NHL Hockey Player News

Green missed his second straight game on Sunday and his status for Tuesday's tilt with the Islanders is unknown.

Fistric was injured on Saturday and won't be back until after the Olympic break. His injury allowed the Ducks to recall Sami Vatanen.

Berra stopped 14 of 17 shots after replacing the injured Karri Ramo in a win over the Wild on Saturday. With Ramo out until after the Olympics, the starting job is Berra's. He enters play in Montreal on Tuesday with a 3-5-0, 3.52 GAA and .897 SV% on the road this season.

Lundqvist has won three in a row while allowing just five goals. He sits at 20-18-3 on the season but was a fantastic 8-3-1 in January.

Vatanen registered 14 points (6G / 8A) in 39 games with the Ducks this season. He had one goal and five assists in six games while he was with Norfolk.

Reto Berra will take over the Flames goaltending duties while Ramo is sidelined.

Tanguay was unavailable on Saturday and will not play tonight in New Jersey. He likely won't be ready to play on Tuesday either.

Stastny was held out on Saturday's game and will not play again tonight in New Jersey. His ankle injury is not believed to be serious and is listed as day-to-day.

Ortio has played 25 games with Abbotsford this season. He is top five in the AHL in all goaltending categories with a 19-5 record (2nd) for a .792% winning percentage along with a .930% save percentage (3rd) and a 2.08 GAA (4th).

Head coach Todd McLellan would not get into much detail about Demers’ injury, other than to say he hurt it skating and it’s not an ankle or a knee. Demers is listed as day-to-day.

Anderson surrendered five goals on 35 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Phil Kessel's hattrick hurt Anderson's fantasy investors. He will look to bounce back tonight in Pittsburgh, but we all know that that is never an easy task.

Weise brings some extra grit to the the Habs lineup. He has three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 44 games this season.

The Canucks get a puck moving defenceman who has 11 assists and minus-4 rating in 46 games with the Habs. With Kevin Bieksa and Chris Tanev out, the Canucks were in need of a D-man and they get one at a cheap price.

Lack gave up four goals on 34 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Jets on Friday. He will get a second straight start as the Canucks save Roberto Luongo for the Bruins tomorrow. He will face a Red Wings team who have scored 17 goals in their last five games (3.4 G/PG).

Harrold has been out since December 7, but could play tonight. The Devils did not have a morning skate, so we won't have any word until 5:30 p.m EST. Harrold has two assists and a minus-5 rating in 21 games this season.

Ward was back on the ice with the Hurricanes this morning and could return to the crease on Tuesday vs. the Jets. Anton Khudobin has been great while Ward is out, so the two will likely split the duties heading into the Olympic break.

Ramo was injured in Saturday's contest, but there is still no word on the severity of his injury. Joni Ortio has been recalled and is skating with the Flames while Ramo can't.

Giguere allowed one goal on 20 shots in relief of Semyon Varlamov in a loss to the Leafs on January 21. After a strong start to the season, Giguere has fallen way behind Varlamov in terms of starts. He has not recorded a win since December 6, but draws a good matchup tonight in New Jersey.

Letang will miss his third straight game and will go for further evaluations. Pens head coach Dan Bylsma is not sure whether or not Letang is fighting a serious illness. We should no more after Letang gets more tests done.

Fleury allowed three goals on 30 shots in a loss to the Coyotes on Saturday. He sits at 29-13-1 with a 2.28 GAA and .917 SV% on the season. He will get his 24th home start of the season tonight vs. Ottawa. He is 19-3-0 in Pittsburgh this year.
