Over six career starts against the Leafs, Anderson has a 4-2-0 record with one shutout, a 1.97 GAA and .944 SV%.
Doesn't sound like Regin will play tonight but he is certainly close to returning to the lineup. Last season he only scored three goals and 17 points as he battled through inconsistency and injury. Look for him to start the season on the third line.
Over four career starts against the Ducks, Lundqvist holds a 2-2-0 record with a 3.02 GAA and .887 SV%.
Kruger should fill in as the third line center. Last season, the Stockholm, Sweden native was held pointless over seven games with a minus-4 rating.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Sounds like Betts needs more time to recover; look for Andreas Enqvist to remain the fourth line center.
Conklin brings a 3-5-1 record with a 3.17 GAA and .878 SV% over 12 career games against the Avs.
Over 81 career starts against the Flyers, Broeduer sports a 44-27-6-3 record with nine shutouts, a 2.48 GAA and .905 SV%.
Over four career starts against the Bruins, Garon holds a 3-1-0 record with a 1.75 GAA, .947 SV% and one shutout.
Despite scoring only 12 goals last season, the former 21st overall pick is only one season removed from a 23-goal, 65-point campaign. His bounce back season is somewhat in jeopardy if he cannot stay on the ice.
Last season, Christensen scored 11 goals and 27 points over 63 games, mostly centering Marian Gaborik. He could add some offense off the bench but likely only fills occasionally.
Jurcina was scratched for Andrew MacDonald. Last season he scored four goals and 17 points over 46 games, with five points coming on the PP. If he plays every game, he could have some fantasy hockey value.
Last season he registered four goals and 27 points last season while missing 22 games, playing mostly on the top defensive pairing. With Mark Streit's return, look for him to round out the top-6.
Sounds like Ovechkin will play tonight. Last season, the consensus fantasy hockey first overall pick scored 32 and 85 points -- both the lowest totals of his career. Expect him to return to the 50-goal, 100-point range this season.
If Wideman can't suit up, he will be replaced by Sean Collins on the third pairing. Last season, the right-handed shooter scored 10 goals and 40 point in what was deemed an off season. With Mike Green and John Carlson manning the right side of the ice, expect Wideman's role to decrease significantly.
Perreault will start the season on the second line. Last season he scored seven goals and 14 points over 35 games with the Capitals. Expect around 20 points this season if he continues to shuffle in the lineup sporadically.
After centering Alex Ovechkin most of the preseason, Johansson is beaten out of a job by Matthieu Perreault. Last season he scored 13 goals and 27 points last season, moving between the first and third line pivot. He should at least climb to the 40-point level this season.
As the team's top prospect, Smith certainly holds a bit of fantasy hockey value. Keep in mind he won't play for at least five games.
Montoya has one win in his only start against the Panthers, stopping 20 0f 21 shots faced.
Parise sounds ready for the regular season following the long layoff. In his last full season he scored 38 goals and 82 points. Look for similar production while manning the top line all season.
