Viktor Fasth News

Fasth who was lit up for five goals on 16 shots in the first 32 minutes and 42 seconds on Saturday probably is not going to get a chance to redeem himself this week. He was reportedly collided with Lander and appeared to hit his head or neck on the net. He looked won as he was helped to the dressing room, so the immediate assumption is that he suffered a concussion. The Oilers finally have two stable goaltenders and there own players ruin that. #mess.

Fasth stopped 28 of 29 shots in a win over the Predators on Tuesday. Since coming to the Oilers, Fasth has gone 2-0-1 with a 1.58 GAA and .940 SV%. He appears set to have another strong outing this evening in Calgary. The Flames, much like the Oilers are playing better hockey, but they are coming off of a loss to the Preds last night.

Fasth stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Red Wings on Friday. He has turned aside 40 of the 44 shots (.926 SV%) he has faced in his first two starts with the Oiler. He and Ben Scrivens have solidified the Oilers crease lately, but hinder each other's fantasy value due to the platoon. Tonight, e should make for a strong spot start vs. the Predators.

Fasth stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Wild in his Oilers debut on Tuesday. With Ben Scrivens facing 87 shots in his last two starts and allowing six goals last night, it will be Fasth tonight in Detroit.

Fasth stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Wild in his Oilers debut on Tuesday. With Ben Scrivens facing 87 shots in his last two starts and allowing six goals last night, it should be Fasth tonight in Detroit. The matchup is solid because of the injuries in Detroit, however they are a young lineup right now who can pose some problems for the Oilers.

Fasth will make his Oilers debut and his first start since November 18. He went 2-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .885 SV% in five starts with the Ducks before getting hurt. He also went 3-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .922 SV% in five AHL conditioning starts, so he should be 100 per cent tonight in Minnesota. It will be tougher sledding behind the Oilers than the Ducks, but expect Fasth to give Ben Scrivens a good-run for the number-1 job.

The emergence of Frederik Andersen allowed the Ducks to send Fasth to the Oilers for future assets. Fasth has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .885 SV% in an injury riddled season with the Ducks. After the Oilers started the season with Devan Dubnyk and Jason LaBarbera they now have Ben Scrivens and Fasth, which is a nice upgrade.

Fasth was injured in pre-game warmups on November 22nd and has not played since. Fasth started for Norfolk on the weekend, it was his first game action since November 18. With the emergence of Frederik Andersen in his absence, Fasth has become a potential trade target for teams who are in need of adding goaltending depth.

There is no word on who will start tomorrow against the Coyotes, but should Fasth miss an extended period time again, expect Frederik Andersen to be recalled from Norfolk. Expect an update on Saturday.

Fasth has been out since October 18 and has seen his replacement Frederik Andersen go 6-0-0 with a 1.41 GAA and .952 SV%.
