Varlamov will not be available to serve as Philipp Grubauer’s backup on Wednesday, so Pavel Francouz was recalled on Tuesday. Consider Varlamov as questionable heading into Friday’s game against the Rangers.
DeAngelo was in the lineup for the last two games but played just 11:56 TOI on Monday and will be replaced by Fredrik Claesson on Wednesday.

Rittich will not be available for Wednesday’s game in Detroit, which means that Mike Smith will likely start and Jon Gillies has been recalled to serve as the backup. There is no update on how long Rittich is expected to be out, so treat it as day-to-day until the Flames release more information.
Clutterbuck was hurt early in the Islanders’ game in Dallas last Sunday and will not play Friday vs. the Senators.
Rittich gave up four goals on 36 shots in the Flames loss to the Lightning last Thursday. Rittich has lost two straight but remains a solid 3-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in seven December appearances. Even though he’s been steady all season, Rittich is a risky option in Winnipeg—the Jets are 13-4-2 on home-ice and rank fourth in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.53 GF/pg).

Hogberg was a third-round pick (No.78 overall) in 2013 and is in his third AHL season. Hogberg has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .906 SV% in seven games this season and will likely only serve as Mike McKenna’s backup on Saturday.
Varlamov allowed three goals on 20 shots in Colorado’s loss to the Islanders on Monday. Varlamov is in the middle of a rough stretch, having lost four of his last five while allowing a combined 21 goals on 135 shots (.844 SV%). Despite starting in the second game of a back-to-back, Varlamov has a good chance to get back in the win column in Arizona.
Rittich stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Flames loss in Dallas on Tuesday. It was still a strong performance but the loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Rittich, who has allowed just seven goals on the last 126 shots (.944 SV%) that he has faced. Rittich is 5-0-1 with a 3.09 GAA and .881 SV% in seven appearances at the Scotiabank Saddledome this year.
