Bishop stopped all 24 shots that he faced in his first shutout since 2011 on Thursday. He will be in net tonight when the Senators take on the Maple Leafs. The battle of Ontario is always an exciting game, so consider Bishop an average start tonight.
Bishop stopped all 24 shots that he faced in his first shutout since 2011 on Thursday. With the shutout you would expect him to be back in net tonight when the Senators take on the Maple Leafs. The battle of Ontario is always an exciting game, so consider Bishop an average start tonight.
Bishop has won each of his last three starts with a 2.54 GAA and .919 SV%. He will get the start vs. the high-powered Rangers team who have not looked so high-powered this season. It could be a good matchup, but it could just as easily be a bad matchup, depending on which Rangers team shows up.
P.M. Bouchard has snatched back his 2nd-line spot where Zucker had been playing. With Zucker not suited for 4th line duties has has been sent down.
Bishop has won each of his last two starts with a 2.91 GAA and .908 SV%. He will get the nod tomorrow vs. the Devils. New Jersey will be without Ilya Kovalchuk so that will make things a little easier on Bishop.
Bishop allowed three goals on 36 shots in his last start. Bishop has started to lose starts because of the strong play of Robin Lehner. Bishop has s strong matchup tonight vs. the Islanders, he could be worth a spot start.
Zucker missed just two games with a concussion. He will return to the Wild lineup tonight and replace Mike Rupp who is out with a lower-body injury. Zucker has four goals and one assist in 11 games this season.
Zucker was the victim of the Corey Perry that earned Perry a 4 game suspension.
Bishop has lost each of his last two starts with a 3.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He has a solid matchup tomorrow vs. the Sabres.
It appears as if Ennis (head) will be good to go for tomorrow when Buffalo plays Ottawa. Ennis will center Steve Ott and Leino who will play in his first game of the season.
Ennis missed the Sabres last game with a head injury he suffered during a hit vs. Philadelphia. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game.
Zucker was the victim of a vicious hit by Corey Perry last night that will likely result in Perry being suspended. Zucker stayed down for a few minutes before being helped off the ice by trainers. When there are hits to the head the first concern is always a concussion, but the fact that Zucker is skating this morning is positive news.
An update on his status will come tomorrow.
Bishop lost his last two starts with a 3.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He has a tough matchup tomorrow against the Habs, I would look elsewhere.
Ennis not at practice. Hecht moves up to the second line and Grigorenko fills Hecht's vacancy on Line 4.
Coach Ron Rolston said "Tyler Ennis is doing okay, just has a nice 'zipper' on his head from the stitches," the Sabres tweeted after the game. Monitor Ennis' availability for tomorrow's game vs. the Rangers.
Bishop made 26 saves during the Sens 3-2 victory over Toronto in their last meeting.
Bishop has been spectacular since taking over for Craig Anderson. He has won four games in a row with a 1.69 GAA and .949 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. a good offensive Flyers team.
Bishop has won his last three outings while posting a 2.02 GAA and .931 SV%. Ottawa is surprising everyone by continuing their solid play without Spezza, Karlsson and Anderson. He has a tough matchup vs. the Habs who have won six of their last seven.
With Craig Anderson out with an ankle injury it will be Bishop that will assume the starters role. Bishop is 2-2-0 with a 2.61 GAA and .919 SV% in limited action this season. He should make for a decent start today vs. the Maple Leafs as long as the Sens can find the back of the like they were unable to do on February 16th when the Leafs beat them 3-0.
