Tarasenko was hit hard on Wednesday and suffered a concussion. He has been placed on IR and like all concussions they are very unpredictable. It appears Tarasenko is going to miss at least a week but monitor his status in the next couple of days.
Fleury has won his last three starts and after getting a night off yesterday he will be back between the pipes tomorrow vs. Florida. This is a great matchup for Fleury and he is a must-start. Roll him with confidence.
Fleury posted a 1.50 GAA and .945 SV% in his last two starts and has a good matchup this afternoon vs. the Sabres.
Spurgeon has been moved back to the top D-pair with Ryan Suter for the first time since returning from injury. The increased minutes should give him ample chances to produce.
Fleury has been excellent lately winning 4 of his last 5. In those 5 starts he has a 2.02 GAA and .924 SV%, he is a must-start in all formats, especially tonight vs. the Jets.
Bogosian will make his season debut tonight vs. Pittsburgh. He will play on the Jets 2nd D-pairing with Ron Hainsey. Bogosian had 30 points in 65 last year so he could be a good waiver wire pickup for the rest of this season.
This is great news for the Jets, Bogosian had 5 G, 25 A, -3 and 117 hits in 65 games last season. The young blueliner will be a welcomed return to a Jets blueline that already has Tobias Enstrom (2G, 11A, -3, 6PPP) and Dustin Byfuglien (3G, 4A, +1, 4PPP). Bogosian will likely take a few games to get back into game shape but he would be a good pickup because of his offensive upside.
Fleury had his 3 game-winning streak snapped in his last outing vs. the Devils. The Penguins come into tonight's game having lost back-to-back 3-1 games vs. New Jersey. After stumbling out of the gate Fleury has found his game as of late and is starting to see the majority of starts over Vokoun. Tonight will be his fourth start in the Pens last five games.
Matt Kassian was sent down to the AHL in order for Spurgeon to come off of IR. Spurgeon will be paired with Justin Falk and Nate Prosser will be scratched. Spurgeon has 1 assist in 3 games this season.
Spurgeon has not played since January 22, it is likely that he will re-join Ryan Suter on the WIld's top-D pairing. Spurgeon won't be back tonight but should be back soon.
He was a healthy scratch in the Capitals last game vs. the Panthers so it is unknown how the injury happened but his day-to-day tag would indicate that the injury isn't serious. MJ90 has had a hard time staying in the Capitals lineup this year which has destroyed whatever fantasy value he had.
Right when Fleury started started to lose some starts to Vokoun he found his game. This will be his third consecutive and 4th start in the Penguins last 5. He deserves the start since he has won 3 straight posting 1.67 GAA and .933 SV% in those contests. Fleury is one of the NHL's best netminders and you play him whenever he plays.
Fleury played well enough against the Islanders to earn him his second straight start tonight. He has now won each of his last two starts posting a 1.50 GAA and .940 SV%. Looks like he is back on track and is going to need to keep it up if he wants to keep his #1 job, because Vokoun is playing great.
Spurgeon who was just recently placed on IR missed another practice today. No timetable has been set for his return. Jonas Brodin will continue to play alongside Ryan Suter while Spurgeon is out.
Fleury wasn't busy in his last start against the Devils only making 15 saves on 16 shots. He has been alternating starts with Vokoun this season and has actually been outplayed by the veteran Vokoun. Fleury goes up against the Islanders who he allowed 4 goals on 17 shots on January 29.
Fleury is coming off of his worst performance of the season and if Vokoun keeps playing the way he has been playing Fleury is going to continue to lose starts. Fleury better pick his play up before he is the #2 in Pittsburgh.
Tonight will mark the 5th straight game that Spurgeon has missed. However being back skating is a good sign that his return is not far off.
Brodin has only played two games in his NHL career and he is already being moved up to the Wild's top pair in the absence of Jared Spurgeon. If Brodin can play well while Spurgeon is out of the lineup he could stay on that top pair in the future.
MJ90 isn't fantasy relevant until he gets back into the Capitals lineup and proves he can stay there.
Fleury had been alternating starts with Vokoun but it looks like Fleury still remains the #1 goalie in Pittsburgh as he will get his first back-to-back start of the year tonight against the Islanders. Fleury is a great start because the Penguins can score with the best of them. Start him with confidence.
