Twarynski has spent most of the season with the Flyers, where he has just one goal in 14 games. He heads back to the AHL to make room for Morgan Frost to join the Flyers for the first time in his career.
Frost, who has picked No.27 overall in 2017, is one of the Flyers' top prospects and has registered 12 points (5G / 7A) in his first 16 career AHL games. Frost takes Carsen Twarynski's spot on the roster and should make his NHL debut in Florida on Tuesday.
Vaakanainen appeared in the last three games with the Bruins before being sent to the AHL in a "paper move." He has not recorded a point but has averaged 17:25 TOI/gm and will likely be in the lineup in New Jersey on Tuesday.
Gaunce has spent the entire season with Providence, where he has recorded four goals and three assists (seven points) in 11 games. He spent the first five years of his career with the Canucks, where he had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 117 career NHL games.
Holtby allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Capitals win in Boston on Saturday. Holtby is riding a six-game winning streak while posting a stellar 2.09 GAA and .929 SV%. He draws a great matchup to start the week with Anaheim in town. The Ducks have gone 4-5-0 while scoring 2.33 goals per game on the road this season.
Hutton allowed five goals on 29 shots in the Sabres loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. Hutton has lost five consecutive starts while posting an ugly 3.80 GAA and .880 SV%. He really hasn't played well and isn't a good option against a Blackhawks team that has four 4-0-1 while averaging a ridiculous 4.80 goals per game in their last five.
Fleury gave up five goals on 26 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Vegas is in a bit of a tail-spin and Fleury comes into play having lost three of his last four starts while allowing 15 goals on 118 shots (.873 SV%). The Flames are also struggling, losing three in a row and only scoring three goals in those games.
Crawford allowed three goals 42 shots in the Blackhawks win in Vegas on Wednesday. Crawford has played well as of late, winning two of his last three starts while stopping 104 of the 111 shots that he has faced (.937 SV%). He is 2-2-0 with a. 3.05 GAA and .907 SV% on home-ice this season and has never lost (10-0-0) in 10 career starts vs. the Sabres.
Talbot allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Flames loss to the Stars on Wednesday. Talbot has lost each of his last three starts while allowing 10 goals on 92 shots (.891 SV%). The Golden Knights have lost five consecutive game but they are typically very good at home, making Talbot an option for only the most desperate fantasy owners.
Okposo left last night's game with an undisclosed injury after playing just 4:09 TOI and did not return. Tage Thompson was called-up from Rochester (AHL) and will fill in for Okposo if he can't go.
Thompson is tied for the team lead with 12 points (6G / 6A) in 16 games with Rochester this season. Kyle Okposo left past night's game and is questionable to play on Sunday, so look for Thompson to make his season debut in Chicago. The 2016 first-round pick has 21 points (10G / 11A) in 106 career NHL games.
