Dalpe has scored two goals with seven assists (nine points) in 13 games with the Monsters this season. There is no word whether he will be in the lineup on Thursday, but he has no points in 10 NHL games this season.
Murray stopped all 11 shots that he faced after replacing the banged up Tristan Jarry in the Penguins win in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Tonight he will make his first start of the season versus the Hurricanes, but his 14th start on home ice—he is 8-3-1 with a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his first 13 games at PPG Paints Arena.

TONIGHT'S BRUINS VS. PANTHERS GAME HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER.
Aho had no points with three shots and a minus-4 rating in his first two career NHL games. He will take a seat tonight in Philadelphia with Dennis Seidenberg replacing him on the blueline.
Seidenberg was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Sebastian Aho in the Islanders lineup on Thursday. Seidenberg will start on a pairing with Nick Leddy but still carries no fantasy value.
Greiss allowed one goal on 13 shots after replacing Jaroslav Halak in the Islanders 6-1 loss in Colorado on Sunday. Greiss went 1-3-0 with a 4.85 GAA and .835 SV% in five starts and two relief appearance in December. He has already faced the Flyers twice this season, going 2-0-0 with a 3.41 GAA and .897 SV% in the first two meetings.
Neuvirth allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Brian Elliott in the Flyers loss to the Penguins on Tuesday. Tonight he will make his first start since November 28th and ninth of the season.

Bernier stopped 21 of 23 shots after replacing the injured Semyon Varlamov in Colorado’s win over the Jets on Tuesday. Bernier has won two in a row while stopping 48 of 51 shots (.941 SV%). Bernier will take on the Blue Jackets at the Pepsi Center where he is 5-4-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .898 SV% this season.
Bishop allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Stars loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Despite the loss, it was still another strong performance from Bishop, who has won four of his last six with a 1.66 GAA, .943 SV% and two shutouts. Tonight he faces a quality Devils team, but Bishop has been really good at American Airlines Center this season.
Schneider gave up four goals on 34 shots in the Devils loss in Washington last Saturday. After a five game winning streak, Schneider has lost two straight while allowing a combined eight goals on 63 shots (.873 SV%). In his first start against the Stars, Schneider stopped 28 of 30 shots in a 5-2 win in mid-December.
Dumont has missed the last six games but will be back in tonight in Detroit. The 27-year-old has just one assist in 11 games since joining the Senators.
Claesson was suspended two games for an illegal check to the head of Noel Acciari but will return to the blueline tonight in Detroit. Claesson has no fantasy value as he’s collected just two points (1G / 1A) in 31 games this season.
Hammond has gone 7-6-2 with a 3.44 GAA and .899 SV% in 17 games with the Belleville Senators this season. With Semyon Varlamov out with a lower-body injury, Hammond has been recalled to backup Jonathan Bernier for at least two games.
The Avalanche have two games before their bye week so Varlamov will miss at least those two games with a “muscular thing.” With Varlamov out, Andrew Hammond has been recalled to backup Jonathan Bernier.
