Fleury stopped all 18 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Capitals on Wednesday. It was his second shutout of the season and 25th of his career. Tomorrow he faces the Canadiens for the first time this season. Fleury was 2-0-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .933 SV% in two starts against the Habs last year.
After he plays two games, he will be there to stay because he will have to go through waivers to get back to the AHL. The Red Wings will obviously not place him on waivers, because he would immediately be claimed. Nyquist led the Grand Rapids Griffins with 21 points (7G / 14A) in 15 games. Hopefully the talented forward sparks the Red Wings quiet offence. Expect him to skate on a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen.
Gustav Nyquist earned a spot on the Detroit Red Wings' roster based on his performance last season but was a victim of the salary cap and the club's roster squeeze. Nyquist leads the Griffins with 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 15 games. Once he plays two more NHL games, he is here to stay, because he would then need to pass through waivers to be sent back to the AHL. Perhaps Nyquist will play on a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen, since there was an open space there in practice Wednesday.
Nyquist has been in the AHL as a victim of a numbers game in Detroit. They are pressed up against the cap, but only have 11 healthy forwards right now and with Danny DeKeyser landing on Long Term IR there is room for Nyquist to be called up. In 15 games with Grand Rapids Nyquist has seven goals and 21 points which is tied for fourth in the league.
Fleury stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 win over the Ducks on Monday. The win moved him to 3-4-0 with a 2.30 GAA and .913 SV% in the month on November. Tonight he takes on Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals - he was 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .944 SV% vs. Washington last season.

"He has a moderate groin strain and so he's more week-to-week right now," Noel told reporters Sunday morning. "That's pretty much where he's at. How many weeks? We'll just deal with week-to-week. We have to see how it progresses and stuff like that." Bogosian was hurt during the second period of Winnipeg's 3-2 shootout win over Philadelphia Friday evening. With Bogosian out, defenceman Zach Redmond made his first regular-season NHL appearance since he suffered a horrifying cut to his femoral artery during practice on Feb. 21. But while Redmond drew into the lineup, it was Keaton Ellerby who took Bogosian's customary position with Toby Enstrom against the Wild.
Hartman, 19, was the Blackhawks first round pick (30th overall) in this year's NHL Entry Draft. The 5-foot-11, 181 lbs. forward had 60 points (23G / 37A), a plus-29 rating and 120 PIMs in 56 games with the Plymouth Whalers last season. In 2013-14 he has 21 points (10G / 11A), a minus-14 rating and 38 PIMs in 20 games with Plymouth.
Fleury allowed three goals on 21 shots in a loss to the Devils on Saturday. Fleury has lost four of his last five starts with a 2.63 GAA and .889 SV%. He will take on a Ducks team who is also on a losing skid, he should make for a solid start.

Fleury gave up one goal on 18 shots in an easy win over the Predators on Friday. After a calm night in the cage he will go again tonight vs. New Jersey. Fleury posted a shutout in his first start against the Devils this season, roll him tonight.
Bogosian will return to Winnipeg where he will be reevaluated. Head coach Claude Noel hinted that his injury could be more serious than a day-to-day issue. There will be a more detailed injury report after he is evaluated on Sunday. This is a tough break for Bogosian, who had stared playing his best hockey of the season.
Bogosian played just 12:32 before departing for the dressing room for the night. The Jets have not announced what Bogosian is dealing with, but recalled Julian Melchiori in case Bogosian can not play tomorrow. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Sunday.
Merrill skated for the first time on Friday and is back at it today. He was injured after playing just 1:16 in his first NHL game on November 3. He needs to be cleared for contact before a clear timetable is established for Merrill.
Fleury surrendered two goals on 21 shots in a loss to the Flyers on Wednesday. He played well but the Penguins were shutdown by Ray Emery the loss was his third in his last three starts. Expect Fleury to get back in the win column tonight with the Predators in town.

Fleury surrendered two goals on 32 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Blues on Saturday. It was his second straight loss and moved him to 10-4-0 with a 2.07 GAA and .921 SV% on the season. Tonight he takes on a Flyers team who are on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Fleury was not at his best on Wednesday. He allowed five goals on 25 shots in a rare blowout loss for the Penguins. Tonight he will face a gritty Blues team and the NHL's leading scorer Alex Steen (14). Fleury is not the greatest backstop, but he should receive plenty of goal support on a regular basis, making him a consistent strong fantasy play.
Fleury allowed two goals on 39 shots in a win over the Blue Jackets on Friday. He continues to help the Penguins to wins; he has posted a 1.83 GAA and .929 SV% en route to a 10-2-0 record. He has a solid matchup against a low-scoring Rangers team.
Merrill was injured in his NHL debut and the Devils will continue to do tests to determine if he suffered a concussion. Merrill is out indefinitely until a timetable is released.
