Patrick Lalime, Ottawa Senators - Lalime is expected to get the start on Monday against the Stars.
Marty Turco, Dallas Stars - Turco is expected to get the start on Monday against the Senators.
Tomas Vokoun, Nashville Predators - Vokoun is expected to get the start on Monday against the Sabres.
Felix Potvin, Los Angeles Kings - Potvin is expected to get the start on Monday against the Sharks.
Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose Sharks - Nabokov is expected to get the start on Monday against the Kings.
Garth Snow, New York Islanders - Snow has been involved in a verbal feud with Flyers' star Jeremy Roenick over the past few days because of an incident in a recent game. Said Snow: "He should be worried about playing the game, not innovating it. He thinks he's Brett Hull or something. You should remind him that he didn't go to college. He's a junior [hockey] guy. So he's not that bright." Roenick responded with: "It's not my fault [Snow] didn't have any other options coming out of high school. Second of all, if going to college gets you a career backup-goaltender job, and my route gets you a thousand points and a thousand games, and compare the two contracts, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whose decision was better." Ouch. This has no fantasy ramifications but we thought some of you guys may find it interesting and/or humorous.

Pavel Bure, New York Rangers - Bure is not progressing as he had hoped and still experiences a lot of pain in his right knee, which is actually different than the one he injured in December. Bure said that the only thing he can do without pain is skate slowly in a straight line and when he turns, the pain is so unbearable that he pretty much has to shut down. Doctors have told him that there is nothing they can do except wait for the pain to subside but Bure is worried that he may miss the rest of the regular season.
Brian Leetch, New York Rangers - Leetch skated on Sunday before practice and said that he is starting to get comfortable on the ice but that no date has been set for his return to practice. The New York Post reports that he could be back next week, but Leetch has officially ruled himself out of this weekend's all-star game with the likely replacement being teammate Tom Poti.
Radek Dvorak, New York Rangers - Dvorak skated as well on Sunday and told the New York Newsday that he should be ready to go for the Rangers' next game on Tuesday.
Michal Handzus, Philadelphia Flyers - Handzus suffered a leg injury after blocking a shot off his heel on Saturday. He has been limping around ever since and his status for the Flyers' next game is currently unknown.
Simon Gagne, Philadelphia Flyers - Gagne, recovering from a groin injury, is likely to play on Tuesday according to coach Ken Hitchcock, however Gagne himself did not sound as optimistic on Sunday.
Sergei Berezin, Chicago Blackhawks - Berezin did not play on Sunday after he popped his surgically repaired shoulder the night before. He is questionable for the Hawks' next and only game this week.
Eric Daze, Chicago Blackhawks - Daze strained his groin during the third period of Sunday's loss to the Canadiens. No word on how much time, if any, he will miss.
Chris Chelios, Detroit Red Wings - Coach Dave Lewis announced on Sunday that Chelios will undergo an MRI on his injured leg to determine the severity of the problem. He has missed the last two games but the leg, originally diagnosed as a charley horse, has bothered him for much of the month.
