NHL Hockey Player News

Campbell stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Kings loss in Carolina last Saturday. Campbell will start for the third time in four games and has stopped 72 of the last 75 shots (.960 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he starts in Florida, where the Panthers have gone 6-1-0 while scoring 5.57 goals per game in their last seven games.

Karlsson has missed just two games over the last four and a half years and has never missed a game in a Vegas uniform until tonight. Karlsson will miss at least a couple of weeks and Paul Stastny is the most likely candidate to move into the top-6.

Tonight will be Lyon's first NHL game in over a year. He has gone 9-11-2 with a 2.56 GAA and .916 SV% in 23 AHL games this season but is 4-3-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .894 SV% in 13 career NHL starts. Even with a decent matchup, Lyon is a risky option as he's set to go toe-to-toe with Carey Price.

Jarry allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Penguins win over the Wild on Tuesday. He's allowed three goals in five straight games but has won three straight while stopping 81 of 90 shots (.900 SV%). Tonight he faces a Bruins team that has lost four of their last seven (3-2-3) while scoring 2.88 goals per game.

Price stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shutout win over the Flames on Monday. After an ugly six-game losing streak, Price has won two straight while stopping 72 of the last 73 shots (.986 SV%) that he's faced. The Flyers are terrific on home ice but are also on the tail-end of a back-to-back with an inexperienced netminder in the other crease.

Domingue was yanked after allowing five goals on 19 shots in the Devils loss in Toronto on Tuesday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Domingue, who will make his fourth straight start on Thursday. He draws a tough matchup in Washington, where the Capitals are 6-2-0 with 3.13 goals per game in their last eight.

Driedger surrendered four goals on 47 shots in the Panthers win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday. Driedger has played extremely well since coming up from the AHL, winning five of his seven starts with a 2.40 GAA, .931 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he sees a Kings team that has lost nine of their last 12 (3-7-2) while averaging just 2.25 goals per game.

Schaller has suited up in 12 straight games, picking up just a single assist, but will be scratched tonight with Brandon Sutter returning to the lineup on Thursday.

Sutter has missed the last 12 games with an upper-body injury but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. Sutter has eight points (5G / 3A) in 22 games this season and will replace Tim Schaller.

Donskoi will miss his third straight game vs. the Sharks but could be back Saturday vs. the Blues. Monitor his status over the next 24-to-48 hours.

Maroon will miss his third straight game in Minnesota but is a possibility to be back in the lineup tomorrow in Winnipeg. Expect an update a few hours before puck-drop on Friday since they won't hold a morning skate on the back-to-back.

McDonagh missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but will play Thursday in Minnesota. McDonagh will be back on the second-pair next to Erik Cernak and comes in with one goal and 10 assists (11 points) in 40 games.

Dahlstrom suffered a broken bone in his hand while filling in for Dmitry Kulikov (illness) in the lineup on Tuesday and will be out until at least late-February/early-March. Kulikov is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday, replacing Dahlstrom.

Lundestrom has appeared in 12 straight games with the Ducks but was sent back to the AHL to make room for the potential returns of Derek Grant and/or Nick Ritchie.

Comtois has played in the last three games, scoring a goal and one assist in his last two games, but has been sent to the AHL with Jakob Silfverberg listed as a game-time decision on Thursday. Comtois has six assists in eight AHL games this year.
