Grubauer will miss his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury and with Pavel Francouz also out, Adam Werner will make his first career NHL start. Grubauer appears to be getting close, so there's a chance he's back between the pipes in Vancouver on Saturday.

Murray gave up two goals on 31 shots in the Penguins win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Murray has won two straight while stopping 49 of the 54 shots (.907 SV%) and comes into Tuesday's matchup at 3-1-0 with a 2.93 GAA, .885 SV% and one shutout on the road. On the other side, the Rangers are 4-4-2 while scoring 3.70 goals per game on home ice.


Murray allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Penguins win over the Islanders on Thursday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Murray, who is now 8-3-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. The 25-year-old will be taking on a Chicago team that has just one win on the road this season, going 1-4-1 while scoring just 1.83 goals per game this season.

Grubauer is dealing with a nagging lower-body issue that will cost him a few games but nothing long-term. Pavel Francouz will start for him on Thursday and Adam Werner was called-up to serve as his backup while Grubauer is sidelined.

Murray was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the Penguins loss in Boston on Monday. Everyone is struggling against the Bruins right now, so Murray owners shouldn't worry about his latest outing. In his previous three road outings, Murray stopped 72 of the 79 shots (.911 SV%) and will try to snap the Islanders' winning streak on Thursday. The Isles have won 10 in a row while averaging 3.50 goals per game.

After coming up from the AHL, Lindgren appeared in three straight games but will be scratched in favour of Marc Staal on Wednesday.

Grubauer allowed two goals on 29 shots in Colorado's loss to the Stars last Friday. The Avalanche are struggling without Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog but Grubauer is still keeping them in games. He's lost three of four (1-2-1) while posting a 2.52 GAA and .915 SV% but draws a tough road assignment in Dallas. The Stars have won six of their last seven while scoring 2.86 goals per game.

Murray gave up two goals on 28 shots in the Penguins' overtime loss to the Oilers on Saturday. It was another strong performance from Murray, who has won six of his last eight starts (6-1-1) while posting a 1.85 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout. As good as he has been, the Bruins are a terrible matchup--they are 6-0-1 on home-ice and are sixth in goal-scoring (3.54 GF/gm).

Hayden played in five straight games but will be replaced by Jesper Boqvist on Saturday. Boqvist will move onto the second line and Wayne Simmonds will move down into Hayden's spot.

Montour was held out of Friday's game, likely to avoid him playing two games in two nights, but he'll make his first appearance of the season on Saturday. Montour will replace John Gilmour in the lineup and is coming off of a season where he had 10 points (3G / 7A) in 20 games with the Sabres after being traded from Anaheim.

Murray stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Penguins 7-1 blowout win over the Flyers on Tuesday. Murray has won two in a row while stopping 54 of 55 shots (.982 SV%) and has been victorious in six of his last seven with a 1.84 GAA and .933 SV%. Murray has played well and the Oilers have gone 2-3-1 while averaging 1.83 goals per game in their last six.

Grubauer surrendered four-goal on 38 shots in Colorado's overtime loss to the Panthers on Wednesday. Grubauer had an outstanding start to the season but has now allowed at least three goals in five of his last six starts--going 3-1-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .909 SV% over that stretch. Tonight he'll take on a Stars team that currently ranks dead last in goal scoring (2.21 GF/gm) through 14 games.

Grubauer allowed one goal on 26 shots in Colorado's win in Vegas last Friday. Pavel Francouz started on Saturday, so Grubauer is well-rested coming into Wednesday's game vs. the Panthers. He is 3-0-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .931 SV% at the Pepsi Center this season, so don't hesitate to start him against the NHL's eighth-best offence (3.50 GF/gm).

Mahura has failed to record a point in six AHL games this season but is expected to replace Brendan Guhle in the lineup on Tuesday. Mahura had one goal and four assists in 17 games with the Ducks a season ago.

Murray stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Penguins shutout win in Dallas on Saturday. Murray has been outstanding, winning five of his last six starts while posting a 1.98 GAA, .926 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he faces a Flyers team that he went 1-0-2 with a 2.25 GAA and .944 SV% against last season.

Montour will miss his 13th straight game to open up the 2019-20 season but it looks like he is on-pace to make his season debut later this week. After tonight the Sabres are off until Friday, so monitor his status as the week moves along.
