Primeau, 20, was a seventh-round pick of the Canadiens in 2017. After two years at Northeastern University, he turned pro this year and is 7-4-1 with a 2.58 GAA and .910 SV%. Primeau could make his NHL debut during the Habs' back-to-back on Thursday/Friday.
Fast was listed as a game-time decision but it looks like he'll play on the Rangers third-line with Filip Chytil and Brendan Lemieux. Fast has three goals and six assists in 24 games this season.
Ullmark allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Sabres' win over the Maple Leafs on Friday. Carter Hutton was handed the loss in Toronto on Saturday, so they'll come back to Ullmark on Monday night. He was the better of the two in November but still wasn't great, going 3-4-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .894 SV% in eight outings. He hasn't been great but draws a nice matchup on Monday--New Jersey has lost four of their last six (2-4-0) while scoring 2.50 goals per game.
Nilsson allowed seven goals on 35 shots in the Senators blowout loss in Minnesota last Friday. It was a tough way to end November for Nilsson, who finished the month at 6-3-0 with a 2.69 GAA and .915 SV%. He's inconsistent and has the facing his former team narrative tonight but the Canucks are 12th in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.18 GF/gm) and have the fourth-best PP (26.4%) so it's a matchup worth avoiding.
Holtby allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Capitals win over the Lightning last Friday. Holtby was fantastic in November, going 8-1-1 with a 2.24 GAA and .928 SV%. He was second in wins in the month and tonight he goes head-to-head with Martin Jones, who was first with a 10-2-0 record. Holtby is 7-2-1 with a 3.13 GAA and .903 SV% on the road this season.
Khudobin allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Stars loss in Chicago last Tuesday. Ben Bishop has started three out of the last four games but Khudobin will make his 10th start of the season on Tuesday. He was 4-1-1 with a 1.76 GAA and .949 SV% in November and allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 3-2 OT loss in his first start in Winnipeg.
Noesen opened the season without an NHL contract but was playing in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) and is leading the team in goals (14) and is tied for the team-lead in points (22). With injuries continuing to mount in Pittsburgh, Noesen could get another NHL shot soon.
Hart stopped 32 of 33 shots in the Flyers' win over the Red Wings on Friday. Hart won his last two starts to close out November, finishing the month at 6-2-3 with a 1.94 GAA and .927 SV%. He's been excellent on home-ice all year, going 6-1-2 with a 1.54 GAA, .942 SV% and one shutout but has a tough matchup with Toronto in town. The Maple Leafs are 4-1-0 while scoring 4.00 goals per game under new head coach Sheldon Keefe.
Stolarz, who has gone 8-5-1 with a 2.98 GAA and .910 SV% in 14 AHL games this season, will serve as Ryan Miller's backup on Monday. John Gibson is unavailable due to an illness.
Gibson left Sunday's practice early and will not be available for Monday's game because he is sick. Ryan Miller will get the nod vs. the Kings and Anthony Stolarz is up from San Diego (AHL) and will serve as his backup.
Miller surrendered six goals on 27 shots in the Ducks loss in Tampa Bay on November 23rd. With John Gibson sick, Miller will make just his seventh start of the season on Monday. He is 1-0-2 with a 2.96 GAA and .907 SV% on home-ice and the Kings come in on an eight-game road losing streak, scoring just 1.25 goals per game in those games.
Campbell allowed just one goal on 34 shots in the Kings win over the Jets on Saturday. The fantastic outing earned Campbell a second consecutive start on Monday night. The Ducks have lost five of their last six while scoring just 2.33 goals per game, but Campbell is 1-2-1 with a 3.46 GAA and .878 SV% on the road, so something as to give in this matchup.
Allen stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Blues win in Dallas on Friday. Allen has played very well recently, earning himself more playing time than expected. He has picked up a point for the Blues in five straight starts (3-0-2) while posting a 2.12 GAA and .934 SV%. Tonight he meets a Blackhawks team that has lost five of their last six (1-4-1) while scoring just 2.17 goals per game.
Hornqvist was on the first line with Evgeni Malkin and Jake Guentzel in Monday's practice but was forced to leave the session after falling and suffering a lower-body injury. The Penguins are off until Wednesday, so expect an update prior to their vs. St. Louis.
DiPietro has gone 7-4-1 with a 2.44 GAA and .913 SV% in his first 13 AHL starts this year. The 20-year-old, former third-round pick has received his first call-up of the season because Jacob Markstrom has been granted a leave of absence to go to Sweden for his father's memorial service. DiPietro likely won't play a game but should serve as Thatcher Demko's backup on Tuesday.
Markstorm has returned to Sweden to attend his father's memorial service, which means Thatcher Demko will start Tuesday vs. the Senators. There's no indication when Markstrom will return to Vancouver, but he could be back before Saturday's game vs. the Sabres. Mikey DiPietro was called up from Utica (AHL) and will serve as Demko's backup tomorrow.
Marner, who has missed the last 10 games, was back at practice on Monday but is not ruling out a return Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Marner told reporters that he's taking it "day-by-day" so monitor his status prior to the second half of the Maple Leafs' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Marner skated on the second line with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev on Monday and will re-enter the lineup with 18 points (4G / 14A) in 18 games when he's healthy.
Andersen stopped 29 of 30 shots in Toronto's overtime win over the Sabres on Saturday. Since the coaching change, Andersen has gone 4-0-0 while posting a 1.24 GAA, .959 SV% and one shutout. As good as he's been, tonight he takes on a Flyers team that was the best in the NHL in November, going 10-2-4 while scoring 2.88 goals per game.
Strome is feeling better but will miss his fourth consecutive game with concussion symptoms. With Strome still out, Andrew Shaw now listed on the injury report, and no cap space to call anyone up, Chicago will have to play with just 11 forwards and six defensemen on Monday.
