[Woodhouse]

Quick notes: Johnson and Rinne both started Friday, so I've pencilled in Ullmark and Huttton respectively, but that's unconfirmed .. Bourque (UBI) left Nashville's game on Friday and his status is unknown, so you may see a recall there, someone like Arvidsson, if they need cover with Gaustad and Salomaki also banged up .. we won't know until later if Larsson draws back in tonight after being benched and then a healthy scratch.

I wonder if Chad earned himself another start. He played pretty well last night.

 

[Zip15]

I expect this to be a sloppy game. Both are playing their second game in as many nights, third in four nights, fourth in six nights, and fifth in eight nights - this is even the sixth game in nine nights for Nashville.

I wonder if Chad earned himself another start. He played pretty well last night.

Probably not on the second of a B2B, especially considering he finished the Nashville game on Wednesday night.

 

[Soundgarden]

Hey guys, Viktor Avridsson and goalie Jusse Saros were called up today for us. Don't know what that means for our goalie situation.

Saros is the player that the Preds drafted with the pick Buffalo added to Gaustad to get Nashviile's 1st rounder.

[StlSwedes]

Larsson scratched? 10-2 NSH then.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

That Saros has the makings of an outstanding goalie so far

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Larsson is so much better than Schaller....

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Larsson is so much better than Schaller....

True. Not even close.

 

[B U F F A L O]

That Saros has the makings of an outstanding goalie so far

That's who they drafted with the 2013 4th round pick we sent along with Gaustad a few years back

 

[Onslow]

Larsson is so much better than Schaller....

Yep.

I thought Schaller had an ok game last night though. He wasn't a train wreck like the last time he played.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Chad in again.....oooook dan....is he also one of those coaches that says if their team wins nothing changes?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Sabre the Win]

Chad in again.....oooook dan....is he also one of those coaches that says if their team wins nothing changes?

Chad played good against Carolina and he came in against Nashville and held them scoreless so why wouldn't you roll with the hot hand? especially when Nashville has Ullmark's number. Its not like hes been overplayed recently

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Chad in again.....oooook dan....is he also one of those coaches that says if their team wins nothing changes?

No, Bylsma has made changes to the lineup after a win before. I'm pretty sure he's even said that a win won't keep him from making changes...

Johnson played really well last game, and Ullmark was somewhat shaky in his last start (against Nashville I believe). So I'm sure that's why CJ is in net.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

It seems like they play well when they play really heavy lately. Larsson is obviously the better player between him and Schaller but Larsson hasn't been bringing the heavy game lately. That's probably why he's sitting? On the positive side, we know Larsson has that ability, so I think he's just being taught a lesson here.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[joshjull]

Something from earlier today before the starter was known. Chad's had a nice little run lately.

[CrazyPsycho]

Not a good feeling about this one at all. Prove me wrong ROR
