After a two games suspension for cross-checking Adam McQuaid last Tuesday, Roussel will play tonight in St. Louis. With Tyler Seguin out, the Stars had to shake their lines up, which means Roussel will play in the top-6.
Roussel has been suspended for the next two games after he cross-checked McQuaid in the face on Tuesday. He will miss Friday’s game vs. Florida and Saturday’s game in Colorado. He is eligible to return next Tuesday in St. Louis.
Tierney, 20, has registered two assists in 14 games with the Sharks this season. While in Worcester he has collected seven goals and 17 assists (24 points) in 26 games. He is not expected to be in the lineup tonight vs. the Flames.
Tierney, 20, has two assists in 14 games with San Jose this season. He heads back to Worcester where he has 10 points (1G / 9A) in 12 games.
Tierney, 20, has two assists in 11 games with the Sharks this season. While in the AHL he has collected 10 points (1G / 9A) in 12 games. He will centre the fourth line tonight with Mike Brown out with an injury.
Tierney registered two assists in 11 games with the Sharks, but has been sent down to make room for Tyler Kennedy who has been activated from IR and is expected to make his season debut tonight.
Roussel, 24, had 14 goals and 15 assists while averaging 13:20 TOI in 81 games for the Stars last season. Roussel is an interesting fantasy asset because he has skill but an in your face attitude which helped him compile 209 penalty minutes last year. He is worth a late-round flier (in PIMS leagues) because of his 20-goal, 200 PIMS potential.
Roussel was a healthy scratch last night, but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Rangers. Roussel has become on of the NHL's premiere "pests" and is a serviceable asset in leagues that include PIMs. He currently leads all players with a 109 PIMs and his 15 points (8G / 7A) is tops among players in the top-10 in PIMs.
Roussel was just sent down last week but has now been recalled again. He isn't fantasy relevant.
Roussel was only playing an average of 7:26 per game, he had just 1 goal and was a -3 in 5 games.
