Oscar Moller will stay with the Kings. They will play him for Game 10 today, so he's in. Moller should be good for 40 points this season, 50 for the next two, and then a nice 75-point breakout year. His upside is 80. He is ranked 28th on my prospects list.

 

Tim Connolly will finally make his season debut today. He will play with MacArthur and Pominville. Roy will be between Vanek and Kotalik. Mair will center Stafford and Afinogenov.

 

Brad Richards missed yesterday's contest with a "lower body" injury. He is day to day.

 

Dallas recalled Chris Conner to replace Richards. He played just 12:43.

 

Loui Eriksson played over 22 minutes last night with linemates Ribeiro and Morrow. He scored another goal and has been hot ever since being placed on that line.

 

Fabian Brunnstrom played just 10:55.

 

It's looking like Sheldon Brookbank will get a shot at replacing Andy Greene for the Devils. Anssi Salmela has just one point in six AHL contests, so I figure the Devils will want to keep him there for awhile yet, depending on how Brookbank does.

 

Erik Cole and the Oilers will be in Carolina today. Look for a big game from Cole.

 

The Panthers have sent Shawn Matthias down to Rochester.

 

The Flyers have sent Steve Downie and Josh Gratton to the Phantoms.

 

Chuck Kobasew is targeting Thursday for a return from his broken leg.

 

FINALLY. John Anderson will not only play Brett Sterling today, but he is playing him on the top line with Kovalchuk and Williams. He has 20 minutes of ice time all season and he's still managed to score a goal. After leading the team in preseason goals, it is high time Sterling got a shot. A real shot, not time on a line with Thorburn and Slater.

Cory Perry managed to get five points last night without Getzlaf getting more than one. Found that interesting.

 

Yann Danis will get the start today – I picked him up in one of my keeper leagues yesterday to replace Pascal Leclaire as my No.3 goalie.

 

St. Louis has sent Marek Schwarz to Peoria and recalled Chris Holt.

 

Dan Ellis will get the start today for Nashville, who are going for a team record 10th straight game with three goals scored or more.

 

Rich Peverley will get back in the Preds lineup, but at who's expense – I don't know. Fiddler is a candidate.

 

Martin Erat missed practice with a back strain, so although they say he will play today – they always say that.

 

Brendan Shanahan is reportedly not considering Nashville as a destination.

 

Not only is Andy McDonald on fire offensively, but he is absolutely killing in leagues that count faceoff wins – his 64.3% leads the NHL.

 

Still no word on Sidney Crosby's status for today. The Pens had yesterday off.

 

Notch, our main man for picking Saturday's winners and giving great analysis, has decided that he can't swing it anymore timewise. If you can do similar analysis and are interested in joining the DobberHockey team, click here and leave a note.
