Miller surrendered three goals on 34 shots in the Canucks’ loss in Chicago on Sunday. Jacob Markstrom got the nod last night, so Miller will start their final game before the All-Star break in Arizona. Miller has gone 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .983 SV% and one shutout in his first two starts against the Coyotes this season.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks’ loss to the Devils on January 15th. Ryan Miller started the last three games, but Markstrom will go tonight in Colorado. Markstrom has gone 3-7-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% on the road this season and he stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 3-2 shootout win in his first start vs. the Avalanche.

Laine has practiced the past three days and could return tonight after sitting out on Monday. Head coach Paul Maurice called Laine an “option” for tonight, so monitor his status leading up to game-time.

Budaj allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Kings’ loss in Brooklyn on Saturday. Jeff Zatkoff started last night, so look for Budaj to get in goal tonight in New Jersey. He has lost his last three starts while allowing a combined eight goals on 91 shots (.912 SV%). The Devils come in having won four of their last five.

Condon allowed seven goals on 29 shots in the Senators’ 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Condon, who will make his 27th appearance tonight. Condon has gone 0-2-0 with a 1.54 GAA and .938 SV% in his first two starts against the Capitals this season.

Dubnyk allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Wild’s win over the Ducks on Saturday. Dubnyk was given Sunday night off, so it isn’t surprising that Dubnyk will start tonight in Dallas. In his first start against the Stars, Dubnyk stopped all 29 shots that he faced in a 4-0 shutout win. He comes in having won six of his last seven.

Lehner allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Sabres’ win in Montreal on Saturday. Lehner is 3-0-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .926 SV% in four starts (was pulled last Tuesday) in the month of February. He draws a tough matchup tonight in Nashville—the Predators have won six go their last seven games.

Brown has missed the last seven games, but is listed as a game-time decision tonight in Chicago. Brown has just four points (2G / 2A) in 35 games this season, so he is not fantasy relevant.

Garrison missed Saturday’s game in Arizona because of an illness, but could draw back into the lineup tonight in Chicago. He is listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status during warmups.

Vasilevskiy stopped all six shots that he faced after replacing Ben Bishop in the Lightning’s loss in Arizona on Saturday. Vasilevskiy has gone 0-6-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .877 SV% in six starts and that relief appearance in January. He will be in tough on Tuesday against a Blackhawks team that is really strong on home-ice.

Kruger has been sidelined since December 30th, but could be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Lightning. Kruger has picked up 10 points (2G / 8A) in 39 games this season. Consider him as a game-time decision.

Wilson has missed the last eight games, but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Sabres. Wilson, who has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 38 games, will skate on a line with Mike Fisher and Craig Smith.
