I. Samsonov - G

WSH

Former Washington goaltender Olie Kolzig said that Ilya Samsonov has plenty of upside and has the ability to be just like Andrei Vasilevskiy.

That's heady praise from the Capitals professional development coach as Vasilevskiy is widely considered to be the best goaltender in the NHL. Kolzig also thinks that the addition of Henrik Lundqvist to the mix will be a valuable learning tool for Samsonov. "[Samsonov's] still a young guy and he's going to have some rough patches," Kolzig said, "So you need that veteran guy that's going to be able to get in there and do the job because we are still a competitive team that still have aspirations of winning another Stanley Cup and you don't want to sacrifice that with having the growth of a young goaltender." Look for Samsonov to garner 60-65 percent of the starts for the Capitals this season. He should be a bottom-end first goaltender or a top of the line second netminder on your fantasy team and he will make a great pick in dynasty pools if he is still available.

C. Fowler - D

ANA

Cam Fowler has become one of the veteran leaders on the Anaheim Ducks.

"I think that's been something that has kind of evolved over the last few years," Fowler said. "Being here for 11 years now, I think I have a good understanding of my role, what the coaches want from me, what management wants for me and try and help out the new faces as best I can. I just want to try and bring some consistency back there on and off the ice and help those guys with whatever they need." He hasn't picked up a point in three games this season.

R. Lehner - G

Robin Lehner was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate ahead of Wednesday's game against Arizona.

Typically that would put him in line to play tonight, but coach Peter DeBoer has been waiting until the pregame warmups to reveal the team's starting goaltender this season. Another wrinkle added to the situation is that this is the first morning skate that Lehner has been on the ice for this season. Lehner has a 2-0-0 record this campaign with a 2.01 GAA and .926 SV%.
