Sgarbossa had one assist in four games with the Ducks last week and returns for tonight’s game vs. the Penguins. There’s no word whether or not Sgarbossa will be back in the lineup tonight. He has one goal in two games with San Diego.
Tokarski was serving as John Gibson’s backup while Jonathan Bernier was sidelined, but with Bernier set to return on Tuesday, Tokarski will return to San Diego.
O’Connor was recalled because the Senators were without Craig Anderson and Andrew Hammond, but with Anderson back and the Senators acquiring Mike Condon from Pittsburgh, O’Connor has been optioned back to Binghamton. O’Connor is 1-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .919 SV% in three AHL games.
Condon was picked up off of waivers from the Canadiens, but only appeared in one game with Penguins—a relief appearance, stopping all seven shots in Nashville. Condon is 21-25-6 with a career .904 SV% in his NHL career. The acquisition of Condon, suggests that Andrew Hammond’s injury is more serious than originally expected.
Heinen failed to record a point in seven games with the Bruins. Heinen played in the top-6 with regularity, but could produce offensively. With David Pastrnak ready to return from suspension, the Bruins will roll with Austin Czarnik instead of Heinen.
Mrazek was yanked after he allowed four goals on 10 shots in the Red Wings’ loss to the Panthers on Sunday. It was Mrazek’s worst start of the year so far, but it looks like the Red Wings will come back to Mrazek tonight in Philadelphia. Mrazek is 4-3-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .910 SV% and he’ll face a Flyers team that is 4-5-1 despite ranking third in scoring (3.50 G/PG).
Drouin got crunched by Islanders’ defenseman Calvin de Haan and was forced to leave the game and did not return. The hit was to Drouin’s head, so there is some immediate concussion concern, but the Lightning have not released any information on his condition.
Copp, 22, has picked up five assists in eight games with Manitoba this season. The 2013 fourth round pick played 77 games with the Jets last year, collecting seven goals and six assists (13 points). He is expected to take Shawn Matthias’ spot in the lineup after he landed on IR on Wednesday.
Matthias left Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. Matthias’ injury is serious enough that he will miss at least one week, so the Jets have moved him to IR. With a roster spot open, the Jets have recalled Andrew Copp from Manitoba (AHL).
Neuvirth allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Flyers’ win in Carolina on Sunday. It was just his second win of the year and Neuvirth has not been off to a good start. The Czech netminder has a 3.84 GAA and .861 SV%, but Steve Mason is basically in the same boat, which is why Neuvirth will start tonight. He has strong matchup against a Red Wings team that hasn’t won in Philadelphia since 1996-97.
Tanev has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will return to the lineup on Wednesday. Tanev has picked up one assist and four shots on goal while averaging 20:03 TOI in his first six games this season.
Dorsett has missed the last four games with a shoulder injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Montreal. Dorsett has just one assist an seven PIMS in five games this season. Expect him to take Jack Skille’s spot in the lineup.
Miller allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Canucks’ loss to the Oilers on Friday. Jacob Markstrom started on Saturday, so they’ll come back to Miller tonight vs. the Canadiens. Miller has a 1-3-0 record despite posting a great 1.74 GAA and .939 SV% in four starts. As good as he has played, the Canucks aren’t good and he draws a terrible matchup tonight in Montreal.

Chabot, 19, was the No.18 overall pick in 2015, but only appeared in one game during the Senators’ first nine games. Chabot had a tough time cracking the lineup, so he heads back to Saint John, where he had 11 goals and 34 assists (45 points) in 47 games a season ago.
Price stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Price has won each of his first five starts in 2016-17, while posting a 1.40 GAA and .954 SV%. Price is simply amazing and it helps to have the NHL’s fourth ranked offence in front of you (3.44 G/PG). Price is an obvious must-start tonight vs. NHL’s worst offence (1.78 G/PG).
Neuvirth allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Flyers’ win in Carolina on Sunday. It was just his second win of the year and Neuvirth has not been off to a good start. The Czech netminder has a 3.84 GAA and .861 SV%, but Steve Mason is basically in the same boat, which is why Neuvirth will start tonight. He has strong matchup against a Red Wings team that hasn’t won in Philadelphia since 1996-97.
Budaj allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Kings’ loss in Chicago on Sunday. Budaj won four in a row, but has now lost his last two starts, but finished October with a 1.99 GAA and .916 SV% in six starts and one relief appearance. He appears to be the Kings’ netminder, at least for the immediate future. Tonight he makes for a solid start vs. Anaheim.
Rinne allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Predators’ loss in San Jose on Saturday. Rinne has dropped five consecutive games since winning his season opener. The veteran netminder posted a 3.22 GAA and .906 SV% in the month of October and tonight he takes on an Avalanche team that is 16th in scoring (2.71 G/PG).
