Domingue will start Tuesday vs. the Sharks.

Domingue allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Coyotes’ loss to Colorado on Sunday. Domingue had a rough month of October, posting a 4.38 GAA and .869 SV% en route to just one win. With Mike Smith out, Domingue is really the Coyotes’ only option, so they’ll roll him back out there tonight vs. San Jose. The Sharks are 6-3-0 while averaging 2.56 goals per game.

Bobrovsky is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Stars.

Bobrovsky finished the month of October at 3-3-1 despite posting an impressive 2.02 GAA, .940 SV% and two shutouts. It has been an excellent start for Bob, who will face the Stars for the second time this season—he posted a 32-save shutout in their first meeting.

Domingue will start Saturday vs. the Avalanche.

Domingue allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Coyotes’ win over the Flyers on Thursday. It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough for Domingue to get his first win of the season. Domingue’s 4.74 GAA and .857 SV% do not give you a lot of confidence and they shouldn’t. Leave him on your bench or on the waiver wire tonight.

Bobrovsky will start Friday vs. the Blackhawks.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Blue Jackets’ loss to the Sharks last Saturday. Columbus has been off for nearly one week, so Bobrovsky will be well rested for tonight’s game vs. Chicago. In Bobrovsky’s only start against the Blackhawks last year, he allowed four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%), but it came in a winning effort.

Domingue will start Friday vs. the Islanders.

Domingue was pulled after allowing four goals on 19 shots in the Coyotes’ 5-2 loss to the Canadiens last night. Head coach Dave Tippett said that he pulled Domingue to keep him fresh enough to start again tonight vs. the Islanders. Domingue has had a rough start to the season, having allowed a combined seven goals on just 30 shots (.767 SV%)—that’s also a 11.21 GAA.

Domingue will make his first start of the year on Thursday.

Domingue was torched for three goals on 11 shots after replacing an injured Mike Smith in Tuesday’s loss in Ottawa.

Domingue won his only start vs. Montreal last year, stopping 17 of 19 shots.

Kulikov (lower-body) will make his Sabres debut on Sunday.

Kulikov missed the Sabres’ season opener, but will be in the lineup when they take on the Oilers tonight. Kulikov will take Casey Nelson’s spot in the lineup and is expected to play on the third pairing with Cody Franson. The 25-year-old had one goal and 16 assists (17 points) in 74 games a season ago.

Bobrovsky will start Saturday vs. the Sharks.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 36 shots in the Blue Jackets’ opening night loss to the Bruins. Bobrovsky was peppered after the Blue Jackets took an early 2-0 lead and was unable to hold onto the lead. His teammates did not play well in front of him, so this can’t all be pinned on Bobrovsky, but it was an unsettling start to the season for his fantasy investors. Things won’t get any easier tonight with the Sharks in town.
