Predators GM David Poile said he expected to have Ellis back in the lineup in the last week of February or the first week of March. Ellis, who has been out since January 8th, has taken a little longer than expected, but he is finally making some progress according to Poile. With the addition of Cody Franson over the weekend, the Predators blue line is going to look really scary when Ellis returns.
Price allowed one goal on 29 shots in the Canadiens 2-1 shootout win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Price has won four games in a row while posting a 1.21 GAA and .955 SV%. In his first start against the Red Wings he stopped 27 shots in a 2-1 OT win back in October.
Ellis has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since January 8th. His return to the Predators morning skate is a good sign that he is progressing well and close to being back in the lineup.
Price made 23 saves on 24 shots in the Canadiens 2-1 win over the Flyers on Tuesday. He was given the night off on Thursday, but will be back in goal tonight vs. the struggling Leafs. Price has won three in a row, while posting a 1.31 GAA and .951 SV%. He made 24 saves in a 4-3 win in his first start vs. Toronto.
Price made 34 saves on 35 shots in the Canadiens 3-1 win over the Bruins on Sunday. He stopped 55 of 58 shots (.948 SV%) in back-to-back wins on Saturday and Sunday. Price enters play having won seven of eight with an outstanding 1.36 GAA and .952 SV%.
Price stopped 21 of 23 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 6-2 win over the Devils last night. It was not that busy of a night for Price, so he will go again tonight in Boston. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .940 SV% against Montreal this season. He is also 1-1-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .932 SV% on no rest.
Price allowed three goals on 18 shots in the Canadiens 3-2 loss to the Sabres on Thursday. It was a surprisingly back outing against a bad Sabres team. He will get a chance to redeem himself tonight with another great matchup with the Devils in town. Price is 16-6-1 at home this season.
Skinner has no points and a minus-5 rating in his last nine games, but will move to the second line with Viktor Rask and Alexander Semin tonight vs. the Coyotes. Hopefully the move will spark some offence from the former 30-goal scorer, who is on pace for just 17 goals and 15 assists (33 points) this season.
Price stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 1-0 shutout victory over the Capitals on Saturday. He was given Sunday afternoon off, but will be back between the pipes tonight. He has won five straight games and is an absolute must-start tonight vs. the Sabres.
Ellis did not participate in the Predators morning skate, but he skated alone prior to the team’s practice session. Ellis has been sidelined since January 8th and will likely miss another week before returning.
Price stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 1-0 shutout win over the Rangers on Thursday night. Since returning from his upper-body injury, Price has won all three of his starts while posting a 0.98 GAA and .971 SV%. He will make his first start of the season against the Capitals this afternoon—Price is 15-5-1 at the Bell Centre.
Price gave up two goals on 42 shots in the Canadiens 3-2 win over Dallas on Tuesday. Price has won three in a row while posting a 1.63 GAA and .947 SV%. Tonight will be a battle between to of the NHL’s hottest goaltenders when Price goes head-to-head with Henrik Lundqvist. Price is 10-5-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .926 SV% on the road.
Toffoli has missed the last six games with mono, but will be back in tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He will skate with Jeff Carter and Dwight King on the Kings second line. He has 12 goals, 15 assists (27 points) and a plus-16 rating in 41 games.
Toffoli is expected to be in the lineup tonight after practicing on Tuesday and participating this morning. He is taking line rushes with Jeff Carter and Dwight King, so he looks like a go.
Goodrow, 21, was sent down during the All Star break, but is back and will likely be in the lineup on Thursday vs. the Ducks. He has two goals and five assists (7 points) in 31 games with the Sharks this season.
Price allowed one goal on 37 shots in a 2-1 win over the Predators before the All Star break. He has gone 4-1-1 with a 1.97 GAA and .934 SV% in January. Price is t-4th in Wins (24), fifth in GAA (2.15) and SV% (.929). Tonight he will face the Stars and their fourth ranked offence (3.09 G/PG).
Price missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury, but will return to the crease tonight vs. the Predators. He allowed two goals on 16 shots in a win over the Blue Jackets in his last start. He comes in at 13-5-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .928 SV% at the Bell Centre this season.
Price returned to the ice this morning, but the Canadiens won’t know if he will play until after Tuesday’s morning skate.
Price missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, but with Joey MacDonald being sent back to Hamilton (AHL) and Price's availability for practice this morning, it appears as if he will be good to go tomorrow vs. Nashville.
Martin Jones is battling a minor injury and the Kings needed to recall J.F Berube from Manchester (AHL), so they placed Toffoli on IR to make room.
