Goalie Start
Looks like Sergei Bobrovsky is your starter tonight. He's taken his seat in Sec. 101, Row 8. Usually does that on his starts.
In three starts against the former Thrashers, Bryzgalov holds a 1-1-1 record with a 2.66 GAA and .913 SV%.

That's right...Oliver Ekman-Larsson is leading all NHL d-men in goals as of today. #Coyotes
He's probably still available in your fantasy hockey league.

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks President and General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have assigned defenceman Chris Tanev to the AHL Chicago Wolves.
Tanev loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value with this demotion.
Goalie Start
Sergei Bobrovsky should get the start in Ottawa after Ilya Bryzgalov played the first four games for the Flyers and came out with a nice 3-0-1 record.
Bob holds a 2-1-0 record with a 2.34 GAA and .923 SV% over three career starts vs. the Sens.
Ekman-Larsson’s three goals in four games this season are tops in the NHL among defensemen and tied for fifth for all skaters.
Last season he scored a goal and 11 points through 48 games with the Coyotes. This should be a breakout campaign for the former 6th overall pick, grab him while you still can.
"Those are the kinds of things out there that we're expecting," coach Dave Tippett said. "That's how we're going to have to play if we're going to win. We need everybody doing the little things, a little extra in a game.
Ekman-Larsson starts the season on the second defensive pairing, playing alongside Adrian Aucoin. Last season he scored a goal and 11 points through 48 games with the Coyotes. Expect the former 6th overall pick to continue developing in a tight, defensive system.
Line Change
Tanev had a tough outing in CBJ, probably a good time to get Alberts in a game.
While Tanev's 'rough game' never showed up on the box score, it was a large reason why the score was relatively close. Expect Andrew Alberts to draw in if coach Alain Vigneault is comfortable using him on the right side.

Activated from injured reserve list; loaned to Manchester (AHL): Jake Muzzin – D
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Jake Muzzin and Colin Fraser on IR.
Muzzin registered an assist in last season's 11-game tryout. Avoid until he proves himself healthy and worthy of a NHL job.
Jake Muzzin is still having some headaches and didn’t practice.
Not good news for the young blue-liner. Muzzin registered an assist in last season's 11-game tryout. Avoid until he proves himself healthy and worthy of a NHL job.
Neither Kevin Westgarth nor Jake Muzzin will make the two-game preseason trip, as both will stay back to continue to be evaluated after their respective big hits.
Muzzin registered an assist in last season's 11-game tryout. He was one of the few thought to capitalize on Doughty's infamous holdout but has been relegated to the recovery room for now. Avoid until he proves himself healthy and worthy of an AHL job.
Jake Muzzin did not practice because of what Terry Murray called a stiff neck. Muzzin received a big hit from Phoenix’s Mikkel Boedker last night, for which Boedker was ejected. Murray said he believes Muzzin will return to practice tomorrow.
No reason to use the C word just yet. The Woodstock, Ont. native registered one assist in 11 games last season. The former Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds standout still holds a great deal of potential.
The 20-year-old center has agreed to a six-year contract extension with the Islanders, although the paperwork has yet to be completed, a source told ESPNNewYork.com.
Important move for the Isles as his re-signing ensures the team will remain competitive. It also solidifies his line-mates' fantasy value from Matt Moulson during even strength to Kyle Okposo on the PP.
The Ballard experiment is over. Tanev in for the Canucks tonight.
