Viktor Fasth News

Viktor Fasth getting the start for Ducks against San Jose.

This will be Fasth's first start in 10 days because of a lower-body injury he suffered last week. In his last start he posted a 29 save shutout vs. Calgary. He will be between the pipes tonight vs. a Sharks team that have lost five of their last six games.

#NHLDucks G Viktor Fasth is on the ice this morning and is probably "very close" to being ready to return, Coach Bruce Boudreau said.

This is good news for the Ducks. Fasth's injury is not serious and he won't miss too much time. Hiller will likely start tonight because of Fasth's injury but he should be back in the crease soon.

#NHLDucks G Viktor Fasth (upper body) is in the building, but not on the ice for practice.

Fasth missed yesterday's start because of an upper-body injury that he suffered earlier in the day. There is no word on what the injury is or how long it will keep him out. In the mean-time Jonas Hiller will likely get all the starts until Fasth is ready to return. A more accurate assessment of the injury should be available soon.

Fasth will start tonight for the Ducks.

Fasth's last start came 6 days ago so he should be well rested tonight when the Ducks take on the Flames. Fasth has now lost two of his last three starts while posting a 2.95 GAA and .890 SV%. Fasth will look to get back in the win column tonight, but if he is going to do that he will need to outplay Miikka Kiprusoff.

Fasth will start tonight for the Ducks.

Jonas Hiller played last night so it will be Fasth between the pipes tonight for Anaheim. Fasth got back in the win column Wednesday against Nashville after suffering his first loss earlier in the week. Fasth has had a very successful first 10 games of his NHL career. He is 9-1-0 with a 1.92 GAA and .926 SV%. He has a good matchup tonight vs. Phoenix.

No skate this morning in Glendale. Would have to guess that it'll be Viktor Fasth in for Ducks tonight.

Fasth got back in the win column Wednesday against Nashville after suffering his first loss earlier in the week. There was no morning skate in Anaheim this morning so this is all speculation at this point but it is likely Fasth after HIller played yesterday. Fasth has had a very successful first 10 games of his NHL career. He is 9-1-0 with a 1.92 GAA and .926 SV%. He has a good matchup tonight vs. Phoenix.

Viktor Fasth the first goalie off the ice at #NHLDucks morning skate.

Fasth finally lost his first game of the season after starting 8-0-0. He gave up four goals on 24 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Kings. He has already faced Nashville on two ocasions this season and won both in a shootout. He will likely face Pekka Rinne so he will have to play well if he is going to earn the win.

As you would figure, Viktor Fasth will go for the Ducks tonight against LA.

As many will joke about it will be Fasth vs. Quick tonight when the Ducks take on the Kings. Fasth is still undefeated at 8-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .933 SV% this season. He has had a perfect start to his NHL career and is a must-start in all daily leagues whenever he gets the nod.

Bruce Boudreau would only say that both Viktor Fasth and Jonas Hiller will play with five games in seven days this week but we'll guess that Fasth (8-0-0, 1.78 GAA, .933 SV%) will get the nod tonight as he hasn't played since Feb. 16 at Nashville.

Fasth still has not lost this season. He is 8-0-0 with 1.78 GAA and .933 SV% and is a must-start in formats. He has a good matchup tonight vs. the Avalanche.

Viktor Fasth
Viktor Fasth will start tonight and likely tomorrow as well.

Jonas Hiller is improving but still isn't ready to go yet so the Ducks will continue to run with Fasth. He will start both games today vs. the Red Wings and tomorrow vs. Nashville. If Fasth continues to play well in these next two starts the starting job is likely his. He is 6-0-0 with a 1.74 GAA and .933 SV%, if he is available in your league he would be a good pickup.

Fasth will be back in net as Jonas Hiller continues to recover from a lower-body injury suffered Friday in Dallas.

Fasth has been excellent early in his NHL career. The 30 year-old netminder is 5-0-0 with a 1.72 GAA and .932 SV% which is considerably better than Hiller this season. If Fasth continues to play well he will likely start to see more starts than Hiller. The Ducks are one of the hottest teams in the league right now, but have a tough test tonight against the NHL's best Chicago Blackhawks.

Viktor Fasth is expected to get the start in goal;

Hiller was pulled after sustaining a lower back injury last night but is expected to still back up Fasth. Fasth has been the top goalie controversy this season going 4-0-0 with a 1.06 GAA and .957 SV% - you could do worse.

Viktor Fasth
Viktor Fasth off the ice first. Will start tonight for the Ducks.

Fasth will get his 4th start of the year tonight. In his first 3 starts he has recorded wins in all of them with a 1.30 GAA and a .946 SV%. This is a pretty good start to his NHL career, and he should continue to see starts as long as he is playing well and Hiller is struggling.

Viktor Fasth
Looking like Viktor Fasth against San Jose. Gets the nod over Jonas Hiller for third NHL start.

Fasth (2-0-0, 1.44 GAA, .938 SV%) has outplayed Hiller (3-1-1, 3.54 GAA, .871 Sv%) mightily so far this season. If Fasth continues to play well he could start eating into Hiller's starts. However he has a tough matchup against San Jose.
