Bishop has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the crease tonight vs. the Sabres. The 30-year-old has gone 9-10-2 with a 2.79 GAA and .907 SV% on the season and will be looking to improve in the second half. He stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 4-1 win in his first start against the Sabres this season.

Mason allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Flyers loss in Buffalo on Tuesday. Mason has struggled, losing seven consecutive starts, but will start again tonight. Mason is 10-5-3 with a 2.58 GAA and .913 SV% on home ice and tonight he faces a Canucks team that has gone 6-1-1 in their last eight games.
Miller was a healthy scratch on Sunday and then got hurt when he got back into the lineup in St. Louis on Tuesday. If Miller can’t play, expect John-Michael Liles to get back into the lineup.
Schneider allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Devils’ loss to the Panthers on Monday. Schneider has gone 2-2-1 with a 1.63 GAA and .945 SV% in January, a huge upgrade in his play from his first three months of the year. He’ll face the Oilers for the second time in a week—he allowed two goals on 43 shot in a 2-1 OT loss to Edmonton last Saturday.
Price gave up four goals on 39 shots in the Canadiens’ loss to Washington on Monday. Surprisingly enough, Price has given up three or more goals in five of his last six starts, going 2-2-2 with a 3.11 GAA and .903 SV%. It has been a tough stretch for Price, who will face the Wild for the second time this season—in the first meeting he allowed three goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss.
Ryan Getzlaf continues to battle injury, so if he can’t play on Thursday, Noesen might draw in for the eighth time this season. The 23-year-old has collected one goal with Anaheim and 15 points (6G / 9A) in 22 games during his time in San Diego.
Theodore, 21, has split his season between the NHL and AHL. In 21 games with the Ducks he has six points (1G / 5A) and has picked up nine points (1G / 8A) in 11 games with the Gulls. He swaps places with Brandon Montour and should be in the lineup on Thursday.
Montour averaged 15:08 TOI/GM in five games since being recalled from San Diego. Montour failed to record a point and will swap places with Shea Theodore and goes back to the Gulls, where he has 21 points (7G / 14A) in 25 games this season.
Streit has been sidelined since December 11th and is nearing a return, but it won’t come Thursday vs. the Canucks. Monitor his status as the Flyers head into their weekend back-to-back with the Bruins and Capitals.
Brouwer skated in a no-contact jersey during the Flames morning skate on Wednesday, but will miss his eighth straight game tonight vs. San Jose. Monitor his status as we head into the weekend.
Lander had one goal and averaged just 6:57 TOI in four games during his call-up. Lander wasn’t great, but he’ll return to the AHL where he has an impressive 21 points (10G / 11A) in 13 games this year. His demotion might also be related to wanting him to play on a line with Jesse Puljujarvi, who was just recently sent down as well.
Khaira, 22, was a third round pick in 2012 and appeared in 15 games with the Oilers last season, collecting two assists and 13 PIMS. In 24 games with Bakersfield this season the Surrey, B.C. native has eight goals and 10 assists.
Lehner missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Flyers because of an illness and will not travel with the team on their brief two-game road trip on Thursday and Friday. With Lehner staying in Buffalo, Anders Nilsson will be the starter and Linus Ullmark will travel as the backup.
Plekanec missed the Canadiens’ morning skate and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Jets. The Canadiens are banged up, so add Plekanec to a lengthy list. He has one goal and one assist in his last two games and 18 points (4G / 14A) in 41 games this season.
Grant has picked up three assists and 19 penalty minutes across 35 games with the Sabres this season. The Sabers will planning to send him to Rochester (AHL), but the Predators have added some depth to their fourth line and sent Frederik Gauthier to Milwaukee (AHL).
