Goalie Rankings 

Streaming Targets 🎯

Antti Raanta (CAR) – vs. WPG (37% Owned)

With Frederik Andersen still sidelined, Raanta will start for the second straight game as the Carolina Hurricanes take on the struggling Winnipeg Jets. Raanta has left something to be desired in recent weeks, posting a 3-2-2 record and an uncharacteristically low .898 SV%. The Jets have lost three straight games (0-3-0) and have been held to one goal or fewer in two of those contests.

Jonathan Quick (LAK) – vs. CHI (44% Owned)

The Los Angeles Kings are in the midst of a crucial season-ending run as they try to secure a playoff spot and have made it clear that Quick is the goalie they trust to get them there. The veteran goalie has started four straight games and, despite getting pulled in a contest against the Colorado Avalanche, has played well, posting a 3-0-0 with a .915 SV%. Quick saved 18 of 20 shots in a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks last week and will look to build off that performance on Thursday.

Casey DeSmith (PIT) – vs. BOS (21% Owned)

Unfortunately for the Pittsburgh Penguins, it appears as though Tristan Jarry will not be returning to the lineup any time soon as he continues to recover from a lower-body injury. Fortunately for fantasy owners in desperate need of goalie starts, DeSmith is widely available and should see almost every start the rest of the way. DeSmith has played very well since late January and has recorded a .922 SV% in 13 appearances (5-2-4). Tonight DeSmith will face a Boston Bruins team that has failed to score more than two goals in five of their last six games (3-3-0).
