The Penguins have a loaded schedule coming up so Fleury looks to be getting an extended breather here.
Tomas Vokoun News
Vokoun allowed four goals on 13 shots in his last start. He will make his first start since April 2nd when the Penguins take on the Lightning. Vokoun is 6-1-0 on the road this season, he should make for a solid start.
Vokoun allowed four goals on 13 shots in his last start. It looks like he is in-line to make his first start since April 2nd when the Penguins take on the Lightning. Vokoun is 6-1-0 on the road this season, he should make for a solid start.
Vokoun stopped all 12 shots he faced after Marc-Andre Fleury got hurt last Tuesday and then posted back-to-back shutouts on Thursday and Saturday. He has not given up a goal in the last 162:42 so there is no reason for him not to get the start. He has a great matchup tonight vs. the Sabres and is a must-start the way he is playing right now.
Vokoun posted a 20-save shutout vs. the Jets on Thursday. He will be back between the pipes tonight with Fleury backing him up. He has a good matchup vs. the Islanders and the Penguins should be able to continue their 14-game winning streak.
Vokoun was scheduled to start tomorrow before Fleury was hurt. He stopped all 12 shots he faced in the third period last night after Fleury was hurt. He has a good matchup tomorrow vs. the Jets.
Vokoun has won four straight games and has a good chance to make it five in a row tonight vs. an Islanders. The Penguins score at will which makes Vokoun a strong candidate to win whenever he starts.
Vokoun has won all three of his last three appearances including a relief win when Fleury struggled. In those three games he posted a 2.61 GAA and .909 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. the Bruins.
It appears Vokoun will start the second game of a back-to-back vs. the Rangers and the Bruins. Vokoun has won all three of his last three appearances including a relief win when Fleury struggled. In those three games he posted a 2.61 GAA and .909 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. the Bruins.
Vokoun gets the second of B2B games this weekend. The Penguins will be without Malkin tonight.
Vokoun has only made two starts in the last two weeks and he was on the losing end of both of them. In those two contests he posted a 6.84 GAA and .815 SV%. I would be tough to give him a spot start after looking at those numbers. He has a tough matchup vs. the first place Canadiens.
After a good start to the season Vokoun has fallen off and is the clear #2 behind Marc-Andre Fleury. This will be his first start since giving up six goals on 32 shots last Wednesday vs. Philadelphia. However he has a good matchup tonight against the Panthers and is worth a spot start.
Vokoun hasn't played since February 10th and is clearly the #2 goalie in Pittsburgh. He will need outplay Ilya Bryzgalov if he is going to record a win tonight. The Penguins are a better team than Philadelphia but Bryzgalov has played this well and could steal one at any point. Vokoun makes a decent spot start tonight.
After a strong start to the season Vokoun is clearly the #2 goalie option is Pittsburgh right now. Fleury has won 4 of his last 5 starts, but it looks like it is Vokoun who will be between the pipes tonight vs. Winnipeg. Against a weak Winnipeg team if Vokoun starts he makes a strong spot start.
This is the tail-end of a home-and-home for the Penguins vs. the Devils and Fleury started yesterday so as expected Vokoun will start tonight. Vokoun is 3-1-0 with 2.08 GAA and .927 SV% this season and will look to avenge yesterday's 3-1 loss today vs. Johan Hedberg.
Vokoun has been the better of the two Penguins goalies thus far this season. He is 2-1 with a 1.81 GAA and .940 SV% and it looks as if him and Fleury might split starts evenly this year. It might be smart to have both goalies.
The Penguins have surprisingly stumbled out of the gate. Vokoun saved all 7 shots that he faced in relief of Fleury last game and will get the call tonight. It doesn't get get any easier for the Penguins tonight as they take on the Rangers.
Vokoun get the win in his first start of the season, and will get his second of year tonight against Winnipeg. It appears like Vokoun and Fleury might split starts this season, at least that is the way it's going so far. In daily leagues it would be a good idea to get both of them on your roster.
Vokoun gets the backend of the B2B. He should get plenty of playing time this season.
No surprise here but Vokoun could become an useful backup play.
