PLAYER NEWS

Flyers Daniel Briere (PHI - C) News: Daniel Briere had a big night in Monday's 5-4 loss at Colorado, as he racked up two goals and two assists.  [+] Impact: Briere scored in three of his last four games, with three goals and three assists over the span. The 32-year-old vet should remain a solid fantasy center, as long as he can avoid the injury bug. (Fanball - Tue. Nov 24, 2009) Jeff Carter (PHI - C) News: Jeff Carter blasted a pair of goals in Monday's 5-4 loss at Philadelphia.  [+] Impact: Carter snapped a four-game skid without lighting the lamp, and now has nine goals for the season. Hopefully fantasy owners won't have to wait long for his next one. (Fanball - Tue. Nov 24, 2009) Jeff Carter (PHI - Center) News: Carter scored twice in a 5-4 loss at Colorado Monday. [+] Impact: Carter had been off the score sheet for the past four games until Monday's two-goal performance. His 21 points in 21 games is nothing to sneeze at and he now has nine goals on the year. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)

Sabres Derek Roy (BUF - Center) News: It looks like Roy will be on the top line again, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: Roy's season -- 16 points in 20 games -- has been a bit of a disappointment, but he's starting to score with some regularity and centering Thomas Vanek is the best place to be on this team. It looks like the productive Jason Pominville will be the right wing on that top line. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Mike Grier (BUF - Right Wing) News: Grier (groin) was trading spots with Adam Mair on the third line in practice on Monday, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: This is a promising development for Grier who has been limited in practice over the past week. Consider him questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Patrick Kaleta (BUF) News: Kaleta was not on the ice for practice on Monday, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: There is still no information why Kaleta was absent from practice, but there is speculation that Coach Lindy Ruff may be mixing up his lines after three consecutive losses in the past week. Nathan Paetsch replaced Kaleta on the fourth line in practice. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)
