Bachman has gone 14-4-3 with a 2.30 GAA and .921 SV% in 22 games with Oklahoma City (AHL) this season. He has one NHL appearance this season and is 14-12-2 with a 3.02 GAA and .901 SV% in his NHL career. He gets the nod in a battle between the 27th and 29th ranked teams.
Richard Bachman News
Ben Scrivens is out with an injury on Tuesday, so Bachman has been recalled to backup Viktor Fasth. Bachman has gone 14-4-3 with a 2.30 GAA and .921 SV% with Oklahoma City this season.
Bachman did not see any action during his recall. With Viktor Fasth ready to return from a groin injury, Bachman is no longer needed as Ben Scrivens back-up.
Bachman, 27, made 27 saves on 30 shots in an overtime loss in his season debut with OKC (AHL), but will now be Ben Scrivens backup for the foreseeable future after Viktor Fasth suffered a groin injury on Tuesaday.
Bachman missed over a month with a lower-body injury and likely won't be recalled unless Ilya Bryzgalov stays sidelined for longer than expected.
Bachman has not played since November 2 when he was injured in a game vs. Detroit. He could return as the Oilers back-up should Ilya Bryzgalov be out long-term but even then he is not fantasy relevant. He is 14-12-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .903 SV% in his career.
After an impressive Oilers debut, Bachman regressed in his second start giving up four goals on 26 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. He has another tough matchup tonight against the Red Wings, who have won both of their games on their Western Canada road trip so far.
The Oilers will reward Bachman with another start after a spectacular performance on Sunday vs. LA. He stopped 47 of 48 shots in a heart-breaking shootout loss. He had a .885 SV% in 13 games with the Stars last year, so don't expect this to become a reoccurring theme.
Bachman who was signed by the Oilers in the offseason is 3-4-1 with a 2.37 GAA and .925 SV% with Edmonton's AHL affiliate Oklahoma City. He started 13 games with the Dallas Stars last season (6-5-0 / 3.25 GAA / .885 SV%). He has a tough matchup vs. the Kings tonight.
Bachman is 3-4-1 with a 2.37 GAA and .925 SV% with the Barons this season.
It will be his first start since April 15th. It is a huge game for the Red Wings and a meaningless game for the Stars. It is hard to recommend Bachman as your fantasy netminder.
After a rough start to the season, Bachman has won 4 in a row (2 in relieft), allowing 3 goals in 169 minutes. Unfortuantely, he plays the Hawks tonight.
Bachman allowed two goals on 28 shots in a win over the Predators last night. He has a fairly tough matchup vs. a strong Sharks team tonight. Be wary of the matchup.
That would leave Bachman the likely guy to get the start tonight and build off of his win last night vs. Nashville.
It will be the battle of the back-ups in Nashville tonight. Bachman will go head-to-head with Chris Mason. Bachman is 4-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA and .860 SV% this season. I wouldn't recommend either goalie for fantasy.
Bachman is 2-3-0 with a 4.27 GAA and .838 SV% in five starts with Dallas this season.
It is probably going to be Bachman in between the pipes tonight because Nilstorp played yesterday and gave up five goals in a 5-4 loss to Nashville. Bachman is 1-3-0 with a 3.95 GAA and .897 SV% this season, not exactly numbers that make you feel confident about using him as a spot start.

With Kari Lehtonen out Bachman will get his second straight start today vs. Calgary. He allowed 3 goals on 21 shots on Friday in a win vs. Vancouver. He has a good matchup today against the Flames.
Bachman won after he came in for the injured Kari Lehtonen in the Stars last game. Bachman's fantasy value gets a slight boost for the time-being. He has a good matchup tomorrow vs. the Flames.
