Trouba (upper-body) will be out until February.

Trouba, who missed practice on Monday was listed as “probable” but will now apparently miss at least the next month and a half. The Jets blue line has been decimated, they head into Tuesday’s game without Trouba, Zach Bogosian and Tobias Enstrom, their three biggest minute eaters.

Trouba (undisclosed) is probable for Tuesday’s game vs. Buffalo.

Trouba missed practice on Monday, but is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow. The Jets already have a ton of holes on the blue line because of injuries, so missing Trouba would be a huge loss. He has two goals and six assists in his last nine games.

Mrazek will face the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Mrazek stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Red Wings’ 3-1 win over the Hurricanes last Sunday. He has won all three of his starts with Detroit while posting a 2.59 GAA and .912 SV%. Tonight the Red Wings will call upon him to get a big victory on the road in Toronto. Both Detroit and Toronto are high scoring offences, but seem to ratchet up the D when they play each other.

Kreider (neck) will be back in the lineup on Saturday.

Kreider missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Penguins, but will be back in the lineup tomorrow vs. Detroit. However, J.T Miller played well on the second line on Tuesday, so Kreider will return on the fourth line, which limits his fantasy value until he gets back into the top-6.

Stalock is the Sharks confirmed starter.

Stalock stopped 25 of 27 shots in the Sharks win over the Oilers on Tuesday. He was not the scheduled starter, but Antti Niemi is dealing with an undisclosed injury. He will make his third straight start, having won one of two with a 2.02 GAA and .922 SV%.

Kreider (neck) is doubtful for Monday’s game vs. Pittsburgh.

Kreider is experiencing neck spasms that could keep him out of tonight’s game vs. the Penguins. He reportedly took a tough spill in Sunday’s practice after a collision with a teammate. He likely won’t play tonight, which means Tanner Glass will get back into the lineup.

Stalock bak in goal for the Sharks.

Stalock has dressed recently, but has not played a game since November 8th vs. the Stars. Before getting injured, Stalock was 2-2-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .925 SV%. He has been productive this season and should continue that tonight with a juicy matchup vs. the Oilers. He is available in 80% of Yahoo leagues and makes for a great spot-start tonight.

Mrazek is the Red Wings confirmed starter.

Mrazek gave up four goals on 25 shots in the Red Wings come from behind win over the Devils on November 28th. It has not been pretty, but Mrazek has won both of his starts this season, however he has posted a 3.36 GAA and .875 SV% in the process. If you need Sunday goalie numbers, this matchup sets up nicely for him.

Stalock (knee) could be back on Thursday.

On Tuesday Stalock will serve as Antti Niemi’s backup for the second straight game. “He still needs a little more practice work,” coach Todd McLellan said. “He’s capable of going in to back up, but we want him to have a chance to be successful. McLellan is holding out hope that Stalock will be completely ready to go by Thursday, but if not Thursday certainly by the weekend.

Kreider (personal) will be back in the Rangers lineup on Monday.

Kreider missed Saturday’s game due to the death of his grandfather but will play tonight vs. the Lightning. Kreider will skate with Derek Stepan and Martin St. Louis on the Rangers’ second line. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 22 games this season. Anthony Duclair will likely take a seat with Kreider back in.

Mrazek gets the start in goal vs. the Devils.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings 4-2 win over the Jets last Thursday. Jimmy Howard started the last three, but Mrazek will get back in tonight in New Jersey which leaves Howie for Sunday vs. Vancouver. He makes for a nice spot-start against the Devils who’s offence ranks 25th in the NHL.

Petr Mrazek
Mrazek will start his first game of the season on Thursday.

Mrazek will make his season debut tonight after posting a 3-2-0 record with a 3.25 GAA and .876 SV% in six games with Grand Rapids. He is a career 3-5-0 with a 1.80 GAA and .926 SV% in the NHL. He is a young up-and-coming goaltender who had a great preseason, who could make for a nice spot-start tonight vs. the Jets.
