NHL Hockey Player News

Zetterberg was a late scratch before yesterday's game with a groin injury that will keep him out of tonight's game as well. He has eight goals and 24 assists in 34 games this season.

Quincey will miss his eighth straight game tonight. Monitor his status prior to Thursday's game.

Wathier has three goals and 15 assists in 52 games in the AHL this season.

Lundqvist's 2.05 GAA and .926 SV% in March did not translate into his record (6-6-1) because of the lack of scoring in New York. Hopefully the Rangers figure out how skilled they are a start scoring so Lundqvist can record some more wins. He starts April with a solid matchup vs. a Jets team who have lost four out of six.

Lee just finished up his junior year at the University of Notre Dame. He had 20 goals and 18 assists in 41 games this season. He totaled 61 goals and 55 assists (116 points) in 125 games at Notre Dame. It is unlikely that he will play for the Isles tonight, but tomorrow is a possibility.

Smid is in his seventh season in the NHL, all of which have been spent in Edmonton. He has 10 goals and 52 assists in 443 games. He is a solid stay at home defenseman who is much more valuable to the Oilers than he is to your fantasy team.

Brodeur will get his sixth straight start since returning from a back injury. He is 2-0-3 with a 2.12 GAA and .895 SV%. He has a solid matchup vs. the Islanders tonight.

Bourque has been out for over a month with a concussion. He was close to returning recently but suffered a setback. If he stays on with the team today it would indicate he is nearing a return. However he is still day-to-day at this point. He had five goals and five assists in 17 games prior to getting hurt.

Zubrus (wrist) has only appeared in nine games this season. He has been out for over a month and this is the first time he has skated with the team since getting hurt. Zubrus would help the Devils because of Ilya Kovalchuk's injury but he is not a good fantasy option.

Talbot left yesterday's game vs. Washington and did not return. The injury was originally called lower-body and day-to-day but after further evaluation he will be out for the rest of the season with a broken leg.

Khudobin is 1-1-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .904 SV% in two starts vs. Sabres this season.

A late confirm means it'll be tough to get MIller into your lineup, but he has a tough matchup anyways against the B's. On the season MIller is 11-14-5 with a .911% and 0 shutouts, well below his usual numbers.

Bernier is 7-2-0 with a 1.94 goals against average and .923 save percentage, hasn’t started a game since stopping 40 of 42 shots against Phoenix on March 19, and is yet to face a Dallas team that is 2-0-0 against the Kings.

Hiller allowed one goal on 25 shots in a 2-1 win over Chicago on Friday. He has a good matchup tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.

Samuelsson is not fantasy relevant because he can't stay healthy. This was his first game back and he is already back on the shelf it looks like.

Colaiacovo will likely dress in just his third game as a Red Wing tomorrow vs. Colorado. He has not played since the second game of the season because of a shoulder injury. When he is healthy he usually produces on a fairly consistent basis, however staying healthy has been a big issue for him throughout the years.

DeKeyser will most likely be in the lineup on Thursday in Phoenix if he does not play tomorrow.

Lashoff is being sent down to clear roster space for Danny DeKeyser. It was likely going to be Gustav Nyquist but with the injury to Henrik Zetterberg, Nyquist will need to be in the lineup tomorrow.

Zetterberg was a late scratch for today's game with Chicago. Zetterberg tweaked his groin in warmups and will likely miss tomorrow's game with the Avalanche.

Howard was lit up this afternoon by the Blackhwaks. Chicago banged in three goals on their first three shots on their way to a 7-1 win. Howard was yanked in the second period after giving up five goals. He will start tomorrow against an Avalanche team who have won just once in their last five games.
