Backstrom had a fantastic March. He went 11-2-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .915 SV%. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Blues tonight, but he has made himself a must-start with his recent stretch of stellar play.
Crawford had his shutout ruined with 33 seconds left in Sunday's game. He made 33 saves but did not have to work to hard because the Blackhawks scored three goals on their first three shots and were in control the entire game. He has a good chance to start the week off with a win vs. the Predators.
Lehtonen allowed three goals on 40 shots in a loss to the Kings on Sunday. He will be back in the crease tonight vs. a tough Ducks team.
Malone had 10 goals and 14 assists in 63 games in the AHL this season.
Bailey fell awkwardly into the boards after being hit by Pittsburgh's Chris Kunitz. Kunitz was assessed a game misconduct for the hit. Bailey did not return to the game but will likely play tonight vs. the Devils.
Nabokov had his three game winning streak snapped on Saturday. He allowed two goals on 27 shots vs. the Penguins. He played very well, but Tomas Vokoun could not be beat in the other net. He will need to outplay Martin Brodeur tonight if he is going to record a win.
Price posted a 34-save shutout on Saturday vs. the Rangers. He finished March at 6-3-2 with a 2.81 GAA, .903 SV% and one shutout. He has a fairly tough matchup tonight vs. the Hurricanes.
Kennedy was moved up to Crosby's spot on the first line during Saturday's game. However he was quickly swapped out in favor of Brandon Sutter. Kennedy was in Sid's spot this morning so it looks like he will get another crack between Kunitz and Dupuis. This will certainly boost his fantasy value, but make sure it is a permanent move before rushing to the waiver-wire to add him.
Zetterberg was a late scratch before yesterday's game with a groin injury that will keep him out of tonight's game as well. He has eight goals and 24 assists in 34 games this season.
Quincey will miss his eighth straight game tonight. Monitor his status prior to Thursday's game.
Wathier has three goals and 15 assists in 52 games in the AHL this season.
Lundqvist's 2.05 GAA and .926 SV% in March did not translate into his record (6-6-1) because of the lack of scoring in New York. Hopefully the Rangers figure out how skilled they are a start scoring so Lundqvist can record some more wins. He starts April with a solid matchup vs. a Jets team who have lost four out of six.
Lee just finished up his junior year at the University of Notre Dame. He had 20 goals and 18 assists in 41 games this season. He totaled 61 goals and 55 assists (116 points) in 125 games at Notre Dame. It is unlikely that he will play for the Isles tonight, but tomorrow is a possibility.
Smid is in his seventh season in the NHL, all of which have been spent in Edmonton. He has 10 goals and 52 assists in 443 games. He is a solid stay at home defenseman who is much more valuable to the Oilers than he is to your fantasy team.
Brodeur will get his sixth straight start since returning from a back injury. He is 2-0-3 with a 2.12 GAA and .895 SV%. He has a solid matchup vs. the Islanders tonight.
Bourque has been out for over a month with a concussion. He was close to returning recently but suffered a setback. If he stays on with the team today it would indicate he is nearing a return. However he is still day-to-day at this point. He had five goals and five assists in 17 games prior to getting hurt.
Zubrus (wrist) has only appeared in nine games this season. He has been out for over a month and this is the first time he has skated with the team since getting hurt. Zubrus would help the Devils because of Ilya Kovalchuk's injury but he is not a good fantasy option.
Talbot left yesterday's game vs. Washington and did not return. The injury was originally called lower-body and day-to-day but after further evaluation he will be out for the rest of the season with a broken leg.
Khudobin is 1-1-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .904 SV% in two starts vs. Sabres this season.
A late confirm means it'll be tough to get MIller into your lineup, but he has a tough matchup anyways against the B's. On the season MIller is 11-14-5 with a .911% and 0 shutouts, well below his usual numbers.
