Jose Theodore wants to re-sign with the Florida Panthers.
He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer if a deal cannot be reached with the Panthers. "I feel I got a big role with this team and like what we started here when I signed," Theodore said. "I never accept a backup role, but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen." If Florida intends to use Jacob Markstrom as their starter next year, as it is expected they will, then it might be best for them to part ways with Theodore and use Scott Clemmmensen, who has one year remaining on his deal with the club, as his backup. Theodore finished the season on the sidelines with a groin injury that kept him on the shelf since the beginning of March.

Jose Theodore (groin) worked out Tuesday on the ice before his teammates practiced.
He has been sidelined since March 2 after he tore two groin muscles at Carolina and it doesn't look like he'll play again this season.

Jose Theodore (groin) won't return this season, according to RDS' Renaud Lavoie.
Theodore had hoped to get in a game or two in the final week of the season, but is still not 100% recovered from a groin injury sustained on March 2. He will finish the season with a 4-6-3 record, 3.29 goals-against average and .893 save percentage. The 36-year-old is in the final year of a two-year, $3 million deal.

Jose Theodore (groin) is still hoping to play this season.
Theodore was on the ice on Monday for the first time since he sustained the ailment. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but is interested in signing a contract extension with the Panthers.

Jose Theodore will be sidelined for five-to-six weeks with a torn groin, according to his agent Don Meehan.
Theodore told Meehan that the injury won't require surgery, but given that timeline he may not play again this season. He has one remaining on his contract and Meehan said that he still "wants to play and compete" even though it isn't expected to be with the Panthers.

Florida assistant GM Mike Santos decided not to comment on a report that said Jose Theodore has a potential season-ending groin injury.
"We have no information to release on any of the injuries yet - most importantly because they haven't even seen our doctors. We got in at 2 [Sunday] morning," Santos said. With Theodore out of the lineup, the Panthers have summoned Jacob Markstrom from the minors again.

Jose Theodore has been diagnosed with a torn right groin muscle, forcing him to consider what would be season-ending surgery.
If his season really is over, then it creates an interesting situation for the Florida Panthers. Will more experienced goalie Scott Clemmensen get a bunch of starts or will they roll with prospect Jacob Markstrom? Some also wonder if this breathes life back into Roberto Luongo trade rumors.

It looks like Jose Theodore could be out for a while after sustaining a lower body injury in Saturday's contest.
Theodore was seen walking without crutches but with a serious limp after Saturday's contest. Coach Dineen said ''Theodore would be out for some time and that Markstrom would be headed to South Florida.'' We will update Theodore's status when we know more on the exact nature of the injury.

Jose Theodore sustained a lower body injury on Saturday.
Theodore left the contest after stopping just one shot. The Panthers don't expect him to return before the conclusion of their contest against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jose Theodore should be in goal against the Hurricanes Saturday night.
Adjust your goaltending rotation accordingly.

Kevin Dineen acknowledged that he might not be able to give his goalies the benefit of the doubt with all of them struggling right now.
It's the goalie carousel in Florida. Thursday night, Scott Clemmensen gave up three goals on 10 shots in 16:46 before being yanked for Jose Theodore, who went 15-for-15. The goaltending is the team's major Achilles heel and is why it's giving youngster Jacob Markstrom a shot, too. "I've always had a long leash with my goalies,'' Dineen said. "They understand the game and when to step it up. But that's not happening right now.''

Jose Theodore is expected to start in net Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Panthers recently sent Jacob Markstrom back to the AHL, leaving the Panthers' goaltending duties to the uninspiring duo of Theodore and Scott Clemmensen. Theodore entered the season as the starter but has done little to keep it, posting a 4-6-2 record to go with a 3.37 GAA and.893 save percentage. Fantasy owners should steer clear of the Panthers' goalies if at all possible.

Jose Theodore is slated to get the nod for Florida on Thursday versus Philadelphia, according to the Miami Herald.
Scott Clemmesen will back him up and Jacob Markstrom, who was called up Wednesday from the minors, will be a healthy scratch. Markstrom is being projected to play Friday against Pittsburgh though.

Jose Theodore kicked out 30 of 33 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday night.
Theodore should continue getting the majority of the playing time going forward in this 48-game shortened season, however the team's struggles will limit his value. He's 4-6-2 on the season.

Jose Theodore kicked out 30 of 36 shots in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday afternoon.
Theodore allowed two goals in each of the first and third periods. When Tampa Bay is performing at their best, their offense is overwhelming, so we wouldn't read too much into this rough start.

Look for Jose Theodore to get the start Saturday afternoon against Tampa.
He played very well stopping 32 shots in a 1-0 overtime loss to Montreal on Thursday night and surely will get the chance to start against state rival Tampa.

Jose Theodore allowed only one goal on 32 shots Thursday, but was saddled with a loss in a 1-0 overtime defeat to the Canadiens.
Given how much the veteran netminder has struggled this season it's unfortunate that such a strong effort didn't result in a victory. He should continue getting the majority of the playing time going forward, however the team's struggles will limit his value.

