NHL Hockey Player News

Rittich allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flames win over the Devils on Thursday. Rittich has won four consecutive games while allowing a combined 10 goals on 139 shots (.928 SV%). Rittich is on a heater right now but the Blues comes in playing good hockey as well--they're on a six-game winning streak and have averaged 3.67 goals per game over that span.

Greiss stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Islanders win over the Senators on Tuesday. The Islanders goalie rotation is expected to continue on Saturday afternoon, setting up a Greiss vs. Sergei Bobrovsky matchup. Greiss has won five straight games while posting a stellar 1.80 GAA and .942 SV%. He faces a Panthers team that is 4-2-3 despite averaging an impressive 3.56 goals per game on the road.

Crawford stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Canucks on Thursday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Crawford, who will start his eighth game of the season on Saturday. He has not won a game on the road, going 0-2-1 with an ugly 4.08 GAA and .894 SV% in his first three attempts.

Reimer allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Hurricanes loss to the Devils last Saturday. Reimer has been a pure backup to start the 2019-20 season, starting just five of the Hurricanes' first 16 games, going 2-3-0 with a 2.93 GAA and .907 SV%. Tonight he faces a Senators team that he's seen a lot of in his career--he is 15-5-3 with a .928 SV% in 25 career appearances against Ottawa.

Staal returned to the lineup for the last two games but will miss at least two weeks after undergoing a procedure on his ankle. Brady Skjei will replace Staal on Sunday if he is healthy enough to play.

Elliott allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Flyers shootout loss to the Maple Leafs last Saturday. He played well and will get another shot at the Maple Leafs tonight in Toronto. He is 1-2-0 with a 3.15 GAA and .905 SV% on the road this season and the Maple Leafs are 6-2-3 while scoring 3.45 goals per game in 11 home games.

Hutton allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Sabres loss to the Islanders last Saturday. Hutton has lost three straight but has actually played really well as of late, stopping 62 of the last 65 shots (.954 SV%) that he has faced. Even with Curtis McElhinney in the other net, Hutton is a risky option against a Lightning team that outshot the Sabres 34-to-22 yesterday.

Greiss stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Islanders win over the Senators on Tuesday. The Islanders goalie rotation is expected to continue on Saturday afternoon, setting up a Greiss vs. Sergei Bobrovsky matchup. Greiss has won five straight games while posting a stellar 1.80 GAA and .942 SV%. He faces a Panthers team that is 4-2-3 despite averaging an impressive 3.56 goals per game on the road.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 31 shots in the Panthers loss to the Capitals on Thursday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Bobrovsky, who comes in at 3-1-2 with a 3.48 GAA and .869 SV% on the road this season. On the flip side, the Islanders are 7-2-1 while scoring 3.40 goals per game on home ice this season.

Murray allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Penguins win over the Islanders on Thursday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Murray, who is now 8-3-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. The 25-year-old will be taking on a Chicago team that has just one win on the road this season, going 1-4-1 while scoring just 1.83 goals per game this season.

White has been out since October 21st but will return from his conditioning stint with Belleville and play vs. the Hurricanes. White, who missed seven games, returns with just one goal and one assist in eight games this season.

Dowd has been out of the lineup for the last three games but will replace Carl Hagelin vs. the Golden Knights. Dowd will centre the fourth line and re-enters the lineup with two goals and one assist in 11 games this season.

Hagelin will come out of the Capitals lineup vs. the Golden Knights, so look for Chandler Stephenson to move up to the third line with Lars Eller. Hagelin, who has just five assists in 17 games this season, should be considered questionable heading into Monday's game vs. the Coyotes.

Quick allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Kings win in Toronto on Tuesday. The loss extended his losing streak to four games and nothing has gone right in those games. Quick has posted a 4.34 GAA and .872 SV% and his teammates have scored just 1.75 goals per game for him. Now he's got a road matchup in Montreal, where the Habs have won three of their last four.

Holtby allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Capitals win in Florida on Thursday. Holtby has won three straight and six of his last seven while posting a 2.82 GAA and .918 SV%. He has put an ugly start behind him and comes into Saturday's game at 2-0-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .887 SV% on five starts in Washington.

Andersen stopped 37 of the 38 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs win over the Golden Knights on Thursday. He is on a three-game winning streak, which started with a shootout win over the Flyers, who he'll face again tonight. Andersen is 6-2-2 with a 2.92 GAA and .906 SV% in 10 starts at Scotiabank Arena this season.
