Player Notes

  • Starting in Beantown
    Forsberg will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Advice: Forsberg played well in his last start Thursday versus Tampa Bay, turning aside 24 of 26 shots in regulation before securing a 3-2 win in the shootout. He'll try to end the season with a bang by picking up a win in a tough road matchup with a Boston team that's 24-10-6 at home this year. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
  • Guarding goal Tuesday
    Primeau will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Detroit, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

    Advice: Primeau made 27 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings on Nov. 9. He has posted a record of 8-9-3 this season with a 2.95 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 22 games played. Detroit sits ninth in the league this campaign with 3.35 goals per contest. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
  • Starting again Tuesday
    Lindgren will be between the pipes on the road against the Flyers on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Lindgren gets the starting nod on the second game of the Caps' season-ending back-to-back after stopping all 16 shots he faced versus Boston on Monday. Perhaps if the Minnesota native had faced a heavier workload, then the club would have decided to roll with Darcy Kuemper. In his last five outings, the 30-year-old Lindgren is 3-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and a .931 save percentage. He figures to remain Washington's preferred choice between the pipes should the Capitals make the playoffs. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
  • Facing Vegas
    Mrazek will guard the road net Tuesday against the Golden Knights, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Advice: Mrazek only has one win in his past five outings despite posting an impressive .916 save percentage during that span. He has provided a record of 18-30-4 this season with a 3.06 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 55 games played. Vegas sits 11th in the league this campaign with 3.24 goals per contest.

  • Tending twine Tuesday
    Markstrom will patrol the road crease versus Vancouver on Tuesday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Markstrom is stuck in a three-game losing streak while also having won just once in his last seven outings. During that seven-game stretch, the 34-year-old backstop has managed a subpar 3.48 GAA and .870 save percentage. Meanwhile, Dustin Wolf has won three in a row and could get the nod for the season finale against San Jose on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:48 am
  • Slated to start
    Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus Chicago on Tuesday.

    Advice: Thompson played well in his last start Friday against the Wild, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 7-2 blowout victory. He'll try to secure a win in what could be his last start of the regular season in a highly-favorable home matchup with a Blackhawks team that's a horrid 7-31-1 on the road this year.

  • Returned to AHL
    Silovs was sent back to the minors Tuesday.

    Advice: Silovs became expendable following the return of Thatcher Demko from a knee injury. The 23-year-old Silovs figures to link back up with AHL Abbotsford for their final two games of the regular season but should be at the top of the shortlist of call-ups should the need arise for Vancouver.

  • Starting in Columbus
    Martin will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Advice: Martin will make his first appearance between the pipes since stopping 20 shots in a 4-2 win over Columbus on Feb. 29. The 28-year-old netminder has a 4-0-1 record with a 1.97 GAA and a .922 save percentage in five starts with the Hurricanes. Columbus is tied for 26th in the league this campaign with 2.81 goals per contest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am
  • Resting for season finale
    Andersen (rest) will get the night off Tuesday versus Columbus, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Advice: Andersen will be just one of eight key players that will get the night off for the Hurricanes. Andersen, who's gone 9-1-0 while posting an exceptional 1.30 GAA and .951 save percentage through 10 appearances since returning from a blood clotting issue in March, will almost certainly get the starting nod for Game 1 of Carolina's first-round playoff series.
