Nabokov has played better than his numbers would indicate, his D in front of him isn't the strongest so he is bound to see a lot of shots. However he still has 4 wins in 7 starts and will look to add to that tonight. It won't be easy though as the Islanders take on the Penguins.
Bryzgalov is 3-5-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 SV% are his best numbers he's had since joining the Flyers. He is good fantasy option however because he starts almost every game and should start to pick up wins. However he has a tough matchup tonight against the high-scoring Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Capitals goal crease is in shambles right now. Neither starter is playing well and it's a guessing game at who is going to start each game. Neuvirth gets the call tonight and will take on Toronto. In his last start he faced Toronto as well, where he stopped 37 of 40 shots he faced in a 3-2 loss.
Mason got his first win in his last start where he played very well vs. the Red Wings. It looks like the Blue Jackets coaching staff is rewarding his good performance with another start. However he has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Kings.
Varlamov is 3-4-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .919 SV% so far this season. The Avs are banged up at forward and are having a hard time finding the back of the net. The Avs and Stars are very similar teams so it's a good matchup both ways.
Ward has had a terrible start to the season. Ward only has 1 win on the season with a 4.04 GAA and .867 SV%. He played well against the Flyers after Dan Ellis was pulled. Ward has a good matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs but he might need to earn some trust back before you play him
Crawford has been stellar so far this season (5-0-2, 1.66 GAA, .934 SV%). He will have a difficult matchup going up against the NHL's best team, the San Jose Sharks. It would be tough to bench Crawford at this point but it might be a good idea vs. the Sharks.
Roy missed the Stars last 5 games but will return tonight. Roy picked 2 assists in his first 4 games as a Star. He will play alongside Loui Eriksson and Tomas Vincour. The Stars need Roy and his line mates to produce as they have struggled to score on a consistent basis.
Anderson saved 30 of 32 shots he faced yesterday against the Habs in a losing effort. Anderson's great season continues though as he has a 1.12 GAA and .964 SV%, and has a fairly good matchup tomorrow against the Sabres, as long as they can stop Vanek.
Brodeur has lost his last 3 starts giving up a combined 14 goals in those 3 contests. Brodeur's hot start to the season has really slowed down. Brodeur is still a solid #2 fantasy goalie option. He has a tough matchup tomorrow against the Rangers.
Fowler was hit hard in the Ducks last contest. He is a great offensive defenceman and this is a big blow to the Ducks. According to Bourdreau Fowler shouldn't be out long which is a positive.
Greiss had a shutout in his first start this season. He doesn't have very much fantasy value due to the limited amount of starts he is expected to get. However the way the Sharks have been playing he could be worth a spot start tonight.
Ward has had a terrible start to the season. Ward only has 1 win on the season with a 4.04 GAA and .867 SV%. He played well against the Flyers after Dan Ellis was pulled. Ward has a good matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs but he might need to earn some trust back before you play him
Powe isn't fantasy relevant.
Rupp isn't fantasy relevant.
Potter will replace the struggling Whitney on the point, but it remains to be seen who will take his slot on the second PP unit.
This is Smith's 3rd start in 4 days after missing time with an injury. Fatigue could be an issue. The Wild have managed 20 goals in 8 games this season.
Dubnyk is on a hot streak and has already put in a solid effort against Vancouver this year. His .925 SV% ranks 6th among goalies with at least 5 starts.
Fasth (2-0-0, 1.44 GAA, .938 SV%) has outplayed Hiller (3-1-1, 3.54 GAA, .871 Sv%) mightily so far this season. If Fasth continues to play well he could start eating into Hiller's starts. However he has a tough matchup against San Jose.
This will be Howard's 9th straight start. With Jonas Gustavsson out with an injury the Red WIngs have had to lean on Howard heavily. Howard has a good matchup against Calgary tomorrow. He is a good play.
