Edler will miss his 11th consecutive game today after suffering a knee injury on December 3. Edler has had a disappointing season recording just nine points (3G / 6A) with a minus-12 rating in 27 games. He likely won't return for at least another 10 days.
Haula has collected two assists and a plus-3 rating in 10 games with Minnesota this season. The 5-foot-11, 192-pound has tallied 14 points (7G / 7A) in 20 games with Iowa this season. The 22-year-old ranks tied for first on the team with four power-play goals, and third in goals and scoring.
Haula has recorded 14 points (7-7=14) in 20 games with Iowa this season. The 22-year-old ranks tied for first on the team in scoring and power-play goals with four, is tied for second in goals and tied for third in assists. He recorded an assist in his NHL debut on November 29 vs. Colorado and has two assists in six games with Minnesota this season.
Ceci was the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old is in his first full season with Binghamton and has two goals and 15 assists in 24 games. He is a great defensive prospect and is known for both his offensive and defensive prowess. He is a great power-play guy, but likely won't be with the Senators long enough to garner fantasy value. He will play for Marc Methout, who is out with the flu.
Dumoulin was the 51st overall pick by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2009 NHL Draft. He is currently in his second year with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL) after spending three years at Boston College. The 6-foot-3, 200 lbs. defenseman has one goal and five assists in 22 games this season. With Pittsburgh down three starting D-men, Dumoulin could make his NHL debut tonight.
Edler was injured in Tuesday's win over the Predators and will not play Friday. Andrew Alberts will suit up with Edler on the shelf. He has struggled this season posting just three goals and six assists with a minus-12 rating in 27 games.
Haula is tied for 2nd on Iowa with 10 points (4G / 6A) in 18 games this season. The 5-foot-11, 192-pound forward is expected to make his NHL debut tonight as the Minnesota hosts Colorado. The 22-year-old totaled two assists in six games with Houston (AHL) last season and two points in five playoff contests.
It says "Probable" but that is not the case, we will update when the Wild confirm Harding or Kuemper. This is simply an heads up.
Kuemper has appeared in one game for Minnesota this season, he allowed three goals on seven shots (5.63 GAA / .571 SV%) in a loss. He is 3-7-0 with a 2.97 GAA and .908 SV% with Iowa this season.
Perry was a gametime decision, but will be in the lineup. This is good news for the Ducks who will be without Ryan Getzlaf. Perry is fourth in the NHL with 11 goals and sixth with 22 points.
Ryan Getzlaf missed the last two games and could be out again tonight, so if Perry can't go the Ducks will be without their two leading scorers. Consider him a game-time decision.
Zuccarello has struggled, recording no points in seven games.
Kuemper allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled on Tuesday.
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight will be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will probably be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight would be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts.
Niklas Backstrom is out with a knee injury so Kuemper gets called up to backup Josh Harding. The WIld have back-to-back games tonight and tomorrow, so Kuemper could get the start tomorrow.
Edler will be eligible to return next Saturday in Pittsburgh.
At approximately 19:46 of the second period, Edler collied with Sharks forward Tomas Hertl near the Vancouver bench, resulting in Hertl losing his helmet. There was no penalty called on the play and Hertl skated a regular shift in the third period.
Kuemper appeared in two preseason games with the Wild this year and stopped all 18 shots faced in 47:12 of action. The 23-year-old went 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .916 save percentage (SV%)in six regular season games (three starts) with Minnesota last season.
Laughton, 19, made the team out of training camp for a second consecutive season, but unlike last season, when he played five games in the NHL before going back to juniors, he was a healthy scratch for the season opener. “Scott was sent back to Oshawa today,” said general manager Paul Holmgren. “We felt this was the right thing to do for Scott and for the Flyers as it relates to his development.”
