Reimer stopped 20 of 22 shots in the Panthers win over the Islanders on Wednesday. Reimer finally recorded his first win of the season and earned himself another start in New Jersey this afternoon. Reimer is 1-0-1 with a 2.93 GAA and .883 SV% in two starts and two relief appearances on the road this season.

Dowling recorded an assist in his season debut on Tuesday, playing extremely well on the Stars second line. They will reward him with a chance to play with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn tonight vs. the Ducks. Dowling had six points (2G / 4A) in seven games with Texas (AHL) before being called-up.

Korpisalo gave up four goals on 41 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Florida on October 11th. Korpisalo has won each of his two starts this season, allowing six goals on the 61 shots (.902 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces his third start against a Blues team that is currently tied for 16th in the NHL in scoring (3.13 GF/PG).

Reimer stopped the only two shots that he faced after replacing Michael Hutchinson in last night’s loss in New York. Reimer has struggled this season, posting a 3.91 GAA and .870 SV% in his first five appearances. Tonight he will try and record his first win of the season against an Islanders team that is 22nd in the NHL in scoring (2.86 GF/PG).

Vaakanainen was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in Ottawa after getting elbowed in the face by Mark Borowiecki. Borowiecki will face supplemental discipline from the NHL for the hit.

Dowling has recorded two goals and four assists (six points) in seven games with Texas this season. The 28-year-old centre has registered just two assists in nine career NHL games.

Vaakanainen, 19, has registered two assists in six games with Providence so far this season. The 2017 first round pick (No.18 overall) could draw into the lineup in Vancouver after being called-up on an emergency basis, suggesting someone is hurt.

Reimer allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Panthers loss to the Canucks last Saturday. Reimer has struggled since taking over for Roberto Luongo, allowing a combined eight goals on 62 shots (.871 SV%) in his first two starts. Things don’t get any easier tonight. Washington is tied for second in the NHL in goal-scoring (4.00 GF/PG) through six games.

As expected, the rookie defenseman will draw back into the Red Wings lineup in Montreal. Cholowski has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will replace Danny DeKeyser in tonight’s lineup. He has one goal and two assists in his first three games of his career. Look for him to log massive minutes tonight after averaging 22:10 TOI/GM so far.

Cholowski has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but is expected to play on Monday. Jeff Blashill wouldn’t go as far as to confirm Cholowski’s return, but he would replace Danny DeKeyser if he does play. The rookie defenseman has had a great start to his NHL career, picking up one goal on five shots and two assists in three games.

Reimer allowed five goals on 32 shots in the Panthers loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. It was a tough start to the season for Reimer, who is standing in as the Panthers’ No.1 netminder while Roberto Luongo is out. Tonight he will take on a Canucks team that has started 2-2-0 while averaging 4.00 goals per game.

Cholowski missed Thursday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and will not play vs. the Bruins on Saturday. Cholowski was on the ice for Friday’s practice, but skated on the “fourth-pair.” Head coach Jeff Blashill suggests that Cholowski “might play Monday.”

Reimer allowed one goal on 16 shots after replacing Roberto Luongo in the Panthers’ shootout loss last Saturday. With Luongo out, Reimer will take over as Florida’s No.1 netminder going forward. Tonight the Panthers host a Blue Jackets team that is 2-1-0 while averaging 3.00 goals for in their first three games.

Korpisalo stopped 18 of 20 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Detroit last Thursday. Bobrovsky recorded a win over the Avalanche on Tuesday, but the Blue Jackets will go with Korpisalo in Florida tonight. The 24-year-old was 2-6-1 with a 4.11 GAA and .872 SV% on the road last season.

Cholowski has been great for the Red Wings so far, scoring one goal with two assists while averaging 22:10 TOI/GM in his first three NHL contests. There’s no word when the rookie defenseman suffered the injury, but he will be replaced by Niklas Kronwall vs. Toronto on Thursday.

The Blue Jackets open their season with a back-to-back in Detroit and Carolina, so they will save Sergei Bobrovsky for the home opener and the tougher matchup. Korpisalo didn’t see a lot of work in 2018 and his numbers didn’t warrant many more starts—he finished the year with a 3.32 GAA and .897 SV% in just 18 starts.
