Ilya Bryzgalov News

Bryzgalov has refused to report to Norfolk so the Ducks have placed him on unconditional waivers, which is the first step in terminating his contract.

Bryzgalov struggled big time with the Ducks, going 1-4-1 with a 4.19 GAA and .847 SV% in eight games. He heads to Norfolk where he went 1-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .915 SV% with during a conditioning stint earlier in the season.

Bryzgalov has had a terrible season with the Ducks, so he is expected to go to the AHL, but he may choose to not report and could retire. There is no official word as to what will happen at this time.

With John Gibson winning three of five during his call-up and Frederik Andersen set to return from injury, the Ducks have placed Bryzgalov on waivers in order to activate Andersen from IR. Having gone 1-4-1 with a 4.19 GAA and .847 SV%, we might have seen the last of Bryzgalov in the NHL.

Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Ducks loss in Washington on Friday. With Frederik Andersen out, Bryzgalov will start tonight. He comes into play with a 1-3-1 record, 3.95 GAA and .859 SV% this season. He has been especially bad on the road, going 0-2-1 with a 5.23 GAA and .837 SV%.

Bryzgalov allowed six goals on 25 shots in the Ducks loss to the Sharks last Saturday. He has struggled in 2014-15 going 1-3-0 with a 4.68 GAA and .832 SV%. He is a dangerous start vs. Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.

With Frederik Andersen making 44 saves last night and Philipp Grubauer potentially going for the Caps, we could see Bryzgalov in the Ducks crease for the sixth time this season.

Bryzgalov stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Ducks win over the Devils on January 16th. Since signing with the Ducks, he has gone 1-2-0 with a 3.70 GAA and .854 SV%. Tonight he will face the Sharks, which would leave Frederik Andersen for Friday vs. the Blackhawks.

Bryzgalov allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Ducks loss to the Rangers on last Wednesday. He is 0-2-0 with a 4.91 GAA and .836 SV% in three appearances with Anaheim this season. He draws a strong matchup vs. the Devils, but still needs to show improvement before he can be trusted in fantasy circles.

Bryzgalov allowed six goals on 31 shots in his first start with the Ducks back on December 19th. Overall he has allowed eight goals on 38 shots for a .790 SV%. He has had a lot of practice time since that start, so look for a sharper Ilya Bryzgalov tonight. However, he draws a tough matchup with the Rangers in town.

Bryzgalov allowed six goals on 31 shots in his first start with the Ducks back on December 19th. Overall he has allowed eight goals on 38 shots for a .790 SV%. It is a strange time to give Bryz a start considering the Ducks are off until Sunday after tonight, but either way it looks like he will face a Rangers team who have won 10 of their last 11.

Bryzgalov allowed two goals on seven shots in relief of Frederik Andersen on Tuesday. He will get his first start for the Ducks this season snapping Andersen’s streak of 20 straight starts. He has a solid matchup in Ottawa.

Bryzgalov went 1-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .915 SV% in his two game conditioning stint with Norfolk. With Bryzgalov being recalled, Jason LaBarbera has been placed on waivers. Bryzgalov could make his season debut on Tuesday in Toronto.

With John Gibson and Jason LaBarbera out with injuries, the Ducks have brought Bryzgalov back to play with Frederik Andersen. Bryzgalov will go to Norfolk (AHL) on a conditioning stint before joining the Ducks.

Bryzgalov was originally drafted by the Ducks back in 2000. He spent six an a half years in Anaheim before moving on to Phoenix, Phildelphia, Edmonton and Minnesota. Last year he went 12-9-8 with a 2.68 GAA and .909 SV%. He has been brought in because John Gibson is on IR likely until Christmas and Jason LaBarbera will miss 2-3 weeks with a broken bone in his hand.

Bryzgalov was brought in on a tryout when Darcy Kuemper was unsigned and Josh Harding was hurt. Now that Kuemper has signed, the Wild will enter the season with a goaltending tandem of Kuemper and Niklas Backstrom.

Josh Harding broke his foot on Wednesday and Darcy Kuemper remains unsigned so the WIld will bring Bryzgalov into training camp and give him a look after he went unsigned in free agency. Bryzgalov went 7-1-3 in 12 regular-season games last season with a 2.11 goals-against average. In the playoffs, he was 3-6 with a 2.63 GAA.

Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 28 shots in the 2-1 loss in game 5. The series now moves back to Minnesota for game 6, and the Wild have yet to lose on home ice in the playoffs. Bryzgalov has stopped 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) in his only two starts at Xcel Energy Center this postseason. He is expected to have Darcy Kuemper as his back-up tonight.
