Khudobin allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Stars loss in Boston on Monday. Khudobin has played very well in his last two starts, stopping 64 of 67 shots (.955 SV%). So far this season, Khudobin has posted a 2.22 GAA and .929 SV% in four starts. As well as he has played, Khudobin draws a tough matchup with the Sharks in town.
Khudobin turned aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced in the Stars 2-1 win in Toronto last Thursday. Ben Bishop was back in net two nights later, but the Stars will go back to Khudobin to face his former team tonight. The Stars’ 32-year-old backup has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .923 SV% in his first three starts, but tonight’s matchup is a difficult one.
Khudobin turned aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced in the Stars 2-1 win in Toronto last Thursday. Ben Bishop was back in net two nights later, but look for Khudobin to face his former team tonight. The Stars’ 32-year-old backup has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .923 SV% in his first three starts, but tonight’s matchup is a difficult one.
Donato was viewed as a young, breakout candidate in 2018-19, but has struggled early in the season. The former second-round pick had nine points in his first 12 games with the Bruins after leaving Harvard at the end of last season, but has picked up just one goal through 11 games this year. Donato will go to Providence to continue to develop and will likely return to Boston sometime in the near future.
Khudobin allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Stars loss in New Jersey on October 16th. Khudobin has gone 1-1-0 while allowing three goals in each of his first two starts of the season. Early-on he has an .898 SV%, making him a risky option against a Maple Leafs team that still has plenty of fire-power without Auston Matthews in the lineup.
The Kings have been using transactions to save some money this season, but Wagner’s return to the AHL could also mean that Gabe Vilardi is ready to make his NHL debut.
Anderson made his NHL debut on Saturday because Marcus Johansson was out with an illness, but with Johansson back he will sit tonight in Tampa Bay.
The Canadiens want to get Charles Hudon back in the lineup on Saturday, so Andrew Shaw will take a seat against the Bruins.
Anderson was a third round pick of the Devils (No. 73 overall) in 2016 and turned pro this season after his sophomore season at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Anderson has collected five points (2G / 3A) in eight games with Binghamton this season and will make his NHL debut because Marcus Johansson is out with an illness. Anderson will skate on the fourth line with Kevin Rooney and Brian Boyle.
Brossoit stopped 42 of 45 shots in the Jets win over the Coyotes last Saturday. Through his first two starts as a Winnipeg Jet, Brossoit has turned away an impressive 84 of 88 shots (.955 SV%) two win both games. He should be able to continue his roll tonight in Detroit—the Red Wings are 1-6-2 while averaging the fourth fewest goals (2.22) in the league.
Wagner has not picked up a point in five games with the Kings this season, but will draw back in for Sheldon Rempal on Thursday.
Donato has been disappointing in the early portion of the season, scoring just once in six games. He will be a healthy scratch for the second time in four games and will be replaced by Anders Bjork.
Bjork was a healthy scratch in Edmonton on Thursday, but will replace Ryan Donato in the Bruins lineup in Vancouver. Bjork has scored just one goal and one assist in five games this season.
Brossoit stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Jets win over the Hurricanes last Sunday. Brossoit was exceptional in his Winnipeg debut and will make his second start vs. the Coyotes tonight. Arizona is on the tail-end of a back-to-back and still rank last in the NHL in goals per game (1.17) so far this season.
Bjork has one goal and one assist while averaging 12:09 TOI/GM this season, but will be replaced by Danton Heinen in the lineup on Thursday.
Khudobin allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Stars win over the Ducks on Saturday. With Ben Bishop going last night in Ottawa, Khudobin will get his second start of the season tonight. The Devils have yet to lose this season and are averaging the second most goals per game (4.67) thus far.
Shaw missed Monday’s morning skate and will not be in the lineup when the Canadiens host the Red Wings tonight. Matthew Peca will be Shaw’s replacement on the fourth line and Charles Hudon will take his spot on the second power-play unit.
