Oduya draws back in following being a healthy scratch. He holds no fantasy hockey value as the team's 6th-7th defender.

Oduya draws back in following being a healthy scratch. He holds no fantasy hockey value as the team's 6th-7th defender.

Over seven career starts vs. the Pens, Pavelec holds a 0-7-0 record with a 4.67 GAA and .854 SV%.

Bouillon would serve as the team's number five defenseman when he returns. Prior to his concussion, he scored a goal and 10 points through 44 games. Expect him to help stabilizing the back end.
Hornqvist played sparingly in the team's last game. Look for today to just be a bit of maintenance before drawing in tonight.

Over five career games against the Ducks, Niemi holds a 3-2-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and .913 SV%.

Yet another important offensive player finds the shelf. Kennedy already scored a goal and three points over his first six but is now out indefinitely. Look for Steve MacIntyre to draw in or for the team to recall someone from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Wingels was a healthy scratch during Saturday's game after only posting one assist through his first two games. He could find his way out of the lineup once Martin Havlat returns.

With nine goals last season, Mitchell has shown the ability to fill the net. Through his first three games, the Montreal native already has two assists. Expect some decent interim fantasy hockey value.

Peckham is an excellent source of PIM but could be scratched tonight. Expect an update prior to gametime.
Hossa likely will be a game-time decision for tomorrow's game. He has not practiced in four days now so consider him highly questionable.

With Victor Stalberg back in the lineup and Rostislav Olesz filling in on the second line, the Blackhawks don't need to rush Smith back into the lineup. Stay tuned for a further update on the wounded winger.

In three career starts against the Coyotes, Crawford holds a 2-0-1 record with a 1.90 GAA and .922 SV%.

When Whitney does return, he will play on the top defensive pairing. Look for him to push Corey Potter out of the lineup when he makes his season debut.
As Dater notes, Mueller could be back in the lineup as soon as later this week against the Blackhawks. Expect the team to ease him back into the lineup.

Through seven appearances against the Flyers, Auld holds a 4-1-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and .900 SV%.
With Butler out of the lineup, look for Zenon Konopka and Erik Condra to stay in.

Gonchar probably misses tomorrow's game with Brian Lee drawing back into the lineup. Look for Lee to also take his PP time.

Tough luck for Kane, who was already snake-bitten over his first three games. Look for Brett MacLean to draw back into the lineup and play on a scoring role.

Eager will draw in for Darcy Hordichuk. Last season he scored seven goals and 17 points through 68 games while adding 120 PIM. If you need a boost in PIM, he could help out your squad in deeper leagues.
Whitney practicing with the the team before practice could mean he doesn't play tonight. Stay tuned for a further update from the team.
