Since Bryzgalov's first shutout of the season he's won two of his last four starts posting a 4.30 GAA and .857 SV%. Those are not numbers that make you confident about starting him but he will look to get back on track tonight vs. Washington.
This will be Scrivens ninth consecutive start. Since James Reimer got injured on February 11, Scrivens has started every game for the Maple Leafs. Of the eight starts he's made Scrivens has won four of them and has the Maple Leafs sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference.
Read is still going to be out of the lineup for awhile and could miss the rest of the fantasy regular season. It is a good sign that he was at practice but he's still not close to playing.
Grubauer was called up because Michael Neuvirth is sick. Grubauer will back-up Braden Holtby.
Smith gets the start as expected
The often injured Salo left the game early Tuesday. We will update when we know more.
Hanzal is out tonight
As expected Vrbata is out again tonight
Brassard left Tuesday's game early. We will update you when more is known.
McGinn broke his orbital bone in a fight with Toronto grinder Mike Brown in yesterday's 4-2 loss. He is likely to be out for a couple of weeks. The Flyers also traded for former Flyer Simon Gagne today who is expected to move into McGinn's spot on the roster.
The Stars get rid of Ryder who is in the final year of his contract and get Cole who has two years remaining on his deal. Cole has three goals and three assists in 19 games this season.
Ryder returns to the Habs where he started his career and played four seasons. Ryder has six goals and eight assists in 19 games this season. Ryder could see top-6 forward minutes in Montreal.
After losing four straight Howard has now won two in a row and will look to make it three tomorrow in Los Angeles. With his back-to-back solid performances Howard has now pushed his SV% up to .901 on the season. He has a tough matchup tomorrow vs. the reigning Stanley Cup Champions.
Just when you thought the Red WIngs were going to start getting healthy again another key piece of the Red Wings offense goes down. Filppula won't play tomorrow but he isn't expected to be out long term.
Franzen (hip flexor) hasn't played since February 10th, will be a welcomed addition to a depleted Red Wings roster. Franzen has nine points in 12 games this season and should continue to be a solid fantasy contributer.
Brodeur won't be eligible to play until Monday vs. Toronto.
Etem is not expected to play a prominent role for the Ducks so he is not fantasy relevant.
Gagne gets to go back to the team he played 10 seasons for (1999-00 to 2009-10). He recorded 524 of his 586 career points as a member of the Flyers. He has been a healthy scratch on multiple occasions this year in Los Angeles, Philadelphia could provide him with more ice-time.
It is probably going to be Bachman in between the pipes tonight because Nilstorp played yesterday and gave up five goals in a 5-4 loss to Nashville. Bachman is 1-3-0 with a 3.95 GAA and .897 SV% this season, not exactly numbers that make you feel confident about using him as a spot start.
Vrbata has missed the Coyotes last three games but could return tonight. Monitor his status prior to game-time.
