Hedman has been out since early October with a fractured finger but it looks like he will return tonight. He says he is fine so it is up to the coaches whether or not he gets into the lineup. If he plays, get him in your lineup.
Visnovsky suffered the injury on Friday night and it will keep him out of the lineup tonight vs. New Jersey. He will be replaced by Matt Donovan.
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.
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.
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.
Wennberg has three assists and a minus-14 rating in 21 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Kerby Rychel and Michael Chaput were recalled with Wennberg going down.
Rychel, 20, has collected six goals and seven assists and 30 penalty minutes in 22 games with Springfield in his first professional campaign.

Allen stopped 13 of 16 shots in a win over the Oilers last night. It was not the prettiest outing but he got the job done. With Brian Elliott out it is no surprise to see Allen start the back-to-back. Tonight should be a little more difficult in Minnesota.
Khudobin stopped 17 of 18 shots in a 2-0 loss to San Jose on November 16th. Cam Ward has had a good first quarter which has limited Khudobin to six appearances—He is 0-4-2 with a 2.96 GAA and .898 SV%. Steer clear of him as a spot-start with the Penguins in town.
Ramo stopped all 32 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win over the Sharks on Wednesday. The strong performance has earned him back-to-back starts as he gets set to take on the Coyotes tonight. He has won three in a row with a 1.98 GAA and .930 SV%.
Pickard allowed three goals on 45 shots in the Avs loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Lehtonen gave up two goals on 37 shots in the Stars victory over the Oilers on Tuesday. After a three-game losing streak, Lehtonen has rattled off three straight wins with a 2.33 GAA and .933 SV%. He has lost both starts vs. the Wild with a 3.05 GAA and .885 SV%
Rask allowed three goals on 33 shots in a 3-2 OT loss to the Penguins on Monday. He has lost two in a row, but sits with 10 wins, a 2.40 GAA and .915 SV% in 17 games this season. He is a must-start as usual.
Brewer, 35, has four assists in 17 games with the Lightning this season. The Ducks are going to be without Francois Beauchemin for 4-6 weeks, to they are bring the veteran Brewer in to shore up the back-end.
With Beauchemin out the Ducks have acquired Eric Brewer from the Lightning to help solidify their blue line while Beauchemin is out. He has five assists and a plus-3 on the season.
