Goalies
Joseph Woll, TOR vs. CBJ (53% rostered)
Woll won’t be a streaming option for much longer as he should be rostered in most standard leagues. With Anthony Stolarz on IR, Woll should get the bulk of the starts and he’s already looking quite solid. He allowed an even-strength goal 1:50 into the game against the Blues but didn’t allow another one after that in a 3-2 win. The Jackets have struggled to score consistently over the last little while, scoring more than two goals just twice in their past five games.
Akira Schmid, VGK at UTA (45% rostered)
With Vegas starting Schmid in three of their past four games, including two straight wins, it looks like Schmid is pulling away from Carl Lindbom and gaining a bigger share of the starts. If Lindbom gets this start, he’s a viable streaming option, too, but Schmid is the safer option. Utah is having trouble scoring despite a talented offense, scoring no more than three goals in all but one game this month.
Kevin Lankinen, VAN vs. DAL (19% rostered)
We’re not necessarily looking for a win here, though it could happen because the Canucks have been pretty erratic this season. What Lankinen can do, however, is pile up the saves, and he’s faced at least 32 shots in four of his past six games. Though he’s getting shelled, Lankinen is still putting up a decent .890 SP this season. Remember, save percentages have been trending lower over the past few seasons, so relatively speaking Lankinen’s save percentage isn’t as horrible as it may look. You’re looking for 30-plus saves and with an outside chance of a win in this streaming option.
Charlie Lindgren, WSH at MTL (10% rostered)
Lindgren allowed just one goal on 31 shots (.968 SP) against the Kings and will be back in net in the second game of a back-to-back. It was Lindgren’s best start since his season debut, and this is a potentially great matchup to earn a win with the Habs mired in a slump with six losses in their past seven games. There should be a little extra motivation facing his former team, and he’s 3-1-0 with a 2.51 GAA I his career against them.
