Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight. He skated with Sidney Crosby this morning, so if he plays, make sure you get him back in your lineup. He has registered 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games this season.
Greiss was pulled after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the Islanders’ blowout loss in Columbus on Saturday. He ended up going 5-5-0 with a 3.16 GAA And .891 SV% in February—a significantly worse month than January. Greiss posted a 23-save shutout in his only start against the Stars this season.
Sheary continues to inch closer to a return to the Penguins’ lineup, but it won’t happen tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He has been sidelined since the final day of January and will now eye a Friday return vs. Tampa Bay.
Zibanejad was a late scratch from last night’s game due to a hand injury, but the Rangers are hopeful that he will be able to play on Thursday. Monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.
Pouliot has spent the majority of the year with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he has registered five goals and nine assists (14 points) in 32 games this season. The 23-year-old had 14 points (2G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games and could be in the lineup on Wednesday because the Penguins are dealing with a multitude of injuries on the back-end.
Quick allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Kings’ win over the Ducks on Saturday. It was an impressive return to the crease for Quick, who will have a new backup tonight after the Kings acquired Ben Bishop. Quick draws a rough matchup tonight in Minnesota—the Wild have gone 21-8-1 on home ice this season.

Quick stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Kings’ season opener before leaving with a groin injury. Quick has missed the last four and a half months, but will make his return to the crease today vs. the Ducks. Quick is one of fantasy hockey’s top netminders and went 40-23-5 with a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% in 2015-16.
Quick has been sidelined since the season opener by a groin injury, but General Manager Dean Lombardi said it’s “possible” that Quick is activated from IR and starts this afternoon’s game. Don’t expect to hear about Quick’s status until just before this afternoon’s 4p.m. ET puck-drop.
Calvin Pickard has played well recently, so the Avalanche likely want to allow Martin to get some games in with San Antonio while Pickard starts with the big club. He has swapped places with Jeremy Smith and goes to the Rampage with a 15-10-0 record, 2.72 GAA and .912 SV% in 28 games.
Quick faced some shots and is stretching on the ice for the first time since getting hurt in mid-October. Quick isn’t expected to be back until March and this is the first step in his recovery.
Martin allowed five goals on 26 shots in Colorado’s loss to San Jose on January 23rd. Martin allowed eight goals on 56 shots (.857 SV%) in his first two NHL starts—both vs. San Jose. Martin will make his third appearance tonight and will come against a Kings team that also played last night.
Sheary was hurt during Tuesday’s win over the Predators and will miss at least one month. This is a tough break for the young winger, who has built up a great chemistry with Sidney Crosby this season. Sheary is third on the Penguins in goals (17) and his injury should allow Chris Kunitz or Jake Guentzel to move to the top line.
Martin gave up three goals on 30 shots in an overtime loss in his NHL debut in San Jose on Saturday. It was a pretty good debut for the 21-year-old, who will get another crack at the Sharks tonight. Despite playing well on Saturday, it is difficult to trust a rookie netminder against an offence with as much firepower as San Jose possesses.
Martin, 21, was a third round pick (No.63 overall) in 2013 and will make his NHL debut tonight in San Jose. Martin comes to the NHL after going 15-9-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .915 SV% in 27 games with San Antonio (AHL) this season, but will be a risky spot-start tonight.

Zibanejad missed the last 26 games with a broken fibula, but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Zibanejad centred the second line with Pavel Buchnevich and Rick Nash on his wings and enters Tuesday with five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 19 games.
The Blackhawks have a tough salary-cap situation, which is why they couldn’t give more term to Panarin. The young Russian winger has picked up 15 goals and 22 assists (37 points) in 37 games this season and has 114 points (45G / 69A) in 117 career NHL games.
