NHL Hockey Player News

As expected, Anderson is on the ice this morning. The Senators have a back-to-back tonight and tomorrow, so Anderson's participation this morning suggests that he could be ready to start on Sunday.

Howard stopped 21 of 22 shots and all three shootout attempts in a 2-1 SO victory over the Oilers on Friday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Howie, who the Red Wings are still looking for to re-gain his 2013 form. He draws a very difficult tonight in Chicago.

Luongo allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 5-3 win over Cory Schneider and the Devils on Friday. Today, will be a huge game for Bobby Lu as he goes up against a Canucks team who traded him just 12 days ago. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .919 SV% since the trade.

Johnson stopped 20 of 22 shots in a win over the Panthers last Sunday. Johnson is 13-3-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .919 SV% as the B's backup this season. He has developed into one of the best spot-start options in fantasy this season. He should make for another good start this afternoon vs. Carolina.

Enroth gave up three goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Predators on Tuesday. Despite Michal Neuvirth's 51-save performance on Thursday, it looks like the Sabres will go with Enroth tonight. Enroth has gone 2-8-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .926 SV% on the road this season.

Bishop allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 5-4 win over the Panthers on Thursday. The win snapped a four game losing streak for Bishop, but he has now allowed 17 goals in his last five games. He will look to figure it out tonight vs. the Devils. He stopped 20 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Devils in October.

Meszaros has one goal on eight shots with a plus-3 rating in his first three games since being traded to the Bruins.

Krug was a healthy scratch on Thursday, but will return this afternoon with Andrej Meszaros serving as the healthy scratch. Krug's 13 goals is fifth in the NHL amongst defensemen.

Reimer stopped all 31 shots he faced in the final two periods of Thursday's win over the Kings. Reimer replaced Jonathan Bernier, who left the game with an undisclosed injury. The injury will keep Bernier out for a few games, so Reimer becomes the number-1 for Sunday at least. He had 49 saves in a 2-1 shootout win in his first start vs. Washington.

Bernier was injured in the first period of Thursday's win over the Kings. The Maple Leafs have caught a break with the injury not being serious. However, it will cost him at least one game, James Reimer will start and Drew MacIntyre will serve as his backup.

MacInyre's recall suggests that Jonathan Bernier will not suit up on Sunday vs. the Capitals. MacIntyre is 25-15-3 with a 2.47 GAA and .919 SV% with the Marlies this season. Look for James Reimer to start tomorrow.

Megna has seven point (4G / 3A) in 24 games with the Penguins this season. While in the AHL he has collected nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 22 games. Coach Bylsma said that Megna will only play in emergency situations.

Price will start his first game since February 8th. He has missed eight contests with a lower-body injury, but will face the Senators tonight. Price will look to pick-up where he left off at the Olympics, but has struggled against the Sens this season. He is 1-1-1 with a 3.64 GAA and .891 SV% versus Ottawa.

Lindblad, 23, has seven goals and 15 assists (22 points) in 43 games with Providence this season. There is no word on who he will replace in the lineup.

Fleury stopped all 32 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the Capitals on Tuesday. It was his fifth shutout of the season and he continues to lead the NHL in wins, now at 34. Fleury has won three in a row with a 1.00 GAA and .963 SV%. He faces the rival Flyers this afternoon, he has gone 1-1 with a 1.52 GAA and .935 SV% in their first two meetings.

Nilsson allowed four goals on 23 shots in also to the Flames on March 7. He has posted a 3.56 GAA and .892 SV% in his last three starts and one relief appearance. The 23-year-old is not a great option, but has a juicy spot-start matchup with the Sabres in town.

We will wait for confirmation from coach Michel Therrien, but it looks like Price will start his first game since February 8th. Price has missed eight contests with a lower-body injury, but could face the Senators tonight. He will look to pick-up where he left off at the Olympics, but has struggled against the Sens this season. He is 1-1-1 with a 3.64 GAA and .891 SV% against Ottawa.

Ristolainen, 19, has one goal in 19 games with the Sabres this season. The 2013 eighth overall pick has six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 30 games with Rochester.

Brodeur stopped 30 of 31 shots in a 2-1 win over the Flyers on Tuesday. Brodeur has won four straight starts while posting a 2.25 GAA and .915 SV%. He will face the Lightning tonight, a team he was 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA and .980 SV% against this season, one of those wins were when they were without Steven Stamkos.

Kuemper stopped 29 of 30 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. Kuemper sits at 12-4-3 with a 2.25 GAA and .922 SV% on the season and will continue to start the vast majority of games until he falters. The 23-year-old gets the nod vs. the Blue Jackets at home where he is 7-1-1.
