Sergei Bobrovsky starts in goal.

Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 25 shots in a 4-1 win over the Devils on Tuesday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak and was his third of the season. Last year’s Vezina trophy winner has a 2.49 GAA and .921 SV% in eight starts to begin the season. He has a tough matchup vs. the 7-3-0 Maple Leafs tonight.

Sergei Bobrovsky in the home net this morning. He starts against Cory Schneider.

Bobrovsky enters play tonight having lost each of his last four starts. He had a rough fantasy week last week - winning none of his three starts while posting a 3.37 GAA and .906 SV%. He has a good matchup vs. the 1-4-3 Devils who rank 24th in the NHL in scoring.

Bobrovsky will start tomorrow.

Bobrovsky turned aside 30 of 32 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday. Goalie Bob was good once again, but the Blue Jackets had a difficult time against the Red Wings and Jonas Gustavsson. This will likely happen a lot from him this season, good numbers but not a lot of wins. He has a fairly tough matchup against the Habs tomorrow.

Bobrovsky will start for the Blue Jackets.

Bobrovsky gave up two goals on 35 shots in a tough-luck 3-1 loss to the Bruins on Saturday. Last year's Vezina winner has picked up right where he left off, he has posted a 2.22 GAA and .926 SV% in four starts. He has a tough matchup on the road vs. Detroit tonight.

Bobrovsky starts his fourth straight this afternoon.

Bobrovsky won each of his last two starts, vs. the Islanders and Sabres. His GAA has dropped to 2.28 and SV% up to .920. The Blue Jackets welcome the Bruins to town this afternoon, which usually is not a good matchup. However the were shutout by J.S Giguere on Thursday, so feel free to roll the dice with Bob.

Seth Jones will be paired with Shea Weber to begin tonight's game.

With Roman Josi out with a concussion the Predators have to shake up their pairings a bit. Jones has yet to register a point but he has averaged 22:11 TOI in his first two NHL games. Alongside Weber, Jones could become a legit fantasy option in his rookie season.

Sergei Bobrovsky gets the call in goal vs. the Flames.

In his first season as a Blue Jacket, Bobrovsky was outstanding. He almost carried the team to the playoffs on the back of a Vezina Trophy winning season - 21-11-6 record, 2.00 GAA and .932 SV%. His numbers are expected to drop-off slightly in 2013-14, but not too bad. The secret is out on Bobrovsky, he is a legit fantasy number-1.

This year's fourth overall pick, Seth Jones is going to be given a big role on the Predators blueline as soon as the season starts.

Jones played over 24 minutes a night in the preseason and that workload will likely carry over into the beginning stages of his NHL career. He is expected to open the season on the Preds second-pair with Kevin Klein, as well as play next to Shea Weber on the first power-play unit. “It’s been extremely easy [playing with them]. They do a lot of things that help you with your game indirectly,” Jones said. The 6-foot-3, 200lbs. defenseman is an early Rookie of the Year favourite

Seth Jones
This year's fourth overall pick Seth Jones appears to be set to start the season on the Predators top-pair with Shea Weber.

"It looks like Seth Jones will play in their top-four alongside Weber," David Boclair of the Nashville Post said. Jones is a great puck moving D-man and playing alongside Weber makes him an intriguing late round pick.

The Panthers got younger in the front and back end Monday by signing Finnish center Aleksander Barkov

Barkov might just crack the young Panthers' roster out of camp as they'll need a forward to fill Weiss' shoes. Don't expect him to reach his potential in year one but in a few years, the center should be a legitimate fantasy option.
