NHL Hockey Player News

Crawford stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Coyotes on Sunday. Crawford has won both of his starts since returning from injury, stopping 57 of 60 shots (.950 SV%). In his first start against the Panthers this season, Crawford stopped 37 of 38 shots in a 4-1 win in Florida.

Dubnyk allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Wild’s win in Anaheim last Friday. Darcy Kuemper gave him a breather on Sunday, so Dubnyk will be well rested coming into tonight’s meeting with the Flames. Dubnyk has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.22 GAA and .930 SV%.

Andersen allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Pittsburgh on Saturday. After getting the night off on Sunday, Andersen will be back between the pipes tonight in Philadelphia. Andersen rides into Tuesday having won five of his last six starts while posting a 2.48 GAA and .932 SV%.

Allen stopped 22 of the 24 shots that he faced in the Blues win over the Sabres on Sunday. Allen won both games of the Blues back-to-back over the weekend, extending his winning streak to four games while posting a 1.50 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout. He’s got a stiff test on his hands tonight as he goes up against a Lightning team that not only leads the NHL in scoring but come in on a four-game winning streak of their own.

Holtby was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots in the Capitals’ loss in Brooklyn last night. The Capitals likely pulled Holtby to ensure he would be fresh for tonight’s game vs. the Avalanche. The 28-year-old has gone 10-4-0 with a 2.07 GAA and .936 SV% on home ice this season.

Ward allowed five goals on 33 shots in the Hurricanes loss in San Jose last Thursday. With Scott Darling starting last night’s loss, Ward is expected to go tonight in Vegas. Ward is 2-1-1 with a 3.52 GAA and .898 SV% on the road this season.

Palmieri was on the ice for the Devils’ morning skate today but will not play against the Kings. Palmieri also will not travel to Montreal for Thursday’s game, so monitor his status prior to Friday’s game vs. the Stars.

Johansson left Saturday’s game in New York after blocking a shot and will come out of the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. With Johansson out, Drew Stafford is expected to draw back in up front.

Lehner allowed three goals on 45 shots in the Sabres loss in St. Louis on Sunday. Lehner has lost five of his last six starts while posting a 2.84 GAA and .919 SV%. Lehner has had his struggles this season, but has been good at KeyBank Center, going 3-6-1 with a 2.02 GAA and .932 SV% in nine starts and two relief appearances.

Fleury has been sidelined by a concussion since October 13th but it looks like he is ready to return to the Golden Knights crease tonight. Prior to getting hurt, Fleury was 3-1-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .925 SV% in four starts. The Golden Knights were able to go 16-8-1 without Fleury, so he should make for a great fantasy option going forward.

Grubauer stopped all 18 shots that he faced replacing Braden Holtby in the Capitals loss in Brooklyn last night. The Capitals may go back to Grubauer tonight after another strong outing. In his last three appearances, Grubauer has turned away 66 of 68 shots (.971 SV%). Don’t expect the Capitals to announce a starter until they get to the rink closer to game time.

The Ducks were unable to provide an update on Perry’s status postgame but they can’t seem to get out of their own way. The Ducks just got Ryan Getzlaf back yesterday and they played just 3:49 TOI together before Perry exited the game. Expect an update on Perry’s status prior to Thursday’s game in St. Louis.

Kerfoot played just 7:41 TOI before leaving last night’s game in Pittsburgh with a lower-body injury. With the Avalanche back in action on Tuesday, Kerfoot should be considered questionable at best. Expect the Avalanche to update Kerfoot’s status closer to game-time.

Condon allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Senators 4-3 overtime loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. Craig Anderson allowed five goals in San Jose on Saturday so they’ll go back to Condon tonight as the Senators lengthy road trip continues. Condon has gone 2-2-2 with a 3.22 GAA and .906 SV% on the road this season.

Varlamov allowed three goals on 42 shots in Colorado’s win in Florida on Saturday. With Jonathan Bernier starting last night, Varlamov will start tonight in Washington. In his first start against the Capitals, Varlamov stopped 28 of 30 shots in a 6-2 win in mid-November.

Elliott stopped 36 of 37 shots in the Flyers win in Vancouver last Thursday. Elliott has won three in a row while turning away 103 of 108 shots (.954 SV%). The veteran netminder will look to stay hot tonight vs. the Maple Leafs—he stopped 28 of 30 shots in a 4-2 win in Toronto back in late-October.
