Mrazek was pulled after he allowed four goals on 13 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Anaheim last Friday. It was a brutal outing for the Canes’ netminder but he comes back well-rested tonight in Columbus. He has won four of his first five starts while posting a 2.64 GAA and .893 SV% and tonight he faces a Columbus team that ranks 25th in the NHL in scoring (2.44 GF/gm).
Stalock stopped all 16 shots that he faced after replacing Devan Dubnyk (upper-body) to complete the team shutout over the Oilers on Tuesday. Dubnyk did not travel to Nashville, so Stalock will start against a Predators team that continues to lead the NHL in goal-scoring (4.22 GF/gm). Dating back to the start of last season, Stalock has gone 3-6-0 with a .905 SV% on the road.
Stalock stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win in Ottawa on Monday. Devan Dubnyk continues to struggle, so Stalock will start for the second time in three games. He has allowed just one goal on 37 shots (.973 SV%) so far this season. His opponent’s offence has been impressive so far, ranking third in shots/gm (35.3) and 11th in goals/gm (3.50).
Mrazek gave up two goals on 19 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Islanders last Friday. Mrazek has opened the 2019-20 season at 3-0-0 while posting a 2.57 GAA and .882 SV%. He was 11-9-2 with a 2.43 GAA and .914 SV% on the road last year. The Kings offence has surprised this season, averaging 4.00 goals per game through five games.

Stalock allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Devan Dubnyk in the Wild’s loss to the Penguins on Saturday. With Devan Dubnyk struggling to start the season, Stalock will make his first start today in Ottawa. He was 2-5-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .898 SV% on the road last year.
Mrazek stopped 10 of the 13 shots he faced in the Hurricanes 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning last Sunday. Carolina absolutely owned the puck in this game and it led to a slow night for Mrazek, who is now 2-0 despite an .878 SV% so far this season. He has been great in Carolina, going 14-5-1 with a .910 SV% in his last 20 starts at PNC Arena. He also has an inviting matchup vs. the Islanders who are averaging just 2.33 goals per game so far.

Mrazek split starts with Curtis McElhinney last year, going 23-14-3 with a 2.39 GAA and .914 SV% in 40 games. This year he should see a larger share of the games with James Reimer as his backup, but certainly won’t be among the league leaders. With a dominant 5v5 team in front of him, Mrazek will be a solid option on most nights. He was 12-5-1 with a 2.33 GAA, .914 SV% and two shutouts on home-ice last year.

Poehling took a big hit from Dryden Hunt during last Wednesday’s preseason game and is out indefinitely with a concussion. This is a tough break for Poehling, who was likely to open the season on the Canadiens roster. However, it does open up the possibility for Montreal to take a look at Ryan Suzuki early in the season.
Husso appeared in 27 games with San Antonio (AHL) last season, going 6-18-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .871 SV%. With Jordan Binnington and Jake Allen clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, Husso will remain in the AHL to start the 2020 campaign.
The Rangers acquired the RFA defenseman from the Jets for Neal Pionk and a 2019 first-round pick on June 18th and signed him through the 2025-26 season. Trouba is coming off of the best year of his career, posting 50 points (8G / 42A) in 82 games with Winnipeg. Trouba immediately becomes the Rangers best defenseman and should see more minutes than he ever saw with the Jets.
Trouba is a restricted free agent on July 1st but gives the Rangers a bonafide first-pairing defenseman, something they played the entire 2018-19 season without. After missing a combined 49 games in 2017 and 2018, Trouba appeared in all 82 games last year and set a new career-high with 50 points (8G / 42A). Trouba will log massive minutes for the Rangers next season and helps accelerate their rebuild, which was also aided by landing the No.2 overall pick in this year’s draft.
Gudas is heading into the final year of his four-year deal that carries a $3.35 million cap-hit, versus Niskanen’s two remaining years at $5.75 million. Gudas is coming off of one of his best offensive seasons, scoring four goals with 16 assists (20 points) in 77 games. Gudas was second on the Flyers in hits (255) and tied for third in blocked shots (133). He will help bolster the Capitals penalty-kill, where he played 2:37 per game last year—second among Flyers skaters.
Dostal, 18, was a third-round pick (No.85 overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft and finished his season with Ilves Tampere in the Finnish Elite League at 4-4-2 with a 1.80 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 games.
