Line Change
Dries will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Dries has averaged just 6:19 TOI/GM in the first three games of the season, but will be a healthy scratch tomorrow. Vladislav Kamenev will replace him vs. the Sabres.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start Monday vs. the Red Wings.
Gibson stopped all 41 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Coyotes on Saturday. It was a terrible game for the Ducks, but Gibson absolutely stole two points for the road team. Gibson has been stellar to start the year, stopping 72 of 74 shots (.973 SV%) and is a must-start tonight vs. the Red Wings.
van Riemsdyk will miss 5-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start Saturday in Arizona.
Goalie Start
Talbot will start the Devils season opener against the Devils.
Talbot was excellent in 2017, but struggled to a 3.02 GAA and .908 SV% in 67 starts last year. Talbot is probably not as good as he was in 2017 or as bad as he was in 2018, making him a solid No.2 fantasy option. He is a decent option in Sweden as the Oilers take on the Devils.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start the Ducks season opener in San Jose.
Gibson has been the best goalie in the NHL over the last three years, posting the league’s best SV% (.924) and GAA (2.26) while ranking third for third in shutouts (14). The Ducks have a stout bluleine that makes things easy on Gibson and he could be the best goalie in fantasy this season if he is able to start 60-plus games again.
The Ducks signed John Gibson to an eight-year extension worth $51.2M ($6.4M AAV).
The Red Wings have signed Dylan Larkin to a five-year extension worth $30.5M ($6.1M AAV).
The Maple Leafs re-signed Justin Holl to a two-year deal worth $1.35M ($675M AAV).
Holl was a second round pick in 2010 and made it to the NHL briefly last season. The 26-year-old scored two goals in his only two games with the Maple Leafs, but spent most of the year with the Marlies (AHL), where he had seven goals and 21 assists (28 points) in 60 games. Holl is projected to be the Maple Leafs’ seventh defenseman this season.
The Flyers have signed James van Riemsdyk to a five-year, $35M ($7.0M AAV) contract.
van Riemsdyk was originally selected No.2 overall by the Flyers in 2007 and spent the first three years of his career in Philadelphia. van Riemsdyk has been one of the most consistent producers in the NHL in recent years, averaging 31 goals and 28 assists (59 points) per 82 games over the last five seasons. JVR is expected to skate on the Flyers’ second line with Nolan Patrick and Jakub Voracek.
The Senators select Jacob Bernard-Docker with the No.26 overall pick (acquired from New York).

Copp is out of the Jets lineup for Game 5.
Chiasson is expected to draw back into the Capitals lineup for Game 5.
Goalie Start
Gibson will likely start Game 4 in San Jose.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start Game 3 in San Jose.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start Game 2 vs. the Sharks.
Goalie Start
Gibson (upper-body) is expected to start Game 1 vs. the Sharks.
Gibson (upper-body) returned to practice on Monday but remains questionable for Game 1.
Gibson missed the last three games of the regular season, but practiced for the first time in more than a week on Monday. Gibson’s availability will be key to the Ducks’ first-round success, but Ryan Miller showed he is capable of holding things down if Gibson isn’t 100 percent for Game 1.
