Lehtonen allowed three goals on 41 shots in a loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday. He has closed the door on 96 of 101 (.950 SV%) shots he has faced in his last three starts. Lehtonen is rolling right now and draws a solid matchup tonight vs. the Predators. Nashville does not score a ton, but they put up six on the Sabres last night.
Luongo was absolutely run over by Radek Dvorak, who was given a five-minute charging call on the play. Luonogo finished the first period, but did not come back out for the second. With the Panthers way out of the playoff picture, they will play it safe with their star goaltender. Scott Clemmensen will be recalled and Dan Ellis will likely start tomorrow.
Bernier allowed four goals on 48 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Blues on Tuesday. It was his first game back from a groin strain, but it doesn't look like James Reimer was the issue as the Leafs are not doing their goalies any favours right now. He will look for a better outing tonight in Philly as the Maple Leafs look to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Anderson missed the last seven games with and undisclosed injury, but will be back in goal for the Sens tonight vs. the Blackhawks. In five starts after the Olympic break before he was injured, Anderson went 2-2-1 with a 3.17 GAA and .910 SV%. With Chicago in town, it won't be an easy return.
Lecavalier has struggled in five-on-five situations at times this year. He has 15 goals and 15 assists (30 points), seven of those goals and 11 of the 30 points have come on the power-play. Lecavalier has one goal and three assists in his last 10 games, which looks like it is going to force head coach Craig Berube to drop him between Adam Hall and Zac Rinaldo.
Bobrovsky departed Tuesday's game after the first period but did not skate this morning and will sit tonight while Curtis McElhinney gets the start. Bob skated after his teammates, so consider him day-to-day.
Mason gave up three goals on 29 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. It was a key game for the Flyers, but they were unable to get the W. Mason had been on a four-game winning streak but now sits at 7-2-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .916 SV% in March. Tonight, it looks like he will face the Maple Leafs in another huge matchup. Mason has gone 0-1-1 vs. Toronto this season.
McElhinney stopped 22 of 23 shots after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings. Bobrovsky is battling with an illness, thus McElhinney gets the call tonight vs. the Penguins. He made a number of key saves vs. the Red Wings and played very well while Bob was injured earlier in the season. The Pens have struggled without Evegni Malkin (0-2) and have dropped six of their last eight.
Plekanec was one of the Habs best players in last night's 5-4 win over the Red Wings. He scored a pair of goals in the first period, but now may not be available for Saturday's contest in Florida.
Hurricanes forward Radek Dvorak crashed into Luongo at 12:48 of the first, driving him into the back of the net and knocking the goal off its moorings. Dvorak was given a major penalty for charging and was ejected. Luongo finished the period, in which he stopped 11 of 12 shots.
Couture was listed as a game-time decision after suffering a foot injury on Monday. Following Monday's game head coach Todd McLellan said that Couture was "fine" so it looks like Couture will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Jets.
Lack stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Wild last night. The Canucks continue to lean heavily on Lack, as he has started every game since the Olympic break. He has won his last three outings with only four goals allowed on 80 shots (.950 SV%). He draws a tough matchup tonight in Colorado.
Okposo has been battling a lower-body injury, but it has not cost him any games until tonight. He will be out of the lineup tonight which makes an already shorthanded Isles team even more shorthanded.
The Devils were set to go with seven defensemen, but with Salvador out, Eric Gelinas will move back to the blueline. Consider Salvador day-to-day.
It will be a battle of former Manchester Monarchs (AHL) goalies and teammates tonight with Jones going head-to-head with Jeff Zatkoff. Jones allowed two goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Ducks on March 15th. He sits at 10-5-0 with a 1.90 GAA and .932 SV% on the season, but it is never easy to face Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh.
Bennett had one assist in three games with the 'Baby Penguins' but he reportedly played very well despite the small statistical numbers. Bennett has not played since November 22 because of a wrist injury. He has one goal and two assists in 12 games with Pittsburgh this season.
Mitchell has only appeared in five games since being acquired from Minnesota as Cody McCormick's replacement. He could be done for the rest of the season.
Myers, who just returned from an elbow injury, is now sidelined with a different upper-body ailment now. Rasmus Ristolainen is up from Rochester and will play tonight, but it does not sound like Myers will be out long-term.
Bogosian, who was injured on Saturday, missed Monday's game and it looks like he will not be available again tonight in San Jose. Not taking part in the game-day skate is usually a pretty good indicator that he won't be in the lineup.
Crawford stopped 25 of 27 shots in a win over the Stars on Tuesday. He has won six of his last eight starts while only giving up 12 goals on 188 shots (.936 SV%). Tonight, he faces the beast of the East in Boston. Crawford turned aside 34 in their first meeting en route to a 3-2 shootout win.
