The Bruins have recalled Craig Cunningham from Providence (AHL).

Luongo (arm) will travel on the Panthers two-game road trip.

Luongo missed Friday’s game with an arm injury that he suffered on Wednesday. The Panthers will bring all three of their goalies on the short road-trip, which is good news that Bobby Lu won’t be out for long. Monitor his status during Monday’s morning skate.

Miller is expected to start in goal vs. the Red Wings.

Miller stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Canucks 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets on Friday. It was his second straight shutout and fourth straight win while plotting a 1.25 GAA and .954 SV%. He enters play this afternoon with a 152 minute shutout streak.

The Red Wings have activated Brendan Smith (hand) from IR and he will play Sunday.

Smith has missed the last five games with a hand infection he suffered in a fight with Nick Foligno. With Smith being activated, the Red Wings have assigned Xavier Ouellet to Grand Rapids. Smith has six points (2G / 4A) in 18 games this season.

Brendan Smith
Komarov suffered an upper-body injury on Saturday and did not return.

Komarov caught an elbow to the back of the head/neck from Alex Ovechkin. Komarov seemed a bit dazed and left for the dressing room immediately. The elbow looked inadvertent and there was no penalty called on the play. There’s no word on how long Komarov will be out.

Leo Komarov
Gaborik missed Saturday’s game with a “minor” upper-body injury.

There is not much information about the nature or the severity of Gaborik’s injury. The Kings don’t play again until Tuesday, so expect a more detailed injury report in the coming days and monitor his status leading up to Tuesday’s game vs. the Bruins.

Lindback leads the Stars onto the ice for warmups.

Lindback allowed two goals on nine shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen on November 18th. He has really struggled this season and could be making his last start of the season tonight if he struggles.

Backstrom starts for the Wild.

Backstrom stopped all 12 shots that he faced after replacing Darcy Kuemper in the Wild’s 4-0 loss to the Kings on Wednesday. He has a 2.04 GAA and .914 SV% in seven games this season. He is a risky start with the Blues in town.

Greiss starts for the Penguins.

Greiss allowed four goals on 35 shots in the Penguins loss to the Islanders last Saturday. Despite the loss, Greiss has been really good, posting a 2.46 GAA and .924 SV% in four games this season. If you are looking for a spot-start tonight, Greiss might be your guy as they get set to take on the Hurricanes.
