Submitted by Hockeyinformer on January 14, 2008 - 12:26am.Note: The notes on this page are normally compiled from various sources, including local newspapers, radio stations and game recaps. However, at times, we are forced to make educated guesses so nothing here is reputed to be completely accurate. We invite our readers to send info to updates (at) hockeyinformer.com if you hear anything first hand. We also love to hear any comments (good or bad) or suggestions that you may have. Also note, we update this page several times a day up until 15 minutes before the opening faceoff, so please keep checking back for any possible starting goalie changes or adjustments.
Notes: Martin Biron needs to have a strong game with Antero Niittymaki making a serious case for starts as of late .. Brent Johnson should be active today as Olaf Kolzig's backup and we anticipate that Johnson will see action in the next set of back-to-back games .. Niklas Backstrom is still the #1 goalie in Minnesota and is undefeated against the Coyotes, but it would be a shock if Josh Harding isn't in net today after an outstanding game on Friday .. Going out on a limb to predict Chris Mason back in net in the second half of back-to-back games .. Dwayne Roloson is still a serviceable goalie, but the Oilers have pretty much handed the reigns to Mathieu Garon.
