Radim Simek has cleared waivers and been assigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Simek failed to appear in any of the Sharks' first four games and has been assigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) after clearing waivers Friday. The 31-year-old heads to the AHL after posting a goal, two assists, 29 PIMs, and a -13 plus/minus in 44 games with the San Jose Sharks in 2022-23.

Campbell will start in Philadelphia on Thursday.

After a forgettable season-opening performance that saw him allow four goals on 16 shots, Campbell led the Oilers to their first victory on Wednesday, saving 42 of 43 shots against the Nashville Predators and will be rewarded with another start on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Until he can consistently string together quality performance, Campbell remains difficult to rely on from a fantasy-hockey perspective, even against the low-scoring Flyers (2.67 GF/GP). The Oilers, -199 road favourites, will look to improve to a .500 record with a victory tonight.

Petr Mrazek will start Thursday vs. Colorado.

Mrazek is off to a great start for the Blackhawks, who have been better than expected defensively to start the season, allowing an average of only 2.25 goals per game in their first four contests (2-2-0). The Blackhawks have opted to split starts between their two netminders to start the season, but in Mrazek's two games (1-1-0), he has a 2.54 GAA and .935 SV%. Mrazek will be in for arguably his most difficult matchup as the Blackhawks are +303 road underdogs against the Colorado Avalanche. Last season, Mrazek was 1-1-0 against the Avalanche with a 3.50 GAA and .897 SV% and, despite his strong start to the season, does not have a favourable matchup Thursday evening.

Cam Talbot will start Thursday vs. Minnesota.

Talbot and the Kings will look to record consecutive wins for the first time this season after an impressive 26-save, 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Mark Scheifele scored with fewer than 80 seconds left to spoil Talbot's shutout bid on Tuesday and spoil an otherwise perfect performance. After two games this season, Talbot has a 2.51 GAA and .921 SV% and looks to be the goalie-of-choice for Todd McLellan and the Kings' coaching staff. Tonight, the Kings are very slight -106 road favourites against a Minnesota Wild team that is coming off a dominant 5-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.

Campbell will start in Nashville on Tuesday.

Campbell will start for the Oilers on Tuesday night and will hope to bounce back from a miserable opening-game performance. Campbell allowed four goals on 16 shots before being relieved by Stuart Skinner en route to an 8-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers, who have been outscored 12-4 in their first two contests, are -135 road favourites tonight against the Nashville Predators as they search for their first victory of the season (0-2-0). The starting goalie position is still very much up for grabs in Edmonton and a strong performance for Campbell against the Predators could go a long way in securing some more starts down the line.

Talbot will start Tuesday's game in Winnipeg.

Talbot will get his second start of the season on Tuesday night as the Kings faceoff against the Winnipeg Jets. The Kings, who have been outscored 10-7 in their first two games, are +120 road underdogs as they search for the first win of the season (0-1-1). In his first game, Talbot allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 5-2 season-opening loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Talbot has the front track for the starting role in Los Angeles but a strong performance tonight against the Jets will go a long way in garnering him more net security.

Jeff Petry will be a healthy scratch Monday vs. Columbus.

Petry will be a healthy scratch on defence for the Red Wings Monday night after dressing seven defencemen in their previous matchup. In two games this season, Petry has zero points, -2 plus/minus, four penalty minutes, and six hits. The move allows Austin Czarnik to make his season debut.

Mrazek will start Saturday in Montreal.

Mrazek stopped 39 of 41 shots in the Blackhawks' come-from-behind win over the Penguins on opening night. It was a dazzling start to the season for Mrazek, who will face a ton of rubber behind a young Blackhawks team this season. Tonight he'll face a Montreal team that scored five goals in a 6-5 opening night loss in their season opener.

Tyler Motte will be out indefinetly with an upper-body injury.

Motte is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup indefinitely after playing 7:55 in the season opener for the Lightning. Injuries have been a recurring theme in Motte's career as he has only played more than 62 games once in his seven-year career. Alex Barre-Boulet has been recalled and could fill in for Motte in the interim.

Talbot will start against the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Talbot signed a one-year contract worth $1 million with the Kings during the offseason and will be their starter Wednesday as they take on Colorado in their season opener. The 36-year-old veteran is coming off an upsetting season in Ottawa which saw him post a 17-14-2 record, 2.93 GAA and .898 SV%. He will face the high-flying Colorado Avalanche, who finished 2022-23 10th in the NHL in goals for (274) and eighth in shots per game (33.3).

Campbell will start in Vancouver on Wednesday.

In three preseason games (3-0-0), Jack Campbel was lights-out with a 0.99 GAA and .971 SV% as he outperformed Stuart Skinner and seems to have secured the starting role in the Oilers' season-opener. The Oilers are listed as -154 road favourites against a Canucks team that ranked 13th offensively last season, averaging 3.29 goals per game. As was the case last season, and in the playoffs, the leash will likely be short for Campbell in the Oilers' crease if he is unable to string together consistent performances.
