Cam Ward misses practice on Saturday
Cam Ward - G - Carolina Hurricanes
Sept. 18, 2011 - 8:00 AM ET

Cam Ward sat out the opening day of practice with "upper body stiffness".

There is nothing to worry about here as Ward will likely return by mid-week and be ready for the start of the season. Ward will play 65-70 games this season barring injury, leaving backup Brian Boucher to mop up the rest. Ward will get plenty of wins but his goals-against-average could remain over 2.50, lowering his fantasy value a bit if you use that category.
