Stephenson was not on the ice for the Capitals morning skate and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Stephenson out, Travis Boyd has been recalled and will make his NHL debut vs. the Sharks.
Grubauer allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Capitals’ win over the Lightning on November 24th. Despite Braden Holtby playing very well recently, Grubauer will start tonight vs. the Sharks. He is coming off of his first win of the year and San Jose comes in ranked third last in the NHL in scoring, averaging just 2.56 goals for per game.
After a one-game absence with a hyperextended elbow, Montour is expected to replace the traded Sami Vatanen in the lineup on Friday. Vatanen’s exit makes Montour a more appealing fantasy asset and he comes into tonight with 13 points (6G / 7A) in 24 games this season.
The hits keep coming of the struggling Oilers, who lost their No.1 goaltender earlier in the week and now lose a top-pairing D-man. It’s unclear when Larsson sustained the injury, but for the time being they will re-insert Eric Gryba into the lineup and not recall anyone from the AHL.
Murray left Monday’s game vs. the Flyers after a collision with Jakub Voracek.

Jarry and DeSmith have a combined 312:45 of NHL experience.
Murray allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Penguins loss in Boston last Friday. Tristan Jarry had an impressive win vs. the Lightning on Saturday, but Murray is still expected to start tonight vs. the Flyers. Murray is 6-2-1 with a 2.33 GAA and .930 SV% on home ice this season.

The first time the Penguins and Blackhawks played this season, Murray came in in relief and allowed six goals on 31 shots in a 10-1 loss.
Grubauer stopped all six shots that he faced in relief of Braden Holtby on Tuesday. He will get a rare opportunity to start with a fresh team in front of him and that should help his search for his first win of the season. He has been one of the best spot-start options in the NHL over the years, but has struggled mightily this year—a meeting with the Avalanche could be the remedy he needs.
