Dubnyk will start in goal for the Coyotes.

Dubnyk allowed three goals on 43 shots in the Coyotes win over the Sharks last Saturday. He has been much better than Mike Smith this season and with another win tonight he could carve out a larger role. He has gone 5-0-1 with a 2.34 GAA and .926 SV% on the year.

Devan Dubnyk
Enroth starts for the Sabres.

Enroth stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Sabres win over the Canadiens last night. He will get another shot at the Habs tonight in Montreal. He has gone 3-4-0 with a 3.17 GAA and .909 SV% in November. Despite the win last night, he is a risky start tonight.

Jhonas Enroth
Emery leads the Flyers onto the ice for warmups.

Emery allowed a single goal on 10 shots after replacing Steve Mason in the Flyers loss to the Red Wings on Wednesday. He has four wins with a 3.16 GAA and a .898 SV% in nine appearances on the season. He has a tough matchup vs. the Rangers.

Ray Emery
Sounds as if Greiss will for the Penguins tonight.

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.

Thomas Greiss
Zajac (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.

Zajac suffered the lower-body injury on Friday vs. the Red Wings. He will be replaced by Jordin Tootoo in the lineup tonight vs. the Isles. The injury is not believed to be serious and he is expected to be back in the lineup next week.

Travis Zajac
Henrique (upper-body) will not play on Saturday.

Henrique suffered the upper-body injury on Friday vs. the Red Wings. He will be replaced by Damien Brunner in the lineup tonight vs. the Isles. He has recorded two goals and three assists in his last five games, so this is a tough loss for the Devils.

Adam Henrique
Bishop expected to start for the Lightning.

Bishop stopped 16 of 19 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Rangers on Wednesday. Bishop has now won four of his last five starts with a 2.24 GAA and .903 SV% and should make for a great fantasy start tonight vs. his former team.
