Rielly limped off of the ice at practice on Wednesday, but said following the skate that he is "fine" and left "only as a precaution". The young blueliner is coming off of his best game of the season---he had two assists, plus-1 rating and six shots in 22:27 vs. the Sabres on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky fractured his finger when he was struck by a puck in Blue Jackets' practice on Monday. Columbus' star netminder is expected to miss 1-2 weeks so Anton Forsberg has been recalled on an emergency basis to back-up Curtis McElhinney. Bob is 4-4-0 with a 2.81 GAA and .908 SV% to begin the season.
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Ducks on Friday. He has alternated wins and losses in his last six starts, but has allowed more than three goals just once and carries a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% into today's meeting with the Kings. It is a tough matchup, but Bobrovsky is a must-start.
Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 37 shots in a 5-4 comeback win over the Sharks last night. With Curtis McElhinney on IR the Blue Jackets will go to Bob again tonight in Anaheim. It is a tough matchup, but Bobrovsky is rocking a 2.37 GAA and .923 SV% going head-to-head with a rookie, it would be hard to put him on your bench.

Bobrovsky stopped 17 of 18 shots after replacing Curtis McElhinney when he was injured las Saturday. With so many days off between games, Goalie Bob will be back between the pipes against San Jose. He has three wins in four starts with a 2.00 GGA and .931 SV%.
Muzzin said that he would be ready to go tonight and he was skating with Drew Doughty again this morning, so he will make his season debut against the Sabres---an early opportunity to produce.

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.
