Khudobin gets the nod Tuesday vs. the Oilers.

Khudobin gave up three goals on 29 shots in the Stars loss in St. Louis on Saturday. With Ben Bishop day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Khudobin will make his 25th start of the season tonight. He has been excellent in his last seven starts, going 5-0-2 with a 2.07 GAA and .934 SV%. He draws a tough matchup tonight vs. an Oilers team that is getting healthy and is coming off of an 8-goal performance last night in Nashville.

Shaw (concussion) will miss the remainder of the 2020 season.

Shaw has been out since November 30th and will miss the final 18 games of the season with lingering concussion issues. Missing such a lengthy period of time with a concussion is obviously not a good sign and hopefully, Shaw will be ready to return to the NHL at the start of the 2021 campaign.

Khudobin will start Tuesday in Carolina.

Khudobin stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Stars win over the Blackhawks on Sunday. Khudobin has yet to lose in regulation in February, going 4-0-1 with a 2.11 GAA and .931 SV% in six games (five starts). One of those games came against the Hurricanes, who he'll face again tonight--he stopped 24 of 25 shots in a 4-1 win that night.

Brossoit will start Tuesday in Washington.

Brossoit stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Jets’ win in Ottawa last Thursday. Brossoit has been terrific in his last two starts, going 2-0-0 while stopping 54 of the 57 shots (.947 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Capitals team that has gone 2-4-1 while averaging 3.43 goals for and 4.29 goals against in their last seven home games.

The Oilers have acquired Andreas Athanasiou and Ryan Kuffner from the Red Wings for Sam Gagner, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick.

Athanasiou has had a disappointing 2019-20 season after his 30-goal breakout campaign a year ago. The 25-year-old has just ten goals and 24 assists in 46 games this season, but don’t be surprised if the change of scenery reignites his production. After spending most of the season on the wing of Valtteri Filppula, Athanasiou will now almost certainly get a shot at playing alongside Connor McDavid. He is set to become a restricted free agent on July 1st.

Khudobin will start Sunday vs. the Blackhawks.

Khudobin allowed one goal on 10 shots after replacing Ben Bishop in the Stars loss to the Blues on Friday. Khudobin has played very well in February, going 3-0-1 with a 2.35 GAA and .923 SV% in five appearances (four starts). Today he'll look to stay hot vs. the Blackhawks, who he is 1-1-0 with a 1.45 GAA and .961 SV% against this season.
