Bryzgalov Gets the Start as Flyers Face Predators in Nashville
When Flyers' head coach Peter Laviolette chose to stick with "back-up" goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky by giving him the start on Thursday against the New York Islanders, a goalie controversy seemed immanent.

Then he missed a few games with a concussion and lost his momentum. I am now picking Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins as the top defenceman so far this year.
Chara won the 2009 Norris Trophy and...
