Noesen was the 21st overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft. He had 82 points in 63 games in 2011-12 as a member of the Plymouth Whalers. This past season was not quite as successful, but he was still a point per game player with 53 points in 51 games.
The 24-year-old netminder went 9-3-1 with a 1.88 GAA and .922 SV% as a backup for Jonathan Quick this season. Bernier is set to become a restricted free agent on July 5th. Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis said in no way should the trade be looked upon as a vote of non-confidence for James Reimer. "It's not a knock on James at all," Nonis said in a conference call. "I don't think you can be deep enough at that position.
Hamilton appeared in three games in the first round. He posted no points and averaged 15:09 time-on-ice in three games.
With Andrew Ference getting suspended in Game 1, Hamilton will enter the lineup in Game 2. Hamilton had five goals and 11 assists in 42 games in his rookie season.
Claude Julien usually does not like to use rookies in the playoffs so this is no surprise. Tyler Seguin only appeared in 13 of the Bruins 25 games in their 2010-11 Stanley Cup run.
Markstrom allowed four goals on 17 shots in a blowout loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. He will face his Florida counterparts for the third time this season. He is 1-1-0 with a 2.42 GAA and .907 SV% vs. the Lightning this season.
Markstrom played great stopping 36 of 38 shots in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. He had lost six straight while giving up 25 goals prior to Tuesday's contest. He'll face a solid Leafs team tonight, look elsewhere.
The young Swede has a a rough season after putting up some solid numbers last campaign. With 10 games tonight he probably isn't a viable starting option unless you are desperate.
Bernier has been lights out this year with a 1.86 GAA
Dougie isn't quite ready for prime-time fantasy but if you have him keep him on the bench.
The young Swede has a a rough season after putting up some solid numbers last campaign. With 10 games tonight he probably isn't a viable starting option unless you are desperate.
Markstrom has lost his last 4 starts and was pulled in 2 of those games.
Hamilton and Lucic did not take pregame warmups.
Markstrom has lost his last 3 starts .
Dougie draws back into the lineup
Those counting on the rookie to man the Bruins' powerplay will have to wait until Monday's game as the Bruins prep for a playoff push.
Markstrom allowed six goals on 23 shots in a 7-2 loss to the Jets in Winnipeg. It won't get any easier for the young net-minder tonight as he faces Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins. I don't think it would be a good idea to start him tonight.
We knew McQuaid was going to play but not who was going to come out. Dougie Hamilton will watch tonight from the press box. He has four goals and 11 assists in 39 games.
Markstrom allowed four goals on 31 shots in a loss to Washington last Saturday. He will get the nod against the Jets tonight, which isn't too bad of a matchup for him. However it is hard to trust a Panthers goalie in fantasy, especially given how bad their offense is (23rd in goals/per game).
