NHL Hockey Player News

Gibson allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Ducks loss in Columbus last Friday. Ryan Miller gave him the night off on Saturday, so Gibson will get back in the crease tonight in Vegas. The 24-year-old is 3-3-0 with a 3.51 GAA and .901 SV% in seven road starts this season.

Brossoit allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Oilers win in Calgary on Saturday. Since Cam Talbot went down with injury, Brossoit has allowed a combined 10 goals on 69 shots (/855 SV%) in two starts. The young netminder has had a tough season, making him a risky spot start, even against a struggling Philadelphia team.

Connor missed Sunday’s games against the Senators because of a lower-body injury, but traveled with the Jets to Detroit and is expected to play tonight. Connor took part in line rushes at the morning skate and was back in his spot on the top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Connor has been great since being called up, recording 17 points (9G / 8A) in 21 games.

Markstrom made 35 saves on 36 shots in the Canucks win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Markstrom has just two wins in his last seven starts and has allowed at least three goals in five of those games. Tonight the Canucks host the Hurricanes and Markstrom comes in at 3-5-2 with a 2.49 GAA and .919 SV5% on home-ice this season.

Lehner allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Sabres loss to the Penguins last Friday. Lehner has just two wins in his last 10 appearances, posting a 2.75 GAA and .909 SV% in the process. Tonight he gets the nod in Colorado and the 26-year-old has been a disaster on the road—going 2-6-1 with a 4.24 GAA and .868 SV%.

Haapala spent five games with the Panthers and even saw some power-play one time, but picked up just one assist during that time. Haapala returns to the AHL where he has seven points (2G / 5A) in 11 games with Springfield.

Megna, 24, has one assist in 11 games with the Ducks this season and one assist in three games with San Diego. Megna has been recalled because Hampus Lindholm is questionable for tonight’s game due to an upper-body injury.

Lindholm missed Monday’s practice and is listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Golden Knights. With Lindholm in question, the Ducks are expected to recall Jaycob Megna from San Diego (AHL).

Subban allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Coyotes on Sunday. Since returning to the Vegas crease, Subban has three wins with a 2.27 GAA and .919 SV% in four starts and one relief appearance. The 23-year-old starts tonight vs. the Ducks on home-ice where he is 4-1-0 with a 2.06 GAA and .931 SV%.

Quick allowed one goal on 25 shots in the Kings win in Chicago on Sunday. After ending a lengthy posting streak, Quick has now won four in a row while allowing just five goals on 104 shots (.952 SV%). The 31-year-old has gone 5-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .930 SV% in 11 starts at the STAPLES Center this season.

Jarry stopped 32 of 33 shots in the Penguins’ win over the Sabres on Saturday. Since taking over for the injured Matt Murray, Jarry has stopped 66 of the 67 shots (.985 SV%) that he has faced. Overall, the 22-year-old has gone 4-0-2 with a 1.99 GAA and .937 SV% in five starts and one relief appearance this season.

Moulson, 34, failed to record a point in 14 games with the Sabres this season, leading to him being placed on waivers on Monday. Moulson struggled since signing with the Sabres prior to the 2014-15 season, registering just 94 points (35G / 59A) in 253 games. He will play in the AHL for the first time since 2008-09.

Hellebuyck stopped all 21 shots that he faced in the Jets’ shutout win over the Senators on Sunday. Hellebuyck has started six straight games, winning four of them with a 2.42 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout. He is a must-start in Detroit against a Red Wings team that is on a seven-game losing streak (0-4-3).

Lundqvist allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Rangers win over the Hurricanes. Lundqvist has been victorious in five of his last six starts while posting a 1.68 GAA, .945 SV% and one shutout. In his first start against the Penguins, Lundqvist allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-4-overtime loss.

Bishop allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Stars win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Kari Lehtonen started the back-end of their back-to-back, but they’ll come back to Bishop tonight vs. the Predators. Bishop has won four in a row while posting a 2.20 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout and will look to make it five straight against a Predators team that played last night.

Allen allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Blues loss in Minnesota on Saturday. The 27-year-old has gone 5-3-2 with a 2.84 GAA and .903 SV% on the road this season and he will be in tough tonight in Montreal as he will go head-to-head with Carey Price, who has won five straight games since returning to the Canadiens’ crease.

Lovejoy has appeared in 16 games this season, picking up just four points (1G / 3A). Tonight he will sit and Steve Santini will take his spot on the blueline.

Santini was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Ben Lovejoy in the lineup in Columbus. Santini will likely skate with Will Butcher and comes in with six points (1G / 5A) in 22 games this season.
