"I feel pretty good, not 100 percent, but I'm getting there," Niittymaki said. Our View:Until he is back to 100 percent, J.S. Aubin will back up starter Martin Biron. he does not have any fantasy value. |
|
September 15, 2008 Antero Niittymaki will likely miss 4-6 weeks due to hip surgery, according to Hockey Buzz. Our View:While he certainly wasn't much more than an average tender last season (12-9-2, 2.91 GAA), the Flyers don't have another experienced goalie in camp to backup unquestioned starter Martin Biron meaning they could be looking to add some depth just in case Antero doesn't return as quickly as hoped. |
