Rowney was considered a game-time decision after missing Monday’s practice, but he will play vs. the Senators. Rowney is not fantasy relevant, having picked up just four points (2G / 2A) in 32 games the season.
Kinkaid allowed six goals on 50 shots in the Devils loss in Columbus on Saturday. Eddie Lack did not play much better the next night, so it looks like they’ll come back to Kinkaid tonight in Philadelphia. Kinkaid has won three and lost three in his last six starts while posting an ugly 3.30 GAA and .890 SV%. He is 1-1-0 with a 4.98 GAA and .813 SV% in two games vs. the Flyers this season.
The Flames avoided disaster as an MRI revealed that Smith’s injury is not as serious as originally feared. What looked like a groin injury turned out not to be groin related. However, the lower-body ailment will keep him out of at least the next two games and he will be re-evaluated after that.
Domingue allowed two goals on nine shots after replacing Andrei Vasilevskiy in the Lightning’s loss in Edmonton on February 5th. Since joining the Lightning, Domingue has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .913 SV%. Tonight he will face a depleted Sabres lineup, who will be playing their second game without Jack Eichel.
Condon allowed two goals on 30 shots after replacing Craig Anderson in the Senators loss in Toronto on Saturday. Condon has gone 2-7-2 with a 3.00 GAA and .913 SV% on the road this season. The 27-year-old netminder has struggled all season-long and will be in tough tonight in Pittsburgh—the Penguins have won six of their last eight (6-1-1) while averaging 4.25 goals for per game.
Quick stopped 13 of 14 shots after replacing Darcy Kuemper in the Kings loss in Tampa Bay on Saturday. Quick had his fair share of struggles in late-January, but has now stopped 48 of 50 shots (.960 SV%) in his last two outings. In his first start vs. the Hurricanes, Quick stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 3-2 OT win in early-December.
Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Jets loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Hellebuyck had been 6-0-0 in games played on Sunday before the loss, but it was even more surprising because the Rangers are extremely banged up. Tonight he faces the Capitals at the Bell MTS Place, where he has gone 19-3-2 with a 2.13 GAA and .927 SV% this season.
Kinkaid allowed six goals on 50 shots in the Devils loss in Columbus on Saturday. Eddie Lack did not play much better the next night, so it looks like they’ll come back to Kinkaid tonight in Philadelphia. Kinkaid has won three and lost three in his last six starts while posting an ugly 3.30 GAA and .890 SV%. He is 1-1-0 with a 4.98 GAA and .813 SV% in two games vs. the Flyers this season.
Lappin, 25, has one goal in two games with the Devils this season, but has spent the majority of the campaign in Binghamton. Lappin has collected 17 goals and 12 assists (29 points) in 42 AHL games and is expected to draw into the Devils lineup with Brian Boyle (shoulder) and John Quenneville (knee) out.
The Devils already announced that Schneider is expected to miss the rest of this week, so moving him to IR was a move made to create a roster spot to call Nick Lappin up from Binghamton (AHL).
Rinne allowed two goals on 49 shots in the Predators win in Montreal on Saturday. After losing in Toronto, Rinne got back in the win column on Saturday, giving him nine wins in his last 10 games. Tonight he will look to stay hot against the Blues, who he is 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .984 SV% and one shutout against this season.
Quenneville was hurt Saturday in Columbus and will miss his second straight game with a right knee injury. Christoph Bertschy was recalled from Binghamton (AHL) and is expected to draw into the lineup on Tuesday.
Boyle was forced to leave Sunday’s game vs. the Bruins and is day-to-day with a right shoulder ailment. Nick Lappin has been recalled from Binghamton (AHL) and is expected to replace Boyle on Tuesday.
Dubnyk stopped all 44 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. It was an impressive outing from Dubnyk, who has won four of his last six (4-1-1) while posting a 2.39 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he faces a banged up Rangers team on home-ice, where he has gone 14-2-4 with a 2.11 GAA and .933 SV% this season.
Howard allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Red Wings overtime win in Washington on Sunday. The Red Wings blew another three-goal lead but were able to win in overtime, Howard’s first win since January 5th. Tonight they face a Ducks team that has lost four of their last six at Little Caesars Arena, where Howard is 10-10-5 with a 2.86 GAA and .908 SV% this season.
Sundqvist had two goals and four assists (six points) in six games during his conditioning stint. He returns to the Blues, where he has just three assists in 30 games this season.
Murray stopped 33 of 34 shots in the Penguins win in St. Louis on Sunday. Murray has won four of five with a 2.76 GAA and .918 SV% since returning from the death of his father. The Penguins are really heating up right now and Murray is a must-start vs. the Senators this evening.
Neuvirth allowed one goal on 39 shots in the Flyers win in Vegas on Sunday. With Brian Elliott getting hurt in the shootout the night before, the Flyers turned to Neuvirth, who was great in the shootout and even better in Vegas. Neuvirth has turned in performances like this before but is terribly inconsistent. He will look to build off of it tonight vs. New Jersey—he stopped 28 of 29 shots in a 3-1 win vs. the Devils in late-January.
Johnson allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Sabres win in Boston on Saturday. Robin Lehner was stuck with the loss on Sunday, so the Sabres will go back to Johnson tonight vs. the Lightning. Johnson has won two of his last three starts while stopping 85 of 92 shots (.924 SV%) but remains a terrible option tonight vs. Tampa Bay.
