NHL Hockey Player News

Goloubef has one goal in nine games this season.

Sharp's timetable for recovery was 3-4 weeks but it looks like he might be ahead of schedule. He still isn't expected to be back anytime soon but keep an eye on him. Especially if he was dropped after his injury.

Hiller has won three starts in a row and only allowing three goals with one shutout in those starts. He has a solid matchup vs. a Stars team minus Jamie Benn and Brenden Morrow. He should make for a good start.

Backstrom allowed two goals on 21 shots in his last outing in a loss to Anaheim. He has won four of his last six games with a 2.59 GAA and .899 SV%. He has a decent matchup against the Avalanche tonight.

Enstrom skated this morning in a no-contact jersey, which indicates he is nearing a return. He hasn't played since February 15th because of a shoulder injury. He was having a great season with two goals and 11 assists in 13 games before getting hurt.

Ennis missed the Sabres last game with a head injury he suffered during a hit vs. Philadelphia. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game.

Leino has not played in a game this season. He has never lived up to his hype so wait for him to produce before adding him to your fantasy roster.

This is good news for the Ducks. Fasth's injury is not serious and he won't miss too much time. Hiller will likely start tonight because of Fasth's injury but he should be back in the crease soon.

Morrow will miss his third game in a row tonight. Morrow skated this morning and it looked as if he might be in the lineup, but that is not the case. He should be back in the lineup Saturday vs. Chicago.

Benn will miss his second straight game with a wrist injury tonight. The Stars struggled vs. Nashville without Benn on Tuesday, so they could be in tough again tonight vs. a tough Ducks team. There is no timetable for Benn's return.

HIller is very likely to get the start tonight with Fasth out. Hiller has won three starts in a row and only allowing three goals with one shutout in those starts. He has a solid matchup vs. a Stars team minus Jamie Benn and Brenden Morrow. He should make for a good start.

Lundqvist lost each of his last two starts against weak Eastern Conference opponents (OTT & BUF). He has another easy matchup tonight vs. Winnipeg, but with the Rangers it is impossible to know what is going to happen. Lundqvist is still one of the NHL's best goalies so you should be able to start him with confidence.

Pavelec stopped 24 of 26 shots that he faced in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. He could be in tough tonight against a Rangers team with a lot of fire-power. Pavelec is 4-6-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .906 SV% at the MTS Centre this season.

Fleury won his last start against Toronto on Saturday and will face them again tonight. The Maple Leafs played hard and gave the Penguins a run for their money but Pittsburgh ultimately won the game. Fleury should make for a good start tonight.

The Stars are in trouble without their best player Jamie Benn and their captain Brenden Morrow. Lehtonen allowed four goals on 21 shots in his last start vs. the Predators. He will face a much better offense tonight when the Stars take on the Ducks. One positive for him is that Anaheim will be missing Corey Perry who is serving a four game suspension.

Versteeg has been in-an-out of the Panthers lineup this season. He will now join Stephen Weiss as Panthers who are out for the rest of the season.

Genoway is a small defenceman at 5'9", he has four goals and 15 assists in 53 games in the AHL this season.

Clemmensen hasn't started since last Thursday but will be in between the pipes tonight against the Bruins. This is a tough matchup for Clemmensen, I would not recommend starting him in any format.

Allen has won all three starts he has made since being recalled a couple of weeks ago to solidify the Blues goaltending. The 22-year-old has posted a 2.65 GAA and .913 SV% in those three starts. He has a decent matchup vs. a mediocre Coyotes team tonight.

Expect Aaron Johnson to draw into the lineup to replace McQuaid.
