NHL Hockey Player News

Briere won't play tonight vs. the Penguins. He has five goals and eight assists in 23 games this season. Consider him day-to-day.

Rallo has 22 goals and 16 assists in 62 games in the AHL this season. He will replace the Injured Jack Skille in the Panthers lineup.

Skille suffered an injury and will not play tonight vs. the Islanders. The Panthers have recalled Greg Rallo to replace Skille.

Spooner did not record a point in the three games he played. He will return to the Providence Bruins where he leads the team with 45 points in 50 games.

Holtby stopped 50 of 51 shots that he faced in back-to-back wins over the Jets. The shutout in the first game was Holtby's fourth of the season. He has a solid matchup vs. a Rangers team who has scored the least goals in the Eastern Conference.

Lundqvist allowed two goals on 23 shots in his last start. The Rangers have struggled mightily this season and have not lived up to the expectations. Lundqvist is still an elite goalie and if the Rangers ever turn it around, 'King' Henrik will return to the upper echelon of fantasy goalies, but they're running out of time.

Letang is practicing on the Penguins fourth pair this morning which means he probably isn't going to suit up when the Penguins take on the Flyers tonight. Check back for confirmation later in the day.

Dustin Jeffery is still practicing in Malkin's usual spot on the second line suggesting that Malkin will not be in the lineup tonight. Check back for confirmation after the morning skate.

Howard will be in net tomorrow for round 2 between the Red Wings and Ducks. Howard stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 5-1 win yesterday in Anaheim. If the Red Wings can deliver a repeat performance Howard would be a great start. Anaheim is a good team so it won't be easy.

Khudobin will get his second straight start when the Bruins take on the Maple Leafs in Toronto. He is 2-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .967 GAA in his last two.

Colaiacovo was removed from injured reserve today, about two months after a shoulder injury landed him there following the Jan. 21 game at Columbus. Colaiacovo has the ability to put up points but is always an injury risk.

Oshie has missed the Blues last three games with a rib injury. They traded away Matt D'Agostini to make room for Oshie to return. He has five goals and 12 assists in 26 games.

Quick allowed two goals on 21 shots in a 2-0 loss to the Stars on Thursday. He will get the start tonight vs. the Canucks. He was on the losing side of a 5-2 game the last time he faced Vancouver.

Thompson has six goals and four assists in 30 games this season.

Johnson likely won't have any fantasy relevance unless Smith misses an extended period of time. However that does not appear to be the case.

The Coyotes don't play until Monday, so Smith has some time to heal. We'll have to wait and see if he will start Monday vs. Detroit.

It doesn't look like RNH will make the road-trip with the Oilers, he is suffering from strep throat.

Enstrom has not played since February 15th. He had 13 points in 13 games before getting hurt. He is an exceptional passer but he will not score a lot of goals. He rarely shoots the puck, he had just 9 shots in those 13 games.

Newbury is not fantasy relevant.

Miller hurt himself in practice this morning when he fell and collided with Henrik Lundqvist. Monitor his status prior to tomorrow's game.
