Schneider has missed the last two games, but is eligible to come off of IR and start Saturday for the Devils. Practicing today is a good indication that he will play, but monitor his status over the next two days.

Schneider has missed the last two games, but is eligible to come off of IR and start Saturday for the Devils. Practicing today is a good indication that he will play, but monitor his status over the next two days.

Lander has two goals and four assists in eight games with OKC. He didn't record a point in his only game with the Oilers this season.

Halak gave up two goals on 23 shots in a win over the Jets on Tuesday. The win moved Halak to 7-1-1 with a 2.15 GAA and .917 SV%, but he will have a difficult matchup with the Lightning on Saturday.

Elliott gave up three goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Jets on October 18th. The way Jaroslav Halak has played early on, Elliott has been held to just one start. He is 0-0-1 with a 3.53 GAA and .881 SV% in limited action. Elliott has a great chance to earn his first win tomorrow vs. the Panthers.

Khudobin has missed the last six games, but will become the starter when he returns with Cam Ward out with a lower-body injury of his own.

Parros is not fantasy relevant.

After missing the last five games, Penner will be back in the lineup on Thursday vs. the Bruins. He will likely get eased back into the lineup, and should see third line minutes tonight. Penner has two goals and two assists in six games.
Pacioretty has missed the last seven games, but could return tomorrow. Monitor his status after the Habs morning skate on Friday.

Lehner gave up two goals on 20 shots in a losing effort on October 19th. He will look to get his first win tomorrow, vs. the Islanders. New York has the 11th ranked offence in the NHL - so it is not the best mathcup.

Price stopped 26 of 27 shots in a win over the Stars on Tuesday. He has been great lately, winning two of his last three with a 1.34 GAA and .958 SV%. Price has a decent matchup vs. the Wild's 21st ranked offence.

The 27-year-old Emelin, is a big, physical defenseman who has been a key part of the Habs blueline when healthy. He is not fantasy relevant having posted just 19 points in 105 career NHL games. Emelin participated in his first practice without a no-contact jersey this morning. He is nearing a return from a torn ligament in his knee.

Miller allowed four goals on 29 shots for his ninth loss of the season on Monday. Buffalo's lousy defense has made it difficult to endorse Miller as a fantasy starter. However he has a favourable matchup tonight, when he will take on an equally poor Rangers squad.

Hiller allowed two goals on 28 shots in a 3-2 win over the Flyers on Tuesday. The win snapped a three game losing streak for Hiller and was his fifth victory in eight starts. Tonight he will face a tough Bruins team on the road, he is 2-2-0 with a 3.23 GAA and .881 SV% away from Anaheim this season.

Moore has just one assist and a minus-5 rating through 11 games this season. Brandon Mashinter will enter the lineup with Moore out.

Spooner has two goals and five assists in eight games with Providence. He could be in the lineup tonight with the Bruins third line unable to generate any offence lately.

Pageau had one goal in eight games with the Senators.

The is the first time Callahan has skated with the Rangers since breaking his thumb in mid-October. His original recovery timetable was 3-4 weeks and today marks exactly two weeks. Callahan could potentially return next week, Wednesday vs. Pittsburgh or Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Lundqvist gave up two goals on 27 shots in a 2-0 loss to the Habs on Monday. He is off to the rough start to the 2013-14 season, but this was one of his better outings. Lundqvist will look to build off of it tonight against a bad Buffalo team.

Ovechkin has 10 goals and five assists in 12 games, so the Caps will be in tough without him on Friday. Eric Fehr will shift to the first line in Ovi's absence.

Until more information is released, assume Varlamov will be unable to start for the Avs.
