Fleury to Start Opener - Staal Makes Team

Michel Therrien has announced that Marc-Andre Fleury has made the opening night roster and will start the Thursday night against Philadelphia. The team will go with 3 goaltenders for the short term, with Jocelyn Thibault and Danny Sabourin competing for playing time behind Fleury.

The team also announced that Jordan Staal and Kristopher LeTang have made the team. They will each have to work out contracts before 5:00pm today or be sent back to their respective junior teams. It is being speculated that Staal has already agreed to a contract that has not been announced yet.

The final players sent to Wilkes Barre Scranton are as follows: Dan Carcillo, Libor Pivko, Ryan Stone, Max Talbot, and Noah Welch. Stone and Carcillo were thought to have the best chance of making the team, but the acquisition of Karl Stewart made them expendable.
