Ben Scrivens News

Scrivens starts on Thursday.

Scrivens gave up four goals on 41 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Bruins on Monday. In 15 starts with the Kings, Scrivens saw an average of 29.2 shots per game, in Edmonton he has faced 39 per game in his first five starts. It doesn't look like the Oilers are going to ratchet down their D anytime soon, so expect Scrivens to continue to see a ton of rubber, making him a risk play on most nights.

No surprise at all, but Scrivens will start on Saturday.

Scrivens posted a ridiculous 59-save shutout in a 3-0 win over the Sharks on Wednesday. It was his second straight win as an Oiler, stopping 93 of the last 94 shots he has faced (.989 SV%). He will look to push his winning-streak to three when he faced the 34-16-3 Bruins.

Scrivens starts, straight from the coach's Twitter.

Scrivens stopped 34 of 35 shots in a 5-1 win over the Predators on Sunday. It was his first win as an Oiler and he will look for number-2 tonight vs. San Jose. In his only other start vs. San Jose this season (with L.A) he stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss.

Scrivens gets the start for the Oilers.

Scrivens allowed two goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks. It was a much better start than his first as an Oiler. Tonight he takes on the Predators who have won four our of their last six games while outscoring their opposition 22-16.

Scrivens will make his second Oilers start tonight.

Scrivens allowed four goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Wild in his Oilers debut on Thursday. It was the first time all season that he has allowed more than three goals which further proves the point, things are going to be much more difficult in Edmonton. His matchup could be worse, the Canucks have only scored four goals in their last four games and will be without Henrik Sedin and head coach John Tortorella.

Scrivens will start for the Oilers tonight.

Scrivens will make his Oilers debut tonight after being acquired on Wednesday. Scrivens was 7-5-3 with a 1.97 GAA and .931 SV% with the Kings, but things are not going to be as easy in Edmonton. He has a good opportunity to uproot Ilya Bryzgalov as the Oilers' starter and that begins with a tough challenge vs. the Wild tonight.

The Oilers have acquired goaltender Ben Scrivens from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a third-round pick.

The Oilers shipped Devan Dubnyk out of town this afternoon and brought in Scrivens to compete with Ilya Bryzgalov for the starting gig. He is 7-5-4 with a 1.97 GAA and .931 SV% this season, but will find it a lot harder to play behind the Oilers than the Kings. However this helps his fantasy value as he could potentially start 25 games the remainder of the season if he can surpass Bryzgalov as the number-1.

Scrivens leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Scrivens allowed three goals on 31 shots in a loss to the Predators on Saturday. He will get the nod tonight in the second game of a back-to-back for the Kings. He will face the Stars in Dallas tonight, he is 5-3-2 with a 1.75 GAA and .944 SV% on the road.

Scrivens leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Scrivens stopped 37 of 40 shots in a loss to the Blackhawks on December 15. It appears he will get the nod tonight with the Kings in Nashville. Despite holding a 1.66 GAA and .941 SV% he has been pushed into a back-up role with the emergence of Martin Jones. He would make for a solid spot-start against a Preds team who have lost five straight.

Scrivens leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Scrivens has not started since December 2 following the emergence on Martin Jones. He will get the call tonight in the second game of a back-to-back. It must be tough for Scrivens to sit after he went 6-1-3 with a 1.47 GAA and .947 SV% after Jonathan Quick got injured. He draws a tough matchup against the Blackhawks' top ranked offence and 5th ranked power-play.

Scrivens leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Scrivens stopped 25 of 27 shots in a win over the Blues on Monday. He was given his first break on Tuesday after making 10 straight starts, but he will be back in the cage tonight. He will take on an Islanders team who have not won since November 16 , which is eight straight losses - he should make for a great start.

Ben Scrivens and Martin Jones left the ice at roughly the same time following the team’s morning skate on Saturday, so there will be no firm projection of tonight’s starting goaltender. Because the team does not announce its starter in advance, we’ll learn who will be in goal tonight by the goalie leading the team onto the ice for warm-ups.

As expected, Scrivens goes for the Kings.

Scrivens allowed two goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Flames on Saturday. He misplayed the puck behind the net leading to a Calgary goal, but other than that one play he has been exceptional. He has not allowed more than two goals in a start since taking over for Jonathan Quick. This is no longer just a hot-streak, Scrivens is legit and is expected to start every game until Christmas, which makes him even more valuable.

Scrivens vs. Niemi.

Scrivens allowed two goals on 39 shots in a win over the Canucks on Monday. It was his fifth win in eight starts since becoming the starter. He currently leads the NHL in GAA (1.44) and SV% (.947). Scrivens has a tough matchup on the road vs. the Sharks tonight.

Scrivens gets the call for the Kings.

Scrivens allowed a single tally on 33 shots in a tough overtime loss on Saturday night. It was his second straight loss, but he continues to play great. The Kings should get Jeff Carter back tonight which should help spark their offence. He has a tough matchup on the road vs. Vancouver tonight.

Scrivens gets the start for the Kings.

Scrivens was not very busy on Thursday. The Devils only threw 15 shots at him, he stopped 13 of them in the overtime loss. The loss snapped a four game winning streak, but he will look to get back in the win column tonight vs. Colorado.
