Bobrovsky stretched out to make a save, but had to be helped off of the ice while he was unable to apply any weight to his right leg. This would only further add to the injury woes the Blue Jackets have had to deal with. Expect an update to come tomorrow, because it will be announced whether or not he will be able to play in the All Star game.
Quick allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Kings 2-1 OT loss to the Flames on Monday. Quick and the Kings continue to slide. He has gone 0-2-3 with a 3.74 GAA and .860 SV% in his last six appearances. Tonight Quick will meet the Sharks for the third time this year—he is 1-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .898 SV% in the firs two.
Rask made 36 saves on 37 shots in the Bruins 3-1 win over the Stars last night. Rask was excellent last night, like he has been in his last seven starts. In his last seven starts he has gone 5-1-1 with an awesome 1.41 GAA and .954 SV%. He has gone 0-2-1 with a 2.82 GAA and .904 SV% in the second game of back-to-back sets.
Bobrovsky stopped 25 of 26 shots in the Blue Jackets 3-1 win over the Wild on Monday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Bob, who will likely make his 32nd start of the season tonight. He comes in ranked t-15th in the NHL in Wins (16), 20th in SV% (.915) and 32nd in GAA (2.80).
Malkin was on the ice for warmups, but was a late scratch. The injury is not serious, he is expected to be back after the All Star break.
Malkin left last night's game with an undisclosed injury, but he will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks.
Letang suffered a head injury in last night's loss to the Flyers. Derrick Pouliot will return to the lineup with Letang out. He is day-to-day.
Flyers GM Ron Hextall said that Mason is doing better and that he will hopefully start the Flyers first game back on Tuesday vs. the Coyotes. The Flyers have gone 3-3-0 with Mason out of the lineup.
Crawford was given last night vs. Arizona off, presumably to save him for tonight’s game in Pittsburgh. He allowed five goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Stars on Sunday. He comes in having gone 3-4-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .917 SV% in January. He will face an Penguins team who have lost three straight.
Laughton will miss his fourth consecutive game with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. There has been very limited updates on Laughton so there is no telling when he will be back. Look for him to return shortly after the All Star break.
Malkin apparently got dinged up in last night’s loss to the Flyers. He did not play after the 15:55 mark of the third period and was not on the ice for the Penguins optional morning skate today. Monitor his status during warmups, which get underway at 7:30 PM ET.
Niemi gave up four goals on 23 shots in the Sharks 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames on Saturday. After going 7-1-1 in December, January hasn’t been kind to Niemi.

Jooris missed five games with an undisclosed injury and serve as a healthy scratch on Monday, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Anaheim. Jooris will centre the top-line with Johnny Gaudreau and Jiri Hudler on his wings. He has 14 points (9G / 5A) in 31 games this season.
