News: Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 26 of the 28 shots he faced, but his offense failed to show up in a 3-0 loss to the Bruins. [+]
Impact: The loss was Fleury's fifth of the season, and the rock-solid netminder is now 10-5 on the year. He has struggled a bit lately though. After winning his first eight decisions he's just 2-5 since. Expect that to change in the near future due to a talented team around him. ( Fanball - Tue. Nov 10, 2009) |

News: Nick Foligno blasted a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers at ScotiaBank Place. [+]
Impact: Foligno snapped a four-game skid without any points, and collected his fourth goal of the season. Foligno is a future star, but is not yet productive enough to employ in fantasy lineups. ( Fanball - Tue. Nov 10, 2009) |
News: Cheechoo scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's shootout win over the Oilers. [+]
Impact: It only took 15 games. It's pretty hard to believe this is the same guy who scored 56 goals just four seasons ago. Cheechoo is only 29 years old, but it clearly seems he is on the downside of his career. ( RotoWire - Tue. Nov 10, 2009) | |
