Ryan Miller gets his net afterall. Just a little cloak and daggery by Ron Rolston.
Miller led his team onto the ice, therefore, he is your starter.
Ville Leino was missing from warm-ups. He left the ice early in the third period in Saturday night's shootout loss to the Capitals. He returned to the ice at the end of regulation after leaving with an abdominal/torso ailment.

Leino has been listed as "day-to-day" with an upper body injury
Leino scored his first two goals of the season on Saturday night.

What the Hell are the referees Tom Kowal and Brian Pochmara thinking aclling Steve Ott for an Unsportsmanlike/Embellishment penalty? Chara, a frequent offender of questionable/dirty hits, clearly freight rained Ott with this cross check. The guy is 6'9 275 pounds for crying out loud. Of course his intent was to bury Ott's face into the glass.
Thanks, @almelo95
Chara received a minor x-check while Ott went to the room for repairs on his knee. Pat Kaleta served his "penalty".
Speaking of Kaleta, what makes Chara's hit an different than the illegal hit that Kaleta used to bury Brad Richards with? Kaleta received a 5, 10 and a game, and was give an league-mandated five game suspension. Kaleta forefeited $76,000 in salary as well.
On Saturday 3/30, Chris Kunitz of the Penguins was given a boarding major for this disgusting hit on Josh Bailey of the Islanders.
I dare you to tell me why all three are not suspendable offenses.
Hitting an opponent from behind is a dangerous and destructive act. Why do some officials choose to turn a blind eye to it while others are calling the rules to the letter of the law?
