Goalies
Brandon Bussi, CAR vs. PHI (40% rostered) - DraftKings - $8,400
Bussi shoots for his ninth straight win Sunday against the Flyers. Philly is 6-3-1 in their last 10 contests, spurred by the performance of Dan Vladar between the pipes., but Carolina has been nearly as good in that stretch. Bussi has been stellar since his promotion, not losing a game since Oct. 25, and during his win streak he's posted a stellar 1.97 goals-against average (GAA) and .909 save percentage.
Filip Gustavsson, MIN vs. BOS (97% rostered) - DraftKings - $8,100
Sunday will see another match-up of two hot teams in Minnesota. The Wild are 7-2-1 in their last 10 contests while Boston is 7-3-0 in that stretch. Jesper Wallstedt picked up the win Saturday and hands the baton to Gustavsson, who has won five of his last seven outings, posting a 1.82 GAA and a .930 save percentage over that span. In addition, Minnesota will receive an emotional boost from Quinn Hughes, who plays his first game in the green and yellow following his Friday trade from Vancouver.