Jose Theodore allowed five goals on 21 shots against the Washington Capitals before being replaced by Scott Clemmensen midway through the third period.
The Caps had been struggling to score goals entering tonight and Theodore was coming off his best start of the season, all of which makes the poor effort look even worse. On the season, Theodore is now 4-5-0 with an ugly .890 save percentage and an even worse 3.41 GAA. Clemmensen stopped all four shots he faced after entering the game and it's fair to wonder whether he'll start to see more starts.

Coming off his best start of the season Thursday against the Flyers, Jose Theodore will get the call against the Capitals Saturday night.
The Caps are struggling and it will be interesting to see if Theo can keep them in that state.

Jose Theodore was Thursday's top star -- and coach Kevin Dineen recognized his efforts that aided the 3-2 shootout win.
Theodore made 30 saves in all, with five each in the third and overtime frames, the latter of which the Panthers got no shots. He also stopped both shots in the shootout. "He just decides that he's going to stand up and be a difference-maker," Dineen said. "He did a heck of a job. The overtime as well as the shootout, that was a big-league game by a starting goaltender." While Theodore has a 4-4-0 record, his 3.11 goals-against average and .902 save percentage don't point to a goalie you want to rely on in fantasy leagues.

Jose Theodore defended 30 Philadelphia shots in regulation and overtime, while stopping two more in the shootout, for his third straight win on Thursday night.
Theodore was very good against the Flyers and his recent hot streak has brought his record back to 4-4-0 on the season.

Jose Theodore is now on a two-game winning streak as the Florida Panthers beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Sunday.
Theodore wasn't exactly dominant (three goals allowed on just 20 shots), but at least he got the W. He has a decent chance to be an under-the-radar starter like he was last season if Florida continues to improve after an unsettling start to the season.

Jose Theodore stopped 22 of 25 Winnipeg shots in a 6-3 Florida win Thursday.
Theodore is now 2-4 for the struggling Panthers this season. His GAA of 3.39 and save percentage of .901 leave a lot to be desired and with Jakub Markstrom getting close to becoming an NHL ready goalie, Theodore's fantasy value could take a hit.

Jose Theodore allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-2 drubbing at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Theodore enjoyed a successful season last year, but his supporting cast is letting him down, thereby reducing his value in fantasy leagues. A 1-4-0 record just won't get it done.

Jose Theodore will get the start Tuesday night against the Lightning.
Theodore hasn't exactly been lights out this season, as evidenced by his 3.02 GAA and .919 save percentage, but continues to get starts because Scott Clemmensen hasn't been much better. Theodore and Clemmensen combined to allow seven goals Saturday against the Flyers, with Theodore lasting only one period before getting pulled.

The Panthers goalies had a pathetic showing in the 7-1 loss to the Flyers on Saturday night, combining to make only 19 saves.
Jose Theodore lasted one period because he gave up three goals on nine shots. Scott Clemmensen was better, but only by comparison, as he gave up four on 17 shots on net. Florida has lost four in a row, and it has combined to give up 18 goals while scoring just three times in that span.

Jose Theodore stopped 34 of 36 shots, but failed to earn a victory as the Panthers were upended by Ottawa by a score of 3-1.
Theodore has now endured just one rough outing sandwiched between two impressive ones, but he has only one victory to show for it. Despite the presence of Scott Clemmensen on the roster and youngster Jakub Markstrom in the minors, Theo should garner the most playing time this season.

Jose Theodore will be looking for a bounce-back performance versus the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.
He allowed four goals on 37 shots in a 4-0 loss to Ottawa on Monday after he started the 2013 campaign with a gem of a game against Carolina when he stopped 41 shots in a 5-1 victory.

Jose Theodore allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Panthers' 4-0 loss to the Senators Monday night in Kanata.
Theodore's numbers weren't spectacular from a fantasy perspective last season, but his 22-16-11 record, 2.46 goals-against-average and .917 save percentage were serviceable statistics for depth purposes on most teams. He should be owned as a second or third goaltender in most leagues. Scott Clemmensen should get the start Tuesday night at the Bell Centre in a pretty good matchup against the lowly Canadiens.

Jose Theodore will start in Monday's game against Ottawa on Monday.
Theodore got off to a great start by saving 41 shots in Saturday's 5-1 victory. He's a pretty safe bet to maintain his starting gig this season unless the Florida Panthers make a trade.

Jose Theodore kicked out 41 of 42 shots in a 5-1 loss Saturday night.
Theodore faced at least 12 shots in each period of this contest. He had a 2.46 GAA and .917 save percentage in 53 games last season.

Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen were very good in Wednesday's scrimmage.
"I was really happy with the goaltending," coach Kevin Dineen said. "There were some quality scoring chances that the goalies had to make big saves on. They both look like they are ready to go. We accomplished everything we wanted." Both netminders stopped every shot they faced during the 40-minute tuneup match, although they were beaten in shootout attempts that come at the end of each regular period. Theodore said the contest was "fun" and that he was using it, along with everything else as a "building process" for the season.
