Halak stopped eight of 10 shots in the Islanders win over the Sabres on Sunday. Yep, he faced a total of 10 shots in a full 60-minute NHL hockey game…Buffalo is crazy bad. It could be a similar night tonight with the Oilers in town. Halak enters play tonight 4-2-0 with a 2.65 GAA and .899 SV% in his last six starts.
Svedberg went 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .911 SV% on his four game conditioning stint with Providence. At the NHL level he is 5-5-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .922 SV% this season. He draws a tough assignment tonight with the Stars in town, but Svedberg has been solid at home—1-2-0 / 1.68 GAA / .939 SV% in three starts.
Enroth stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Sabres 3-2 win over the Stars on Saturday night. Enroth has won two of his last three while posting a 2.00 GAA and .942 SV%. Tonight he will take on the Senators for the third time this season—he is 1-1-0 with a 3.95 GAA and .882 SV% in the first two meetings.
de Haan was held out of Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but he is on the ice this morning which is a good sign that he will play tonight vs. the Oilers. Monitor his status after the practice session.
Clutterbuck missed Sunday’s game vs. the Sabres, but his presence at the morning skate suggests he could be back in tonight. Monitor his status after the session.
Oleksy, 29, has not played a game with the Capitals this season. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) and 106 PIMS in 44 games with Hershey. He has 10 points (2G / 8A) and 53 PIMS in 33 games with the Capitals last year.
Glencross had missed the previous 10 games with a lower-body injury, but was back on the third line on Monday vs. the Sharks. He was eased back into the lineup but should be able to work his way back up the depth chart.
Carter left in the first period after crashing into the end boards. He was reportedly seen leaving the rink with his arm in a sling and according to coach Mike Yeo, he is not expected to be back in the lineup in the near future. With the Wild down two forwards and just one healthy scratch on Monday, expect a roster move on Tuesday.
Zucker left after a hard into the boards in the first period. Coach Mike Yeo said that Zucker is not expected to be back in the lineup in the near future. With Zucker out, expect Justin Fontaine to get back in the lineup on Tuesday after being a healthy scratch on Monday.
Mitchell is improving, but will be held out of his third consecutive game when the Panthers take on the Ducks on Tuesday. Monitor the veteran D-man’s status leading up to Thursday’s game in Minnesota.
Rattie had one assist, two PIMS and three shots on goal while averaging 8:56 TOI in five games during his recall. With Jori Lehtera set to return on Tuesday, the Blues had to make room.
Bonino left after playing 7:42 and did not return to the Canucks 5-3 loss to the Wild. He was spotted wearing a walking boot when he was leaving the arena which suggests the injury is to his foot or ankle. Consider him day-to-day until the Canucks release a full injury report.
Smith made 36 saves on 38 shots in the Coyotes 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks last night. Despite the busy night, he is expected to go again tonight in St. Louis. All of the Mike Smith of old is back—he has gone 2-1-1 with a 1.45 GAA and .956 SV% in his last four starts. However, tonight's matchup on the tail-end of a back-to-back is terrifying from a fantasy perspective.
Quick stopped 26 of 28 shots that he faced in the Kings 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday. It was an important win for Quick, who has had his fair-share of struggles this season. He enters play on Monday 16th in the NHL in wins (18), 23rd in GAA (2.51) and 28th in SV% (.910), not quite what owners were expecting when he was drafted in the second round (on average).
Fontaine has missed the last three games, but is eligible to return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canucks. Fontaine has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 42 games this season.
Harrington has been a healthy scratch in the last four games and has been reassigned to WBS. Harrington has played in 10 NHL games with Pittsburgh this season, averaging 15:48 minutes.
Clendening has one assist and a plus-4 rating in four games since being traded to the Canucks. He will take a seat with Chris Tanev likely returning to the lineup.
Murray, 21, who missed 44 games earlier this season due to a knee injury is now out with a high-ankle sprain. Murray is expected to miss four to six weeks.
Lindholm missed practice on Monday and is listed as day-to-day. Lindholm’s status for Tuesday’s game remains up in the air. Monitor his status during Tuesday’s morning skate.
Andersen is listed as day-to-day for now, but at this time there is no word if John Gibson will be recalled for Tuesday’s game. Continue to monitor Andersen’s status heading into tomorrow’s game.
