Goalie Start
Dubnyk is projected to start vs. the Jets.
Dubnyk allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Wild’s win in Chicago on Wednesday. Dubnyk started the second leg of their back-to-back to start the week but look for him to get the crease in the front-end this time around. Dubnyk has won six of his last seven starts and is 10-2-2 with a 2.17 GAA and .932 SV% on home-ice this season.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Saturday vs. the Oilers.
Fleury allowed one goal on 29 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Rangers last Sunday. Fleury has been outstanding for the Golden Knights this season, winning nine of his 12 appearances with a 1.73 GAA, .945 SV% and two shutouts. He has a nice matchup against a struggling Oilers team who come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.

Goalie Start
Subban was the first goalie off of the ice at the Golden Knights morning skate.
Subban allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Golden Knights win in Chicago on January 5th. Marc-Andre Fleury has started three of their last four games but after their bye week it seems like an odd choice to go to Subban tonight. Regardless, Subban has been excellent this season and has not lost a start since November 30th, winning seven consecutive games while posting a 2.50 GAA and .913 SV% in the process.
Goalie Start
Quick will start Saturday vs. the Ducks.
Quick allowed four goals on 20 shots in the Kings loss to the Predators last Saturday. Quick has lost four of his last six starts (2-3-1) with a 2.68 GAA, .915 SV% and one shutout. Despite some recent struggles, Quick has played very well against the Ducks this season, going 2-0-0 with a 1.87 GAA and .935 SV% in the first two meetings.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
