Carlos Delfino, who might have been on the verge of losing his starting gig to Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, had a season-high 21 points to go along with four boards, six assists, a steal and four 3-pointers on 7-of-15 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Nets.
Mbah a Moute was out with a foot injury and Delfino looked great tonight, despite still being bothered by a stomach bug. He may keep his starting job after this one, and is worth a watchful eye going forward. He's starting at small forward, meaning he could continue to hold the job when Michael Redd returns, as he'll play shooting guard over Charlie Bell.
Chris Douglas-Roberts set a career high for the second straight game with 31 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a 3-pointer on 9-of-20 shooting as the Nets lost another game Wednesday to fall to 0-12 on the year.
He hit 12-of-14 free throws and if you happened to throw him in your lineup this week, he is giving owners a very pleasant surprise. Hopefully he can keep it up next week after Devin Harris returns from a groin injury.
Jon Quick stopped 17 of 20 shots in Los Angeles' 3-2 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night.
Even with the loss Quick has picked up 12 wins so far this season for the Kings, which is more than half of what he totaled last season over 41 games. The Milford, Connecticut native should not be taken lightly by fantasy owners who are looking for a goalie, if he is still available- grab him.
Brian Boucher stopped all but two of the 39 shots the LA Kings could fire at him, in the Flyers 3-2 victory Wednesday night.
It was Boucher's second start of the season, he is now 1-1. The Flyers number one goalie Ray Emery was given the night off because it was a back-to-back game for Philly. Fantasy owners don't look to much into Boucher's impressive performance as Emery will still see most of the games
Jarret Stoll had a goal and an assist in LA's 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night.
Drew Doughty had the other Kings' marker. Justin Williams, Dustin Brown and Scott Parse picked up helpers on the night. The Kings fall to an impressive 13-9-2 on the season.
James van Riemsdyk potted the winning goal for the Flyers, in their 3-2 win over Los Angeles Wednesday night.
Mika Pyorala scored his first NHL goal. Mike Richards buried his ninth of the season. Brayden Coburn led all Flyers with two assists on the night and trailed only Chris Pronger with 22:45 minutes of ice time in the victory.
NFL.com's Vic Carucci reports that the Bills will meet with former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan next week.
Carucci confirms that Shanahan is Buffalo's "No. 1" head coaching target. The meeting will involve owner Ralph Wilson and COO/GM Russ Brandon, who Shanahan would probably give a pink slip to if he's hired. It's well known that Shanahan wants full control of football operations, even if taking on such responsibilities didn't work out towards the end of his Broncos stint. Wilson is reportedly willing to offer The Mastermind any amount of salary to take the job.
