Andersen allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Sabres on Tuesday. Andersen has won four of his last five starts (4-1-0) while posting a 2.23 GAA and .930 SV%. Tonight he faces a Rangers team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1) while scoring 3.00 goals per game.

Hall was acquired from the Devils on Monday and joined the team in San Jose this morning and will make his debut against the Sharks. The Coyotes did not run lines this morning, so there is no indication who Hall will skate with.

Andersen allowed one goal on 37 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Edmonton on Saturday. Andersen has won three of their last four starts while posting a 2.04 GAA and .938 SV%. Tonight he will face the Sabres for the second time this season--he stopped 29 of 30 shots in a 2-1 OT win on November 30th.

Chatfield was recently sent back to the Canucks but swaps spots with Guillaume Brisebois again. Chatfield has never appeared in an NHL game in his career and has just one assist in 20 AHL games this season.

Hall is a pending unrestricted free agent, so this could be a pure rental but the Coyotes are expected to pursue an extension. Hall will look to improve his numbers in Arizona to maximize his next deal and he could benefit from playing on a line with Phil Kessel. Hall's numbers so far are still decent, scoring six goals one 109 shots (5.5 SH%) with 19 assists (25 points) in 30 games.

Lemieux missed the Rangers game in San Jose on Thursday but is set to play in Anaheim this afternoon. Lemieux, who has been up and down the Rangers lineup all season, will play on the fourth line today. He has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 29 games.

Kotkaniemi will not play Saturday vs. the Red Wings but will travel to Western Canada with the team next week, suggesting he could play before the Christmas break. The Habs have gone 4-2-0 without Kotkaniemi.

Hall was on the ice for warmups last night but was a late-scratch in Colorado. Hall will sit out for a second straight game with New Jersey nearing a deal to trade the pending UFA. It looks like Hall has played his final game as a New Jersey Devil.

Chatfield sat-out of every game during his call-up, so he heads back to Utica to get some games in with Guillaume Brisebois coming up from Utica. Chatfield has one assist in 19 AHL games this season.

Andersen allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Maple Leafs 4-2 loss to the Flames on Thursday. He had a good night going before everything fell apart in the third period and snapping his brief two-game winning streak. On the season, Andersen is 8-4-0 with a 2.43 GAA, .922 SV% and one shutout on the road this year and gets set to face an Oilers team that has lost three in a row and six of their last eight.


Lemieux was dinged up Tuesday in Los Angeles and was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate. The Rangers have officially listed him as a game-time decision in San Jose. Michael Haley is expected to replace Lemieux if he can't play.

Andersen made 38 saves on 39 shots in the Maple Leafs' win in Vancouver on Tuesday. It was a brilliant outing for Andersen, who has won six of his last eight while posting a 1.88 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he'll take on a Flames team that is riding a six-game winning streak while scoring 4.00 goals per game.

Kotkaniemi has missed the last two games with a concussion and there's no timetable for his return. His move to IR opens up a roster spot to call-up Ryan Poehling from Laval for Wednesday's game vs. the Senators.

Andersen made 26 saves on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs win in St. Louis on Saturday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Andersen, who is 5-2-0 with a 2.01 GAA, .933 SV% and one shutout since the coaching change. Tonight he faces a Canucks team that is 7-3-3 while scoring 4.15 goals per game in 13 home games this season.

Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs' loss to the Avalanche on Wednesday. After starting 4-0 under Sheldon Keefe, Andersen has lost two straight while allowing seven goals on 57 shots (.877 SV%). Tonight he faces the Blues for the second time this season--he allowed three goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 loss in the first meeting (Oct.7).

Kotkaniemi suffered a concussion in an awkward collision with Nikita Zadorov on Thursday and will not play Thursday vs. the Rangers. With Kotkaniemi out, Charles Hudon is expected to draw back into the Canadiens lineup.

Robinson played just 6:50 TOI in Tuesday's loss to the Coyotes and will be replaced by Emil Bemstrom in the lineup on Thursday.

Andersen allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs' 6-1 loss in Philadelphia last night. Despite head coach Sheldon Keefe saying Michael Hutchinson would start Wednesday earlier in the week, it looks as if Andersen will be between the pipes again. Normally he's a top-end option but starting two nights in a row and facing a Colorado team that is getting healthy and has won three straight while scoring 16 goals (5.33 goals per game) makes him a low-end option tonight.
