Nope!

'Martin Biron will NOT play tonight. He is out sick with flu. Will be Lundqvist in goal vs. WPG; Johnson to back up.' (Katie Strang)

Thanks for posting this - I saw Biron earlier and would likely have double checked later, but sometimes yous gets busy! Go Lundy!

Cheers.

I have either Crawford vs Nas, Rask @Was, or Hiller @Dal; which two do I start?

I was leaning towards Crawford and Hiller but I am thinking an Ovi-less and Backs-less Caps team "should" be pretty "easy" for Rask. Plus you never really know with Crawford but that is the only home start. And I think it's a must with Hiller, him and the Ducks have been on fire. Stats are W, GAA, SV%, & SHO.

Awesome! If Lundy didn't start, I would've lost all my goalie cats this week haha

You have a shortened week? In Yahoo, it's extended until the 5th.

[MarkSkinner]

I'm debating Rask (if he starts) against Washington or Fleury against STL... Any suggestions?

CBS has a shortened week... today's the last day, and Lundy was my only goalie start in my H2H haha

No Ovie, No Backstrom against the Bruins... I'll take Rask if he's starting

That's a pretty poor setup for CBS - don't know why they wouldn't change it.

I'm glad Lundqvist is in as well, but for my roto league.

Interesting, I have another decision to make if Rask is playing (should have listened to you last time). Lundqvist, Hiller and Rask. Even though no Ovechkin and Backstrom, I'm thinking Lundqvist and Hiller.

[hawkeyez17]

Agreed Rask is your guy if he goes.

I wouldn't ever sit Rask when he's starting for Boston.

Yeah that's a tough one... I'm with you though, I'd still roll Lundy and Hiller - Ducks are on the warpath and Stars have been playing poorly.

Okay, so I have Smith vs Ott, Hiller @ Dal, Vokoun vs Bos, Fleury @ StL.

Cats are GS, W, L, GA, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

I'm thinking of going Smith and Hiller.
Vokoun against Boston I think is self explanatory. Fleury may get the win but I think his other cats may suffer especially since Elliot is 4-1-0 against Pitt and StL is 21-3-3 at home.
Hiller and Smith doesn't have the best record against the teams they are facing but Smith is doing well with Phoenix and the Ducks have turned their game around.... am I right?

Also, I can pick up Gustavsson @NYI, Lehtonen vs Anh and Nabokov vs Tor from waivers if those are better pick ups and plays. Thanks
