Carlson was listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game, but will not miss at least a couple of games with a lower-body injury. This is a huge blow to the Capitals blueline, who will get Aaron Ness from Hershey (AHL) to act as their seventh defenseman while Carlson is out.
Carlson took warmups, but was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury. Connor Carrick will replace him.
Carlson was listed as a game-time decision, but he is on the ice for warmups, which is a good sign that he will play his 413th consecutive game. He has emerged as one of fantasy hockey’s best defensemen, so make sure he’s in your lineup.
Carlson sustained a minor lower-body injury on Saturday and is listed as a game-time decision for Monday’s game. Carlson’s iron man streak is in jeopardy of coming to an end—he has appeared in 412 consecutive games. Puck-drop is at 7 p.m, so monitor his status when warmups get underway at 6:30 p.m.
In Vasilevskiy’s last start, he was pulled after allowing two goals on 10 shots. He is 2-4-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .910 SV%w with the Lightning this season, but recently returned from the AHL where he went 0-1-1 with a 3.47 GAA and .892 SV% in two starts. He has struggled this year, but draws a nice matchup tonight in Toronto.
Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on eight shots after replacing the injured Ben Bishop in the Lightning’s win last night. It will be Vasilevskiy’s first start since November 27th, when he gave up four on 33 in a loss in Washington. Valiseskiy is 2-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .917 SV% in five starts this season.
Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 20 shots in the Lightning’s loss in Florida on November 16th. Vasilevskiy has won two of four while posting a 2.03 GAA and .929 SV% this season. He draws a terrible matchup in Washington.
Girgensons remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight vs. the Blues.
Girgensons was held out of the lineup on Tuesday and is expected to miss at least the next two games with an undisclosed injury. With Girgensons out, look for Tim Schaller to remain in the lineup.
Girgensons missed Monday’s practice and was not on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate which suggests that he will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. If Girgensons can’t go, look for Tim Schaller to get back into the lineup.
Girgensons missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury and could miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Stars. Girgensons was hit hard on Saturday which is likely the reason for today’s absence. Monitor his status on Tuesday morning, but his two points in 17 games has him well off of the fantasy radar right now.
Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 26 shots in the Lightning’s loss to the Sabres last Tuesday. Ben Bishop started the last two games, including a loss to the Panthers on Saturday. Vasilevskiy will get his shot at the Panthers tonight in Florida. He has a 2.37 GAA and .924 SV% in three starts but will have an extremely banged up lineup in front of him tonight.

Vasilevskiy has won his first two starts with the Lightning while stopping 62 of 66 shots (.939 SV%) that he’s faced. Tonight he is a must-start as he goes up against the Sabres again. If he continues to play well, he will continue to split time with Ben Bishop.
