Getting Tanguay back into the lineup will help offset the loss of Curtis Glencross. The Ste-Justine, Quebec, native scored five goals and 22 points in 33 games before getting hurt.
There's a very good chance Hanzal plays tonight. When Hanzal does return, expect him to center the second line. The former 17th overall pick scored five goals and 19 points in 33 games before getting hurt. His return should help spark the Coyotes offense.
In six career starts against the Red Wings, Smith has a 1-4-1 record with a 2.97 GAA and .901 SV%.
Burmistrov goes from the first to fourth line with Blake Wheeler back in the lineup. The sophomore has eight goals and 17 points over 42 games.
Miettinen is the odd-man out of the team's fourth line. He has two assists over 14 games.
Expect McCormick to fill in on the fourth line. The team's enforcer has 31 PIM over 30 games.
In 21 career starts against the 'Jets', Miller has a 12-2-5 record with a 2.62 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout.
All jokes aside, Lebda has been one of the steadier defenders down in Springfield. Expect him to add depth to the team's blue line.
Safe to drop Martinek if you rostered him. The oft-injured defenseman scored a goal over seven games.
Oberg likely is brought up as insurance for the wounded forwards. Guy Boucher is not afraid to dress seven d-men.
Clowe is eligible to come off IR on January 22nd but he likely stays out until after the All-Star Game. The Mount Pearl, Newfoundland has nine goals and 26 points through 42 games.
Sounds like White is healthy enough to play again. He has two assists in 24 games.
In his post game media session Lindy Ruff mentioned Gaustad was hurt. Sounds like he is too injured to stay in the lineup. Look for Cody McCormick to get back into the lineup.
Tallinder is apparently hurt and will not play tonight. He has six assists with a minus-11 rating over 39 games.
Look for the rookie Taormina to fill in for an injured Tallinder. He has three assists over 12 games this season.
Rinaldo will miss his second consecutive game tonight. The young pugilist has 122 PIM in 35 games.
Shelley, not Zac Rinaldo, is your PIM stream of the evening for the Flyers. He has 17 PIM through 15 games.
In 19 career appearances against the Devils, Thomas has a 9-5-3 record with a 2.15 GAA, .929 SV% and two shutouts.
Including tonight, the Preds play four games before the All-Star Game which would mean Suter could miss all of them. The Madison, Wisconsin native is on track for a career year with five goals and 25 points in 44 games.
Getting Sauer back into the lineup would make the team's defense fully healthy for the first time all season. The St. Cloud, Minnesota native scored a goal and three points in 19 games before getting hurt.
