Daily Fantasy Hockey Goalie Rankings: December 16th

We have a great night of hockey ahead of us. 11 games on the schedule and thankfully, for fantasy purposes, the majority of goalies are confirmed, except for the usual suspects (LA / BOS). For the most part, the number-1’s are getting the starts tonight, which is beauty because no one is really looking for spot-starts on Tuesday.

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

Here are my rankings for all of the Likely or Confirmed goalies in the order of who I think will be the best Fantasy starts tonight. Rankings will be based off of matchups, recent performance, injuries etc. and follow standard fantasy stats: Wins, GAA, SV%, SO.

This is a useful tool to help you decide which goalies to play on a given night. If you have three goalies and they are ranked below at 3, 5 and 9 then you play the ones ranked #3 and #5. However, remember to be careful starting goalies who are Likely over ones who are Confirmed. While Likely starter’s usually start, it is not confirmed for a reason!

Good Luck!

Unconfirmed

Tampa Bay Lightning – Evgeni Nabokov / Andrei Vasilevskiy – Coach Jon Cooper said that his starter would be a game-time decision. Originally it was believed that Nabokov would get the call, but since Cooper didn’t come out and say that, you have to think that it will be Vasilevskiy, who has been on fire in the AHL.
