Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 28 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Stars on Tuesday. Bobrovsky has had an inconsistent season, but has now allowed just one goal in three of his last four starts. Bobrovksy is 1-2-0 with a 4.36 GAA and .876 SV% on the road.
Mermis has recorded five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with the Roadrunners this season. Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers were not on the ice for Coyotes’ practice on Tuesday, which could have something to do with Mermis being called-up.
Tanev has missed the last five games with a hip issue that he suffered while blocking a shot in Vegas on October 24th. Tanev will likely log huge minutes while Alex Edler is out, which is nothing new for the Canucks blueliner, who was already playing nearly 22 minutes per night this season.
Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Blue Jackets loss in Los Angeles on Saturday. In his last four starts, Bobrovsky is 1-3-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .904 SV%. Tonight he faces a Stars team that is 3-0-1 in their last four games, but come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Roslovic has played in every game so far this season, but will give way to Nic Petan vs. the Panthers on Friday. The young centre played just 4:21 TOI yesterday and has averaged just 7:20 TOI/GM in 13 contests this season, amassing just two assists.
Paul has been called up a few times already this season, but has yet to play for Ottawa. In six AHL contests, the 23-year-old two goals and four assists (six points).
Bobrovsky stopped 23 of 24 shots after replacing Joonas Korpisalo in the Blue Jackets 5-3 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday. Bobrovsky had a tough start to the season, but Tuesday’s outing could be a sign of things to come. Tonight he will face a Sharks team that has gone 4-0-2 while averaging 4.00 goals per game in their last six games.
Tanev will miss his fourth straight game with a bruised hip, but the Canucks are hopeful that he will be able to travel on the Canucks upcoming six-game road-trip.
Tanev has missed the last three games with a hip injury and was placed on IR to create a roster spot for the Canucks to recall Brendan Gaunce from Utica (AHL) because Brandon Sutter got hurt on Monday night.
Tanev will miss his third straight game with a hip issue and remains day-to-day. Michael Del Zotto will remain in the Canucks lineup while Tanev is sidelined.
McCabe suffered an upper-body injury on Saturday and is questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Flames. McCabe has had a solid start to the season, picking up seven points (1G / 6A) in 11 games.
Matthews was forced to leave Saturday’s game with an apparent left shoulder injury following a heavy collision with Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba. Matthews missed 20 games last season with two separate “upper-body” injuries and a right shoulder injury that cost him 10 games in March. This is obviously a huge blow to the Maple Leafs lineup as the third-year centre had 10 goals and six assists (16 points) in his first 11 games. Nazem Kadri will step up into a bigger role with Matthews sidelined and this puts added pressure on GM Kyle Dubas to get a deal done with RFA William Nylander.
Tanev missed the second-half of the third period on Wednesday and is questionable to play Thursday in Arizona. If Tanev and Alex Edler are both unavailable against the Coyotes, the Canucks will need to call-up a defenseman from Utica (AHL).
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday. Bobrovsky has alternated wins and losses through his first five starts, posting a 3.84 GAA and .876 SV% in the process. Bobrovsky has looked a little better in his most recent games and has a solid matchup against a Coyotes team that is last in goal-scoring (1.43 GF/PG) so far this season.
