Jose Theodore News

Sounds like FLA G Jose Theodore (groin) will be out a minimum of 6 weeks but more medical evaluation is likely before an exact prognosis.

This is a tough break for the Panthers who lose their starter for a minimum of six weeks. Theodore was 4-6-3 with a 3.29 GAA .893 SV% at the time of the injury. This will open the door for Jacob Markstrom to take over as the starter and prove to the Panthers he belongs in the NHL. Scott Clemmensen will also see his fair share of starts.

Florida Panthers goalie Jose Theodore left Saturday night's game against the Carolina Hurricanes just more than two minutes in with what the team later called a lower-body injury.

Initial reports from Dineen said Theodore would be out a while so adjust your lineups as necessary. Markstrom could be a worthy flier if you're in a deep league.

Jose Theodore starts in goal for #FlaPanthers tonight vs Penguins

This will be Theodore's first start since last Monday when he lost 3-0. Theodore isn't a great fantasy option. He is only useful to play as a spot start against weak opponents, but even then there is no guarantee Florida will win. The Panthers take on Pittsburgh tonight so it is tough to put any confidence in Theodore.

#FlaPanthers goalie situation...Looks like Theodore tonight with Clemmensen as back up, and Markstrom tomorrow in Pitt.

Theodore has allowed 15 goals in his last four starts, all resulting in losses. Goaltending prospect Jacob Markstrom was just called up from the AHL so if Theodore does not start playing well, he will begin to lose starts. He also has a tough matchup tonight against a Flyers team coming off of two big wins in a row.

Looks like Jose Theodore in net for #FlaPanthers v #Leafs

Theodore has given up 12 goals in his last three starts, all of which resulted in losses. Theodore's 3.41 GAA and .892 SV% has hurt the Panthers this season, and has certainly hurt his fantasy value. He has a fairly good matchup tonight against Toronto.

Theodore will be in net tonight for the Panthers.

Theodore has seen a lot of rubber early this season as opposing teams are averaging 38 shots a game on him. Florida just hasn't looked good offensively or defensively and that's a bad recipe for a fantasy goalie. For now stay clear of Theodore until the Panthers prove they can stop the other team and score.

Panthers José Théodore will face the Senators tonight.

Théodore had a great start to the season making 41 saves on 42 shots in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes. The Sens were also winners in their season opener so one of these teams will lose their first of the season... Will it be Théodore or Anderson?
