Samuelsson was playing in his first game in over a month and was injured again. He has had a hard time staying healthy this season. The Red Wings were getting spanked so maybe they just kept him out as a precaution.
This could keep Crosby out for the remainder of the regular season. With them virtually locked into a playoff spot there would be no reason for them to rush their captain back. A timetable for his return has not yet been released.
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.
Newbury had one assist in four games during his call-up.
Mueller has two goals and one assist in six games with the Predators this season.
This is good news for Leopold's fantasy value. Shattenkirk is 15th in the NHL in terms of defenseman scoring with 20 points while Pietrangelo is 17th with 19. Leopold should be much more valuable in St. Louis than he was in Buffalo.
Crosby took a puck to the mouth in his first shift of yesterday's game. A more detailed evaluation will likely be released tomorrow. Monitor his status.
Sweatt has 12 goals and 17 assists in 56 games in the AHL this season.
Jensen was the 29th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He had 17 goals and six assists in 50 goals as a member of AIK in the Swedish Elite League. He has two goals and two assists in 11 games in the AHL since coming to North America.
Gordon recorded zero points in six games with the Canucks.
Kassian has missed eight of the last nine games with a back injury. He has not been fantasy worthy since being taken off the Sedin's line early in the season.
Tennyson has five goals and 22 assists in 60 games in the AHL this season.
Oshie will not play tomorrow because of a lower-body injury. He has until Thursday to get healthy for the Blues contest with the Blackhawks.
I’m leaning 55-45% in favor of Jonathan Bernier starting on the second night of a back-to-back, but travel and back-to-back games are not firm precedents that determine starting goaltenders in Darryl Sutter’s considerations. 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.
This is not much of an indication of the Bruins starter. It sounds like we are going to have to wait for warm ups. Rask played yesterday so it could very well be Khudobin tonight. If it his Khudobin, he is 1-1-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .904 SV% in two starts vs. Sabres this season.
Zetterberg was a late scratch for today's game. Monitor his status tomorrow.
Howard allowed two goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to San Jose. He has a tough matchup today vs. the Blackhawks. He is 0-0-2 with a 1.41 GAA and .950 SV% vs. Chicago this season.
Kaberle is no longer fantasy relevant.
Grubauer is only being called up because Neuvirth is sick. He won't play, unless Holtby struggles.
Holtby allowed three goals on 23 shots in a 4-3 win over the Sabres yesterday. He will start on back-to-back days today vs. the Flyers. Ilya Bryzgalov played very well yesterday so Holtby should be ready to be on his A-game.
