October 8th – Fantasy Hockey Goalie Rankings

From now on during the busy nights in the NHL (8 or more games) I will be ranking that days starters by which ones I think will be the best starts. I noticed a lot of comments asking should I start (GOALIE A), (GOALIE B) or (GOALIE C), this will be a tool to help you make those decisions. Expect this article to come out later in the afternoon (EST) when the majority of the goalies are confirmed. Keep in mind anything can happen on any given night, so these rankings are not fool proof. Good Luck to all fantasy-goers tonight!
