Morrison and Sarich may sit.
Sarich has one assist through 12 games this season. Although he has 23 PIM so far, he won't be too much of a help in fantasy hockey leagues.
Cory Sarich donned a regular practice jersey for the first time this morning, as he was a full participant in the skate. He won't play tonight, and may not play any preseason action either, but it's very likely he'll start the season. That's a good thing in my eyes, as Sarich is still an NHL defender, and can give you some value on your third pairing
Sarich paired with Mark Giordano last season and was expected to help round out the top-four this season. He scored four goals and 17 points last season in 76 games. Look for him to post similar numbers, if healthy, which makes him irrelevant in fantasy hockey terms.
"He's actually been cleared to practice now," Feaster told me. "We'll take the Tour de France jersey off of him and he can get back in and start going full contact."
