Forsberg gets the nod for the Blue Jackets.

Forsberg allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Blues Jackets loss to Arizona on February 3rd. He has gone 0-2-0 4.34 GAA and .861 SV% in three NHL starts this season. He draws a rough matchup on Long Island—New York is fifth in the NHL with a 3.02 goals per game.

The Maple Leafs have recalled Antoine Bibeau from Toronto (AHL) on an emergency basis.

This morning the Maple Leafs announced that Jonathan Bernier would start and James Reimer appeared to be fine in the morning skate, so something is up. Bibeau is likely here to serve as Bernier’s backup, but nothing is confirmed at this point. Bibeau is 8-7-5 with a 2.58 GAA and .917 SV% with the Marlies.

Forsberg is in the 'starter's crease' this morning.

Forsberg, 22, was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots back in November. He has struggled with the Blue Jackets, but has gone 18-7-1 with a 2.04 GAA and .927 SV% in Springfield (AHL) this season. He make for a strong spot-start option with the Coyotes in town.

The Blue Jackets have recalled Anton Forsberg from Springfield (AHL).

Forsberg, 22, has been recalled because Sergei Bobrovsky will be sidelined for at least one month with a groin injury. Forsberg has gone 18-7-1 with a 2.04 GAA and .927 SV% in 27 games with Springfield this season. He could get a chance to become the Blue Jackets starter with Goalie Bob out.

Anderson will start Wednesday vs. Toronto.

Anderson allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Senators 3-2 overtime loss in New York. Tonight will mark the second time that he has started both games of a back-to-back (he won the first time). Anderson has yet to face the Maple Leafs this season, but they are in a free-fall right now, so Andy should be an OK start tonight.

Anderson allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Senators 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday. Anderson has been great for the majority of the last month, going 6-3-2 with a 2.09 GAA and .924 SV%. Tonight he draws a tough matchup in New York. The Rangers are among the NHL’s hottest teams as of late.

He will look to keep things going tonight with the Hurricanes in town. It is a nice matchup—Carolina is 29th in the NHL in scoring (2.00 G/PG)
