Minnesota Wild coach stated earlier today that tough guy Matt Kassian
will not dress unless Colorado dresses forward Patrick Bourdleau. As it stands
it’s 50/50 whether the Av’s dress Bourdleau or Mark Oliver as the 12th forward
for the season opener. If Kassian comes into the line-up look for either Darrell
Powe or Torey Mitchell to sit out. It would be a forgone conclusion Kassian will
not dress against Dallas.
Todd Bertuzzi (FLU) did not travel with the Detroit Red Wings on their
two game road trip.
Newly signed defenseman Wade Redden will not be ready in the opener for
the St.Louis Blues against the Wings for Saturday.
All signs point towards David Steckel being the 13th forward for the
Toronto Maple Leafs vs the Habs on Saturday. Montreal is scheduled to sit out
Brendan Gallagher & Michael Blunden.
The Ottawa Senators will have three goaltenders with them when they
travel to Winnipeg. How long they do this remains to be seen, very likely Robin
Lehner will be sent to the AHL. Kaspars Daugavins will be a healthy scratch for
the Sens.
Danny Briere will be out of the opening night roster for the Flyers;
meaning either Jody Shelley or Tom Sestito will be in against the Penguins.
