The Penguins have surprisingly stumbled out of the gate. Vokoun saved all 7 shots that he faced in relief of Fleury last game and will get the call tonight. It doesn't get get any easier for the Penguins tonight as they take on the Rangers.

Vokoun get the win in his first start of the season, and will get his second of year tonight against Winnipeg. It appears like Vokoun and Fleury might split starts this season, at least that is the way it's going so far. In daily leagues it would be a good idea to get both of them on your roster.

Vokoun gets the backend of the B2B. He should get plenty of playing time this season.

No surprise here but Vokoun could become an useful backup play.

The NHL In 30 continues with the NY Rangers! A small taste of what to expect in the NHL In 30 Series... Marc-Andre Fleury is just a perfect match for the Penguins, giving them steady and consistent performances in net while their opponents worry more about how to stop Crosby and Malkin than trying to score for themselves. Management made an interesting move in the off-season bringing in veteran Tomas Vokoun to backup Fleury. Curious move all around but perhaps Vokoun saw this as a last chance for a cup. Or perhaps Fleury is hiding an injury? Probably not, but this does looks suspicious. Either way, the Pens are fine in the crease. read more

TRADE ALERT: G TOMAS VOKOUN TO THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS FOR A SEVENTH-ROUND PICK AND SIGNED TO A TWO-YEAR/$4 MILLION CONTRACT EXTENSION ANALYSIS Not the best news for Vokoun fantasy owners, considering that incumbent Penguin goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is signed through 2014-15 and should be entrenched as the starter entering next season. However, keep in mind that Vokoun represents an upgrade in the crease over back-ups Brent Johnson or Brad Thiessen, meaning Fleury better pick up his game or risk losing his starting job. Funny enough, Vokoun might have an easier time supplanting Fleury than Washington's emerging phenom Braden Holtby. In all probability though, the Czech netminder will be riding the bench more often than not, minimizing his fantasy value for 2012-13.

The Penguins needed some stability in goal following Fleury's poor play but we're currently unsure of how the goaltending situation in Pittsburgh will look in the upcoming season. At the very least, Vokoun can provide solid backup play and help reduce Fleury's workload.

Vokoun is still not ready to return.

Vokoun stepping on the ice is just the first step towards his recovery. However, it doesn't sound like the 35-year-old is progressing as quickly as he had hoped.

Vokoun continues to progress but remains behind schedule to return during round one.
