Even though Lindback gave up five goals in his last start he finally got a win after losing four consecutive. He will have a solid matchup tomorrow against the Maple Leafs.
Hiller hasn't played since February 8 when he went down with an injury. Hiller was not rushed back into action either because Viktor Fasth has been everything the Ducks have hoped for and more. Hiller has a good matchup tonight as Anaheim takes on Columbus.
Gustavsson has yet to make a start in the NHL this season because he got hurt filling in for Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings first game this season. Howard is a workhorse so Gustavsson likely won't be fantasy relevant but could be worth the occasional spot start.
Nash has 11 G and 24 A in 50 games in the AHL this season. He isn't expected to be fantasy relevant.
Pacioretty got cut near his ribs in Montreal's last game but will be good to go tonight. He is still looking for his first goal of the year but has 8 assists in 10 games.
Mashinter has 11 points in 14 games for Connecticut of the AHL this season, he is not expected to be fantasy relevant.
Loktionov is currently making his Devils debut vs. Ottawa. He is a skilled player and if put in the right situation, he could produce. However it remains to be seen how much ice he will see.
Brent is a key to the Hurricanes PP and a great penalty killer so this is a tough loss for the Hurricanes. However he is not a great fantasy option. He only has 2 assists in 13 games this season.
Taylor was 13-10-1 with a 1.82 GAA and .929 SV% in the AHL this season. He has a solid matchup vs. the Coyotes and could be worth a spot if you trust the Flames. Use your best judgement.
Bryzgalov has alternated wins and losses in his last 6 games, he lost his last game... That means he is going to win this one right? He has a decent matchup as long as the Flyers can slow down the red hot John Tavares.
Nabokov has won his last 2 after losing 4 straight before that. He posted solid numbers in those 2 wins (1.92 GAA and .943 SV%). He has a decent matchup against an inconsistent Flyers team.
Hornqvist will play for the first time January 26 but will return to the Predators lineup today but will see limited minutes. This is good news for the Predators as they get their 2012 leading goal scorer back.
Scrivens stopped all 34 shots he faced in his first career shutout on Saturday vs. Ottawa. He will be back in net tonight against a weak Florida team. The matchup should make for a good start.
Pekka Rinne has played extremely well lately but Mason will start today. This will be Mason's third start of the season, he is 1-0-1 with a 1.45 GAA and .952 SV%. He could be worth a spot start today when the Predators take on an Avalanche team that has won only once in their last five games.
Subban was sick for the last few days but he will be in the lineup tonight when the Habs take on Carolina. Subban has played well since returning from his contract holdout. He has registered 3 G and 3 A in his first 8 games.
Versteeg hasn't played since February 12 and won't be in the lineup tonight when the Panthers take on the Maple Leafs. He has struggled this season with only 1 G, 2 A and a -7 in 7 games this season. He posted up 23 G and 31 A in 71 games last season so he could be a good pickup when he returns from injury if he can find his scoring touch again.
Theodore has given up 12 goals in his last three starts, all of which resulted in losses. Theodore's 3.41 GAA and .892 SV% has hurt the Panthers this season, and has certainly hurt his fantasy value. He has a fairly good matchup tonight against Toronto.
Varlamov got peppered by the Oilers in his last outing giving up 5 goals on 55 shots. He still posted a .909 SV% but giving up 55 shots is not going to get the job done. Varlamov has a decent matchup today vs. Nashville especially since Pekka Rinne will be on the bench and Chris Mason will start.
Budaj won his first game of the season on Saturday vs. the Flyers. With Price out with the flu Budaj will get the start again tonight vs. the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes have won 3 straight heading into tonight so the matchup is not the best for Budaj.
Pavelec is Winnipeg's unquestioned #1 goalie. And he needs to pick his play up if they are going to be successful. He has 1 win in his last 3 starts with a 2.38 GAA and .893 SV%. His 3.15 GAA on the season isn't cutting it and has really hurt his fantasy value. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Bruins.
