Johan Hedberg News

DeBoer said he will start backup Johan Hedberg on Friday in the front end of the home-and-home with the Isles and see where he goes from there.

In 15 career appearances against the Isles, Hedberg holds a 6-6-1-1 record with a 3.03 GAA and .894 SV%.

Johan Hedberg's back apparently is OK. He just stepped on the ice, followed by Ilya Kovalchuk.

Hedberg left the ice early but should be healthy enough to backup Brodeur tonight. Through nine games, the Moose has posted respectable 5-3-1 record with a 2.34 GAA, .920 SV% and one shutout.
