In 36 career appearances against the Rangers, Fleury holds a 18-10-7-2 record with a 2.79 GAA, .907 SV% and two shutouts.

Regehr practiced with rookie Brayden McNabb on the third defensive pairing. He likely is eased back into the lineup there.

Look for Kaleta to draw back into the lineup on the fourth line. Despite his physical play, this hit-and-run artist has never topped 89 PIM.

Stafford practiced on the third line and likely is able to draw back into the lineup tonight. The Milwaukee has four goals and 12 points in his first 22 games of the season but missed Saturday's tilt.

Doesn't sound like McCormick will play but he should return within the next month, giving the Sabres a true enforcer.

Enroth will face the Isles for the first time in his career.

Miller continues to progress without setbacks. At this rate we can be anticipating a return over the next couple of weeks.

In two career appearances against the Blackhawks, Smith holds a 1-1-0 record with a 1.35 GAA, .949SV% and one shutout.

Sounds like Staal is taking the next step which is great for the Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist. Still, a return this calendar year seems highly improbable.

Grachev will not play tonight, so keep him out of your lineup if rostered. Likely day-to-day but stay tuned for a further update.

El Nino gets back into the lineup on the fourth line. The team claims they have no plans of sending him back to Portland so hopefully the rookie can make an impact at the NHL level.

If you own Haley to stream PIM, bench him tonight. The Sabres have a dearth of grit in their lineup anyways so there won't be any fights.

Montoya allowed two goals on 14 shots in his only career appearance against the Sabres.

Letang remains questionable for tonight's game but taking the ice is a welcome sign. Expect a further update on the offensive defenseman.

Just a day removed from being waived, Nodl could be a healthy scratch for the next game. He has one assist through 12 games.

Jagr skated alone which is a step in the right direction. His target date remains this Friday against in Anaheim.

Voracek is demoted to the third line after playing a few games on the top line. The Kladno native has four goals and 16 points in his first 23 games with the Flyers.

Simmonds moves back up to the second line. In his first season with the Flyers, the power forward has scored four goals and eight points with 40 PIM through 23 games.

Harry Z moves up to the top line. The Toronto native has scored a goal and two points in his first 11 NHL games.

Sounds like Harrison is still not healthy enough to play. Interesting to see how he reacts to a new coach considering he was a favored player under the old regime.
