The Blackhawks recalled Vince Hinostroza from Rockford (AHL) on Friday.

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 will start in goal on Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs.

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 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 will start in goal vs. the Stars on Thursday.

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 (undisclosed) is listed as week-to-week and could miss the season opener.

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 (head) will make his preseason debut on Thursday.

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.

Fleury will start in goal for Game 4.

Fleury allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Penguins 2-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 3. The Penguins trail 2-1 in the series, but Fleury has played well thus far—he has posted a 2.36 GAA and .922 SV% in the first three games, but has only seen six goals scored in front of him. Tonight he will look to knot the series up at home, where he is 20-13-4 this season.

Fleury gave up three goals on 26 shots in the Penguins 4-3 win in Game 2. So far Fleury has allowed five goals on 64 shots (.922 SV%) in the series. Tonight the series moves to Pittsburgh tied at 1-1. Fleury was 20-12-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .919 SV% in 36 starts at CONSOL Energy Center this season.

Fleury will start Game 2 vs. the Rangers.

Fleury allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Penguins 2-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 1. Fleury played well, but the Penguins were beat-up pretty good. The lack of depth will likely hurt Fleury and the Pens, but if Fleury can outplay Lundqvist, they might have a chance to knot up the series tonight.
