Murray allowed five goals on 27 shots in the Penguins loss in St. Louis last Saturday. Tristan Jarry has been getting more work because he is playing a lot better than Murray, but Murray gets the call tonight because Jarry went last night vs. Arizona. Murray is 0-2-3 with a 3.99 GAA and .852 SV% in his last six starts but he is a must-start on Saturday against a Red Wings team that has lost 10 straight games.
Grubauer stopped 38 of the 39 shots in Colorado's win in Toronto on Wednesday. Grubauer has gone 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .943 SV% in his last three outings but draws a horrendous matchup on Saturday night. The Bruins are 12-0-5 while scoring 3.53 goals per game in their 17 home games this season.
Grubauer allowed three goals on 29 shots in Colorado's win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Grubauer has won two in a row while stopping 45 of the 49 shots (.918 SV%) that he has faced. The 28-year-old has gone 4-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .912 SV% on the road this season and catches the Maple Leafs on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Wednesday.

It sounded as if the Capitals were set to waive Stephenson to clear a roster spot for Carl Hagelin to return to the lineup, but the Golden Knights stepped up. Cody Eakin is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury, so Stephenson is expected to replace him in the Vegas bottom-6. The 25-year-old hasn't done much offensively this season, posting three goals and one assist in 24 games with Washington.
Grubauer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Colorado's win over the Oilers on Wednesday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Grubauer, who has posted an .899 SV% in four games since returning from injury. Pavel Francouz faced 36 shots vs. the Blackhawks yesterday, so it could be a busy night for Grubauer on Saturday.
Murray was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots in the Penguins come-from-behind to the Canucks on Wednesday. It was another ugly outing for Murray, who has allowed at least four goals in three straight games, posting an .838 SV% in the process. He draws a tough road matchup vs. a Blues team that has won four of their last six (4-1-1).
Fleury was a healthy scratch on Thursday but will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup on Saturday. Fleury has had a slow start offensively, posting just one goal and no assists in 19 games.
Murray allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Penguins overtime loss to the Islanders last Thursday. Tristan Jarry started each of the last two games but they'll get Murray back in the crease on Wednesday. Murray has lost four in a row (0-1-3) with a 3.40 GAA and .877 SV% but has a nice matchup vs. a Canucks team that is 2-2-0 while scoring 2.50 goals per game in the first four games of their road-trip.
Mahura was a healthy scratch for the last two games and was pushed to the AHL by Hampus Lindholm's return. The 21-year-old defenseman has four points in eight NHL games and one assist in seven AHL games.
Grubauer was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots in Colorado's loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Since retuning from injury, Grubauer has gone 1-2-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .886 SV%. He will look to get back on track against an Oilers team that is 9-5-1 while scoring 2.93 goals per game on the road this season.
Larsson has been out since the season opener but is expected to play in Los Angeles. Larsson will replace Matt Benning and skate with Kris Russell on the Oilers' third pair.
Kakko missed the last games with an illness but will play Wednesday vs. the Capitals. Kakko was starting to heat up before falling ill, scoring three goals in his last two games and five in his last seven.
Grubauer has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but will start Tuesday in Calgary. Prior to getting hurt, Grubauer lost three in a row while posting a 3.36 GAA and .905 SV%. He draws a nice matchup in his return, as the Flames have lost four in a row and have been shutout in back-to-back games.
Murray allowed two goals on 21 shots in the Penguins' 2-1 loss in New Jersey last Friday. Tristan Jarry started Saturday, so they come back to Murray tonight vs. the Islanders. In his last six starts, Murray has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .894 SV%. With a ton of injuries in front of him, wins are going to be hard to come by but Murray should turn in strong splits. He stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 OT win in his first start vs. the Islanders.
Grubauer missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but was at practice on Monday and head coach Jared Bednar thinks both Grubauer and Pavel Francouz will be available on Tuesday. The Avalanche managed to go 4-1-0 without Grubauer.
