News: Luongo (rib) made his return to the lineup on Tuesday night against the Blues, replacing Andrew Raycroft who was pulled in the first period. [+]
Impact: Luongo was expected to rest against St. Louis and start on Thursday against Detroit, but a first period outburst by the Blues on Tuesday ended that plan. It may be a good idea to keep him reserved against a tough opponent in the Red Wings, but as long as he can get on the ice, it's awful hard to keep him benched. ( RotoWire - Tue. Nov 10, 2009) |
News: Raycroft was pulled on Tuesday night against the Blues after allowing four goals on 13 shots. [+]
Impact: Roberto Luongo (who was the backup on Tuesday) was due to start on Thursday anyway, so even if Raycroft played well against St. Louis, he was headed right back to the bench. ( RotoWire - Tue. Nov 10, 2009) | |
