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 allowed four goals on 35 shots on Thursday. It was his third straight loss and things don't get any easier today when he faces Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.
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.

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 won each of his last two starts, vs. the Islanders and Sabres. His GAA has dropped to 2.28 and SV% up to .920.

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.

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.
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

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.
Marchand had just three assists in seven games in the Bruins first round series, he will need to be better vs. the Rangers.
Bobrovsky has won seven out of his last eight starts. He is a must-start at this point and with the playoffs on the line he will likely be at his best. Start him.
