Spacek is still a little bit away from returning to the lineup but skating with the team is an encouraging sign. With Spacek out, Alexei Emelin remains in the lineup for the Habs. When he does return, don't expect too much as the days of 10 goals and 45 points are well behind him.
Kopitar has been on a tear to start the season. At this point he should be considered an elite center across all fantasy hockey formats.
Owned in only 1 percent of Yahoo! fantasy hockey leagues, Pyatt could have value in deeper leagues.
Look for Cammy to draw back in on the top line alongside Erik Cole and Tomas Plekanec. He scored a goal over two games before getting injured.
Over 13 career appearances against the Pens, Price holds a 7-5-0 record with a 2.65 GAA, .917 SV% and one shutout.
Jeffrey's return would be a welcome sign for the Pens, who are forced to use Richard Park on a scoring line. Last season he scored seven goals and 12 points through 25 games with the team, an indication he can light the lamp at the NHL level.
Tough break for Kennedy, who moved up to a prominent scoring role due to injuries. At this point it is likely safe to drop him for a healthier option.
Strait was called up to replace Kris Letang in the lineup but was injured in his first game back. Look for him to return to the minors following his recovery.
Neal missed practice today but should play tonight. His six goals are second to only Phil Kessel as far as League leaders are concerned. Feel free to start him tonight.
Colaiacovo has missed the past five games. With only 63, 65 and 67 games played over the past three seasons, missing around 15-20 games has become the norm for the former 17th overall pick.
Perron skated with his teammates, not by himself, which is a very welcome sign for him. The next step would be slowly introducing him to contact. Considering he only skated 20 minutes today, his return should take a while.
Through 19 starts against the Flyers, Vokoun holds a 7-8-2-1 record with a 2.66 record, .916 SV% and one shutout.
Through eight career appearances against the Sens, Pavelec holds a 4-3-0 record with a 2.44 GAA and .925 SV%.
With the Caps likely keeping D.J. King on the bench, the Flyers have no need to dress Jody Shelley. Look for him to draw in for rivalry games.
In three career starts against the Caps, Bryzgalov holds a 1-0-1 record with a 3.36 GAA and .890 SV%.
If for whatever reason you own Lee, bench him tonight. He once again figures to be the odd man out on the Sens blue line.
Look for Gonchar to play on the bottom defensive pairing and top PP unit. Through his first five games this season, the Russian defenseman has two assists with a minus-3 rating.
Over 20 career starts against the Habs, Fleury holds a 10-8-1 record with a 3.45 GAA and .884 SV% against the Habs.
Keller is likely a precautionary measure should Taylor Hall, or any other forward for that matter, not feel well enough to play tonight. Last game the team was forced to dress Theo Peckham as a seventh defenseman in order to field a full lineup.
Malkin obviously will not play tonight. He will continue to rest his ailing knee in order to be fully healthy later in the season.
