Ilya Bryzgalov News
Bryzgalov has alternated wins and losses in his last 6 games, he lost his last game... That means he is going to win this one right? He has a decent matchup as long as the Flyers can slow down the red hot John Tavares.
Bryzgalov has won 4 of his last 6 starts but his numbers haven't been that spectacular lately. In his last 3 starts he has 2 wins but has a 3.65 GAA and .877 SV%. He doesn't have a very good matchup tonight either as the Flyers take on the East's best team, Martin Brodeur and the Devils.
Bryzgalov got beat up by the Maple Leafs last night but will get the call again tonight against the Jets. The match-up vs the Jets is a favorable one.
Bryzgalov is 3-0-1 in his last 4 starts so there's no reason to not start him tonight against the Maple Leafs. Over that 4 game stretch he has saved 112 of 121 shots he faced. He has a solid matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs who have struggled on home ice. He has been hot lately so start him with confidence.
Bryz hasn't had much luck this season with a 4-5-1 record despite an efficient 2.20 GAA and .923 SV%.
Bryzgalov has been the lone bright spot for the Flyers this season. He is only 4-5-0 but his GAA (2.24) and SV% (.923) are great. It's tough to bench Bryz at this point because of those numbers, if the Flyers can start scoring he will become an even better fantasy option. He has a great matchup tonight vs. the Panthers.
Bryzgalov is 3-5-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 SV% are his best numbers he's had since joining the Flyers. He is good fantasy option however because he starts almost every game and should start to pick up wins. However he has a tough matchup tonight against the high-scoring Tampa Bay Lightning.
Bryzgalov is 2-5-0 with a 2.31 GAA and .918 SV% this season. Bryz has played well but can't get any goal support. The Flyers will find their way soon enough and Bryz should be just fine. He should be considered a high-end #2 fantasy option.
He has played well in the early part of the season but isn't getting any goal support. The Flyers have shuffled their lines up recently hoping that will spark some production. Bryz has a good matchup tonight against a struggling Caps team.
Bryzgalov and the Flyers have had two days off without a game so it will likely be Bryz they turn to tonight. He has played well in the early part of the season but isn't getting any goal support. The Flyers have shuffled their lines up recently hoping that will spark some production. Bryz has a good matchup tonight against a struggling Caps team.
Bryz got his first break this season and that didn't go very well for the Flyers as Michael Leighton got lit up for 5 goals. Going forward it looks like Bryz will continue to get the vast majority of the starts.
Bryz finally picked up his first win on the season against the Rangers on Thursday. The Flyers are banged up right now and need some big performances out of Bryzgalov, let's see if he's up to the test.
Two underperforming teams faceoff. Bryz looking for his first win.
Bryzgalov (0-2, 3.06 GAA, .909 SV%) has looked okay in his first two games but both resulted in losses for the Flyers. They have shuffled their lineup for tonight's game and look to get in the win column. Bryz will get his wins, fantasy owners shouldn't worry.
Bryz stopped 24 of 26 shots that he faced yesterday. More solid performances like that could earn Bryz close to 40 starts this season. He is a career 5-3 with a 2.84 GAA and .893 SV% against the Sabres.
Bryzgalov struggled at times last season and then again during the lockout in the KHL. He comes in this season with slightly lower expectations which may help him out. The Flyers should be a good team, and if Bryz can put it all together like he did in Phoenix he could be one of fantasy's top goalies.
No mention of taking Bryz out so expect to see him in net.
This leads to Bryz being your starter tonight.
As such, Bryz will start Game 2 for them.
