Ramo was great in his season debut. He stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Oilers. Ramo goes tonight and Jonas Hiller will go tomorrow, so it looks like the Flames will continue to split up the starts until one of the netminders forces his way into the number-1 job.
Anderson allowed three goals on 37 shots in Ottawa's 3-2 loss to the Predators on opening night. He sat against the Lightning, but gets back in goal with a nice matchup today vs. Florida. The Panthers have struggled to keep the puck out of the net in the early part of the season, so Anderson has a good chance to chalk up his first W of the year.
Nyquist finished Saturday's game on the top-line and it looks like he will start Wednesday's game with Hank and 'The Mule'. Nyquist has picked up right where he left off last season, scoring a goal in each of his first two games.
Ramo was great in his season debut. He stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Oilers. Jonas Hiller started on Saturday vs. the Blues, so it looks like the Flames will continue to split up the starts until one of the netminders forces his way into the number-1 job.
Muzzin has yet to be medically cleared to play on Tuesday and he expressed doubt over his availability for tomorrow. It sounds like the most likely scenario is for Muzzin to return this weekend when the Kings take on the Stars on Saturday.
Nichushkin was replaced by Cody Eakin on the Stars top line in practice and could miss tomorrow's game with and groin and hip ailment that has been bothering him since training camp. Monitor Nichushkin's status during Tuesday's morning skate.
The Blackhawks have just two back-to-backs in their next 18 games, which could set Crawford up to start 16 of the 18 contests. "It’s important we get off to a strong start," said coach Quenneville "When you've got a top guy and you've got time, you might as well play him." Crawford is off to a strong start this season, winning his first two starts with a 1.93 GAA and .930 SV%.
Less than a week ago the Blackhawks announced that Versteeg would miss three weeks with a lower-body injury, but if he is back on the ice in the next couple of days, that timetable could be cut a little short.
Schneider stopped 28 of 29 shots in a 5-1 win over the Panthers on Saturday. Schneider moved to 2-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .926 SV%. The most surprising thing is that the Devils have scored 11 goals in the first two games after averaging just 2.40 G/PG (27th in NHL) a season ago.
Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in a 3-2 win over the Red Wings on Saturday. John Gibson was lit up in his first start, so the Ducks will go to Andersen for two straight games. He is a must-start against Sabres this afternoon.
Berglund missed Saturday's game because he was banged up from a slash on Friday. The injury was not believed to be serious and should not keep him out vs. the Kings. He was reunited with T.J Oshie and David Backes on the Blues top line.
Coburn was reportedly on crutches on Monday, but the Flyers called Coburn day-to-day. Coburn has missed the last two games and will likely miss at least a few more games.
The Ducks are optimistic that Heatley will be returning to the lineup for Anaheim’s October 26 contest at Honda Center against the San Jose Sharks. Heatley suffered a groin injury in a preseason game vs. Los Angeles on September 28.
Head coach Lindy Ruff said he is considering shaking up the lines for Tuesday's game, including putting Eakin on that top line. Seguin and Benn have no points and are a combined minus-6 so far. If Eakin gets moved up that should certainly help him produce and makes him a nice one-day fantasy league option.
The Sabres said that Foligno is "banged up" so he will sit out this afternoon with Brian Flynn getting in the lineup. Consier Foligno day-to-day.
Neuvirth will make his season debut tonight after Jhonas Enroth got the first two starts of the season. Neuvirth was 4-8-2 with a 2.78 GAA and .921 SV% last season, but should not be considered this after noon with the Ducks in town.
Varlamov allowed two goals on 33 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Wild on Saturday. Overall he allowed seven goals on 71 shots (.901 SV%) in the home-and-home series while the Avalanche scored zero goals. On Tuesday, he takes on a Leafs team coming off of a big win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Dwyer joins and already crowded injury report in Carolina. He will not play vs. the Sabres and either with Eric Staal (upper-body), Jeff Skinner (concussion) or Jordan Staal (leg). Dwyer has no points and a minus-1 rating in two games this season.
This will be Svedberg's first start of the season and the second NHL game of his career. The 25-year-old netminder was 25-15-4 with a 2.63 GAA and .910 SV% with the Providence Bruins (AHL) last season. He will start against an Avalanche team still searching for their first goal of the season.
Skinner has not played this season, but the Hurricanes expect him to be on the ice with the team on Tuesday and possibly make his season debut on Thursday. Eric Staal was injured over the weekend, so getting Skinner back in the lineup will be huge for the Hurricanes.
