UPDATE: Daily Fantasy Hockey Goalie Rankings: January 17th

With a couple of teams playing in the second night of a back-to-back set, we are left with four teams who have not announced a starting goalie yet. At the bottom of the article you can find a breakdown of each of those four teams and when you can expect them to announce their starter.

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

Unconfirmed

Nashville Predators – Carter Hutton / Marek Mazanec – Hutton stopped 31 of 34 shots in the Predators win over the Capitals last night. Given the volume of shots that he faced and the fact that he has barely started two games in the same week let alone two in two nights this season, I expect Mazanec to get the nod. They could announce their starter when they get to the rink at 5 PM ET, if not we will have to wait until 6:30 PM ET when warmups start.

Boston Bruins – Tuukka Rask / Niklas Svedberg – The Bruins had an optional morning skate and Rask did not take part, which suggests that he will start tonight. He is coming off of a 30-save shutout on Thursday and the Bruins are off on Sunday so it should be Rask. We will have to wait until warmups at 6:30 PM ET to confirm.
