Scrivens starts for the Oilers.

Scrivens allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Oilers OT loss to the Jets on Wednesday. Things just keep getting uglier for Scrivens and the Oilers. That is Scrivens ninth straight loss—over that span he has allowed 34 goals (that’s nearly four goals per game) on 265 shots (.872 SV%). With a glance at those numbers, do you trust him in your fantasy lineup right now?

Ben Scrivens
Stalock bak in goal for the Sharks.

Stalock has dressed recently, but has not played a game since November 8th vs. the Stars. Before getting injured, Stalock was 2-2-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .925 SV%. He has been productive this season and should continue that tonight with a juicy matchup vs. the Oilers. He is available in 80% of Yahoo leagues and makes for a great spot-start tonight.

Alex Stalock
Lack gets the nod for the Canucks.

Lack stopped all 13 shots that he faced after replacing Ryan Miller in the Canucks loss to the Leafs last night. With Miller struggling last night, they will turn to Lack for the start tonight in Ottawa. Lack has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and .929 SV% in three road starts and three relief appearances this season.

Eddie Lack
Ward will face the Red Wings this afternoon.

Ward surrendered a single goal on 33 shots in the Hurricanes win over Nashville on Tuesday. He missed Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury, but will be back in goal today vs. the Red Wings. Detroit is hot right now, having won six of their last seven while outscoring their opponents 30-20.

Cam Ward
Mrazek is the Red Wings confirmed starter.

Mrazek gave up four goals on 25 shots in the Red Wings come from behind win over the Devils on November 28th. It has not been pretty, but Mrazek has won both of his starts this season, however he has posted a 3.36 GAA and .875 SV% in the process. If you need Sunday goalie numbers, this matchup sets up nicely for him.

Damien Brunner cleared waivers and has been assigned to Albany (AHL).

Brunner had recorded seven points (2G / 5A) in 17 games this season. It was a bit surprising to see him on waivers considering all the injuries that the Devils are battling up-front.

Pavelec leads the Jets onto the ice for warmups.

Pavelec allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Jets win over the Oilers on Wednesday. He has won each of his last two starts while allowing just three goals on 44 shots (.932 SV%). Today he gets the call in goal vs. a Ducks team who have won three in a row, but will be without Corey Perry.

Ondrej Pavelec
Brodeur will make his home debut on Monday.

Brodeur stopped 14 of 15 shots in relief in the Blues come from behind win over the Islanders on Saturday. It was his first career win with St. Louis and tonight he makes his first home start as he gets set to take on the Panthers. Brodeur has looked strong in two appearances, making him a reasonably safe start tonight.

Martin Brodeur
Anderson starts Sunday vs. Vancouver.

Anderson allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Senators 3-2 loss to the Penguins last night. He gave up a late goal to Christian Ehrhoff thanks to a defensive breakdown. Anderson has lost his last five games with a 3.01 GAA and .914 SV%, but with Robin Lehner out, Anderson will make his fourth straight start.

Craig Anderson
Matthias (head) left Saturday’s game and did not return.

Matthias was elbowed in the head by the Leafs’ defenseman Stephane Robias on Saturday. The Canucks winger struggled to regain his balance after falling to the ice. He was woozy, left the game and didn’t return. Its not a stretch to suggest a concussion because a quiet-room visit and then not returning would mean the customary seven-day window to ensure symptoms subside. If he is unavailable on Sunday, Nicklas Jensen would get into the lineup.
