Bishop returns to the Sens after being traded just 5 days ago. In his 3 games with the Bolts, Bishop is 1-2 with a 2.02 GAA and .945 SV% with 1 shutout.
This gives Hartnell a serious boost with hopes he will break out of his slump - 2 points in his last 10 games.
Since the trade deadline secured his place as the Jackets' #1 goalie of the near future, Bob has dropped 2 of his last 3 with sub-.900 save percentages.
Before dropping Sunday's game to Dallas, Niemi was riding a 7 game win streak. Look for Sunday's game to be more of an aberration as the Blue Jackets do not feature a lot of scoring pop.
Erixon has very little fantasy relevance.
Given that he's missed most of this season, Murray is expected to need another year of seasoning before cracking the 2013-14 CBJ roster.
Chaput expects to slot into Johansen's third line role.
Johansen projects to be a big part of Columbus' future but for now he's been relegated to third line duty.
Stastny has been a below average fantasy center for most of the season and with the current state of the Avs, shouldn't be counted on unless you are in a deep league.
Brunner has been nagged by this sore hip for a few weeks now and it has severely impacted his play. We expect him to return to a top 6 role but it may not be enough to jolt his performance.
Don't worry, Briere won't be playing D. The Center looks to come back this weekend at a crucial time for the Flyers. While he's struggled this season, there's a chance his injuries are behind him and he could help you in your playoffs.
Varlamov was the scheduled starter, but was a late scratch so J.S. Giguere will start.
With Varly out, the Avs will start Giguere. This was a very late scratch for those of you depending on Varlamov.
Hamilton will be a healthy scratch tonight after playing in seven straight games.
Appears as if Jake Gardiner will be a healthy scratch after just one game back in the lineup.
Peters stopped all eight shots he faced in a relief effort on Saturday. He will be in net tonight against a tough Bruins team. The Hurricanes have struggled mightily as of late and will be without Alex Semin. I would look elsewhere.
Reimer allowed one goal on 28 shots in Saturday's win over the Devils. He will face the Rangers for his second time this season. He is 0-1-0 with a 4.10 GAA and .902 SV% vs. New York. The Rangers have been playing a lot better since shuffling the team around at the deadline, so be careful with this matchup.
Timmins recorded no points and was a minus-1 in two games during this most recent call-up.
Penner, 30, has missed the last four games after suffering a lower body injury March 31 at Dallas. The 6-5, 245 pound forward has played 25 games with the Kings this season, recording 11 points (2G - 9A) and 14 penalty minutes. The Kings return to action tomorrow in Dallas
