Jason LaBarbera stopped 21 of 25 shots as the Oilers won the Kings 5-4 after shootout Monday night. It was LaBarbera's first start as an Oiler and he immediately got his first win and it was also Oilers' first win of the season. LaBarbera's save percentage was only .840 and he gave up couple of easy goals. This performance won't give him the starting job from Devan Dubnyk, but the win was encouraging for LaBarbera.

The Edmonton Oilers are going to start Jason LaBarbera in net against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. Devan Dubnyk's suffered from an awfully rough first two games, losing both of them and allowing 10 goals on 49 shots (.831 save percentage and 6.52 GAA). It's hard to imagine LaBarbera stealing the starting job from Dubnyk, but the team might be forced into a tough decision if the big netminder doesn't turn it around.

Jason LaBarbera stopped all 12 shots he faced in the 3-2 split-squad win against the Flames. He gave way to Richard Bachman midway through the second period. LaBarbera is a decent back-up, but he isn't a netminder the Oilers want to rely on for more than 15-17 games. He had a 2.64 goals-against average and .923 save percentage last season with the Coyotes. Bachman made 11 saves on 12 shots.

The Edmonton Oilers have signed goaltender Jason LaBarbera to a one-year contract. He will back up Devan Dubnyk as of now. LaBarbera is an adequate backup and he will replace Nikolai Khabibulin who is now an unrestricted free agent. LaBarbera was 4-6-2 for the Coyotes last season with a 2.64 GAA and a nice .923 save percentage.

Jason LaBarbera made 43 saves on 46 shots in an excellent win over the Ducks to cap off the season. LaBarbera had to work hard for his wins this year. Only one of his four wins came when he faced less than 38 shots.

Jason LaBarbera made 37 saves in the Phoenix Coyotes 4-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks. LaBarbera faced 41 shots and made a good effort to keep the Coyotes in the game but the offense was no where to be found. He;s a half decent back up goalie but he isn't someone that should garner much fantasy attention.

Jason LaBarbera is dealing with an infected lymph node. Phoenix's back-up netminder woke up Friday night and couldn't swallow, and his neck is also swollen. "I've never had that before," LaBarbera said. "It was kind of a weird thing. It was a little freaky at first."

Jason LaBarbera was on fire on Tuesday night, turning aside 39 of 40 shots in Phoenix's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles. The win is just LaBarbera's second since taking over for the injured Mike Smith in mid-March. He's been fairly shaky in this period, but he was absolutely dominant in this contest. There's no word yet on whether Smith will return for the Coyotes' next game on Thursday against Detroit. Stay tuned for updates.

Jason LaBarbera will start in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. Mike Smith is still out with an upper body injury. LaBarbera has a 2.64 GAA and .918 save percentage in 12 games this season.

Jason LaBarbera picked up a tough loss Saturday night despite making 32 saves on 34 shots through regulation and overtime, then stopping two of three in the shootout. His counterpart Anti Niemi stopped all three Coyotes shooters in the extra frame, ultimately being the reason LaBarbera's fine start ended in his seventh loss in nine games this season. It's hard to see him as a fantasy asset considering the way the Coyotes are slumping right now.
