Scrivens shutout Florida last night giving him shutouts in two straight games. He has played very well since becoming Toronto's #1 goalie when James Reimer went down with an injury. He will look to continue his shutout streak tonight vs. Tampa Bay.
Ben Scrivens News
Scrivens stopped all 34 shots he faced in his first career shutout on Saturday vs. Ottawa. He will be back in net tonight against a weak Florida team. The matchup should make for a good start.
With Reimer on the shelf Scrivens will get the majority of the starts going forward. He is 0-1-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .939 SV% since Reimer was injured. He has a pretty good matchup vs. the Senators as life without Erik Karlsson begins.
With James Reimer going down with a knee injury the starters job is all Scrivens'. Toronto comes in to tonight's game having won 4 straight and their last loss came against Carolina, their opponent tonight. Scrivens is 2-2-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .913 SV% this season and will likely see all the starts for the Leafs in the near future.
Reimer made 5 straight starts since Scrivens was pulled against the Islanders (Jan. 24). Reimer started last night against the Canes, so it was expected that Scrivens would get the start tonight. He needs to get back on track tonight vs. a struggling Capitals team.
Scrivens and the Maple Leafs are off to a good start this season. Scrivens (1-1, 1.53 GAA .929 SV%) sat last night while Reimer beat the Penguins. It looks like the goalie competition is bringing the best out of both goalies so far.
Scrivens won in his first action of the season, 2-1 over the Habs. If he can get a couple of more wins and possibly solidify the #1 position in Toronto he'd be much more fantasy worthy. Until then its hard to recommend him as a fantasy starter.
