Bertuzzi hasn't played since February 7th because of a back injury. The Red Wings are on the outside looking in and Bertuzzi's veteran presence should help them vs. the Kings tonight. He has two goals and one assist in seven games this season. Tootoo will likely be a healthy scratch in favor of Bertuzzi.
Toronto is trying to get to fourth in the East so it makes sense that they would go with their #1 goalie. He stopped 49 of 50 shots that he faced in a 4-1 win over the Senators last Saturday. He is 1-0-0 vs. Tampa Bay this year.
Brown elbowed Pominville in the second period last night and Pominville did not return to the game. We'll have to wait and see if he gets suspended later this afternoon.
Tinordi has one assist and is a plus-2 in six games with the Habs this season.
Doesn't sound like Malone will be in the lineup tonight when Tampa Bay takes on the Maple Leafs.
Bishop has lost four straight and six out of his last seven starts. He is 2-4-1 with a 3.12 GAA and .916 SV% since being traded to the Bolts. He will face a Maple Leafs that he has a 3.70 GAA and .861 SV% against this season.
Rinne has lost seven straight starts and has been a fantasy bust this season. He went 33-22-9 with a 2.12 GAA and .930 SV% in 2010-11 and 43-18-8 with a 2.39 GAA and .923 SV% last season. He has fallen to 14-16-8 with 2.42 GAA and .911 SV% this season, however he has a great matchup tonight. You should be able to squeeze one more win out of him tonight.
Letang missed last night's game with an illness but he will be back tonight vs. the Sabres. He has five goals and 29 assists in 32 games thus far which has him ranked second amongst NHL defenseman. Get him in your lineup.
Malkin will return to the Pens lineup after missing their last five games with a shoulder injury. He is an elite player so obviously you should get him into your lineup. He has missed a lot of time this year with injuries which has limited his production but he still has eight goals and 21 assists in 28 games.
Fleury is one of the best fantasy goalies there is and you start him with confidence. He will start tonight with a strong matchup vs. the Sabres.
Antropov will return to the Jets lineup tonight after missing the last eight games with a lower-body injury.
Wellwood's season is over and will be replaced by Nik Antropov in the lineup.
Mason will get his third start in the Flyers last four games. With the Flyers being out of playoff contention they are turning to Mason to see what they have in the 24-year-old former rookie of the year. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.09 GAA and .931 SV% since coming over from Columbus. He has a tough matchup vs. the Bruins tonight.
This is simply a reporters guess, but it makes sense since Bryz hasn't started since April 18th. The Flyers had a playoff team on paper but some injuries and bad play derailed their season. This will be Bryzgalov's third start vs. the B's this season. He is 1-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .935 SV% in the two previous meetings. He is a disappointing 18-17-3 accompanied by a 2.84 GAA and .894 SV% in 2013, so it will be tough to trust him at this time of the season.
Pavelec stopped 24 of 25 shots in a huge win for the Jets last night. He will be back in goal again tonight for the Jets biggest game of the season. With a regulation loss they will be eliminated from the playoffs, but with a win they will have a one point lead over the Caps for the Southeast division lead. Pavelec is not the best option tonight but you could do worse.
The young Swede has a a rough season after putting up some solid numbers last campaign. With 10 games tonight he probably isn't a viable starting option unless you are desperate.
Niemi gave up four goals on 22 shots in a loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday. He will be back in goal tonight when the Sharks take on the desperate Stars. San Jose can clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win so Niemi should make for a good start.
Rinne has lost seven straight starts and has been a fantasy bust this season. He went 33-22-9 with a 2.12 GAA and .930 SV% in 2010-11 and 43-18-8 with a 2.39 GAA and .923 SV% last season. He has fallen to 14-16-8 with 2.42 GAA and .911 SV% this season, however he has a great matchup tonight. You should be able to suck one last win out of him tonight.
The Flames season has been a loss. Roman Cervenka, Brian McGrattan, Akim Aliu, Carter Bancks and Blair Jones will enter the lineup.
