heads up on early starts

[Shoeless]

Flyers (Boucher - not confirmed) and Devils (Hedberg), Sharks (Niemi) and Habs (Price) go early today.

Is it confirmed Boucher? Left wing lock doesn't have a confirmed starter. Thanks for the heads up tho!

[Shoeless]

No sorry I was just throwing out the probables. I suppose it could be Bobber with Boucher going tomorrow.

Sorry to steer the direction of the thread but isn't Leighton up from his conditioning stint now too?

Also, Yahoo seems to think Philly will try to keep Leighton in the minors longer

"G Michael Leighton, who underwent back surgery on Oct. 11 and has been given a rehab assignment with the AHL Adirondack Phantoms -- he's scheduled to start for them on Friday and Sunday. Under the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, an NHL player may have a rehab assignment with a minor-league club for either three games or six days. But with Phantoms starting goalie Johan Backlund nursing a high ankle sprain, the Flyers might try to petition to the NHL to keep Leighton in the minors longer than six days.
