Kuemper allowed two goals on 22 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Devils on Tuesday. He has lost each of his last three starts while allowed nine goals on 74 shots (.878 SV%) but should be able to get back on track tomorrow vs. the Sabres. Get him in your lineup and don't look back.
Perry, who has missed the last three games, was placed on IR on Sunday and it now sounds like he is going to miss a few more games with a viral infection. We will wait for official word from the Ducks after the testing results come in.
Kuemper allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Wild’s 4-1 loss in Montreal on Saturday. After a blazing start to the year, Kuemper has dropped three of his last five while posting a 3.17 GAA and .867 SV%. With veteran Niklas Backtsrom behind him and Josh Harding’s return looming around the corner, Kuemper needs to find his game before he starts yielding starts to the veterans.
Perry will miss his third consecutive game when the Ducks take on Vancouver at Honda Center. He can be eligible to return for Wednesday's home game against the Kings. Perry has 11 goals to lead the Ducks, which also tie him with Rick Nash of the New York Rangers for the NHL lead. They placed Perry on IR to make room to call-up defenseman Mat Clark from Norfolk (AHL) to help fill holes on the blue line.
Perry is expected to miss his third straight game with the flu when the Ducks welcome the Canucks on Sunday. Perry must have some pretty bad flu symptoms, because he has not been on the ice in five days.
Perry has missed the last two games and was not at Ducks’ practice on Saturday. He is struggling with the flu and it does not seem likely that he will play tomorrow vs. Vancouver. After Sunday, the Ducks are off until Wednesday, so there is a good chance he will be back for that clash with the Kings.
Forsberg allowed three goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Devils in his first NHL start. He will make his second tonight against a high-powered Lightning offence that ranks second in the NHL in scoring with 3.62 goals per game. With 12 games on the NHL schedule tonight, you can find a better spot-start.
Kuemper allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Wild’s 4-1 loss to the Penguins on Tuesday. He was given Thursday night off so he is expected to take on the Canadiens tonight in Montreal. Kuemper has not slowed down much and comes into tonight with a 6-3-0 record, 1.77 GAA and .922 SV%.

Perry missed Wednesday’s game with the flu and has not skated for the last two days. He has to be considered doubtful for tonight’s meeting with the Coyotes. We will get an update after the morning skate.
Perry missed Wednesday’s game with the flu and did not practice this afternoon, which puts his status for Friday’s game in a bit of doubt. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
There was no word earlier in the day that Perry wouldn’t play, but he is a late scratch tonight vs. the Islanders. Expect Dany Heatley to draw into the lineup. Consider him day-to-day.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game vs. the Blues with an undisclosed injury but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. He is expected to return to the wing alongside Derick Brassard and Rick Nash.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game, but was back on the ice for practice on Tuesday and is skating again today, which suggests he will be in the lineup tonight vs. Detroit. After a breakout 2013-14, he has just four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
Kuemper stopped 19 of 20 shots in a win over the Stars on Saturday. Kuemper has been great in his first eight starts of the season, posting a 6-2-0 record with a 1.62 GAA, .930 SV% and three shutouts. Despite being 5-0-0 at home so far, he is a risky start vs. a highly talented Penguins team.
Zuccarello did not skated for the last two days and missed last night's game, but he is back on the ice with the team this morning, which suggests he could be back in the lineup on Wednesday vs. the Red Wings.
Zuccarello was reportedly spotted limping around the Rangers dressing room on Sunday. He will not play tonight, so Ryan Malone will slide into the lineup, despite clearing waivers this afternoon. Consider Zuccarello day-to-day.
Zuccarello was not on the ice for the Rangers morning skate because he was "receiving treatment". If Zuccarello can't go and Ryan Malone is claimed off of waivers at noon, the Rangers will have to recall a forward from Hartford (AHL).
Zuccarello is "receiving treatment" this morning according to the Rangers. Alain Vigneault will address the media after the skate at which point we will update whether Zucc will be in the lineup tonight or not.
Kopitar missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but should be back in the lineup today vs. Carolina. He had just two goals and one assist in the first eight games, but with Gaborik also back on his wing tonight, expect both of them to get going.
