Line Change
Johansson out, Perreault in is only #Caps lineup change, Oates said.
Johansson has 0 points and is a -5 in 4 games this season, which could be the reason for the drop from the first line to healthy scratch in one week.
Minnesota Wild News
Jared Spurgeon (foot) on IR. Means at very minimum, Spurgeon can't play vs. #cbj on Tuesday
Spurgeon was expected to take a big step forward this year as he is paired with Ryan Suter, but so far 1 assist and a -3 in three games isn't the start fantasy owners were looking for. Spurgeon shouldn't be out too long though so don't give up on the young defenceman.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start tonight in Ottawa.
After starting the season with 2 straight wins the Pens have now lost 2 straight and will look to Fleury to get them back on track in Ottawa. Fleury struggled against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday giving up 5 goals on 24 shots. You should be able to start Fleury with confidence.
Goalie Start
Marc andre fleury works out in the home net. He'll get the start tonight vs leafs.
As expected the Penguins are off to a hot start this season winning both their first two games. Fleury was great in the season opener against the Flyers and should continue his strong play tonight against the Maple Leafs. Start with confidence.
It's obviously only two games, but Tarasenko is currently tied with Hossa and Vanek for most points in the NHL (5).
The rookie Tarasenko has been the talk of the town in St. Louis. He scored two spectacular goals in the season opener and then added a goal and 2 assists last night. The kid is on fire and if he is somehow still available in your league, jump all over that and ride this streak.
Goalie Start
Fleury starting in net. Vokoun starts Sun at NYR
Fleury and Vokoun will split the weekend games for the Pens.
Line Change
First Line: 90 (Johansson) -19 (Backstrom) -8 (Ovechkin)
Johansson has a chance to have a good season. If Johansson can stick with Oveckin and Backstrom he could be a good addition to your fantasy team.
Line Change
MJ90-Backstrom-Ovie
Johansson gets another crack at the top line. In his third season, MJ hopes to improve on the 46 points in 80 games he earned last season.
In fact, Bogosian may begin skating this week. But his return date remains unknown, he'll remain on the injured reserve list (and still get paid) and it's not out of the question he'll miss the first month of season when it gets going.
Expect Bogosian to rejoin the Jets partway through the season.
Goalie Start
Fleury stole Gm 5
Fleury and the Pens look to continue the momentum for Game 6.
Goalie Start
Fleury was good enough in Game 4. Will he be in Game 5?
No surprise Pens go back to Fleury after getting the win in Game 4.
Goalie Start
#Pens coach Bylsma: Fleury will be in net for Game 4
Despite a 10.20 GAA and .798 SV%, Fleury will start for the 0-3 Pens.
Goalie Start
Will Fleury flat-out dominate, because that's now critical?
Despite the poor Game 2, Fleury will be back in.
Goalie Start
The Penguins will have an opportunity to even the series in Game 2 at 7:38 tonight at Consol Energy Center. If Fleury performs at -- or above -- the level he reached Wednesday, their chances of doing that should be reasonably good.
Unless something drastic happens, Fleury is expected to start every game.
Goalie Start
Bylsma said lineup and starting goaltender will be game-time decision. Have crazy hunch Fleury will be in goal, though.
Line Change
#Caps forward lines: 26-83-90
Johansson moves from the top line to the third.
Goalie Start
#Pens coach Bylsma: Marc-Andre Fleury will start in goal.
In five starts against the Flyers this season, Fleury has a 1-3-1 record with a 3.57 GAA and .866 SV%.
From #mnwild morning skate: Spurgeon, Kassian and Bouchard all skated before team took the ice.
Spurgeon should start next year at 100 percent. He finishes the season having scored three goals and 23 points in 70 games.
