Rask allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Bruins’ loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Rask has now lost three of his last four starts while posting a 3.05 GAA and .891 SV%. Now he heads to Anaheim looking for his first road win of the season—he has gone 0-3-1 with a 3.24 GAA and .896 SV% in his first four road starts.

Lindholm was at the rink this morning but did not take part in the morning skate, leaving him as a game-time decision against the Bruins. It’s a late start, making Lindholm a very risky daily fantasy pick, but monitor his status when the Ducks hit the ice for warmups.

Gibson allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Ducks’ loss to the Lightning on Sunday and the game would have been much more lopsided if it weren’t for Gibson’s play. Gibson comes into Wednesday on a personal four-game losing streak, posting a 3.14 GAA and .906 SV% in the process.

Dubnyk stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win over the Flyers on Tuesday. Dubnyk has now posted three straight shutouts, turning aside all 103 shots that he has faced. Tonight he will look to go for four in a row against a Predators team that has won five in a row while averaging 4.4 goals per game over that span.

Grimaldi picked up one goal and two assists in five games with the Avalanche during his call-up, but he will swap placed with Vladislav Kamenev and head back to San Antonio and await another opportunity.

Kamenev, 21, was acquired in the Matt Duchene traded and has picked up four assists in four games with San Antonio since, bringing his season total to 12 points (3G / 8A) in 14 AHL games. Kamenev will likely make his Avalanche debut Thursday vs. the Capitals—he will skate with Sven Andrighetto and Nail Yakupov.

Anderson stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Mike Condon in the Senators win over the Avalanche on Saturday. The win moved Anderson to 3-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .895 SV% in four November appearances and tonight he makes his first start of the season vs. Pittsburgh. The 36-year-old comes into Thursday at 4-3-3 with a 3.45 GAA and .886 SV% on home ice this season.

Lindgren allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Canadiens’ loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Despite the loss, it was another strong effort from Lindgren, who is now 3-1-1 with a 1.39 GAA and .957 SV% in five starts since being called up. He makes for a strong option tonight with the 2-15-3 Coyotes in town having lost five in a row (0-3-2).

Frk played just 7:18 TOI vs. the Blue Jackets on Saturday, suggest he was nicked up in the contest. With Frk out, Luke Witkowski will draw back into the lineup. Frk is considered day-to-day.

Lack allowed two goals on 15 shots after replacing Mike Smith in the second period of Monday’s win over the Blues. With Smith out tonight, the Flames will start Lack against the Red Wings. Lack has played just 111:45 in three games this season, allowing a combined seven goals on 49 shots (.857 SV%).

Howard allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Red Wings’ shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. It was another great start for Howard, but the Red Wings had a tough time solving Sergei Bobrovsky at the other end. Tonight he will look to get his seventh ‘W’ of the season versus the Flames—he is 2-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .922 SV% in his first five starts at Little Caesars Arena.

Crawford allowed six goals on 25 shots in the Blackhawks loss to the Devils on Sunday.

Tonight he faces a Rangers team riding a six-game winning streak—Crawford is 4-4-0 with a 2.10 GAA and .938 SV% on home ice.

Darling allowed just one goal on 26 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Stars on Monday. Darling has been really good in the first half of November, going 2-0-2 with a 1.71 GAA and .937 SV% in four outings. Tonight he gets the nod in Brooklyn and comes in with a 2-2-1 record, 2.20 GAA and.916 SV% on the road.

Helm missed tuesday’s practice and will be held out of the lineup for Wednesday’s home game vs. the Flames. There’s no word how serious Helm’s injury is, so consider him day-to-day for now. The Red Wings will get Justin Abdelkder back to take Helm’s spot in the lineup.

Howard allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Red Wings’ shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. It was another great start for Howard, but the Red Wings had a tough time solving Sergei Bobrovsky at the other end.
