Scrivens first goalie off of the ice at Oilers morning skate.

Scrivens allowed six goals on 29 shots in the Oilers loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday. He has been dreadful in three starts this season, losing all three starts with a 5.21 GAA and .800 SV%. He might turn it around at some point, but he cannot be trusted in your fantasy lineup right now.

Scrivens starts for the Oilers on Wednesday.

Scrivens was always scheduled to get tonight's game, but with VIktor Fasth getting injured last night is was inevitable. After replacing Fasth last night, Scrivens stopped 12 of 15 shots as the Oilers were smashed 6-1 by the Kings. Tonight he will face the 1-1-0 Coyotes, but with how depleted the Oilers roster is right now, Scrivens is a risky start--especially on the back-to-back.

Scrivens will start opening night for the Oilers.

After being traded to the Oilers last season, Scrivens went 9-11-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .916 SV%. To no one's surprise, life in Edmonton is much more difficult than in Los Angeles and he sits without a Stanley Cup ring on his finger. Now with Edmonton for a full season, he will start the first game of the year against a Flames team that he had a .857 SV% against last year.

Scrivens surrendered five goals on 32 shots in a 5-0 blowout loss to the Rangers on Sunday. He has lost four of his last five with an ugly 4.13 GAA and .887 SV%. He was just shelled by the Sharks last week, so I would bank on that being more likely to happen than another 59-save shutout.

Scrivens gets the call on Sunday.

Scrivens allowed three goals on 51 shots in a win over the Ducks. After losing three in a row, Scrivens dazzled with a nice win against Anaheim on Friday. Scrivens is seeing an average of 37.33 shots per game. When your seeing that many shots per night, it is difficult to have a lot of success.

Scrivens will be in goal for the Oilers Friday.

Scrivens surrendered five goals on 34 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Sharks on Tuesday. Well it was tough to expect him to repeat that 59-save shutout from the first time he faced San Jose, but five goals against will do some damage to your GAA. He has lost three in a row while giving up 11 goals and tonight faces a tough Ducks team.

The last time Scrivens faced the Sharks, he stopped all 59 shots (not a typo) he faced in a 3-0 win.
