Hill stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Coyotes shutout win in Nashville on Thursday. Hill has stopped all 35 shots that he has faced this season and will look to keep his shutout streak going tonight vs. the Blues. St. Louis comes in having lost seven of his last 10 games.

Hill stopped all five shots that he faced after replacing Antti Raanta to preserve the Coyotes win in Minnesota on Tuesday. With Raanta and Darcy Kuemper both day-to-day, Hill will make his first start of the season. The 22-year-old came up after going 4-1-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .871 SV% in Tucson (AHL).

Hill has gone 4-1-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .871 SV% in six games with Tucson this season. With Darcy Kuemper listed as day-to-day, Hill will backup Antti Raanta on Sunday.

Hertl has missed the last two games and five of the last seven, but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Oilers. Hertl is expected to be back on a line with Logan Couture and Timo Meier, where he has spent the majority of the season. Hertl has 16 points (5G / 11A) in 16 games.

Hertl missed Thursday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and is not expected to play on Saturday. When head coach Pete DeBoer was asked about Hertl’s status for Saturday’s game, he said “probably not.”

Hertl did not practice on Wednesday and missed Thursday’s morning skate. Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Hertl is day-to-day and will be re-evaluated on Friday. Antti Suomela will move up the lineup with Hertl out.

Hertl left Tuesday’s game vs. the Predators with a lower-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. Hertl’s status means that he is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Maple Leafs. The Sharks said they will know more tomorrow.

The Bruins had two days off in between games, so sending Lauzon down was likely a paper move. Lauzon scored his first carer goal vs. Vegas on Sunday and should be in the lineup again on Wednesday.

Saad missed the morning skate and was listed as a game-time decision, but is not on the ice for warmups. Saad will sit out for a second straight game.

Saad was a late scratch from Saturday’s game in Philadelphia and his status for Monday’s game remains in question. Saad will not take part in the morning skate and his status will be determined later, making him a game-time decision.





Hertl will miss his second straight game with a head injury, which means that Antti Suomela will remain in the Sharks lineup. Missing tonight’s game also leaves Hertl questionable for Friday’s matchup in St. Louis.

Howden missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Canadiens, but was back on the ice this morning and will play Friday in Detroit. Howden has three goals and six assists (nine points) in 14 games this season.

Lauzon failed to record a point in four games with the Bruins and his return to the AHL suggests that one of the Bruins’ injured defenseman will be back on Thursday. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick has four points (1G / 3A) in six games with Providence.
