Huberdeau has not played since March 16th because of a concussion. If he is unable to go against the Stars, look for him to return on Tuesday against the Flyers.
McLeod's injury is not serious and he is listed as day-to-day. Ryan Wilson will play forward in his place.
Ebbett has one assist in seven games with the Penguins this season. While with the Baby Penguins, Ebbett has totalled 37 points (12G / 25A) in 40 games. He will be in the lineup tonight with Jussi Jokinen sidelined.
Lack allowed three goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. He has dropped his last three starts with a 3.67 GAA and .863 SV%. He has still started every game since the Olympic break, it does not look like Jacob Markstrom is going to get a start this season.
Niemi stopped 26 of 27 shots in a win over the Kings on Thursday. It was his 38th win of the season which is second highest in the NHL. He also sits 14th in GAA (2.36) and 26th in SV% (.913). While it has been a good season for Niemi, he sits just outside of the Vezina Trophy conversation. Get him in your lineup tonight vs. the Preds.
Chris Porter will enter the lineup as Roy gets some rest this afternoon vs. the Avalanche.
Jokinen was injured in Thursday's win over the Jets. He had one assist in 13:46 before leaving the game. The Penguins have said that the injury is not serious, so consider him day-to-day.
Kane was one of the last players off of the ice at the Jets' morning skate which suggests that he will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Kane has two goals and five assists in his last 10 games. This could be fallout from the assault accusations that were slapped on him during the week.
Clemmensen allowed four goals on 40 shots in his only start during his recall. He was sent back after Roberto Luongo returned to the crease on Friday. Tuesday's start was likely his last as a Florida Panther.
Zatkoff gave up three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Kings on March 27th. In a battle of the backups, he was outduelled by former AHL teammate Martin Jones. Tonight, he will take on Ilya Bryzgalov and the Wild. Given his play this season and the quality of squad he plays for, he is always considered a strong spot-start candidate.
Lupul has been upgraded from doubtful to a game-time decision. He was not in the lineup on Thursday, but may play vs. the Jets tonight. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.
Sustr, 23, has seven assists in 38 games with the Lightning this season. After he was sent down Sustr picked up one goal and two assists in 12 games with Syracuse (AHL).
This comes as no surprise, we likely won't see McDonagh play until the last game or two of the regular season. John Moore will stay in the lineup while McDonagh is out.
Soderberg missed Thursday's game because of the birth of his daughter, but he will be back in this afternoon vs. the Flyers .
Iginla missed Wednesday's game with a lower-body injury, but played over 20 minutes on Thursday. His lower-body injury must have flared up, because it does not look like he will play this afternoon vs. the Flyers.
Downie was expected to be back in the Flyers lineup this afternoon, but he will miss his seventh straight game. That means Tye McGinn will stay in the lineup today vs. the Bruins.
Rask allowed three goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Red Wings on Wednesday. The Bruins were unable to put the Wings away and a couple of late goals stole two points for Detroit. He sat the next night, but will be back in the cage this afternoon vs. Philly. He is 2-0-0 with a 1.92 GAA and .949 SV% vs. the Flyers this season.
Bryzgalov was tagged with two goals on 26 shots in a shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Thursday. With Darcy Kuemper still sidelined with an upper-body injury, Bryz will start his fourth game in a row tonight vs. Pittsburgh. He has won three of his last four starts with a 2.25 GAA and .892 SV%.
Lehtonen was pulled after he allowed three goals on 16 shots in Thursday's loss to the Hurricanes. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Lehtonen. He has won five of his last seven games with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV%. He draws a fairly difficult matchup tonight vs. Tampa Bay.
Pavelec surrendered four goals on 21 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday. He has registered a 3.83 GAA and .873 SV% in his last four starts (one win). he will face the Leafs tonight. A team he is 1-0 against this season, despite allowing four goals on 28 shots back in January.
