NHL Hockey Player News

With news of the Hiller injury, Fasth is expected to get the majority of starts moving forward and continue his solid play.

If you were banking on Irving vs. Columbus, you did OK. We don't recommend you roll the dice vs. Vancouver unless you are absolutely desperate.

Ride Fasth as long as you need to because at this rate, unless Hiller is 100%, Fasth is likely to get the starts.

After backstopping the Wings to a 2-1 victory over Edmonton, Howard looks to build upon a solid performance vs. the Kings. With the Kings offense the way it has been for most of the season, Howard should be a decent start.

Despite speculation on DiPietro, Nabokov will in fact start another game for the Isles.

Nabokov wasn't at the morning skate so there are no early indicators of who will start the game. This could come down to a gametime decision.

If Enroth was on the ice this morning, it is unlikely he will suit up tonight. There is speculation that Enroth could start after the Bruins' game was cancelled so this could come down to a gametime decision.

As expected, Smith gets the start.

Get past the grammar and know that Theodore will start after he got the shootout win in the Cats' last game. The Caps are proving to be a decent matchup so far but still possess enough weapons to give any goalie trouble.

Garon was going to start but instead the game will be postponed.

Get Rask out of your lineup tonight!

Hiller was pulled after sustaining a lower back injury last night but is expected to still back up Fasth. Fasth has been the top goalie controversy this season going 4-0-0 with a 1.06 GAA and .957 SV% - you could do worse.

Backstrom has severely underperformed so far this season, posting a 3-4-1 record and a .902 SV%. It's taken a while for the new look Wild to get their season started.

Good news as the illness may have been affected Parise's poor play over the Wild last couple games.

Schneider has been good this season but has been outshadowed by Luongo. Playing the Flames gives him an opportunity to get his season back on track.

Bailey was injured overseas and as a result was suspended by the club. He will provide additional depth to the Isles' forward core and this could be the year he finally starts putting up some offensive numbers.

Niemi is coming off of a tough loss at home to the Blackhawks and hopes to get back on track against a Phoenix team who was blown out against the Hawks.

Myers has been having a tough start to the year. The former top prospect will have an opportunity to clear his head tonight. At this point, Myers is expendable in fantasy.

Mason started his last game in Minnesota and only let in one goal so clearly the Wild are looking for a repeat performance against the struggling Wild offense.

Garon has played well in his two starts this season. He is 1-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .939 SV%, but isn't a great fantasy option considering Anders Lindback will likely see close to 40 starts this season. He isn't a great spot start option tonight either with a tough match-up against a strong Bruins squad.
