Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in a 3-2 win over the Red Wings on Saturday. John Gibson was lit up in his first start, so the Ducks will go to Andersen for two straight games. He is a must-start against Sabres this afternoon.
Berglund missed Saturday's game because he was banged up from a slash on Friday. The injury was not believed to be serious and should not keep him out vs. the Kings. He was reunited with T.J Oshie and David Backes on the Blues top line.
Coburn was reportedly on crutches on Monday, but the Flyers called Coburn day-to-day. Coburn has missed the last two games and will likely miss at least a few more games.
The Ducks are optimistic that Heatley will be returning to the lineup for Anaheim’s October 26 contest at Honda Center against the San Jose Sharks. Heatley suffered a groin injury in a preseason game vs. Los Angeles on September 28.
Head coach Lindy Ruff said he is considering shaking up the lines for Tuesday's game, including putting Eakin on that top line. Seguin and Benn have no points and are a combined minus-6 so far. If Eakin gets moved up that should certainly help him produce and makes him a nice one-day fantasy league option.
The Sabres said that Foligno is "banged up" so he will sit out this afternoon with Brian Flynn getting in the lineup. Consier Foligno day-to-day.
Neuvirth will make his season debut tonight after Jhonas Enroth got the first two starts of the season. Neuvirth was 4-8-2 with a 2.78 GAA and .921 SV% last season, but should not be considered this after noon with the Ducks in town.
Varlamov allowed two goals on 33 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Wild on Saturday. Overall he allowed seven goals on 71 shots (.901 SV%) in the home-and-home series while the Avalanche scored zero goals. On Tuesday, he takes on a Leafs team coming off of a big win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Dwyer joins and already crowded injury report in Carolina. He will not play vs. the Sabres and either with Eric Staal (upper-body), Jeff Skinner (concussion) or Jordan Staal (leg). Dwyer has no points and a minus-1 rating in two games this season.
This will be Svedberg's first start of the season and the second NHL game of his career. The 25-year-old netminder was 25-15-4 with a 2.63 GAA and .910 SV% with the Providence Bruins (AHL) last season. He will start against an Avalanche team still searching for their first goal of the season.
Skinner has not played this season, but the Hurricanes expect him to be on the ice with the team on Tuesday and possibly make his season debut on Thursday. Eric Staal was injured over the weekend, so getting Skinner back in the lineup will be huge for the Hurricanes.
This is a terrible break for the Hurricanes who will be without both Staal brothers and Jeff Skinner tomorrow. There is no word on how long Staal will be out, but the Hurricanes are certainly hoping it is not a lengthy absence.
Emelin sat out of Saturday's game and will miss tonight's as well. Expect Andrei Markov to skate with P.K Subban again. Consider Emelin day-to-day.
Price allowed three goals on 32 shots for his second straight win on Saturday. He is sitting at 2-0 despite a pedestrian 2.91 GAA and .898 SV% through two starts. He will look to stay undefeated tonight when he takes on the Lightning. Price was 1-1-2 with a sensational 1.42 GAA and .956 SV% vs. Tampa Bay last year.
Krejci missed the first three games of the regular season but has been medically cleared and will be in the lineup today vs. the Avalanche. Krejci will make his season debut on a line with Milan Lucic and rookie Seth Griffith. Get the Bruins playmaking centre in your lineup.
Berra stopped all 10 shots that he faced in the third period of opening night after replacing Semyon Varlamov. The Avalanche have yet to score a goal through two games and things will not get any easier this afternoon in Boston.
Anderson allowed three goals on 37 shots in Ottawa's 3-2 loss to the Predators on opening night. He sat against the Lightning, but gets back in goal with a nice matchup today vs. Florida. The Panthers have struggled to keep the puck out of the net in the early part of the season, so Anderson has a good chance to chalk up his first W of the year.
According to the Lightning coach, Drouin has one last check-up before he is cleared to make his NHL debut. The Lightning play tomorrow as well, so it sounds like he could be cleared to play on Tuesday. There is still no word on who Drouin will play with when he gets into the lineup.
Reimer was removed from Sunday's game as a precaution following a collision with Dominic Moore and his presence at practice this morning proves it was simply a protocol and that he is fine.
Staal left Saturday's game following a hard collision. The Hurricanes are already without his brother Jordan and Jeff Skinner, so if Eric is to miss anytime, Carolina will be in much bigger trouble than they already are. The Hurricanes practiced with Victor Rask and Riley Nash as their top-2 centres today. Expect an update on Staal following the morning skate.
