Two good pieces of news for poolers tonight: Brock Faber finally makes his season debut for the Wild in Boston, and Anthony Stolarz is in net for the 
Maple Leafs against the 
Oilers for a second game in a row.
Faber back after a skull fracture
The Wild activated Brock Faber from injured reserve Saturday morning, and the defenceman will make his season debut tonight against the 
Bruins, at TD Garden. Faber has not played since a skull fracture suffered on September 25 in a preseason game against Dallas, when a deflected puck hit his helmet. He had surgery two days later and he missed the first 21 games of the season.
Faber, 24, had the best season of his career last year, with 15 goals and 51 points in 80 games, plus 4 goals and 10 points in 11 playoff games. The Wild, first in the West with 32 points, went 14-3-4 without him. It is not decided yet whether he will be paired with Quinn Hughes tonight. Joel Eriksson Ek will also be in the Wild lineup, after leaving Thursday's game in Toronto with an upper-body injury.
Stolarz in net again in Toronto
In Toronto, Anthony Stolarz will be in net against the Oilers tonight, at 7 p.m. It is the first time this season he plays two games in a row, and coach Jim Hiller confirmed the call. Stolarz has a 5-3-0 record, with a .900 save percentage and a 2.90 goals against average in 8 games this season.
His last outing, Thursday against Minnesota, was rough: 4 goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss. The Leafs, at 8-11-2, have lost five games in a row, and the Oilers come to Toronto with Connor McDavid, the NHL scoring leader with 49 points in 20 games. Chris Tanev, who missed the last game, is also back in the lineup tonight, according to the Leafs projected lineup. Sergei Bobrovsky will back him up.
What it means for your pool
If Faber is still free in your pool, now is the time to grab him: he is a top defenceman who plays more than 24 minutes a game when he is healthy. Stolarz is still Toronto's better goalie right now, but the test is a big one tonight against McDavid and the Oilers. With Tanev back, he is a useful defenceman in pools that count hits and blocked shots.
