Goalie Notes:

• Roberto Luongo (VAN) stopped all 29 shots for his fourth shutout of the season
• Ondrej Pavelec (ATL) did my Canes a favor by shutting out the Rangers.  He stopped 29 in the game.

• Niklas Backstrom (MIN) was removed after allowing 5 goals on 23 shots.  Theodore mopped up the final 5 shots in the loss to Vancouver.

• Brian Elliott (COL) and the Avs lost again.  Elliott gave up 4 goals on 37 shots to the Stars.

Skater Notes:

• Ryan Kesler (VAN) reach 40 goals with the hat trick last night

• Henrik Zetterberg (DET) will sit out the last couple games of the season with a lower body injury
• Tomas Vokoun (FLA) is expected to be available for tonight.  May be his last chance to impress before he hits the free agent market this summer.
• Danny Briere (PHI) is probably for tonight (groin)
• Ryan Clowe (SJ) is questionable for tonight
• Alex Edler (VAN) returned to action for Vancouver last night

Recommended Starting Goalies for Daily Fantasy Hockey Tonight:

Plenty of action to choose from tonight as you prepare for the final $300 game of the regular season on Draftstreet tonight.  Here are some good options in net:

1. NAS vs COB - The Preds are rising fast in the West, with 8 wins in their last 10 games.  They face a depleted Columbus roster with nothing to play for.  Expect Rinne in net (not confirmed)

2. CAR vs ATL - The Thrashers did Carolina a favor last night, but don't expect The Canes to be kind in return tonight.  Carolina has won 7 of 10 and can close in on a playoff spot with a win tonight.  Expect Ward in net.

3. DAL vs COL - The Stars must win to stay alive.  They couldn't ask for a better opponent, as the Avs have shown no signs of life for months now.  Look for Lehtonen in the cage.
