DAILY PRIME TODAY: BRYZGALOV IS BACK, ANDERSON STRUGGLES AGAIN AND ... primepucks.com Fri 11/29/13 7:52 AM

Quiet night yesterday in the NHL as there were only two games played.  A lot of players have gone down with injuries as Nashville defenseman Shea Weber left last night's game with a UBI. He got hit with the puck in his face.  Not sure how long he might be out, but it should not be too long.  Toronto forward Joffrey Lupul is out with a groin strain, while promising young Calgary forward Sean Monahan will be out a while with a hairline fracture in his foot. We are very high on Monahan's potential.  The big news yesterday was the return of Oilers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov with a shutout for Edmonton against the admittedly offensively challenged Nashville Predators. I will Have a Romie Hits The Post piece later today on Bryzgalov and how we view him. I don't know about you all, but I have no interest in shopping today, and I intend to stay home and watch the Rangers/Bruins game, and hopefully come up with some good insights, especially about the Rangers trouble with scoring goals. Anderson shoots the pooch:  Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson is having just a brutal season. His record is 6-8-2, but his metrics are just terrible at 3.51 goals against and a .894 save percentage. Last night he gave up 4 goals on only 15 shots before being replaced by Robin Lehner. You have to consider Lehner as the Senators' starting goalie at this point as his save percentage at 2.38 is more than a goal per game less than Anderson.  Hard to understand what is happening to Anderson, as last year, for example, he went 12-9-2 with a 1.69 goals against and a .941 save percentage.  Right now he can't stop a basketball.  The Sedin twins each had 2 points for Vancouver, and they continue to be point per game players.  Nice game for Roberto Luongo in goal for Vancouver with the win and 33 saves. Bryzgalov arrives:  Well he came back from obscurity with a big bang as he shutout the Predators with 33 saves.  Edmonton may be the right place for him with all their good young talent, and a small market media.  He clearly was out of his element in the media crazy city of Philadelphia.  We shall see, but Devan Dubnyk's future in Edmonton is very much in doubt now. Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall each had a goal and an assist last night for the Oilers. While we are high on Eberle, Hall has 19 points in 19 games played, and we view him as a future superstar.  Nashville's young goaltender Marek Mazanec took the loss, but he played well allowing only 2 goals on 27 shots. His 2.02 goals against and .934 save percentage are outstanding.  Expect him to get most of the starts while Pekka Rinne is out.
