Lehner allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Sabres’ loss to the Sharks on last Saturday. With four days of rest, the Sabres will go back to Lehner tonight in Arizona. He has put up average numbers so far (2.78 GAA / .911 SV%) but has a great matchup against the NHL’s worst team through the first month.
After opening the season in the AHL, the Golden Knights finally cleared the way for Theodore to come up on Monday. He sat as a healthy scratch on vs. the Islanders, but will make his debut tonight in New York. The 22-year-old, former first round pick (No.26 overall) is expected to skate with Colin Miller and comes up after recording 11 points (5G / 6A) in eight AHL contests.
Patrick has been sidelined since October 26th, missing the last three games and will miss at least the next two contests with an upper-body injury. The rookie could be set to return to the lineup when the Flyers return home for Saturday’s meeting with the Avalanche.
Theodore was only sent to the AHL to start the season because the Golden Knights had a ton of defensemen and he was one of the only players that was waiver exempt. Vegas has been working to clear a spot to bring him up and it looks like the time has finally arrived. Theodore has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in eight AHL games and just might be the Golden Knights’ best defenseman.
Patrick was hurt on Tuesday but was surprisingly on the ice for practice the next day before being held out of the lineup on Thursday. He remains sidelined and will miss tonight's contest in Toronto; consider him day-to-day.
Hill gave up five goals on 30 shots in the Coyotes loss to Dallas last Thursday. In his first two NHL starts, Hill has given up a combined seven goals on 63 shots (.889 SV%). Tonight he will try and give the Coyotes their first win of the season as he faces a Rangers team sitting at 2.50 goals for per game so far this year.
Patrick left Tuesday’s game after getting knocked head-first into the glass, but was on the ice this morning and won’t miss any time. This is great news because it looked like Patrick could have suffered a concussion.
Patrick was forced to leave Tuesday’s game with a possible concussion after being knocked into the glass head-first in the second period. The summer’s No.2 overall pick has had a slow start to his rookie campaign, picking up just one goal and two assists (three points) in nine games. Patrick seems unlikely to play Thursday in Ottawa.
Lehner allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Sabres’ win in Boston on Saturday. Statistically, it wasn’t the best outing for Lehner, but it was enough to earn him his first win of the season. He will look to build off of Saturday’s performance tonight when the Sabres host a Red Wings team that lost all four of their games last week.
Lehner was not on the ice for Thursday’s practice session because he is under the weather. This obviously puts his status for tomorrow’s game in question, leaving the door open for Chad Johnson to start his third straight game.
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.
