Of course this doesn't rule out a trade of any of the three goaltenders prior to the deadline. Lehner has been fantastic in 8 starts for the Sens this season (2.05 GAA and .940 sv%).
Lehner stopped 27 of 29 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Bruins on Thursday. He will start Saturday vs. the Lightning. It is a decent matchup for Lehner. If he is available in your league he could be worth a pick-up the way he has been playing (1.92 GAA, .941 SV% in March).
Lehner has played very well since being called-up to the Senators. He has yet to lose in regulation going 2-0-4 in six starts. He has posted a superb 1.90 GAA and .946 SV% thus far. He will face the Bruins tomorrow for the third time. In his two previous starts he was 0-0-2 with a 1.87 GAA and .951 SV%.
Both teams are playing the second of B2B games.
Lehner has seen a lot of rubber in his four starts, but has only managed to win one game despite putting up great numbers (1.89 GAA and .947 SV%). He has a tough matchup tonight against the Habs who sit atop the Eastern Conference.
Ben Bishop was reported to get the start yesterday but Lehner was the first goalie off of the ice this morning, indicating he will get the start. We will consider the likely starter for now and wait for confirmation later in the day. Lehner has seen a lot of rubber in his four starts, but has only managed to win one game despite putting up great numbers (1.89 GAA and .947 SV%).
A quick confirmation that Lehner will be in net to start tonight vs. the Bruins.
MacLean has not indicated who the starter will be tonight but after Bishop's struggles the last time out, anticipation is that Lehner will get a look vs. the Bruins.
Lehner will get his third start of the season.
Lehner played great in his first start this season stopping 44 of 46 shots that he faced in 2-1 overtime loss. He has a great matchup vs. the Islanders today, and should make for a great spot start.
Lehner was 18-10-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .938 SV% in the AHL this season and is 4-6-0 in his NHL career. This will be Lehner's first start this season and the matchup can't get any harder for the 21 year old. Ottawa takes on Tuukka Rask and the Bruins who are 12-2-2 this season. However Lehner did post a 32-save shutout vs. Boston last season.
With Craig Anderson going down with an ankle injury the Senators have recalled Lehner. He is 18-10-2 in the AHL this season with a 2.12 GAA and .938 SV%.
Lehner had a nice run but will return to the minors for more seasoning. After winning his first three decisions of the season, the rookie lost consecutive games, allowing four goals on 28 shots during his last appearance.
Lehner faces the Panthers for the first time in his career.
Lehner faces the Blackhawks for the first time in his career.
Lehner lost his only career start against the Bruins, allowing four goals on 33 shots.
In two career appearances against the Isles, Lehner has a 1-1-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and .896 SV%.
In two career appearances against the Isles, Lehner has a 1-1-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and .896 SV%.
With Anderson out, Lehner should be recalled. In fact, the young Swede likely sees a good deal of action should Andy miss significant playing time.
Doesn't sound like Lehner is an option for the Sens. In 23 games in the AHL, he has a gaudy 3.27 GAA and .907 SV%.
