Gaunce, 21, had one goal and one assist in five games with Utica this season. With Brandon Prust out for at least the next two games, Gaunce has been recalled and could make his NHL debut on the road-trip.
Fleury gave up one goal on 39 shots in the Penguins 2-1 overtime win over the Predators on Saturday. After losing his first three starts of the year, Fleury has turned it around winning four of his last five while posting a 1.60 GAA and .944 SV%. He will be in tough this evening vs. a Washington squad averaging 4.14 goals per game.
Hinostroza had no points and four shots in four games since being recalled. Hinostroza has been returned to the AHL, which suggests that Bryan Bickell will be back in the lineup on Thursday in Winnipeg.
Foligno was held out of Saturday’s game vs. New Jersey, but was back at practice this morning and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Foligno has three assists in seven games this season.
Fleury allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Penguins loss to Dallas on Thursday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Fleury, who sits 3-4-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .924 SV% on the season. He will look to record his first road win of the season tonight, but it will not be easy as he gets set to face the 6-1-0 Predators.
Fleury allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Penguins win over the Panthers on Tuesday. He has won three in a row, allowing just three goals on 82 shots (.963 SV%). Fleury has been excellent this season and it is only a matter of time before the Penguins find their offence and give him some goal support.
Fleury allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Penguins 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Fleury has now won two in a row and sits at 2-3-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .937 SV% in five starts. The wins should start to flood in when the Penguins finally find their offence.
Merrill will be held out of the lineup on Sunday afternoon because of an illness. Eric Gelinas will get back into the lineup with Merrill sidelined.
Hinostroza, 21, was a sixth round pick (169th overall) in 2012. The 5-foot-9, 180 lbs. forward had 44 points (11G / 33A) in 42 games at the University of Notre Dame last year, before moving to the AHL. In seven career games for Rockford, he totalled three assists. He will make his NHL debut tonight vs. Columbus.
Fleury stopped all 22 shots that he faced in the Penguins’ shutout win over the Senators on Thursday. It was Fleury’s first win of the season and the 39th shutout of his career. For some reason the Penguins have struggled mightily to score this season, but that could change tonight vs. a Maple Leafs team that is giving up 3.50 goals per game.
Fleury allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Penguins loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday. The Penguins have opened the season on a three-game losing streak, but will go back to Fleury tonight vs. Ottawa. Fleury comes in with a 2.73 GAA and .914 SV% on the young season.
Bogosian has missed the first three games of the season but returned to the ice on Wednesday which is a big step in his return to the lineup. Bogosian was listed as week-to-week and he remains without a firm timetable for return.
Fleury allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Penguins’ 2-1 loss to the Coyotes on Saturday. Fleury has played pretty well through two games, but he is still looking for his first win of the season. Fleury struggled against the Canadiens last season, but he was a strong 20-12-4 with a 2.42 GAA And .919 SV% at home.
Fleury allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Penguins 3-0 loss to the Stars on Thursday. Nights where Fleury doesn’t get goal support will be few and far between. He should get some help tonight as they draw a strong matchup against the Coyotes, who played last night.
Fleury comes into 2015-16 having won at least 34-plus games in each of the last six full NHL seasons. Fleury has a career 2.59 GAA, but hasn’t posted a GAA over 2.39 in each of the last five seasons. He is as steady of a fantasy hockey goalie as you will find and plays behind of the strongest offences in hockey. However, he draws one of the other really good offences in Dallas tonight.
Bogosian has had an incredibly difficult time staying healthy throughout his career. He missed 20 games last season and a combined 96 games over the last three seasons. He played massive minutes (26:34 TOI/GM) with the Sabres last year and is expected to be leaned o heavily this year. His absence means the Sabres will lead to increased roles for the likes of Rasmus Ristolainen and Cody Franson.
Zuccarello will play in his first game since April 24th after suffering a skull fracture. Zuccarello had 15 goals and 34 assists (49 points) in 78 games and two assists in five playoff games before he suffered the injury. The 28-year-0ld has been a consistent point producer over the last two seasons and should approach 50 points again this season.
