Daily Fantasy Hockey Goalie Rankings: December 15th

There are 11 games across the NHL tonight with four teams playing on back-to-backs. The back-to-backs and injuries across the NHL mean there are a wide variety of different goalies starting in goal tonight—from No. 1’s, to backups, to recent AHL callups.

The Daily Goalie Rankings includes DraftKings salaries as well as my top ‘Good Value’ and ‘Bad Value‘ one-day Fantasy Hockey goalie starts.

If you’ve never played DraftKings, you can SIGN UP HERE

Rankings are based off of matchups, recent performance, injuries etc. and follow standard fantasy stats: Wins, GAA, SV%, SO.

Unconfirmed

Carolina Hurricanes – Eddie Lack / Cam Ward – Lack has won back-to-back games and head coach Bill Peters usually goes with the goalie coming off of a win, but there have been some reports, not from Carolina sources, suggesting it will be Ward. As of now, there is no concrete confirmation.

Columbus Blue Jackets – Curtis McElhinney / Joonas Korpisalo – The Blue Jackets are one of four teams on a back-to-back. Korpisalo played well in his NHL debut last night, but head coach John Tortorella will not announce a starting goalie until he meets with the media around 6:30 PM ET.
