It was originally believed that Stralman would replace Jeff Woywitka but the latter has been relatively serviceable. If you own Stralman, consider waiting for a few more games before inserting him into your lineup.
In two career starts against the Oilers, Rask holds a 2-0-0 record with a 1.00 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout.
As we previously explained, Stralman will not play for at least more one game as he acclimates to a completely new system. Once inserted look for him on the second PP unit.

Stralman probably gets into a game at some point next week after practicing and watching the team from the press box. He may add some value to the team's power play.
Stralman is unlikely to play this weekend and probably needs a few practices to adapt to a new system. No need to roster the power play specialist just yet.

After toiling on the third line for most of the season, Krejci moves back to the top line that helped carry the Bruins to the Stanley Cup. Despite scoring only one goal over his first six games this season, the Czech pivot posted 13 goals and 62 points over 75 games.
Looks like Krejci is back in the lineup and will play on the team's third line. Start him if you got him.
Certainly good news for the team's number one center. His participation in today's practice indicates he could return to the lineup tonight,
