Stay tuned for a further update on the team's number one right wing.
Following a strong preseason, Chipchura loses all of his fantasy hockey value.
MacArthur could have gone under the knife which would have sidelined him for a number of weeks. Instead, the team's doctors caught the infliction on time which means he will be back in the lineup tomorrow.
Through 13 career starts against the Sharks, Hiller holds a 4-8-0 record with a 2.39 GAA, .928 SV% and one shutout.
Look for Matt Barkowski to take his lineup spot. Considering McQuaid plays third pairing minutes with no PP time, don't expect any fantasy hockey impact.
Niemi will return either tomorrow or Monday night which is a welcome sign for fantasy hockey owners.
Colin White likely will need a few games off as the season wears on so Vandermeer will keep him fresh. The 31-year-old will play in one of the two games.
Over eight career starts against the Wild, Howard holds a 6-1-1 record, 2.19 GAA and .913 SV%.
Just a maintenance day for Stuart. If he was unable to play, the Red Wings would need to call up another defenseman, effectively sending down Brendan Smith.
In four career appearances against the Flyers, Quick holds a 2-1-0 record with a 1.43 GAA, .949 SV% and one shutout.
Whitney practiced with his expected partner today, an indication he may play in their next game. Last season, the former fifth overall pick scored two goals and 27 points over 35 games, leading to an inflated ADP. He should produce around 40 points for the Oilers but should not be expected to rise to an elite level until fully healthy.
Eberle takes Ales Hemsky's spot on the top line or now the kid line. In his first two games, Eberle has contributed an assist but could certainly benefit from a bump in responsibility.
Omark skated on the third line today, an indication he is once again healthy. In his one game played, he registered no points with three shots on goal. He will look to improve on last year's totals -- five goals and 27 points with a minus-16 rating.
Look for Lydman to help man the top pairing and push Nate Guenin out of the lineup in the process. The Finnish defender scored three goals and 25 points last season while sporting a plus-32 rating. He could rack up the plus/minus again if he proves healthy and stays with the Corey Perry- Bobby Ryan - Ryan Getzlaf troika.
In his only career start against the Ducks, Greiss lost in overtime after stopping 25 of 29 shots faced.
Through his first two games this season, Butler was held scoreless with a minus-1 rating. Look for Zenon Konopka or Erik Condra to replace him on the fourth line.
Through 10 career appearances against the Caps, Auld sports a 3-5-1 record with a 2.64 GAA, .900 SV% and one shutout.
Through his first four games, the Ste. Catherine, Quebec native registered three assists. Considering he missed 71 games last season Latendresse should be expected to take some time off.
Over eight career appearances against the Red Wings, Harding holds a 2-4-1 record with a 3.59 GAA and .901 SV%.
If Brassard does play, it will be on the third line. The former 6th overall pick was held scoreless over four games with a minus-1 rating. One of him, Maksim Mayorov or Ryan Johansen will be scratched tomorrow against the Stars.
