Coreau allowed five goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings loss in Colorado March 18th. Since coming up from the AHL, Coreau has gone 0-3-0 with a brutal 4.47 GAA and .856 SV% in four starts. He is a terrible option regardless of matchup right now.
Grubauer allowed four goals on 21 shots in the Capitals win in Montreal on Saturday. It wasn’t the best outing for Grubauer, but it was enough to get the win and earn him another start tonight in New York. He is 5-2-0 with a 2.12 GAA and .927 SV% in March and will be looking to set a new career-high in wins in a season (14) with a ‘W’ tonight.
Raanta stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Coyotes win in Buffalo last Wednesday. Darcy Kuemper starts the last two games, but Raanta will get a shot tonight in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.81 GAA and .945 SV% in five starts this month.
Domingue allowed one goal on 30 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Oilers on March 18th. Domingue has won four straight starts while giving up just 10 goals on 130 shots (.923 SV%). He gets a nice opportunity to face his former team tonight and they come in having lost four of their last six.
This is a tough break for owners who are relying on Stamkos in the finals this week, but it head coach Jon Cooper said it is not a long-term injury. Stamkos is listed as day-to-day and should travel for the Lightning's back-to-back in Boston/New York later this week.
Price gave up six goals on 30 shots in the Candadiens loss to the Capitals on Saturday. Price has struggled mightily since returning to the crease last Wednesday, allowing a combined 11 goals on 69 shots (.841 SV%) in two starts. Despite his struggles, he remains a strong option tonight with the Red Wings in town.
Cizikas will be replaced by Chris Wagner tonight and there are some “longer-term concerns” for Cizikas according to head coach Doug Weight. Cizikas is not expected to travel to Ottawa for Tuesday’s game.
Wagner was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Casey Cizikas in the lineup tonight vs. the Panthers. Wagner is still searching for his first point as an Islander.
Ward allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Hurricanes win in Ottawa on Saturday. The Hurricanes will stick with Ward tonight as they wrap-up a home-and-home with the Senators. He is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .955 SV% in his two games vs. Ottawa this season.
The Wild inked Jordan Greenway to a three-year, entry-level contract this morning so they had to clear room to add him to the roster. Mitchell returns to Iowa, where he has 14 goals and 15 assists (29 points) in 33 games this season.
Greenway, 21, was a second round pick (No.50 overall) in 2015 and is set to join the Wild after finishing up his junior year at Boston University. Greenway is an absolute monster, standing in at 6-foot-5, 230 lbs. and is coming off of a year in which he scored 13 goals with 22 assists (35 points) in 36 games. He could jump right into the Minnesota lineup and could be an important addition for them in the postseason.
Foligno finished Saturday’s game against the Blues, so there’s no word on when the Blue Jackets’ captain sustained the injury. The timing could not be worse for Foligno, as Columbus has been red-hot and this injury could force him to miss the start of the playoffs. He has picked up one goal and five assists (six points) in his last seven games.
Gibson was pulled after he allowed six goals on 24 shots in the Islanders loss to the Lightning last Thursday. Gibson has gone 2-1-2 with a 3.48 GAA and .915 SV% in six starts since being called-up and will be in tough tonight with Florida in town—they are 12-3-1 in their last 16 games.
