Andersen allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Ducks win over the Sharks on Tuesday. Andersen has won four straight starts while posting a 1.75 GAA and .939 SV%.

Andersen gave up two goals on 34 shots in the Ducks win in Boston last Tuesday. Andersen has won three straight games while posting a 1.67 GAA and .940 SV%. Tonight, Andersen will face the Sharks for the second time this season. The first meeting was back on October 10th—he stopped 42 of 44 shots in a 2-0 loss.

He has won his last two starts while stopping 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%). Andersen still sits below .500 on the year and has struggled on the road, going 2-7-2 with a 2.65 GAA and .908 SV%.

Andersen allowed one goal on 25 shots in the Ducks win over the Senators on Wednesday. It was a nice game for Anderseon, who has fallen behind John Gibson on the depth chart.

Gostisbehere skated on Thursday and says he will return to the lineup on Saturday. Gostisbehere has missed the last two games, but his availability means that Brandon Manning will likely become a healthy scratch.

Stastny missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but he will be back on the Blues top line tonight vs. the Hurricanes. Stastny has had a hard time finding the back of the net (3 goals in 28 games) but has picked up 15 helpers.

Andersen allowed one goal on 13 shots after replacing an injured John Gibson in the Ducks loss to the Maple Leafs last Wednesday. Andersen hasn’t notched a win since December 19th but he will get a shot tonight vs. the Senators. In seven starts, Andersen has gone 3-1-3 with a 2.33 GAA and .919 SV% on home ice.

Gostisbehere took part in Tuesday’s practice, but he will not play Wednesday. After tomorrow, the Flyers don’t play until Saturday, so Gostisbehere gets a few extra recovery days. Monitor his status leading up to Saturday’s game vs. the Rangers.

Stastny took part in the Blues’ morning skate, but will be held out of the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Stastny is listed as day-to-day so his status for Thursday’s game remains up in the air.

Stastny missed Sunday’s game, but his injury update was about the only good news the Blues received on Monday. He is day-to-day, but could play on Tuesday vs. the Devils. Monitor his status during the Blues’ morning skate.

Stastny played just 4:26 before retiring to the dressing room for the evening. Following Friday’s game, Ken Hitchcock did not have an update on Stastny, so consider him questionable for Saturday’s contest.

Gostisbehere left Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and will not play on Saturday. Brandon Manning will get back into the lineup with Gostisbehere out. He is expected to be evaluated over the next 24 hours and a detailed injury report should be released on Saturday.

Tokarski has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .878 SV% with the Canadiens this season and 3-3-4 with a 2.84 GAA and .909 SV% with St. John’s (AHL). Acquiring Tokarski gives the Ducks four NHL-read net minders, John Gibson, Frederik Andersen, Anton Khudobin and Tokarski. The chances of the Ducks actually carrying all four seem slim, so expect them to have another move up their sleeve, likely moving Khudobin so he can play in the NHL.

Andersen allowed three goals on 11 shots in the Ducks loss in the Islanders on December 21st. John Gibson has started the last four games, but Andersen will start the second game of the back-to-back. Andersen is 5-8-4 with a2.59 GAA and .911 SV% on the season and draws a strong matchup against the 14-15-9 Canucks.

Tokarski was 1-3-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .878 SV% in his time with the Canadiens. Montreal acquired Ben Scrivens this morning, so he will become their new backup with Tokarski going back to St. John’s. Tokarski has gone 2-3-3 with a 3.20 GAA and .900 SV% with the IceCaps this season.
