Sykora moves back up to the top line following a stint as the team's third line center.Through his first five games, the 18th overall pick produced only two assists. Look for him to pick up the production while reunited with friend and linemate Patrik Elias.
Through 25 starts against the Preds, Kipper holds a 14-9-1-1 record with a 2.42 GAA, .915 SV% with two shutouts.
Look for Gaustad to center the fourth line tonight. Considering the Lightning don't hold any real fighters, he probably won't contribute too much tonight.
Stafford stays in the lineup after not practicing yesterday. Through his first six games, he scored two goals and five points, continuing his breakout season of last year.
Over 21 career starts against the Sabres, Miller holds a 17-4-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and .907 SV%.
Ekholm loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value by returning to the SEL.
Over 30 career appearances against the Isles, Theodore holds a 17-9-1-1 record with a 2.02 GAA, .932 SV% and six shutouts.
Over three career starts vs. the Habs, Reimer sports a 2-1-0 record with a 2.67 GAA, .921 SV% and one shutout.
Looks like Franson draws out for yet another game. Playing in only three of the team's seven games signifies his order on their depth chart. Might want to look for better options at his point.
Following a scary elbow infection, MacArthur likely just needed some time off. Expect him to suit up next to his usual partners in crime Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin.
Connolly is still looking to make his debut with the Leafs. Don't hold your breath on him returning any time soon.
Lombardi looks to make an impact playing on the top line. Through his first six games as a member of the Leafs, he scored a goal and two points. Expect him to generate a few scoring chances with his speed.
Bozak probably sits out tonight's game due to a sore foot. Through his first six games, he produced four assists while playing with the steaming hot Phil Kessel. Matthew Lombardi is scheduled to take his spot on the top line.
With one goal and two points over 32 NHL games, Maxwell has not contributed offensively at the NHL level. Playing between two highly-touted former first rounders could change that starting tonight.
Jones had no points with a minus-3 rating in his only game with the Jets. He holds not fantasy hockey value.
Jovo-cop probably will play on the top defensive pairing with 2nd PP duty. Through five games, the former first overall pick scored a goal and three points.
Look for Matthias to draw back in on the third line, probably bumping Tim Kennedy back out of the lineup. Through five games, he has no points and a minus-2 rating.
Bergenheim has only one goal through his first four games. After pulling up lame during pre-game warmups, he remains out of the lineup.
Santorellli is still looking to make his season debut. Last season, the pivot finished the year with 20 goal and 41 points, proving he can be useful to fantasy hockey owners.
Sounds like Hedberg will be the go-to starting goalie for the Devils for at least another week. The team returns from their West Coast trip on November 2nd so that would be the earliest day Brodeur returns.
