Carolina head coach Kirk Muller said that Semin could jump into the lineup without practising, so it looks like he will be good-to-go on Friday. He will play on his regular line with Eric Staal and Jiri Tlusty aswell as on the first power-play unit.

He's worked with the team's power play units the last few days before the rest of the team has taken the ice but has done so while sporting a red non-contact jersey. He may miss the games over the weekend against Ottawa on Friday and in Pittsburgh on Saturday as well.
Murphy was sent down yesterday as a part of the Hurricanes getting their roster down to 23 men. Murphy posseses all the necessary tools to be an elite offensive-defenseman down the road. Once he cracks the Hurricanes roster he should be picked up in deep leagues / keeper leagues.
Jones played over 24 minutes a night in the preseason and that workload will likely carry over into the beginning stages of his NHL career. He is expected to open the season on the Preds second-pair with Kevin Klein, as well as play next to Shea Weber on the first power-play unit. “It’s been extremely easy [playing with them]. They do a lot of things that help you with your game indirectly,” Jones said. The 6-foot-3, 200lbs. defenseman is an early Rookie of the Year favourite

Peverley underwent the heart procedure on September 13th and appears on track to only miss the first game of the season. We will have to wait and see which line his new team decides to use him on. He is a versatile player that is very useful to an NHL team, not so much your fantasy team.
Pavelec had stretches of great goaltending, followed by periods of weak play. He finished the season 21-20-3 with a 2.80 GAA and and .905 SV%. He is a tremendously talented netminder but struggles with consistency. The Jets need him to be great this season if they are going to be a playoff team. He is a solid number-2, with a lot of upside. He could get off to a 1-0 start tonight versus a banged up Oilers lineup.
