Antoine Bibeau
G - Ottawa Senators
Next Game
Eligibility
Antoine Bibeau was the winning tender on Saturday night, backstopping the Avalanche to a 5-4 OT victory. He stopped 28 of the 32 shots he faced.
Fantasy Impact
Bibeau looked sharp in this one and was rewarded with one in the win column. The third and fourth goals were fortunate for the Canucks as they were both on a Vancouver empty-net man advantage. The third, Matt Calvert was completely out of the play due to taking a shot off the head and bleeding on the ice. The fourth was a renegade puck bouncing around in the air that landed in Brock Boeser's lap which he put in. Regardless, 27 seconds into OT Nathan Mackinnon sent the Vancouver staff back home to Granville with a loss, giving Bibeau his first win.
Bibeau saved 26 of the 28 shots he faced in a 3-1 loss. This was his NHL debut.
Fantasy Impact
He is a former 2013 sixth round pick so it is hard to predict whether he will develop into a solid option some day or not.
