Grubauer starts for the Capitals.

Grubauer only faced 17 shots, stopping 16 of them in last night's 2-1 shootout loss to the Sabres. The loss was no fault of Grubauer's, the Capitals were stymied by Ryan Miller and his 49-saves. The quiet night enables the Caps to turn to Grubauer again tonight, he is 5-1-2 with a 2.02 GAA and .937 SV% since being recalled. As long as he is getting the majority of the starts, he is the Capitals goalie to own.

Emelin (knee) will make his season debut tonight.

Emelin is a big, physical defenseman who will replace another big, physical D-man in Douglas Murray. He scored three goals and added nine assists (12 points) in 38 games last season. Emelin is the Habs leading hitter but is not a realistic fantasy consideration.

Alexei Emelin
Emelin (knee) has been cleared to play and will likely suit up this weekend.

Emelin has not appeared in a game this season but was stlll inked to a four-year contract extension in October. He is an important part of the Canadiens blueline, but is not a useful fantasy asset.

Alexei Emelin
The Canadiens have signed Alexei Emelin to a 4-year $16.4 million contract extension.

The 27-year-old Emelin, is a big, physical defenseman who has been a key part of the Habs blueline when healthy. He is not fantasy relevant having posted just 19 points in 105 career NHL games. Emelin participated in his first practice without a no-contact jersey this morning. He is nearing a return from a torn ligament in his knee.

Alexei Emelin
Emelin (knee) is skating hard with the Habs therapists and strength coach.

Emelin was a big part of the Canadiens defense last season, so his return to the lineup would provide a big boost. He had 12 points in 38 games in 2012-13. Montreal is expecting to get Emelin back in late November.

Alexei Emelin
#Habs announce Emelin is out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

This is a tough break for the Habs. Emelin is their most physical defenseman and plays close to 20 minutes a night. The newly acquired Davis Drewiske will likely see an increase in minutes with Emelin out.
