Bobrovsky stopped 17 of 18 shots after replacing Curtis McElhinney when he was injured las Saturday. With so many days off between games, it is a near certainty that Goalie Bob will be between the pipes against San Jose. He has three wins in four starts with a 2.00 GGA and .931 SV%.
This is great news for the Kings' and perfect timing following the indefinite suspension of Slava Voynov. Muzzin is the 'cross darling' and will be back on the top-pair with Drew Doughty and should be a rock solid fantasy defenseman this season.
Muzzin has yet to play this season, but is nearing a return. He said he will not rush back just because of Slava Voynov's arrest, but he still feels like he is ready to make his season debut on Thursday.
The Kings could really use Muzzin back after Slava Voynov was suspended indefinitely on Monday. The Kings don't play until Thursday, so there is a good chance that Muzzin will be ready to go.
Muzzin hasn’t played since suffering an injury in the preseason game against the Avalanche in Colorado Springs on October 2. Though he has been practicing with the team, he hasn’t been cleared to return to game action. Muzzin is expected to get an X-ray on October 23rd, which is three weeks from the day he was injured, a decision on his status should be made after that.
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 34 shots in a loss to the Stars on Tuesday. It was his first loss of the season, but it was an otherwise decent night. Tonight, he will make his fourth straight start tonight and he enters play with a 2.01 GAA and .927 SV% in his first three outings. He draws a good matchup tonight with the Flames in town.

The Kings will pay Muzzin an average of $4 million per year, which is a very reasonable cap-hit for your number-2 defenseman. Muzzin has not played yet this season but is coming off of a 24-point (5G / 19A) year and is just 25-years-old. He has an absolute cannon from the point and that cannon will be on the Kings blueline for five more years.
Bobrovsky stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Blue Jacekts 5-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday. Bobrovsky has started the season 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .938 SV%, despite having an injury ravaged lineup playing in front of him. He will try to make it three in a row tonight when he takes on Dallas--a team he was 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .955 SV% against last season.
Muzzin has yet to be medically cleared to play on Tuesday and he expressed doubt over his availability for tomorrow. It sounds like the most likely scenario is for Muzzin to return this weekend when the Kings take on the Stars on Saturday.
Muzzin said he feels like he is close to a return but has not yet been cleared to get back into the lineup. So expect Muzzin to miss his third straight game, but he should be back next week.
Muzzin has missed the first two games of the season, but could make his season debut tonight vs. the Jets. Expect a full update on Muzzin shortly.
Bobrovsky allowed a single goal on 22 shots in a win over the Sabres in the season opener. Tonight, Bob gets the nod in the Blue Jackets home opener against a Rangers team who are starting their backup. Bob was 1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and .925 SV% against the Rangers a season ago.
Tanev suffered an injury in Wednesday's season opener that forced him to miss practice on Thursday, but he was back on the ice Friday and could be in the lineup when they take on the Oilers. Tanev will be evaluated tomorrow and then a decision will be made.
Muzzin missed the season opener with what Darryl Sutter called a "frustrating injury". It was announced on Thursday that Muzzin would likely miss a few games, so consider him day-to-day.
Tanev suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's season opening 4-2 win over the Flames. Head coach Willie Desjardins did not shed any light onto Tanev's situation but hopes he is back for their next game which comes on Saturday. Tanev finished Wednesday's game with two assists, two shots and a minus-1 rating in 19:45 TOI. Note that Tanev had just 11 assists in 64 games last season.
Muzzin was on the ice for Kings practice this afternoon, but apparently the injury won't stop him from skating and he may even take warmups, but he will miss a couple more games. Muzzin's fill-in Brayden McNabb was a minus-1 with no shots in 23:27 TOI.
There was no report of an injury to Muzzin until this morning. If he plays he will line up in his usual spot with Drew Doughty, but if he is unable to play, Doughty will play with Brayden McNabb. With only a few games tonight you won't get burned by having him in your lineup in daily leagues.
Bobrovsky saw a ton of rubber in the preseason. He faced 134 shots, more than any other netminder and posted a 3-1 record with a 1.92 GAA and .948 SV%. The Blue Jackets will need him to be that sharp to start the season because their lineup is really depleted due to injuries, but Goalie Bob should be up for the task. He draws a nice matchup for Game 1 vs. the Sabres.
Head coach Ted Noland announced today that they will be without McCabe for a week or so after he was placed on injured reserve yesterday. The 20-year-old D-man had one assist in seven games with the Sabres last season and will compete with the likes of Rasmus Ristolainen and Mark Pysyk for playing time.
