NHL Hockey Player News

Michalek hasn't played since February 12. He has two goals and six assists in 13 games this season. He should play a big role for the Senators with all the key injuries they have.

Pasquale didn't get a start while Montoya was injured.

Melchiori isn't expected to be fantasy relevant.

He isn't expected to be fantasy relevant.

Rynnas isn't fantasy relevant.

Lehtonen says he is ready to go tomorrow so it is likely that he will get the start. However we will wait until tomorrow to confirm him. It would be Lehtonen's first start since February 15.

Bolland has missed the Blackhawks last two games and will miss tomorrow as well.

Halak has allowed one goal on 20 shots in each of his last two games since coming back from injury. One of those games resulted in a win and the other a loss when the Blues were shutout by Colorado. Halak has a tough matchup tomorrow vs. a Blackhawks team that still hasn't lost in regulation, but it has to come to an end sometime... Maybe it'll be Halak who will get the job done.

Garon's 2.63 GAA and .916 SV% aren't bad numbers but he isn't winning games. The Lightning are the highest scoring team in the NHL but Garon isn't getting the goal support Lindback was. Who knows what his matchup is like? It seems like it would be tough to go up against the Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist, but Winnipeg just beat them so Tampa Bay should be able to right?

Crawford recorded a shutout in his first game back from injury so it is safe to say that he has recovered fully. He has a tough matchup tomorrow vs. St. Louis, but is there really such thing as a tough matchup for Chicago at this point? Roll Crawford with confidence.

Fasth finally lost his first game of the season after starting 8-0-0. He gave up four goals on 24 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Kings. He has already faced Nashville on two ocasions this season and won both in a shootout. He will likely face Pekka Rinne so he will have to play well if he is going to earn the win.

Bernier has won all of his last three starts while posting a 1.80 GAA and .916 SV%. However the Red Wings proved your prior GAA means nothing when they lit up Luongo for eight goals on Sunday. Luongo came into that game with the lowest GAA in the NHL. The Kings are on a roll right now having won four straight. Bernier could make for a nice spot start should the Kings hold the Red Wings offense to a minimum.

Price stopped 40 of 41 shots that he's faced in his last two starts. He has a solid matchup tonight against Toronto, one of Montreal's biggest rivals. When these two teams get together anything can happen, but Price has earned the trust of fantasy owners and is a must-start regardless of matchup.

Steen and Andy McDonald went down in practice yesterday. McDonald was placed on IR with a left knee injury but Steen is only day-to-day. Monitor his status before tomorrow's game.

McDonald got tangled up with Alex Steen in practice yesterday and left the ice without putting any weight on his left leg. He has been placed on IR today with no timetable for his return.

The Oilers placed Khabibulin on IR today so Danis will be Dubnyk's backup.

Salo has one goal, seven assists and is a plus-11 in 19 games this season. Consider him day-to-day and monitor his status prior to tomorrow's game vs. the Rangers.

Holtby will get the start with Neuvirth out. Neuvirth hasn't started since February 5.

Mashinter only averaged 5:55 a game and recorded zero points and was a minus-2.

There is no timetable for McDonagh's return but the fact that he is skating is a positive sign. Monitor is status prior to tomorrow's game vs. Tampa Bay.
