Now that the Stanley Cup banner has been raised and Canadian icon Joe Sakic has his number retired in the Pepsi Center in Colorado, we can concentrate on what has already transpired in the first 2 days of hockey.
Andrei Markov (D) – MON – A lacerated tendon has sidelined the All-star defenceman for 3-4 months. Markov came into contact with Carey Price’s skate and immediately limped off the ice. This is a devastating injury for the Canadiens and will be in tough to replace the leadership and points from Markov. Look for Spacek and Hamrlik to get added powerplay time. The Habs have also called up young offensive d-man Yannick Weber. Put a claim in on him as he will get plenty of PP time.
Craig Anderson (G) – COL – The new number one in Colorado came up big on Joe Sakic night. Stopping 38 out of 40 shots, Anderson looked unstoppable as the game wore on. If Anderson is available in your league take a long look at him. He will get a lot of shots each night and will have to be at the top of his game to get wins on the young Avalanche team.
Brooks Laich (C) – WAS – Scoring 2 points and 1 assist and lining up with the top gunners (AO and Backstrom) on the powerplay, Laich seized his opportunity. If he is available in you league, snatch him up on the waiver wire. He may not always play on the top line, but he will provide enough offense to garner a spot on your bench as a depth player.
Tomas Vokoun (G) – FLA – The veteran goalie was the catalyst for the Panthers as he saw 55 shots on goal and stopped 52 of them. A talented goaltender, Vokoun is the undeniable number one guy in Florida. He will see a lot of shots this season and will either be the hero or the goat. See if there are other goaltending options in your league as Vokoun should lose more than he wins.
Ray Emery (G) – PHI – His first full season game back in the league since he bolted for Russia. In what appeared to be an easy game for the Flyers, Emery stopped all 27 shots. The Flyers are hoping for Emery to be a stable and consistent goaltender this year and their success rests on it.
Brandon Dubinsky (C) – NYR – The newly re-signed centerman has some veteran wingers to help elevate his game. Lining up with Gaborik and Prospal, Dubinsky is the top center in New York and should get points playing with Gabby. If he is available in your league grab him on the waiver wire and hold onto hi until Gaborik gets hurt.
