Fleury stopped all 18 shots that he faced in the Penguins 5-0 win over the Sabres last Saturday. He was given Tuesday night off, but will be back in net tonight riding a four-game winning streak and having just signed a four-year, $23 million contract extension on Wednesday.
Fleury was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, but is now locked up through the 2018-19 season. Fleury is playing on a $5 million cap-hit this season, that will bump up to $5.75 million for the next four seasons. Fleury is 7-2-0 with a 1.89 GAA and .931 SV% in his first nine starts this season.
Merrill was held out of last night’s game with an arm injury. He had X-rays done and the results came back negative, but it will still keep him out of the next two games at least.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game vs. the Blues with an undisclosed injury but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. He is expected to return to the wing alongside Derick Brassard and Rick Nash.
Foligno is reportedly “banged up” but no word has been released as to what ailing him. He will sit again tonight, which means Johan Larsson will remain in the lineup vs. the Canadiens.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game, but was back on the ice for practice on Tuesday and is skating again today, which suggests he will be in the lineup tonight vs. Detroit. After a breakout 2013-14, he has just four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
Devils head coach Pete DeBoer would not elaborate on what Merrill is dealing with, but he will not play tonight and will be replaced by Eric Gelinas. Consider Merrill day-to-day.
Zuccarello did not skated for the last two days and missed last night's game, but he is back on the ice with the team this morning, which suggests he could be back in the lineup on Wednesday vs. the Red Wings.
Zuccarello was reportedly spotted limping around the Rangers dressing room on Sunday. He will not play tonight, so Ryan Malone will slide into the lineup, despite clearing waivers this afternoon. Consider Zuccarello day-to-day.
Zuccarello was not on the ice for the Rangers morning skate because he was "receiving treatment". If Zuccarello can't go and Ryan Malone is claimed off of waivers at noon, the Rangers will have to recall a forward from Hartford (AHL).
Zuccarello is "receiving treatment" this morning according to the Rangers. Alain Vigneault will address the media after the skate at which point we will update whether Zucc will be in the lineup tonight or not.
Fleury stopped all 36 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Kings on Thursday. He has won six of eight starts with a 2.13 GAA and .926 SV% to start the year. He is an absolute must-start tonight vs. the Sabres.

Brodin missed the last two games with general body soreness and what is believed to be a hand related injury. With Jared Spurgeon out, it would be key for the Wild to get Brodin back vs. the Stars.
Spurgeon was reportedly late in Thursday's game and it will cost him a few games. There is no word on the nature or severity of his injury, but he should be considered day-to-day. Jonas Brodin could be back in the lineup on Saturday to fill-in for Spurgeon.
Fleury gave up three goals on 19 shots, including a softy nine seconds in, but the Penguins lit up the scoreboard for an 8-3 victory vs. new Jersey on Tuesday. Fleury will go again tonight against a Los Angeles team without Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar.
Bogosian was not on the ice for the Jets morning skate so it does not seem likely that he will play, but we will wait for warmups. If he can't go, Adam Pardy will be in the lineup.

There is still no word on exactly what is ailing Brodin after he crashed into the boards heavily on Monday. However, he won't be in the lineup for the second straight game and should be considered day-to-day until there is more information released on the severity of his injury.
Brodin crashed violently into the end-boards after being checked from behind by Chris Kreider on Monday. He returned for the third period of that game, but was too banged to play last night. Brodin reportedly had his left hand bandaged up after Monday's game, but it sounds like he is battling a a couple of minor injuries.
