Allen gave up three goals on 39 shots in the Blues' loss in Columbus on November 15th. Jordan Binnington started the last four games but they'll get Allen a game on Monday night. The 29-year-old is 3-0-1 with a 2.93 GAA and .904 SV% in four road games this season and the Predators have surprisingly lost five in a row while scoring just 2.40 goals per game at home.

Rodrigues left Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury and is questionable to play Monday.

Rodrigues played just 0:40 TOI in Sunday's win over the Panthers, which left the Sabres with just 10 forwards after dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. With Rodrigues hurt, the Sabres recalled J-S Dea from Rochester on Monday morning and he will likely make his season debut in Rodrigues' place.

Evan Rodrigues
Mantha left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and will not play on Sunday.

Head coach Jeff Blashill didn't have much of an update on Mantha but did say that "he definitely won't play (Sunday)" and that he'll be "out for a little bit of time." With Adam Erne also hurt, the Red Wings will likely need to recall a forward for Sunday's game or dress seven defensemen.

Rittich will start Tuesday vs. the Avalanche.

Rittich allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flames loss in Arizona on Saturday. Cam Talbot started twice last week but the schedule sets up for Rittich to start all three games this week. In his first start vs. Colorado, he allowed four goals on 31 shots in a 5-3 loss, but Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog were healthy for that game.

Hellebuyck will start Tuesday in Nashville.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Jets win in Tampa Bay on Saturday. Hellebuyck has gone 4-1-1 with a 2.13 GAA and .937 SV% in November and will make his league-high 17th start of the season on Tuesday. The Jets are scoring a lot more on the road but also giving up a lot more offence, leading to Hellebuyck going 4-2-0 with a 3.28 GAA and .912 SV% in six road outings.

Hellebuyck starts Saturday in Tampa Bay.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Jets loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. The loss moved Hellebuyck to 3-1-1 with a 1.96 GAA and .942 SV% in five November starts and today he will make his 16th start of the season. He's had a tough time on the road, going 3-2-0 with a 3.35 GAA and .912 SV% in five games.

Rittich will start Saturday in Arizona.

Rittich allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flames loss to the Blues last Saturday. With Cam Talbot starting vs. the Stars on Tuesday, it has been a full week since Rittich's last game. He stopped 34 of 37 shots in a come-from-behind overtime win in his first start vs. Arizona.

Allen will start Friday in Columbus.

Allen allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Blues win in Edmonton on November 6th. Allen doesn’t get a lot of playing time but has played well as of late, winning two in a row while stopping 52 of the 57 shots (.912 SV%) that he faced. He draws a pretty nice spot-start matchup on Friday—the Blue Jackets have lost three straight while scoring just two goals in their last three home games.

Boqvist will be back in the Devils lineup on Friday.

Boqvist has bounced in-and-out of the New Jersey lineup early-on, appearing in just six games total. The 2017 No.36 overall pick put up strong numbers in Sweden last season but is still searching for his first career NHL point. On Friday, he will skate with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.
