McCoshen was in the Panthers lineup on Tuesday but will be replace by Mackenzie Weegar tonight in Detroit.

Weegar has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Ian McCoshen in Detroit tonight. Weegar has one goal and two assists in 23 games this season.

Subban allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Maple Leafs on New Year’s Eve. It wasn’t his best outing, but it was enough to record the ‘W’, his 10th of the season. Subban has been sharp all season, posting a 2.25 GAA and .922 SV% in 13 appearances—he makes for an intriguing option as he goes head-to-head with Jeff Glass in Chicago.

Dell made 30 saves on 31 shots in the Sharks win in Montreal on Tuesday. With Martin Jones starting last night, Dell gets the nod tonight in Ottawa. Dell comes into play ranked third in the NHL in both GAA (1.98) and SV% (.934). He is an excellent option tonight in Ottawa against a Senators team that has gone 4-14-4 since mid-November.

Reimer allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Panthers loss in Minnesota on Tuesday. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Reimer, who will start what would have been the tail-end of a back-to-back after last night’s game in Boston was cancelled due to inclement weather. Reimer is 1-0-1 with a 1.42 GAA and .959 SV% in two starts vs. Detroit this season.

Johnson stopped all 10 shots that he faced after replacing Robin Lenher in last night’s blowout loss in Minnesota. With the Sabres on a back-to-back Johnson will get a shot tonight in Winnipeg. In 11 appearances this season, Johnson has gone 1-6-3 with a 3.68 GAA and .884 SV%, making him an extremely risky option against a talented Jets team on no rest.

Jarry stopped 16 of 17 shots before leaving Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia with an undisclosed injury. Despite leaving the game, Jarry was back on the ice on Thursday and backed up Matt Murray. Jarry will start the tail-end of the back-to-back and has a nice matchup against an Islanders team that has lost four straight and 11 of their last 15 (4-9-2).

Fritz was in the lineup for the last two games but failed to record a point. He will come out of the lineup vs. the Penguins with Alan Quine drawing back in.

Quine has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will draw in for Tanner Fritz tonight vs. the Penguins. Quine has just two assists in 11 games this season.

Halak allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Islanders loss to the Bruins on Tuesday. Halak has dropped three straight games while posting a 4.94 GAA and .881 SV%. Halak has struggled this season, posting a 3.19 GAA and .904 SV% in 25 games—in his first game vs. the Penguins, Halak allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-3 OT loss.

Bishop allowed three goals on 42 shots in the Stars win over the Devils on Thursday. Bishop has won three of his last four starts while posting a 1.76 GAA, .947 SV% and one shutout. In his first two appearances against the Oilers, Bishop has gone 1-1-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .906 SV%.

Dunn has missed the last two games and will miss at least two more games as he is sidelined with an illness. Monitor his status heading into next Tuesday’s home game vs. the Panthers.

Baertschi has been sidelined since December 9th with a fractured jaw but it sounds like his return is on the horizon. Monitor his status as the Canucks head into Montreal on Sunday.
