Bernier gave up two goals on 11 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings blowout loss to Nashville on Monday. In his last five starts and two relief appearances, Bernier has gone 0-4-1 with a 3.85 GAA and .879 SV%. The Red Wings are struggling mightily, so neither of their goalies should be rostered and Bernier especially isn't an option against a Bruins team that has the highest Points% (.800 -- 11-2-2) in the NHL.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Canucks loss to the Blues on Tuesday. Markstrom has lost three of his last four starts while posting a 2.87 GAA and .890 SV% but draws a quality matchup vs. the Blackhawks on Thursday. Chicago is 4-7-3 and are averaging the third-fewest goals per game (2.36) in the NHL this season.

Haula did not travel to Philadelphia and will be replaced by Haydn Fleury, who will dress as a seventh defenseman. Haula will be replaced by Lucas Wallmark on the third line and is listed as day-to-day.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Canucks loss in Anaheim last Friday. Thatcher Demko got the nod on Saturday but Markstrom will make his third start in four games on Tuesday. He's actually been better on the road, but has yet to lose in regulation in Vancouver, going 2-0-1 with a 2.84 GAA and .910 SV% so far. He also went 2-0 against the Blues a season ago.

Bratt worked out off ice on Monday and will not travel to Winnipeg for Tuesday's game. It is the start of a four-game western Canadian road-trip for the Devils, so they haven't ruled out the possibility of Brett joining them later in the trip. Nikita Gusev will replace him on Tuesday.

Dumoulin missed Sunday's practice to be with his wife as they are expecting the birth of their first baby, but he is expected to play on Monday. Dumoulin has one goal, three assists and a plus-11 rating in 10 games this season.

Allen allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Blues loss to the Canadiens on October 19th. Allen missed a start last weekend due to an illness but will make his third start of the season on Saturday evening. He has allowed four goals in each of his starts while posting a .849 SV%, but a matchup with the Wild keeps him in the spot-start conversation on Saturday.

Bernier allowed one goal on 12 shots in the Red Wings loss in Carolina last night. With Jimmy Howard stumbling, Bernier will go tonight in Florida and look to snap a four-game personal losing streak. The Panthers currently rank fifth in the league in goal scoring (3.54 GF/gm) so look elsewhere for goalie options tonight.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Canucks win in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Markstrom has won five of his last six starts (5-0-1) while posting a 2.60 GAA and .919 SV%. He struggled to 1-3-0 vs. the Ducks last year but the Canucks are firing on all cylinders offensively right now, so Markstrom has a good chance at chalking up his sixth win.

Markstrom surrendered five goals on 29 shots in the Canucks loss to the Capitals last Friday. Thatcher Demko started Monday, so it's not surprising to see them coming back to Markstrom in Los Angeles. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .927 SV% in four road starts this season and faces a Kings team that has lost three in a row while being outscored 15-to-4.

Dumoulin is a game-time decision but being activated is a clear sign that he will be back in the Penguins lineup on Tuesday night. Dumoulin plays big minutes (21:19 ATOI) but has just three assists and 12 shots on goal in eight games this season.

The Red Wings coaching staff is reportedly unhappy with how Cholowski has been playing lately, so he'll come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Joe Hicketts was recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) and will replace Cholowski against the Oilers.

Dumoulin has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue but was a full participant in Monday’s practice. He is officially listed as a game-time decision for tomorrow’s game and would likely replace Jusso Riikola if he plays.
