Gaudreau has been in the Predators lineup for the last five games and has just three assists in 17 games with the Predators this season. His return to the AHL suggests that either Ryan Johansen or Scott Hartnell will be back in the Predators lineup on Wednesday.
Grubauer stopped all 18 shots that he faced replacing Braden Holtby in the Capitals loss in Brooklyn last night. The Capitals may go back to Grubauer tonight after another strong outing. In his last three appearances, Grubauer has turned away 66 of 68 shots (.971 SV%). Don’t expect the Capitals to announce a starter until they get to the rink closer to game time.
Murray will miss his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for the Penguins morning skate, so he is definitely getting close. Murray could be back in the Penguins crease on Thursday and could go head-to-head with Marc-Andre Fleury in Vegas.
Dunn was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Robert Bortuzzo in the lineup tonight. Dunn has two goals and four assists (six points) in 26 games this season.
Stephenson was not on the ice for the Capitals morning skate and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Stephenson out, Travis Boyd has been recalled and will make his NHL debut vs. the Sharks.
Grubauer allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Capitals’ win over the Lightning on November 24th. Despite Braden Holtby playing very well recently, Grubauer will start tonight vs. the Sharks. He is coming off of his first win of the year and San Jose comes in ranked third last in the NHL in scoring, averaging just 2.56 goals for per game.
After a one-game absence with a hyperextended elbow, Montour is expected to replace the traded Sami Vatanen in the lineup on Friday. Vatanen’s exit makes Montour a more appealing fantasy asset and he comes into tonight with 13 points (6G / 7A) in 24 games this season.
The hits keep coming of the struggling Oilers, who lost their No.1 goaltender earlier in the week and now lose a top-pairing D-man. It’s unclear when Larsson sustained the injury, but for the time being they will re-insert Eric Gryba into the lineup and not recall anyone from the AHL.
