NHL Hockey Player News

Fleury allowed four goals on 29 shots, but walked away with a 6-4 win over the Ducks on Thursday. Tonight he will take on the Maple Leafs, who lost to the Canadiens in their season opener.

Enroth allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Sabres loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Buffalo was dominated throughout the night, which will likely be a trend Enorth owners will have to get used to. Keep him on the bench tonight when he takes on the Blackhawks.

Jared Tinordi will enter the lineup with Emelin out, but the Canadiens would not say who will play with P.K Subban. Consider Emelin day-to-day.

Expect Brian McGrattan to slide back into the lineup with Jones battling a lower-body injury.

Expect Devin Setoguchi to be in the lineup tonight against the Blues with Hudler sitting with an illness. Consider Hudler day-to-day.

Holtby stopped 23 of 24 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens on opening night. It was a nice start for Holtby, but the Capitals had a tough time beating Dustin Tokarski. Holtby will be back in goal tonight, but draws a tough matchup in Boston.

Hiller allowed three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Canucks on opening night. Karri Ramo got the win vs. Edmonton on the following night, but it looks like the Flames will go back to Hiller tonight, but he draws a terrible matchup vs. St. Louis. He will make for a solid number-2 fantasy netminder, but this is not a favourable matchup.

Khudobin will start after Cam Ward allowed allowed five goals last night. This is a good chance for Khudobin to lock down some playing time with a good start. The Islanders outplayed the Hurricanes tonight, but expect a better effort from Carolina tonight.

Stastny missed practice friday but was back on the ice for Saturdays morning skate and is expected to in the line up vs the Flames. Stastny scored in his Blues debut and with snipers Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Steen on his wings, Stastny is set up for another good year so get him in your line up when he's healthy.

The Flyers are off to a slow start at 0-2 so they have shaken up all three of their top lines in search of more offense. Whoever is playing with Giroux and Voracek is bound to produce at a higher level but Raffl is not a great fantasy option because his job on the top line may be short lived.

Franson was back on the ice for practice Saturday morning and said that he's ready to play. All that Head Coach Randy Carlyle would divulge is that Franson is "an option". We won't know Fransons's status until warm-ups tonight.

Howard was not very busy on opening night. He allowed a goal on the first shot of the game, but closed the door for the rest of the night. He finished the night with 16 saves in the Red Wings 2-1 win over the Bruins. He draws another terrible matchup tonight vs. the Ducks.

Johnson's first start as an Islander will come in the second game of the home-and-home vs. the Hurricanes. He will look to follow Jaroslav Halak who started in New York's 5-3 win last night. Johnson was 17-4-3 with a 2.10 GAA and .925 SV% with the Bruins last season.

Rask allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Bruins 2-1 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday. The Bruins struggled playing on consecutive nights, but should be much better in front of Rask tonight vs. Washington. He was 1-1 with a 2.03 GAA and .915 SV% vs. the Capitals last year.

Bishop stopped 19 of 21 shots and assisted on the game-winning goal in the Lightning's 3-2 OT win over the Panthers on Thursday. Bishop picked up right where he left off last season and should make for a great start against his former team (Ottawa) tonight on home-ice.

Hiller allowed three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Canucks on opening night. Karri Ramo got the win vs. Edmonton on the following night, but it looks like the Flames will go back to Hiller tonight, but he draws a terrible matchup vs. St. Louis. He will make for a solid number-2 fantasy netminder, but this is not a favourable matchup.

Steve Mason allowed seven goals on 58 shots (.879 SV%) in the Flyers first two games, so they will turn to Emery tonight vs. Montreal. Emery had a spectacular season in the lockout shortened season with Chicago, but struggled to find his way back in Philly in 2013-14. He gets a tough matchup tonight and should be avoided as a spot start.

Luongo allowed three goals on 32 shots in a 3-2 OT loss to the Lightning on Thursday. The Panthers were in penalty trouble all night and the Lightning only scored on the power-play in regulation. Expect them to be more disciplined tonight against a Devils team who surpirsingly scored six goals in their opener.

Steve Mason allowed seven goals on 58 shots (.879 SV%) in the Flyers first two games, so they will turn to Emery tonight vs. Montreal. Emery had a spectacular season in the lockout shortened season with Chicago, but struggled to find his way back in Philly in 2013-14. He gets a tough matchup tonight and should be avoided as a spot start.

Bobrovsky allowed a single goal on 22 shots in a win over the Sabres in the season opener. Tonight, Bob gets the nod in the Blue Jackets home opener against a Rangers team who are starting their backup. Bob was 1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and .925 SV% against the Rangers a season ago.
