Viktor Fasth News

Fasth (lower-body) is not on the ice with the Ducks this morning.

Fasth was only expected to miss a short period of time, but this injury continues to linger and force him to miss practice time. Frederik Andersen has won all three of the starts he has made while Fasth recovers. He will continue to backup Jonas Hiller until Fasth is healthy.

Fasth leads the Ducks onto the ice for warmups, he is the Anaheim starter.

Fasth was shelled for six goals on 29 shots in the season opener. The Ducks were badly out played by the Avalanche and it led to a tough night for Fasth. He will face the 2-0 Jets who have scored 10 goals in their first two games.

Viktor Fasth, who was very sharp in his final two preseason appearances, is your opening-night Ducks goaltender.

In his first NHL season, Fasth was great. He started the season off 8-0-0 start last season that earned him a two-year contract extension. He finished the year 15-6-2 with a 2.18 GAA and .921 SV%, which were very similar to his competition/teammate Jonas HIller. He will start the season opener because of a strong preseason, but these two are likely going to see an even split in starts.

Viktor Fasth will start in goal. BB said Jonas Hiller has a cold but should be able to back up.

Fasth has won each of his last two starts while posting a 1.00 GAA, .961 SV% and one shutout. He has a good matchup tonight vs. a slumping Stars team who have lost three straight.

Viktor Fasth off the ice first so he'll go again vs. Dallas.

Fasth posted a 26-save shutout against the Stars on Monday. It was Fasth's first win since March 18th which is surprising after a strong start to the season. He should make for a good start tonight as he looks for a repeat performance from Monday.
