He stopped 94 of 100 shots in three games with the Lightning recently, when Ben Bishop was injured.

Justin Abdelkader - On a three-game point streak, the Detroit winger has been playing and scoring more this year, thanks in large part to frequent linemates Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Colton Sceviour - Getting a chance with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on the Stars top line, Sceviour has five points (1 G, 4 A) in his past seven games.
