Georgiev allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Rangers' 2-1 loss in Vancouver on January 4th. It was a better outing for Georgiev, who allowed a combined 16 goals in his previous three outings. He has struggled at Madison Square Garden (2-5-1 | 3.41 GAA | .893 SV%) this season but has been great against the Islanders in his young career, going 2-1-0 with a 0.87 GAA, .967 SV% and one shutout in three starts.

Francouz stopped 32 of 33 shots in Colorado's 1-0 loss to the Islanders on Monday.

Tonight he faces a Penguins team that has gone 6-1-0 while averaging 3.86 goals per game in their last seven road games.

Kamenev played Saturday in New Jersey, collecting an assist in 9:37 TOI but will be a healthy scratch for the 12th time in 13 games on Monday. Valeri Nichushkin will return from illness to replace Kamenev.

Kiviranta was called up from the AHL on Thursday and will replace Corey Perry in the lineup vs. the Red Wings. Perry is facing a suspension for his hit on Ryan Ellis in the Winter Classic, opening the door for Kiviranta's debut on the Stars fourth line.

Kiviranta is in his first year in North America and has tallied 18 points (9G / 9A) in 33 games with Texas this season. Kiviranta's call-up is likely a reaction to the Corey Perry hearing. Perry elbowed Ryan Ellis in the head during the Winter Classic and will likely be suspended for Friday's game, opening the door for Kiviranta to make his NHL debut.

Georgiev surrendered four goals on 48 shots in the Rangers 5-4 overtime win in Toronto on Saturday.

Georgiev allowed six goals on 40 shots in the Rangers 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on December 20th.

Makar missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury that he suffered on December 7th. Makar will skate with Samuel Girard at even-strength and will be back on the top power-play unit in his return. He has a ridiculous eight goals and 20 assists (28 points) in 29 games this season.

Francouz allowed three goals on 32 shots in Colorado's win in Vegas on Monday. The Avalanche have committed to Philipp Grubauer as their No.1 netminder but will continue to ride Francouz while he is hot. Francouz has won four in a row while posting a 1.50 GAA and .956 SV%. On the season, Francouz is 5-1-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .922 SV% on home-ice and is a solid option with the Wild in town--they've lost three of their last four road games.

This is the second time in less than a year that de Haan has underwent major surgery on his right shoulder, which is obviously troubling for the Blackhawks who have him under contract through the 2021-22 season. With de Haan out for the year and being moved to LTIR, the Blackhawks gain $4.55M in salary cap relief but it will be difficult for them to replace de Haan through their minor league system or through a trade.

Wagner has no points in his last seven games and will be replaced by Joakim Nordstrom vs. the Capitals.

Georgiev allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Rangers loss to the Predators on Monday. Georgiev has won five of his last seven starts while posting a 2.16 GAA, .936 SV% and two shutouts.

Francouz stopped 37 of 38 shots in Colorado's win over the Devils last Friday.

The first of those six games came in Chicago, where he stopped 34 of 36 shots in a 5-2 victory--he'll look to replicate that tonight.

Georgiev surrendered three goals on just 18 shots but walked away with the win last Thursday in San Jose. Henrik Lundqvist started Saturday's shootout loss in Anaheim, so Georgiev will draw Monday's home game. Georgiev has won five of his last six outings while posting a 2.01 GAA and .943 SV%--12th and sixth-best in the NHL over that stretch.
