illness. The Penguins have locked up the Eastern Conference so there is no need for their star players to be playing if they aren't at 100%.
Karlsson will not play tonight.
Although Karlsson has started practicing and appears to be nearing a return, he will not play tonight. He might not play in the regular season but his status is worth keeping an eye on.
Goalie Start
Anderson starts for the Sens.
Anderson gave up four goals on 22 shots in a loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Penguins, take a look at your other options.
Goalie Start
It's going to be Enroth in goal for #sabres.
Enroth gave up four goals on 15 shots after entering the game for Ryan Miller who allowed four goals on 14 shots. Enroth has won each of his last two starts and has a solid matchup tonight vs. the Jets, but is not a great option in the last week of fantasy hockey.
Karlsson out there for #Sens morning skate again.
Karlsson is practicing again this morning. He looks like he is ready to return to the Senators lineup soon, which is nothing short of miraculous. If he is available in your league, pick him up. We'll have to wait and see if he will be in the lineup tonight when the Sens take on the Penguins. Monitor his status later in the day.

Goalie Start
Dan Ellis leads the Canes onto the ice and pregame warmups are under way.
He is the starter.
Defenseman Erik Gudbranson missed his second straight game after hurting his hand/wrist in the final minute of Thursday's loss to the Rangers, but could return Tuesday.
"He skated today, will skate [Monday] and I'm hoping he'll be ready Tuesday,'' Dineen said.
Bogosian did not join the Jets on the trip to Buffalo. He is listed as day to day.
Bogosian took a hit to the head from the Islanders Kyle Okposo on Saturday.
Jokinen suffered a high ankle sprain Saturday in the loss against the Islanders and is expected to be out 6-8 weeks.
Jokinen's fantasy season is over. You can drop him if you own him.
Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said Dmitry Kulikov is likely done for the season after sustaining an upper body injury Sunday against the Bruins.
Kulikov fell awkwardly after getting tangled up with Jaromir Jagr, was helped off the ice and did not return.
Goalie Start
No surprise here as Bobrovsky is the expected starter Sunday against the Sharks.
Bobrovsky has given up 2 goals or less in 8 of his last 10 starts.

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.
