Georgiev starts Thursday in Vancouver.

Georgiev allowed three goals on 28 shots (.893 SV%) for his fourth straight loss as he was beaten by Vegas in his previous start. The 26-year-old has been faltering as of late, but still holds a strong 15-6-3 record, with a .915 SV% and 2.68 GAA. He will hope for better fortunes against the Vancouver Canucks, who have lost their last three games after a 6-2 loss to the New York Islanders last game.

Carson Meyer will draw back into the Blue Jackets' lineup Thursday vs. Washington.

Meyer has yet to pick up a point across nine games with the Blue Jackets' but will draw back into the lineup as Eric Robinson misses Thursday's game due to injury (upper body). Mayer will hope to duplicate some of the success he was having in Cleveland (AHL) before he was recalled, as he had six goals and 18 points across 15 games.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start Tuesday vs. Washington.

Luukkonen stopped 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) for his fourth straight win as he picked up a surprising victory over Boston in his last start. The 23-year-old has taken over Buffalo's starting crease due to his 7-3-1 record, 3.35 GAA and .896 SV%. He will take on the Washington Capitals, who have won six of their last seven games after a 9-2 thumping of Montreal in their previous game.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start Thursday vs. Detroit.

Luukkonen stopped 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) for his fourth win in five starts as he was incredible in beating the Vegas Golden Knights in his last time between the pipes. The 23-year-old has been much better as of late for the Sabres and holds a 5-3-1 record, 3.44 GAA and .891 SV% through nine appearances. He faces the Detroit Red Wings who are on the back end of a back-to-back after a massive 5-4 comeback victory over Pittsburgh yesterday.

Alexandar Georgiev will start Friday vs. Nashville.

Georgiev stopped 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) as he picked up his third straight victory with a 2-1 win over Montreal in his last start. The 26-year-old has settled in incredibly in his first year as a starter with the Avalanche, with his 14-6-2 record, 2.39 GAA and .924 SV%. He takes on the Nashville Predators, who have won their last two games but have struggled to score as they are 29th in the NHL in goals per game (2.52).

Georgiev will start Wednesday vs. the Canadiens.

Georgiev was perfect, stopping 26 of 26 shots in a shutout victory over the New York Islanders in his previous start. The 26-year-old has solidified himself as one of the league's top netminders this season, due to his 13-6-2 record, .923 SV% and 2.46 GAA. He draws the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday, who are 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.75) and 30th in shots (28.7).

Jason Zucker will play Tuesday after being a game-time decision (undisclosed).

Zucker was having a great bounce season with six goals, 20 points, 67 SOG and a +6 plus/minus through 27 games but has been out since Dec. 12th due to an undisclosed injury. It marked the fifth straight season where Zucker was forced to miss a chunk of games due to injury, so a return is great news for the Penguins.
