The Senators have recalled Erik Brannstrom from Belleville (AHL).

Brannstrom has played every well since going to Belleville, collecting four points (1G / 3A) in four games. With Dylan DeMelo out for at least a few weeks, the Senators really didn't have a choice but to recall Brannstrom at this time. He has just two assists in 23 NHL games this season.

Reimer led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

Reimer allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Hurricanes win in Edmonton on Tuesday. Reimer has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.01 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout. He has gone 6-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .924 SV% on the road this year but the Flames come in riding a seven-game winning streak, so Reimer is a risky option.

Bishop will start Friday vs. the Golden Knights.

Bishop stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Stars' shutout win over the Devils on Tuesday. Bishop has not allowed more than two goals in a game in six straight starts and currently sits third in the NHL in GAA (2.03) and SV% (.934). Bishop is outstanding and tonight the Stars host a Vegas team that has lost three of their last four and played last night in St. Louis.

Dahlin (concussion) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Dahlin has missed the last eight games with a concussion that he suffered on November 25th but could play Thursday vs. the Predators. Dahlin skated on the top-pair and top power-play unit in Wednesday's practice but head coach Ralph Kruger would not commit to him playing tonight.

Reimer is the confirmed starter in Edmonton.

Reimer gave up two goals on 34 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Boston last Tuesday. Petr Mrazek has started the last two games but it looks as if Reimer will start Tuesday in Edmonton. Reimer is 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout in his last four starts and gets set to face an Oilers team that has lost four of their last five home games.

Bishop led the Stars onto the ice for warmups.

Bishop stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Stars' win over the Islanders on Saturday. Bishop has played great as of late, winning five of his last seven and allowing more than two goals just once. Over that stretch, he has posted a 1.84 GAA and .943 SV%, which leaves him third in the NHL in GAA (2.13) and fourth in SV% (.932) on the year. He's a great option against a Devils team that has started 0-2-1 under new head coach Alain Nasreddine.

Bishop will start Saturday vs. the Islanders.

Bishop allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Stars win over the Jets on Thursday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Bishop, who has gone 4-1-1 with a 1.98 GAA and .938 SV% in his last six starts. Tonight he faces an Islanders team that is struggling offensively. They've gone 3-3-1 but have scored just 1.86 goals per game in their last seven games.

Reimer will start Tuesday in Boston.

Reimer allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Hurricanes win in Tampa Bay on Saturday night. All of a sudden, Reimer has won three consecutive games while stopping 87 of the 92 shots (.946 SV%) that he has faced. I don't care how good he's been as of late, you don't start Reimer in Boston. They have not lost in regulation in that building this season, so hard pass.

Bishop led the Stars onto the ice for warmups.

Bishop allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Stars' loss to the Blues on Friday night. Bishop has won three of his lat four starts while stopping an impressive 118 of the 126 shots (.937 SV%) that he faced. Tonight he will face the Wild for the second time this season--he left the first game after allowing two goals on 10 shots in what ended up being a 6-3 win for Dallas.

Reimer will start Saturday in Tampa Bay.

Reimer stopped all 19 shots that he faced in the Hurricanes shutout win in Detroit last Sunday. Reimer has won two in a row while stopping 51 of the 54 (.944 SV%) shots the he's faced. Tonight he gets a Lightning team that is 4-2-0 while averaging a ridiculous 5.17 goals per game in their last six home games.
