Lukas Dostal
Petr Mrazek will start Friday vs. Vegas.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 43 shots (.930 SV%) for his third straight loss in his previous start vs. Boston but will be rewarded with the start Friday vs. Vegas. The 31-year-old goaltender has played well despite most of his starts turning into losing efforts as he has a 1-3-0 record, .925 SV% and 3.03 GAA. He draws the near-impossible task of facing the undefeated Vegas Golden Knights, who have started 2023-24 with a 7-0-0 record and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.86).

Ville Husso will start Saturday in Boston.

Husso allowed five goals on 38 shots in the Red Wings' overtime loss to the Kraken on Tuesday. Husso hasn't been great to start the season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .893 SV% in his first five games. Tonight he'll face a Bruins team that is 14th in xGF/60 (3.20) and GF/60 (3.13).

Carlsson is back in the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

Carlsson returns to the Ducks lineup on Thursday after sitting out the last two games as the team attempts to ease his workload early in the season. The has a goal, six SOG, two PIMs, and a +2 plus/minus in two games thus far in 2023-24 while playing over 20 minutes a night.

Leo Carlsson
Dostal will start in Columbus on Tuesday.

Dostal will get the nod on Tuesday after impressing in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Coyotes. Dostal stopped 25 of the 27 shots he faced in the losing effort, giving himself an impressive .919 SV% and 2.55 GAA in two starts so far this season. The Ducks will need another strong performance from Dostal tonight if they're going to pick up a road victory over a Blue Jackets team that comes in having won two straight.

Lukas Dostal
Husso will start against the Kraken on Tuesday.

The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game. Husso hasn't been spectacular, recording a 3.04 GAA and .901 SV% in four games (3-1-0), but has been much better in his last two contests with a 2.50 GAA and .929 SV%. He will look to continue his hot streak tonight as the Red Wings host a Seattle Kraken team that ranks third-worst in the league offensively, averaging only 1.83 goals scored per game.

Ville Husso
Petr Mrazek will start Tuesday vs. Boston.

Mrazek will be the starter for the Blackhawks on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Mrazek hasn't finished a season with a save percentage above .894 in two campaigns, but after three games (1-2-0) has a .924 SV% and has played well in each of them. That said, Mrazek and the Blackhawks will have their work cut out for them as they enter their matchup as +203 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has yet to lose (5-0-0).

Petr Mrazek
Leo Carlsson will not play Tuesday vs. Columbus as he eases his way back into the Ducks' lineup.

Carlsson is expected to occasionally sit out as he acclimates to the NHL and will not be in the Ducks' lineup Tuesday as they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. It is a bit of a letdown as fans will have to wait to see the 2023 second-overall pick take on Adam Fentilli (2023 third-overall pick). Carlsson has a goal, six SOG, two PIMs, and a +2 plus/minus in two games thus far in 2023-24 while averaging an impressive 20:16 TOI.

Petr Mrazek is in the starters' crease at Tuesday's morning skate.

Mrazek appears to be the starter for the Blackhawks on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Mrazek hasn't finished a season with a save percentage above .894 in two seasons, but after three games (1-2-0) has a .924 SV% and has played well in each of them. That said, Mrazek and the Blackhawks will have their work cut out for them as they enter their matchup as +203 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has yet to lose (5-0-0).

Ville Husso was in the starters' crease at Tuesday's morning skate.

Husso is the likely starter for the red-hot Red Wings on Tuesday. The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game. Husso hasn't been spectacular, recording a 3.04 GAA and .901 SV% in four games (3-1-0), but has been much better in his last two contests with a 2.50 GAA and .929 SV%. He will look to continue his hot streak tonight as the Red Wings host a Seattle Kraken team that ranks third-worst in the league offensively, averaging only 1.83 goals scored per game.

Carlsson will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Bruins.

The Ducks said the move is not performance based as they are aiming to ease the 18-year-old's workload early in the season. The second overall pick in last summer's NHL Entry Draft has impressed in his two games so far this season. He's scored one goal on six shots on goal and is playing over 20 minutes a night, so it perhaps shouldn't be a surprise that Anaheim is expressing caution by sitting their budding superstar on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Fantasy managers can expect Carlsson to return the lineup for Tuesday's game in Columbus.

Leo Carlsson
Lukas Dostal will start Saturday's matinee vs. Arizona.

Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) for a win in his only start of the season vs. Carolina and will take the crease Saturday in a matinee vs. Arizona. The 23-year-old struggled in his second season last year, going 4-10-3 with a .901 SV% and a 3.02 GAA. He faces the Arizona Coyotes, who are .500 through four games so far in 2023-24, and are 24th in the NHL in goals for per game (2.5).

Jansen Harkins has cleared waivers and been assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Harkins was originally acquired off waivers from Winnipeg by Pittsburgh on October 1st but has cleared waivers again and been assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL). The 26-year-old winger failed to pick up a point in four games so far in 2023-24 but had four SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/miuns.

Jansen Harkins
Ville Husso will start Saturday vs. Ottawa.

Husso will get his second consecutive start and look for his third consecutive win on Saturday as the Red Wings face off against the Ottawa Senators. Husso has been far from remarkable this season, posting a 3.37 GAA and .881 SV%, but has still managed a winning record through three starts (2-1-0) thanks in part to the Red Wings' early-season offensive prowess (4.75 GF/GP). Husso and the Red Wings will be put to the test against the Senators as they have been equally difficult to contain offensive, also scoring an average of 4.75 goals per game.

Ville Husso
Tristan Luneau is expected to make his NHL debut Thursday vs. Dallas.

Luneau was Anaheim's 2022 second-round pick (53rd overall) and is set to make his NHL debut Thursday vs. Dallas as he replaces Jamie Drysdale in the Ducks' lineup. The 19-year-old defensemen was not originally returned to Gatineau (QMJHL) as expected to start this season, where he had 20 goals, 63 assists, 31 PIMs and a +49 plus/minus through 65 games in 2022-23.

Tristan Luneau
Petr Mrazek will start Thursday vs. Colorado.

Mrazek is off to a great start for the Blackhawks, who have been better than expected defensively to start the season, allowing an average of only 2.25 goals per game in their first four contests (2-2-0). The Blackhawks have opted to split starts between their two netminders to start the season, but in Mrazek's two games (1-1-0), he has a 2.54 GAA and .935 SV%. Mrazek will be in for arguably his most difficult matchup as the Blackhawks are +303 road underdogs against the Colorado Avalanche. Last season, Mrazek was 1-1-0 against the Avalanche with a 3.50 GAA and .897 SV% and, despite his strong start to the season, does not have a favourable matchup Thursday evening.
