Pekka Rinne has played extremely well lately but Mason will start today. This will be Mason's third start of the season, he is 1-0-1 with a 1.45 GAA and .952 SV%. He could be worth a spot start today when the Predators take on an Avalanche team that has won only once in their last five games.

Subban was sick for the last few days but he will be in the lineup tonight when the Habs take on Carolina. Subban has played well since returning from his contract holdout. He has registered 3 G and 3 A in his first 8 games.

Versteeg hasn't played since February 12 and won't be in the lineup tonight when the Panthers take on the Maple Leafs. He has struggled this season with only 1 G, 2 A and a -7 in 7 games this season. He posted up 23 G and 31 A in 71 games last season so he could be a good pickup when he returns from injury if he can find his scoring touch again.

Theodore has given up 12 goals in his last three starts, all of which resulted in losses. Theodore's 3.41 GAA and .892 SV% has hurt the Panthers this season, and has certainly hurt his fantasy value. He has a fairly good matchup tonight against Toronto.
Varlamov got peppered by the Oilers in his last outing giving up 5 goals on 55 shots. He still posted a .909 SV% but giving up 55 shots is not going to get the job done. Varlamov has a decent matchup today vs. Nashville especially since Pekka Rinne will be on the bench and Chris Mason will start.

Budaj won his first game of the season on Saturday vs. the Flyers. With Price out with the flu Budaj will get the start again tonight vs. the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes have won 3 straight heading into tonight so the matchup is not the best for Budaj.

Pavelec is Winnipeg's unquestioned #1 goalie. And he needs to pick his play up if they are going to be successful. He has 1 win in his last 3 starts with a 2.38 GAA and .893 SV%. His 3.15 GAA on the season isn't cutting it and has really hurt his fantasy value. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Bruins.

After Khudobin get the last start vs. Buffalo and allowed 4 goals on 26 shots in a losing effort Boston will go back with Rask. Rask has 2 wins in his last three starts posting a 1.31 GAA and .944 SV%. He is one of the best fantasy options there is and is a must-start

The Flames are still without Kiprusoff who is expected to miss another week at least. Joey MacDonald appears to be Calgary's #1 for the time-being.

Collins isn't expected to be fantasy relevant.

Samuelsson has only played in 2 games this year. He will be back in the lineup tonight for the Red Wings. He is not a great fantasy option but with all the Wings injuries he could get some extra chances to shine.
Nash will take warmups and then decide wether or not he will play or not. He missed practice yesterday because of an illness.

Pavelec is Winnipeg's unquestioned #1 goalie. And he needs to pick his play up if they are going to be successful. He has 1 win in his last 3 starts with a 2.38 GAA and .893 SV%. His 3.15 GAA on the season isn't cutting it and has really hurt his fantasy value. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Bruins.

After Khudobin get the last start vs. Buffalo and allowed 4 goals on 26 shots in a losing effort there should be no question that Boston will go back with Rask. Rask has 2 wins in his last three starts posting a 1.31 GAA and .944 SV%. He is one of the best fantasy options there is and is a must-start.

Bishop has played in 2 games this season and has yet to record a win. In his two starts he has a 3.03 GAA and .910 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. the Devils.

Brodeur has won 4 of his last 5 and hasn't allowed more than 3 goals in that span after giving up back-to-back 5 goal games. Brodeur has a good matchup vs. a banged up Senators team.

Enstrom won't be in the lineup when the Jets host the Boston Bruins on Sunday night at MTS Centre. “He has a shoulder issue that will put him out for a little while,” head coach Claude Noel said. Monitor his status going forward to find out how serious his injury is.

Halak hasn't played since getting injured on the 1st of February. He could start in the Blues next game on Tuesday vs. the Sharks.

After Johnathan Bernier started the last two games for the Kings, Quick is back between the pipes tonight. Quick has struggled this year after offseason back surgery. In his last 4 starts he has only won once while posting a 3.23 GAA and .853 SV%.

This is a tough break for Gallagher who has had a great start to his NHL career. He has 5 G and 3 A with a +7 in his first 13 games. Concussion's are tricky so there is no timetable for his return.
