Jeff Hackett, Boston Bruins - Hackett is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Canucks.
Marc Denis, Columbus Blue Jackets - Denis is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Red Wings.
Manny Legace, Detroit Red Wings - Legace is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Blue Jackets.
Roberto Luongo, Florida Panthers - Luongo is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Maple Leafs.
Garth Snow, New York Islanders - Snow is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Rangers.
Mike Dunham, New York Rangers - Dunham is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Islanders.
Ed Belfour, Toronto Maple Leafs - Belfour is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Panthers.
Peter Skudra, Vancouver Canucks - Skudra is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Bruins.
Corey Schwab, New Jersey Devils - Coach Pat Burns announced over the weekend that Schwab will get one start this week either Tuesday in Minnesota or Wednesday in Calgary. We will try to get a definitive answer for tomorrow's game on which one he is starting.
Olaf Kolzig, Washington Capitals - Even though he started in back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday, Kolzig is still expected to start every game for the remainder of this week. He is one of the league's busiest goaltenders so this comes as no surprise.
Dan Cloutier, Vancouver Canucks - Cloutier's sprained knee is healing quicker than expected and the Vancouver Province reports the team hopes that he will be able to rejoin his teammates sometime on the Canucks' upcoming road trip.

Eric Daze, Chicago Blackhawks - Daze was released from a local hospital after fighting a foot infection and is ready to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Stars.
Phil Housley, Chicago Blackhawks - Housley, sidelined because of a broken foot, is expected to begin rehab work sometime this week and if all goes well, could return to the lineup for the last few games of the regular season.
Bill Guerin, Dallas Stars - Guerin underwent emergency surgery on his injured thigh on Saturday in an effort to drain blood from the area. The injury got so bad that at point the swelling actually got off all circulation from the affected area. The very earliest he will return is for the first round of the playoffs and that too is an optimistic estimate.
Chris Chelios, Detroit Red Wings - Chelios re-aggravated a knee injury during Sunday's win over the Coyotes in the second period and was not able to finish the game. He will be re-evaluated on Monday before the Wings play the Blue Jackets.
Steve Yzerman, Detroit Red Wings - As reported yesterday, Yzerman will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jackets. Expect Igor Larionov to be scratched in his place as the Wings do not like to play the veteran center on consecutive nights.
Owen Nolan, San Jose Sharks - Nolan is listed as day-to-day with a bruised back muscle after tests revealed no structural damage. The rugged winger was cross checked with just a few seconds left in Saturday's game against the Flames and had to be helped to the back.
Mattias Ohlund, Vancouver Canucks - Ohlund's bruised knee isn't as serious as initially thought and it is hoped that the defenseman could be back sometime this week.
Jan Hlavac, Carolina Hurricanes - Hlavac missed Sunday's game with a hand injury suffered Saturday. Hlavac said X-rays in Toronto showed a broken bone, but the Hurricanes have decided to get a second opinion.
Olli Jokinen, Florida Panthers - Jokinen is still suffering from the effects of a stomach virus that has seemed to sap his strength. He will get it checked out this week but will continue to play through it. FYI, in case you have wondered about Jokinen's reduced production as of late.
Robert Lang, Washington Capitals - Lang has seen his icetime reduced due to defensive lapses. He is playing with Jaromir Jagr and Kip Miller and thus, the Capitals coaching staff wants him to be aware of his defensive responsibilities.
Zigmund Palffy, Los Angeles Kings - With the Kings fighting for the playoff lives, expect them to give Palffy plentiful icetime. He has played 26 and 29 minutes in each of the past two games, which is usually unheard of for a forward. Palffy is also one of the league's hottest players right now so this is great news to his fantasy owners.
