Theodore just ended a 4 games losing streak with a win against the Jets, and will be back between the pipes this afternoon. Theodore and the Panthers are struggling to win games, there are much better fantasy goalie options.
Make sure you get him out of your lineup if possible.
This is good news for fantasy owners of Elliott as he will be guaranteed the next two starts. Elliott is 3-2-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .900 SV% not bad numbers for Elliott but not as good as Halak. This is a mini audition for Elliott, if he plays well in these two games he will likely see more starts going forward.

Allen was brought up to serve as Brian Elliott's backup while Halak is out with a groin injury. He has no fantasy value.
Elliott will get at least the next two starts while Halak is out. The Blues expect to have Halak back by next weekend.
There is no timetable for Kesler's return but the fact that he is on the ice is promising. The Canucks could use the return of Kesler and he doesn't look too far off.
Nabokov is 4-0-1 in his last 5 starts and has a 3.14 GAA and .906 SV% on the season. His numbers leave little to be desired but he is giving the Islanders a chance to win and they are capitalizing. If Nabby can cut down on the goals against he could be a decent fantasy option.
Sekera left Saturday's game after suffering a lower body injury and will not play today. T.J Brennan will enter the Sabres lineup as his replacement.
No confirmation on whether or not Nabby will be the starter but it appears as if he will be. Nabokov is 4-0-1 in his last 5 starts and has a 3.14 GAA and .906 SV% on the season.

Ribeiro leads the Capitals with 8 points (1 G, 7 A) and has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise gloomy start for the Capitals. The Caps are hoping his playmaking will set up some scoring chances for Ovechkin to get off the cold-streak he is on right now.
Yet another injury for an already banged up Red Wings blueline. Ian White could be back on Tuesday and expect Brian Lashoff to fill in for Smith .
Lecavalier was hit in the foot by Sami Salo slap-shot yesterday. The x-rays being negative is good news for Lecavalier, there is no timetable for his return yet.
Weiss has missed the Panthers last four games with an groin injury, but Florida will welcome him back this afternoon. Weiss only has 1 assist in 3 games this season but is Florida's best center so his points will come.
Pacioretty was expected to miss 3 to 4 weeks after his appendectomy, but it looks like he has made a speedy recovery and could play today. Monitor his status before game-time.
Wisniewski fell awkwardly into the boards last night and suffered a concussion. Wisniewski has been off to a solid start this season with 2 G and 3 A in 9 games, the only problem is his +/- playing on Columbus. No timetable has been set for his return, monitor his status as concussions are tricky.
Erskine isn't fantasy relevant.
Quick only had 13 saves on 14 shots in his last outing against the Predators, and took the loss in overtime. Quick has actually played much better than his numbers indicate (2-2-2, 2.43 GAA, .907 SV%) and should start to pile up the wins. Quick was 5-1-0 against the Ducks last year, he is a must start regardless but that makes you feel even more comfortable
Rinne finally registered his first win of the season in his last outing. Despite the low win total Rinne has actually played well this season he's just run into some bad luck. He has a tough matchup tonight though against the only undefeated team left in the NHL (San Jose Sharks).
