Glendening missed the Red Wings’ morning skate due to an illness and is listed as questionable for tonight’s game. Glendening has just two goals on the season, so he can’t be counted on in fantasy circles.
Elliott surrendered two goals on 38 shots in the Blues win over the Flames on December 19th. Jake Allen started last night, so Elliott will go tonight in Dallas. Elliott has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.64 GAA and .904 SV%, but should be avoided tonight because of the horrible matchup with the NHL’s highest scoring offence.

Girgensons remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight vs. the Blues.
Girgensons was held out of the lineup on Tuesday and is expected to miss at least the next two games with an undisclosed injury. With Girgensons out, look for Tim Schaller to remain in the lineup.
Elliott allowed two goals on 16 shots after replacing Jake Allen in the Blues’ loss in New Your last Thursday.

Girgensons missed Monday’s practice and was not on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate which suggests that he will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. If Girgensons can’t go, look for Tim Schaller to get back into the lineup.
