Despite getting his brain rattled Saturday night, Brooks Orpik is expected to play, as is fellow defenseman Daryl Sydor. Sydor is coming off a groin injury, bringing him to partake in light skate sessions during practice.
Although Sabourin has been cleared from the stitches to the head, Coach Therrien has hinted Fleury will get the start in net tonight. Georges Laraque remains day to day with a sore groin, only skating 20 minutes in the most recent practice. Should Orpik or Sydor not be able to play, Alain Nasreddine will get his first start of the season. Nasreddine is coming off a conditioning assignment with the WBS club, where he tallied a point and a handful of penalty minutes.
That's it for now. Should anything change before faceoff I'll be on it.
