NHL Hockey Player News

Allen allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Blues loss to the Canadiens on October 19th. Allen missed a start last weekend due to an illness but will make his third start of the season on Saturday evening. He has allowed four goals in each of his starts while posting a .849 SV%, but a matchup with the Wild keeps him in the spot-start conversation on Saturday.

Bernier allowed one goal on 12 shots in the Red Wings loss in Carolina last night. With Jimmy Howard stumbling, Bernier will go tonight in Florida and look to snap a four-game personal losing streak. The Panthers currently rank fifth in the league in goal scoring (3.54 GF/gm) so look elsewhere for goalie options tonight.

Varlamov surrendered three goals on 31 shots in the Islanders win over the Flyers last Sunday. Thomas Greiss started last night so look for Varlamov to get the second game of their back-to-back in Buffalo. He comes into play on a four-game winning streak, posting a 1.96 GAA and .935 SV% in the process. He is a good option whenever the Islanders call on him.

Campbell allowed five goals on 26 shots in the Kings loss in Chicago on Sunday. Campbell had a nice start to the season but has stumbled as of late, losing his last three starts while posting a 3.04 GAA and .875 SV%. Tonight he faces a Chicago team that has lost five of their last six (1-4-1) while averaging just 1.67 goals per game.

Korpisalo was pulled after allowing four goals on 12 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Oilers on Wednesday. With Elvis Merzlikins starting last night, head coach John Tortorella will tab Korpisalo for tonight's game vs. the Flames. Calgary has lost three of five and rank 21st in the NHL in offence (2.73 GF/gm) though 15 games.

Price allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Canadiens win in Arizona on Wednesday. Keith Kinkaid got the nod on Thursday, so Price will likely start Saturday night in Dallas. Price has won four of his last five while posting an impressive 1.82 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout. Price is playing very well but the Stars come in having won five of their last six, so they're hot as well.

Elliott gave up six goals on 28 shots in the Flyers loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. It was a tough outing and ended an extended run of strong play for the veteran, who gets the nod on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Saturday. The Maple Leafs haven't been at their best but they still present a very difficult matchup, especially since they're well-rested and Philadelphia played last night.

Hayden played in five straight games but will be replaced by Jesper Boqvist on Saturday. Boqvist will move onto the second line and Wayne Simmonds will move down into Hayden's spot.

Boqvist has been a healthy scratch for five games but will replace John Hayden in the lineup on Saturday. Boqvist will play on the second line with Wayne Simmonds moving down to take Hayden's spot. Boqvist has no points and just one shot in two games this season.

Reimer stopped all seven shots that he faced in relief in his last appearance (Oct.18). Petr Mrazek has been used exclusively in the last five games but Reimer will be back in on the tail-end of a back-to-back. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .918 SV% in five appearances and tonight he faces a Devils team that has lost three in a row.

Blackwood allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Devils loss to the Flyers last night. Even with the loss, New Jersey will come back to Blackwood tonight in Carolina. He has lost two in a row and gave up seven goals on 36 shots in his only road start this season. With no rest and a terrible road matchup, Blackwood is a less than ideal option on Saturday.

Comeau has been out since the season opener but is expected to play vs. the Canadiens. Comeau will skate on the fourth line with Radek Faksa and Andrew Cogliano, so he has no fantasy value.

Gilbert was in the lineup for the last two games but head coach Jeremy Colliton will re-insert Brent Seabook into Saturday's game. Gilbert has been held off of the scoresheet in all three games that he's appeared in this season.

The 2019 breakout star has struggled early in 2019-20, picking up just four assists in 11 games. Gustafsson will get a chance to watch from the press box and reset with Adam Boqvist making his NHL debut.

Caggiula was in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by Zack Smith on Saturday. Caggiula has three goals in the 10 games he's played in.

Smith has been in and out of Chicago's lineup this season and sat as a healthy scratch for each of the last two games. He has been held off of the scoresheet in six games this season.

Seabrook has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Dennis Gilbert in the lineup in Los Angeles. Seabrook has one goal and no assists in nine games this season.

After just six AHL games, Boqvist was called up and the 2018 No.8 overall pick will make his NHL debut in Los Angeles. The 19-year-old defenseman will play on the top pair with Duncan Keith at even-strength and on the second power-play unit.
