Detroit Red Wings News

Arvidsson has not played in nearly two weeks, but will return to the lineup in Boston's final game before the Holiday Break. The 32-year-old Arvidsson is averaging 14:15 time-on-ice and has 14 points (7G / 7A) in 25 games this season.

Arvidsson has not played in nearly two weeks, but will be a game-time decision to return to the lineup in Boston's final game before the Holiday Break. The 32-year-old Arvidsson is averaging 14:15 time-on-ice and has 14 points (7G / 7A) in 25 games this season. Michael Eyssimont will be the odd man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch.

The Red Wings are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and can attribute much of their recent success to the stellar play of Gibson between the pipes. The 32-year-old Gibson started his tenure with the Red Wings poorly, but he is starting to look like the goalie the team hoped for when they acquired him in the offseason. Gibson has won seven straight while posting an excellent 2.05 GAA and .934 SV%. The Red Wings enter the action on Tuesday as +112 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars team on a four-game winning streak.

Detroit is coming off a 4-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth, but they have been excellent lately when relying on John Gibson, who will return to the crease on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The 32-year-old Gibson struggled early in his tenure with the Red Wings, but is sporting an exceptional 1.65 GAA and .946 SV% in his last five games (5-0-0).

The Panthers have won two straight and hope to continue inching themselves closer to playoff contention, turning to Tarasov to tend the twine on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 26-year-old Tarasov has been inconsistent this season and is coming off a game in which he allowed six goals on 42 shots (.857 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. He has a 2.84 GAA and .903 SV% in 10 games this season (3-5-1). The Panthers enter the action on Wednesday as -140 home favorites against a Kings team that has scored the fewest goals in the NHL since the beginning of November.

The Red Wings acquired Gibson in the offseason to stabilize an inconsistent crease over the past few seasons, but early in his tenure, he had provided the opposite. That said, the 32-year-old veteran goalie appears to be turning a corner, winning five straight outings while recording a 2.05 GAA, .940 SV%, and two shutouts. The Red Wings hope Gibson can stay hot, entering Tuesday's contest as -128 home favorites against a New York Islanders team that has won six of their last seven (6-1-0).

The Bruins have had trouble staying healthy this season, with new players being injured seemingly as soon as another returns to the lineup. Arvidsson has already missed seven games this season due to injuries and returns to the sidelines with a lower-body ailment. The 32-year-old Arvidsson has been productive in a middle-six role for the Bruins this season, tallying 14 points (7G / 7A) and 65 shots in 25 games.

Coming off a 4-3 win over the Utah Mammoth yesterday, the Panthers will turn to Tarasov on the tail end of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. Tarasov has had an up-and-down season, but is coming off arguably his best performance as a Panther, saving 20 of 21 shots (.952 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old goalie has a 2.47 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances this season (3-4-1). The Panthers enter the action on Thursday as significant +201 road underdogs against an Avalanche team that sits atop the NHL with only two regulation losses (21-2-7).
