With Roberto Luongo getting the loss on Sunday in Calgary, Cory Schneider will likely get back between the pipes for the Canucks. Schneider was on record for the loss in San Jose back on January 27 allowing four goals on 27 shots although he was probably one of Vancouver's better performers that night.
NIemi stopped 18 of 19 shots that he faced in a 2-1 win over Nashville on Saturday. He will likely be back between the pipes tonight when San Jose faces Vancouver. It is a tough matchup on paper for Niemi but the Canucks have lost three of their last four games. Niemi still has outstanding numbers (1.83 GAA and .934 SV%) so he remains a great fantasy option.
This move likely means that Brad Richards will be out of the lineup tonight. Haley has 21 points in 56 games in the AHL this season.
Frolik has been playing in the Hawks bottom 6.
He has 8 points in 13 games this season.
Boychuk has bounced around this season from Carolina to the Penguins, and now to Nashville. He should get a decent opportunity in Nashville.
Markstrom will get the nod tonight for the Panthers and if he plays well will likely become the Panthers #1 with Jose Theodore out. He has a good chance to play well because the Jets aren't a great team but that being said, they have played well as of late. If Markstrom is available in your league he could make for a good start and could be worth keeping on your roster.
Bolland returns to the lineups tonight against the Wild. Previous to his upper body injury he was centering Sharp and Kane, making him a decent option for the remainder of the season in deeper fantasy leagues.
Pavelec has been great lately winning five of his last seven starts and drastically improving his numbers. He posted a 2.44 GAA and .915 SV% over that seven game span moving his GAA under 3.00 (2.87) and SV% right to the .900 line. He has a good chance to get back in the win column tonight vs. Florida.
Get him back in your lineup
Miller has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.16 GAA and .932 SV%. He has a fairly tough matchup tonight against a skilled Hurricanes team, however Justin Peters will be in net for the Hurricanes so the Sabres have the upper-hand in goal.
Bryzgalov has won his last two starts while posting a 1.00 GAA and .966 SV%. He has been solid this season, he is 11-9-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .907 SV%. He has a tough matchup tonight against the Rangers, he will need to outplay Henrik Lundqvist if he is going to record the win.
Vanek is expected to return tonight. Check back closer to game-time to confirm
Crawford and the Blackhawks will look to keep their amazing streak of recording a point in 22 games alive tonight when they play the Minnesota Wild. You can't bench a guy who 10-0-3 with a 1.41 GAA and .945 SV% but the Wild have won three of their last four and have the talent to give Chicago a run.
Rask finally had his winning streak snapped at five when he was on the losing end of a 4-3 game vs. the Habs. He will look to start a new winning streak tonight when the Bruins face the Capitals. He is a must-start in all formats.
Mason has lost each of his last three starts allowing nine goals on 96 shots (.906 SV%). He has a solid matchup tonight vs. an Oilers team that sits 14th in the Western Conference. However Mason hasn't been a good fantasy option this season and with all the injuries Columbus is dealing with he likely won't be.
The Blue Jackets best defenceman Jack Johnson has missed the last four games with a shoulder injury but will be back in the lineup tonight. Johnson has one goal and seven assists in 18 games this season. He is a good fantasy option if you have other players to counter his minus-10.
Nikitin took a hard spill into the boards on Sunday against the Avalanche. Nikitin left the game and did not return, the Blue Jackets were hoping to have him back today but that won't be the case. He could be back for Columbus' next game on Thursday.
Weiss will not play another game this season, he is not longer fantasy relevant.
Wellwood has 12 points in 43 games in the AHL this season and has 10 points in his 31 career NHL games. He isn't expected to play a prominent role in the Flyers offense.
