—
Rookie Simeon Varlamov will get the start in net tonight against St. Louis and winger Eric Fehr will also return to the lineup, which makes Alexandre Giroux the odd man out. More to come. Update: After stopping 32 of 33 shots in his NHL debut against the Canadiens this past Saturday, Varlamov "deserves another chance," Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He played very well in Montreal and we want to see if it was a fluke." *Brent Johnson will serve as Varlamov's backup and took full part in this morning's ...
