In a surprising announcement, Sergei Bobrovsky will be the Philadelphia Flyers starting goaltender in the season-opener tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The 22-year-old Russian will make his NHL debut against a division rival opening a brand new arena, the Consol Energy Center. Welcome to the NHL.
Also, Chris Pronger will sit out tonight as he still tries to recover from off-season knee surgery. Pronger has practiced the past couple of days, but feels the knee is not up to full speed to compete at the highest level.
Notes: The Carolina Hurricanes have won the first game of the young season, beating the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in Helsinki, Finland.
