Hamonic (lower-body) will return to the Flames lineup on Monday.

Hamonic returns after a three-game absence but doesn’t bring a lot of fantasy relevance to the table. He doesn’t see any power-play time because of the other talented defensemen in Calgary and comes into Monday with just one goal and one assist in 13 games with the Flames.

Talbot gets the nod Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

Talbot allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Oilers’ win in New Jersey on Thursday.

Tonight he will start his 15th game of the season, putting him on pace for 77 starts. He will take on a Rangers team that comes in riding a five-game winning streak.

Gibson (concussion protocol) is unlikely to dress as Ryan Miller's backup on Thursday.

Gibson was pulled from Tuesday’s game vs. the Kings after being hit in the mask with a shot and is still in concussion protocol. Gibson stopped 30 of 33 shots and left in a 3-3 tie and Ryan Miller eventually came in an lost in OT. Miller gets the nod Thursday with Gibson temporarily sidelined.

Compher (thumb) will likely return this weekend in Sweden.

Compher has missed the last six games with a thumb injury, but it looks like he will return this weekend during the Avs’ two-game series vs. the Senators in Sweden.
