Anderson allowed four goals on 30 shots in the 4-1 loss in Game 1. He will be under siege all series and will need to play outstanding if the Sens are going to have a chance.
No surprise here, but Tomas Vokoun confirms he's starting Game 2 tonight.
Vokoun continued his strong post-season with a 35 save performance in Game 1. The only goal he allowed was a jam play early in the first period, but he bounced back and shut the door on the Senators. Vokoun has posted a 1.28 GAA and .962 SV% in three starts.
The Sharks were all over the Kings in Game 1 but still lost. Niemi allowed two goals on 20 shots in the 2-0 loss. They will need Niemi to steal a few games in this series because Jonathan Quick already stole one for the Kings.
Quick continued his stellar play from round one in Game 1 against the Sharks. He stopped all 35 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win. He now has a 1.36 GAA and .953 SV% in seven starts in the post-season.
With Seidenberg, Ference, and Redden out; Torey Krug will play in Game 1.
Krug posted 13 goals and 32 assists (45 points) in 63 games in the AHL with the Providence Bruins. He only appeared in one game with Boston this season, in which he had one assist.
With Seidenberg, Ference, and Redden out; Matt Bartowski will play in Game 1.
Bartowski scored a big goal and played 24:51 in Game 7 vs. the Maple Leafs. He will likely have to play big minutes again tonight with the Bruins missing some key defensemen.
Seidenberg suffered a leg injury in the Bruins Game 7 win over the Maple Leafs. He only played 37 seconds and did not return. He will be out tonight along with Ference and Redden.
