Goalies

The DailyFaceoff Daily Goalie Rankings Tool was built to help you make difficult Fantasy Hockey goalie decisions. We take the guesswork out of picking your starters by ranking them on various factors, including opponent, sportsbook odds, team advanced metrics and goaltending talent. The goalies with the highest “Score” are the best goalies to start the night.

Streaming Targets (10/24/25)

Jake Allen (NJD vs. SJS) – 41% Rostered

Allen isn’t just the top streaming option—he grades out as the best goalie overall on Friday. He’s been excellent to start the year, going 3-0-0 with a 1.91 GAA and .931 SV% through four games. He faces a Sharks team on the second half of a back-to-back after snapping a 17-game losing streak last night. The Devils are massive -355 home favourites, and Allen owns the lowest implied goals against (2.4) on the slate.

Eric Comrie (WPG vs. CGY) – 9% Rostered

Comrie checks in as the No. 2 option tonight in a soft matchup with Calgary, who rank last in the NHL in goals per game (1.50). He was terrific in his season debut, stopping 33 of 35 shots in a win over the Islanders. Winnipeg enters as -131 home favourites on the second half of a back-to-back, and Comrie will look to improve to 2-0.

Jet Greaves (CBJ vs. WSH) – 38% Rostered

If Allen and Comrie are already rostered, Greaves is a solid fallback—especially if you’re only chasing a win and not splits. He’s posted strong individual numbers (2.04 GAA, .928 SV%) but sits 1-2-0 on the year as Columbus continues to struggle defensively. A matchup against Washington makes him a risky spot start, though he’s played well enough to warrant consideration.

Alex Lyon (BUF vs. TOR) – 29% Rostered

Lyon got a much-needed rest on Wednesday after starting Buffalo’s first six games. Despite a 2-4-0 record, he’s delivered quality stats (2.55 GAA, .924 SV%). The Sabres are slight +108 home underdogs against Toronto, but Lyon has fared well historically versus the Leafs—1-1-1 with a 2.06 GAA and .927 SV% in three career starts. Toronto has also dropped two straight and four of its last six, keeping Lyon in the streaming mix.
