Jonathan Quick, NYR at NYI (49% rostered)
I think we'd have a minor controversy if Quick started the Stadium Series -- see what happened in Vancouver when the Canucks benched Roberto Luongo for the Heritage Classic in 2014 -- and this felt more like a possibility a week ago. Igor Shesterkin is slated to start and he's won two straight games, including a shutout win against the Flames. If Quick starts, I like the Rangers' chances, who've always fared well in the outdoor games. The Isles seem to be still adjusting under Patrick Roy while the Rangers are trending up.
Karel Vejmelka, ARI at COL (26% rostered)
The Coyotes play back-to-back Sunday and Monday, but I suspect Connor Ingram will get the start with Vejmelka getting a break after allowing five goals in his most recent start. The Coyotes have not been good at all in the second half of the season, and neither Ingram nor Vejmelka are recommended.
