Quick was yanked after only 6 minutes in his last outing vs. the Ducks. He gave up 2 goals on 3 shots. However when Jonathan Bernier struggled as well giving up 4 goals on 21 shots. Quick is the unquestioned #1 goalie in LA and will get almost every start. He is a shocking 2-2-2 with a 2.74 GAA and .897 SV%, but is still a must-start, especially vs. the Blue Jackets.
Fleury wasn't busy in his last start against the Devils only making 15 saves on 16 shots. He has been alternating starts with Vokoun this season and has actually been outplayed by the veteran Vokoun. Fleury goes up against the Islanders who he allowed 4 goals on 17 shots on January 29.
Kiprusoff is 1-3-2 with a 3.42 GAA and .859 SV% this season. The Flames are dead last in the NHL with 4 points and need to pick it up if they want to make the playoffs in this shortened season. Kipper and the Flames dominated the Hawks in their last outing but still took a shootout loss after letting Marian Hossa tie the game with 3 seconds left.
Reimer made 5 straight starts since Scrivens was pulled against the Islanders (Jan. 24). Reimer started last night against the Canes, so it was expected that Scrivens would get the start tonight. He needs to get back on track tonight vs. a struggling Capitals team.
Gonchar missed Sunday's game with an illness is expected to be back tonight. He has 1 G and 3 A in 7 games this year and is palying close to 24 minutes a game, so he is going to get his chances to produce.
The young sniper hasn't played since January 23 with an ankle jersey looks to return this weekend or early next week. Monitor his status prior to Sunday's contest.
Nikitin who was placed on IR with an unspecified injury was back on the ice today. It is unclear when he will return to action but he is getting closer.
Bolland injured his leg last Friday against the Canucks, and missed the Hawks last contest. However he skated yesterday and expected to be in the lineup tonight.
Nabokov has played better than his numbers would indicate, his D in front of him isn't the strongest so he is bound to see a lot of shots. However he still has 4 wins in 7 starts and will look to add to that tonight. It won't be easy though as the Islanders take on the Penguins.
Bryzgalov is 3-5-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 SV% are his best numbers he's had since joining the Flyers. He is good fantasy option however because he starts almost every game and should start to pick up wins. However he has a tough matchup tonight against the high-scoring Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Capitals goal crease is in shambles right now. Neither starter is playing well and it's a guessing game at who is going to start each game. Neuvirth gets the call tonight and will take on Toronto. In his last start he faced Toronto as well, where he stopped 37 of 40 shots he faced in a 3-2 loss.
Mason got his first win in his last start where he played very well vs. the Red Wings. It looks like the Blue Jackets coaching staff is rewarding his good performance with another start. However he has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Kings.
Varlamov is 3-4-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .919 SV% so far this season. The Avs are banged up at forward and are having a hard time finding the back of the net. The Avs and Stars are very similar teams so it's a good matchup both ways.
Ward has had a terrible start to the season. Ward only has 1 win on the season with a 4.04 GAA and .867 SV%. He played well against the Flyers after Dan Ellis was pulled. Ward has a good matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs but he might need to earn some trust back before you play him
Crawford has been stellar so far this season (5-0-2, 1.66 GAA, .934 SV%). He will have a difficult matchup going up against the NHL's best team, the San Jose Sharks. It would be tough to bench Crawford at this point but it might be a good idea vs. the Sharks.
Roy missed the Stars last 5 games but will return tonight. Roy picked 2 assists in his first 4 games as a Star. He will play alongside Loui Eriksson and Tomas Vincour. The Stars need Roy and his line mates to produce as they have struggled to score on a consistent basis.
Anderson saved 30 of 32 shots he faced yesterday against the Habs in a losing effort. Anderson's great season continues though as he has a 1.12 GAA and .964 SV%, and has a fairly good matchup tomorrow against the Sabres, as long as they can stop Vanek.
Brodeur has lost his last 3 starts giving up a combined 14 goals in those 3 contests. Brodeur's hot start to the season has really slowed down. Brodeur is still a solid #2 fantasy goalie option. He has a tough matchup tomorrow against the Rangers.
Fowler was hit hard in the Ducks last contest. He is a great offensive defenceman and this is a big blow to the Ducks. According to Bourdreau Fowler shouldn't be out long which is a positive.
Greiss had a shutout in his first start this season. He doesn't have very much fantasy value due to the limited amount of starts he is expected to get. However the way the Sharks have been playing he could be worth a spot start tonight.
