Andersen made 38 saves on 39 shots in the Maple Leafs' win in Vancouver on Tuesday. It was a brilliant outing for Andersen, who has won six of his last eight while posting a 1.88 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he'll take on a Flames team that is riding a six-game winning streak while scoring 4.00 goals per game.

Primeau allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Canadiens' 3-2 loss to the Avalanche. Last Thursday. It was a solid NHL debut for the 20-year-old, who will make his second career start Wednesday vs. Ottawa. The Senators have surprised a lot of people this season and have played well on the road lately, winning six of their last seven while scoring 3.43 goals per game.

Kotkaniemi has missed the last two games with a concussion and there's no timetable for his return. His move to IR opens up a roster spot to call-up Ryan Poehling from Laval for Wednesday's game vs. the Senators.

Andersen made 26 saves on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs win in St. Louis on Saturday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Andersen, who is 5-2-0 with a 2.01 GAA, .933 SV% and one shutout since the coaching change. Tonight he faces a Canucks team that is 7-3-3 while scoring 4.15 goals per game in 13 home games this season.

Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs' loss to the Avalanche on Wednesday. After starting 4-0 under Sheldon Keefe, Andersen has lost two straight while allowing seven goals on 57 shots (.877 SV%). Tonight he faces the Blues for the second time this season--he allowed three goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 loss in the first meeting (Oct.7).

Kotkaniemi suffered a concussion in an awkward collision with Nikita Zadorov on Thursday and will not play Thursday vs. the Rangers. With Kotkaniemi out, Charles Hudon is expected to draw back into the Canadiens lineup.

Robinson played just 6:50 TOI in Tuesday's loss to the Coyotes and will be replaced by Emil Bemstrom in the lineup on Thursday.

Andersen allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs' 6-1 loss in Philadelphia last night. Despite head coach Sheldon Keefe saying Michael Hutchinson would start Wednesday earlier in the week, it looks as if Andersen will be between the pipes again. Normally he's a top-end option but starting two nights in a row and facing a Colorado team that is getting healthy and has won three straight while scoring 16 goals (5.33 goals per game) makes him a low-end option tonight.

Robinson was called up from Cleveland on Sunday and will replace Emil Bemstrom in the lineup on Tuesday. Robinson has five points (3G / 2A) in 14 AHL games and three goals in seven NHL games this season.

Primeau, 20, was a seventh-round pick of the Canadiens in 2017. After two years at Northeastern University, he turned pro this year and is 7-4-1 with a 2.58 GAA and .910 SV%. Primeau could make his NHL debut during the Habs' back-to-back on Thursday/Friday.

Andersen stopped 29 of 30 shots in Toronto's overtime win over the Sabres on Saturday. Since the coaching change, Andersen has gone 4-0-0 while posting a 1.24 GAA, .959 SV% and one shutout. As good as he's been, tonight he takes on a Flyers team that was the best in the NHL in November, going 10-2-4 while scoring 2.88 goals per game.

Fast was banged up in Saturday's game in New Jersey but ended up finishing the game. Head coach David Quinn called him a game-time decision but his lack of offence makes him a low-end fantasy asset regardless.

Reilly played in three straight games, picking up two assists, but will be replaced by Gustav Olofsson on the blueline on Saturday.

Andersen stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs shutout win in Detroit on Wednesday. Andersen has now won three in a row while stopping 89 of 93 shots (.957 SV%).
