PLAYER NEWS

Flyers Ray Emery (PHI - G) News: Ray Emery only stopped 23-of-29 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss at San Jose.  [+] Impact: Emery gravely struggled in a tough road matchup tonight, but he allowed two or less goals in six of his previous seven outings - meaning he should be able to bounce back fine. (Fanball - Sat. Nov 21, 2009) Claude Giroux (PHI - RW) News: Claude Giroux was a standout for the Flyers in Friday's 6-3 loss at San Jose, as he racked up two goals and an assist. He took three shots on goal.  [+] Impact: Giroux scored in three straight games, with two goals and four assists over the span. The 21-year-old is already on his way to be becoming a star winger in the NHL, and his fantasy stock should continue to rise. (Fanball - Sat. Nov 21, 2009) Arron Asham (PHI - Right Wing) News: Asham (oblique) has resumed skating, the Philadephia Inquirer reports. [+] Impact: He's going to be out of the lineup for at least another week if the initial two-week estimate is accurate. With five points in 14 games, Asham probably isn't on many fantasy rosters anyway. (RotoWire - Fri. Nov 20, 2009)

Sabres Ryan Miller (BUF - G) News: Ryan Miller turned away 24-of-26 shots in tonight's 2-1 loss to Boston at HSBC Arena.  [+] Impact: Miller was forced to take a loss as his teammates could only slip one goal past opposing netminder Tuukka Rask. He has allowed two or less goals in four of his last five outings. (Fanball - Fri. Nov 20, 2009) Paul Gaustad (BUF - C) News: Paul Gaustad scored the Sabres' lone goal in Friday's 2-1 OT loss to the Bruins at HSBC Arena.  [+] Impact: The tough center lit the lamp in two of his last three games, and scored five goals for the season. He also has two assists and 31 penalty minutes over 17 games. (Fanball - Fri. Nov 20, 2009) Derek Roy (BUF - Center) News: Coach Lindy Ruff confirmed that Roy will suit up for Friday night's game against the Bruins, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: There was speculation that Roy may be nursing an injury after taking a "maintenance day" off from practice on Thursday, but it looks like he is good to go. Roy has been performing well in the month of November notching four goals and two assists in seven games. (RotoWire - Fri. Nov 20, 2009)
