Murray first. We have a zibby decision.
Zibanejad loses all of his fantasy hockey value in single-season leagues but remains a keeper.
Line Change
Bryan Murray says he could let Zibanejad play his 9th game and then let him sit for a game or two before they make decision.
Through his first eight games, Zibanejad has one assist and a minus-3 rating. Expect the team to wait and make a further decision on him after tomorrow's game.
Hot Streak
Quick is the first NHL goalie to record three straight shutouts since Columbus’ Steve Mason in Dec. 2008.
Quick is an elite starting goalie that was had at a discounted rate. As we pointed out in the preseason "His 4×5 GAA — goals against while shorthanded — was the second lowest among starting goaltenders (only Pekka Rinne was higher) with at least 60 games player." We are witnessing a very special goalie play at an elite level.

Foligno-Zibanejad-Alfeedsson
Zibanejad moves back up to the second line following the injury to Peter Regin. Through his first seven games with the Sens, the current 6th overall pick has one assist. He likely sticks with the team the rest of the season, adding depth to their forward corps.

“I’m not sure if (Zibanejad making the team) is a done deal at this point,” MacLean said. “We still have, counting tonight, 10 games we can still evaluate him, but it certainly appears, with the injuries to Peter Regin and Jesse Winchester, that the door is open for him to walk into at this point in time.”
Zibanejad is probably too good for any junior club at this point but could be sent to the AHL as a player drafted in Europe. Expect at least a nine-game tryout.

Meanwhile, Zibanejad is doing everything he can to start the season in the NHL. He scored a nifty goal in tight against the Winnipeg Jets Monday and roofed a one-timer against the Bruins in overtime last week.
Zibanejad could play in the NHL, the question is whether he has earned a spot. Last season he only played 26 games professionally, scoring five goals and nine points with Djurgardens IF Stockholm. Look for him to continue competing with Peter Regin and Stefan Da Costa.
