Hill stopped 31 of 33 shots in a 3-1 loss in Dallas in his NHL debut on Tuesday. It was a strong debut for the 21-year-old rookie netminder, earning him a second straight start to kick-off his NHL career. The Coyotes are still searching for their first win of the season, but will be in tough vs. the Stars again tonight.
Hill was a third-round pick (No.76 overall) in 2015 and tonight he is expected to make his NHL debut in Dallas. The 21-year-old netminder was 16-14-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .906 SV% in 40 AHL games last year and has stopped 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) this season. He is an extremely risky option vs. the Stars

Hill, 21, was a third round pick in 2015 (No.76 overall) and appeared in 40 games with the Roadrunners last season. The Canadian netminder posted a 3.16 GAA and .906 SV% last year, but has impressed through two starts this season, going 1-1-0 while stopping 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in two starts with Tucson. He will likely serve as Louis Domingue’s backup on Tuesday.
Sissons was not on the ice for the Predators morning skate, so he is listed as a game-time decision. If Sissons can’t play, Kevin Fiala (upper-body) is expected to draw back in to take his roster spot.
Barbashev unsurprisingly cracked the Blues roster, but was surprisingly scratched in the first two contests. This afternoon he will replace Oskar Sundqvist as the third-line centre and will look to build off of the 12 points (5G / 7A) he had in 30 games with the Blues last season.
Eichel is entering the final year of his entry-level contract, so this extension will kick in for the 2018-19 season and run through the 2025-26 campaign—he will be 29-years-old. Eichel is hoping for a better start to 2017-18 after last year got derailed by an injury before the first game. Upon his return to the Buffalo lineup, Eichel was 10th in the NHL in points and is pegged as one of the biggest breakout candidates coming into this season.
Megna, 24, was a seventh round pick in 2012 and made his NHL debut in 2016-17, appearing in one game with the Ducks. He had a career-high 27 points (5G / 22A) in 62 AHL games with the San Diego Gulls.
Senators General Manager Pierre Dorion said Stone won’t play “soon” and his injury should be “measured in weeks.” This is a big blow to the Senators’ late-season push for the Atlantic Division and to fantasy owners alike.
Stone was hurt in Thursday’s game in Arizona and will come out of the lineup tonight in Colorado. Phil Varone was recalled from Binghamton (AHL) yesterday and will replace Stone in the lineup tonight.
Barbashev has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but will replace Jori Lehtera in the lineup on Saturday. Barbashev has just two goals and one assist in his first 14 career NHL games.
Andersson, 20, was a second round pick (No.53 overall) in 2015 and has earned his first NHL call-up. Andersson has recorded three goals and 19 assists (22 points) in 50 AHL games this season. He could make his NHL debut on Saturday with Dougie Hamilton and Michael Stone listed as questionable.
Marner has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, but will play tonight in San Jose. Marner has had an outstanding rookie season, having scored 15 goals with 33 assists (48 points) in 56 games. Marner will reclaim his spot on the second line with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk.
