Pilut is a 22-year-old Swedish defenseman who has picked up 22 points (3G / 19A) in 16 games with Rochester (AHL) before being recalled to the NHL. Pilut is replacing Jake McCabe tonight and could make for an intriguing punt play in daily fantasy.
Bishop missed five games with a lower-body injury but is set to return to the crease on Saturday. Bishop has been solid this year, posting a 2.33 GAA, .923 SV% and two shutouts in 15 games.
Reimer allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Panthers loss to the Ducks on Wednesday. Reimer will make his fourth straight start with Roberto Luongo still on the sidelines. Reimer is 1-1-1 with a 3.63 GAA and .888 SV% in his previous three outings.
Bishop has missed the last five games but head coach Jim Montgomery said that “Ben looks like he is a player for Saturday.” Bishop has been impressive this season, posting a 2.33 GAA, .923 SV% and two shutouts in 15 games.
Reimer allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Panthers win over the Devils on Monday. It’s been a tough season for Reimer, who is 2-3-1 with a 3.36 GAA and .902 SV% on home-ice. As poor as he has played, Reimer has a solid matchup against the Ducks this evening. The Ducks have won three of their last four but rank second last in the NHL in scoring (2.19 GF/pg).
Pilut is a 22-year-old undrafted free agent, who came over from Sweden this offseason. Pilut has dominated the AHL so far, tying for first among defensemen and third in the AHL with 22 points (3G / 19A) in just 16 games. Pilut is not expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Bishop has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but his return to the ice on Monday is a good sign that Bishop could be back this week. The Stars have a back-to-back on Tuesday/Wednesday, so a return on Wednesday would be ideal, so Anton Khudobin doesn’t have to start two nights in a row.
Reimer surrendered five goals on 41 shots in the Panthers loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday. With Roberto Luongo sidelined again, Reimer is expected to start the vast majority of games until he’s back. The 30-year-old is 2-2-1 with a 3.45 GAA and .907 SV% in November. Despite below average play, tonight he sees a Devils team on the tail-end of a back-to-back.

Reimer allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Panthers 5-1 win over the Senators last Sunday. Roberto Luongo has started the last three games, but Reimer will face the Senators again tonight. Ottawa comes in having won three of their last four games, but Reimer remains a solid spot-start or daily option.
The Bruins are extremely banged up on the back-end, so 2013 fifth round pick Connor Clifton will play tonight in Dallas. Clifton has just four assists in 14 AHL games this season and 17 points (4G / 14A) in 68 career games with Providence.
Bishop allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Stars loss to the Predators last Saturday. Bishop and Anton Khudobin have been splitting time and tonight is Bishop’s turn between the pipes. The 31-year-old is 4-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA, .918 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season.
