Markstrom will face the Habs for the first time in his career.

Through eight career appearances against the Blue Jackets, Conklin holds a 3-0-2 record with a 3.06 GAA, .895 SV% and one shutout.
Over four career appearances against the Rangers, Mason holds a 3-0-0 record with a 2.46 GAA and .897 SV%.

Santorellli will make his season debut tonight on the fourth line. Last season, the pivot finished the year with 20 goal and 41 points, proving he can be useful to fantasy hockey owners.

Considering Stewart played through this injury for a few games, he likely won't miss any playing time.
Through three games, Faulk has no points, a minus-5 rating and 10 PIM.

LaRose continues to play a top-six role although his hands are somewhat limited. Look for 12-16 goals from him this season.
Following missing one game due to his wife giving birth, Rolston returns to the third line.
Like last season, Alfredsson will need some maintenance days. Should he need more than one game off, we will update you. In the meantime, look for Kaspars Daugavins to step into the second line RW.
Markov is rumored to return sometime during the month of November. Stay tuned for further updates from the team.

Brodeur traveling with the team is a welcome sign but the veteran needs more practice before he gets back between the pipes. Then again, he could have waited back East and met the team in Phoenix or Dallas. Stay tuned for a further update.

Through 18 career appearances against the now-defunct Thrashers, Biron held a 6-11-0 record with a 3.31 GAA, .869 SV% and three shutouts.
Walker could drop the gloves tonight but with limited playing time his fantasy hockey value is virtually nonexistent.
Look for Shelley to drop the gloves with Jay Rosehill or Mike Brown tonight.
Sturm practiced on the fourth line and figures to start his career in Florida there. Through six games this season, the German winger is a minus-5; don't add him.
