Mueller, 28, has appeared in three games for Dallas this season recording four shots. He is fourth on Texas with 54 points (24G / 30A) in 58 games played and is tied for the AHL lead with 14 power play goals.
If the injury to Bernier is serious, Reimer would step-in as the Maple Leafs starer, a spot he has been chasing all season. Reimer is owned in 43 per cent of Yahoo! leagues and would be worth an add with Bernier potentially sidelined.
Bernier had allowed two goals on 10 shots before not returning to the net for the second period. James Reimer came in and closed the door on all 31 shots that he faced to preserve the 3-2 victory for the Leafs. Bernier has been excellent this season, a serious injury would be awful for Toronto. If he does miss a lengthy period of time, that obviously boosts James Reimer's value.
Lundqvist stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 4-2 victory over the Jets on Friday. Win number 301 now has him tied with Mike Richter for the most in Rangers' history, but to break that record tonight, he has to get by the Sharks. San Jose has won five in a row while outscoring opponents 23-11.
Luongo allowed three goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday. After posting a 25-save shutout in his Panthers re-debut, Bobby Lu has given up seven goals on 67 shots (.895 SV%) in his last two outings. He will look to move to 3-0 over his former teammate Cory Schenider tonight in Florida.
Quick gave up two tallies on 27 shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory in Edmonton. Quick has been ridiculous as of late. He has won six straight starts while only allowing six goals on 138 shots (.957 SV%). He is as hot as they come right now and is a must-start when he's between the pipes. He will see his former backup Jonathan Bernier across the rink tonight.
Berra was picked up for a third-round pick at the trade deadline on March 5. He was set to become and unrestricted free agent this offseason, but with J.S Giguere leaning towards retiring, the Avalanche have locked Berra up through the 2016-17 season. The financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed, but the deal will be made official on Friday and the details will be released then.
Hamilton was a healthy scratch in each of the last two games but draws back in tonight vs. Phoenix. He will be paired with Zdeno Chara.
Dougie Hamilton will draw back into the lineup with Krug taking a seat. Krug has a goal and two assists in eight games since the NHL resumed action. Tonight, will be the first game that Krug has missed this season.
Anisimov was expected to miss tonight's game after his wife gave birth to their child this morning. Matt Frattin draws into the lineup.
Rask stopped 35 of 36 shots in a 4-1 win over the Canadiens last night. He was great all night and it was a mad scramble goal that broke his shutout bid. He has won four in a row while only allowing seven goals on 114 shots (.939 SV%). He was a must-start in his first 48 starts and nothing has changed.
Ward stopped 24 of 25 shots in a 3-1 win over the Rangers on Tuesday. It was Ward's first win since December 31 and the first time in 11 starts that he did not allow three-plus goals. Hopefully for Ward owners Tuesday was a sign of things to come. He has the best of matchups tonight with the Sabres in town.
Franson missed Tuesday's game with an illness but will be back in tonight as the Maple Leafs once again go with seven defensemen.
Holland likely won't play tonight because of a stomach flu. That means David Clarkson moves to the second line and NIkolai Kulemin shifts to the third line centre. Monitor Holland's status in warmups, but he is questionable after missing the skate.
van Riemsdyk was run over by teammate Dion Phaneuf in Tuesday's loss to the Sharks. He left briefly but did return, so there is no surprise that he is on the ice this afternoon and is expected to play tonight vs. L.A. Despite the blowout loss to the Sharks, JVR still picked up an assist and now has 54 points (26G/28A) in 65 games.
Bernier was excellent stopped 43 of 44 shots in a 3-1 win over the Ducks on Monday. To nobodies surprise, Bernier will get the call tonight vs. the Kings, it will be his first time back in Staples Center since being traded to the Leafs. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.42 GAA and .930 SV% in March. However, LA is one of the NHL's hottest teams right now, so be cautious.
Kunitz status for this weekend is still unknown. He crashed hard into the net on Tuesday but stayed in the game. Coach Dan Bylsma said that he is dealing with some bumps and bruises, so he will likely be in the lineup during the home-and-home vs. the Flyers.
Eakin did not participate in Stars' practice this morning and likely will not be in the lineup vs. the Flames tomorrow. No word on if the Stars plan to recall anyone from Texas (AHL) at this time.
Lehtonen skated before the Stars practice this morning and it obviously went very well because he is waiting to be cleared by doctors to practice with the team tomorrow night and potentially even suit up. This is great news for Lehtonen owners and Stars fans because the hit that he took was nasty, but it may only end up costing him the one game.
Tuukka Rask stopped 35 shots last night, so after a busy night it would make sense for the B's to turn to Johnson tonight. He has won four of his last five starts with a 2.00 GAA and .918 SV%. He will need to be great again tonight as he likely goes head-to-head with Mike Smith, who is one of the hottest goalies in the NHL right now.
