Letang skated on his own this morning but not with the team. He will miss his fifth straight game tonight when the Pens take on the Rangers. He has the entire weekend to get ready for Pittsburgh's next game on Tuesday.
Craig Anderson is getting really close to returning and it was originally believed that he might be back tonight. However it looks like it will be Lehner after they traded Ben Bishop to the Lightning on Wednesday. Lehner stopped 47 of 50 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday. He has a much easier matchup tonight vs. the Sabres.
Fleury gave up six goals on 39 shots in a blowout 6-1 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He will face the same Rangers tonight looking for a better outing. Fleury is 11-2-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .924 SV% at home this season.
MacArthur has missed the Maple Leafs last four games but it looks like he will return tomorrow in place of the injured Joffrey Lupul.
Lupul took an ugly blow to the head from two Flyers last night. He looked a little groggy when he was trying to get off of the ice. The immediate concern is always a concussion, but Carlyle didn't make it sound like the injury was too serious. An update will likely be available later this afternoon.
Lundqvist stopped 26 of 27 shots that he faced in a 6-1 win over the Penguins on Wednesday. They take on the Pens again tonight looking for a repeat performance.
Fleury gave up six goals on 39 shots in a blowout 6-1 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He will face the same Rangers tonight looking for a better outing. Fleury is 11-2-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .924 SV% at home this season.
Howard allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Coyotes last night. He will be back in the cage again tonight, this time in Colorado. He stopped 22 shots and led the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Avs on Monday. Howard is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .951 SV% vs. Colorado this season.
This will be the fifth consecutive game that Vanek has missed with an upper-body injury. Consider Vanek questionable for Sunday's game with the Devils.
Jokinen was acquired by the Penguins on Wednesday and will suit up tonight vs. the Rangers. Jokinen has struggled this season, posting just six goals and five assists in 33 games with Carolina. Now he will be playing with two other veterans on a highly skilled team, you might be able to squeeze some fantasy value out of the 30-year-old.
The Wild says there is no exact timetable yet, but coach Mike Yeo said Thursday the Wild’s third-leading goal scorer will miss at least the next couple games and General Manager Chuck Fletcher said at least the next couple weeks.
Miller allowed one goal on 20 shots in a 4-1 win over the Penguins on Tuesday. Miller will face the Senators for the third time this season tonight. He is 0-1-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .908 SV% in his two previous starts vs. Ottawa.
NCAA free agents haven't made immediate impacts to date so we don't expect Lindblad to have any short-term fantasy relevance.
White has struggled this season and speculation was that he would get traded at Wednesday's deadline. Needless to say, he didn't and will find his way into Detroit's lineup on the road after a loss to Phoenix.
No word on who drops out of the lineup for Detroit but speculation is that Smith, Colaiacovo, or Lashoff would sit.
Given the severity of the injury and the fact that the injury has been nagging Brunner for as long as his production has decreased, Brunner can be safely dropped for another player to help you down the stretch.
Quincey will be in the lineup tonight but has been abysmal all season long. Given the circumstances of his injury, Quincey shouldn't be counted upon to produce tonight.
A bit of mystery here as Laich's absence was described as a coaching decision and not related to injury. Sounds more like Laich wasn't in game shape and needed to sit.
Goloubef doesn't expect to hold any fantasy value.
Better news than it looked like when Lupul left the game on Thursday in the first period. Lupul is an injury risk but has been productive for the Leafs when in the lineup.
