McGinn scored two goals with one assist in 12 games with the Hurricanes earlier in the season. While in the AHL, he has collected six goals and one assist in 10 games. He is expected to skate on the top line with Eric Staal and Elias Lindholm in Saturday’s game vs. the Canadiens.
Gibson gave up two goals on 22 shots in the Ducks loss to the Lightning on Wednesday. Gibson has played very well since being called up—he has gone 2-2-1 with a 1.87 GAA and .932 SV% in four starts and one relief start. Tonight he will start against a Sharks team that has been excellent on the road this season. San Jose comes in with a 10-3-0 road record.
Gudas will miss this week’s Friday-Saturday back-to-back and then next Tuesday’s game vs. the Islanders. He is eligible to play next Thursday in St. Louis. Expect Nick Schultz (upper-body) to play tomorrow if he is healthy.
Gibson stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Canucks on Monday. After back-to-back losses, Gibson responded with a stellar performance and should make his fourth consecutive start on Wednesday. He has posted a 1.82 GAA and .936 SV% since being recalled, so he can be trusted tonight vs. the Lightning who are 3-3-1 in their last seven.

Gibson allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Ducks overtime loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. With Frederik Andersen out with the flu, Gibson will make his third straight starting tonight vs. Vancouver. Since being called-up he has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.46 GAA and .918 SV% in two starts and one relief appearance. He draws a good matchup vs. a Vancouver team that has lost six of eight.

Gibson allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss in Arizona on Wednesday. He has posted a .925 SV% in two games since being reacalled and will make his season consecutive start tonight vs. the Blackhawks. It is a tough matchup against a red hot Patrick Kane and company.
Strome struggled with the Islanders at the start of the season, posting just one goal and four assists in 12 games. After being reassigned, he picked up two goals and two assists in eight games with Bridgeport. Strome will be in the Isles’ lineup on Friday.
Frederik Andersen is not expected to dress on Tuesday because of flu-like symptoms, so Gibson has recalled to serve as Anton Khudobin’s backup tonight vs. the Flames. The Ducks have a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so there’s a chance that Gibson could make his season debut tomorrow in Arizona. The 22-year-old has gone 7-4-1 with a 2.63 GAA and .917 SV% in 13 games with San Diego this season.
Vatrano left last Thursday’s game vs. Minnesota and missed Saturday’s game, but will be a game-time decision on Monday in Toronto. Vatrano has one goal and 19 shots in six games this season.
Vatrano missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he was back on the ice for the morning skate and could be back in the lineup tonight in Toronto.
Stalock allowed on goal on 21 shots in the Sharks loss to the Islanders on November 10th. Stalock has just one win in five appearances this season. He comes into play on Sunday with a 2.85 GAA and .894 SV% this season. He will take on a Blue Jackets team that has won four of their last five contests.
Vatrano left Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. The rookie winger has had one goal and 19 shots in six games, but is listed as day-to-day and is doubtful to play on Saturday. Expect the Bruins to recall a forward on Saturday morning.
McGinn had two goals, one assist and a minus-11 rating in 12 games with the Hurricanes. McGinn played just 7:41 last night, so he will be sent to Charlotte to play more regular minutes.
Strome has no recorded a point in five games and has been a healthy scratch in two of the last seven games. Strome has struggled to just five points (1G / 4A) in 12 games this season and the Islanders have decided to send him back to the AHL to help him get his game back on track. The Islanders have also been impressed with Steve Bernier, which allowed them to demote Strome.
Vatrano, 21, leads the AHL with 10 goals in 10 games, so he has definitely earned the call-up and should replace Alex Khokhlachev in the Bruins’ top six. Saturday will be his season debut.
Stalock stopped the two shots he faced after replacing Martin Jones in Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jackets. Stalock has lost each of his first two starts while allowing a combined nine goals on 57 shots (.842 SV%). The Sharks, who got off to a hot start, are now struggling and Stalock is a risky start against a Panthers team who has some offence to offer.
