(ranked by matchup)
Joel Hofer, STL vs. SEA (15% rostered)
Hofer's recent performances haven't inspired a lot of confidence. He's been a pretty good backup all season but this past three starts have been pretty subpar, allowing eight goals on just 64 shots (.875 SP).
The Blues definitely have the edge in this one and there's plenty of incentive for Hofer to finish the season with a bang. The Blues are 6-2-0 all-time against the Kraken and if I were to roll the dice with either goalie, I'd rather go with Hofer.
Connor Ingram, ARI at CGY (51% rostered)
Since March 1, the Coyotes are 12-9-0 and the Flames are 7-13-0, so make no mistake in thinking which team should be the favorite here. I'm willing to take a chance on Ingram here, and this might potentially be his last start of the season if the Coyotes maintain their current rotation.
The Flames have only a few players who can score while the Coyotes' offense has also really come alive. Jacob Markstrom is expected to start for the Flames, and he's 3-7-0 with a .873 SP and 3.45 GAA over the past month-and-half.
I think the move to Utah will also potentially galvanize the players -- making them a good bet in their franchise finale at home on Wednesday against the Oilers.
Joey Daccord, SEA at STL (45% rostered)
The Kraken's rotation has been a little weird lately with Philipp Grubauer starting four straight games at some point, and it must be hard for Daccord to stay in rhythm. This is a meaningless game since all eight teams in the West have been decided, and it's hard to pinpoint how exactly this game will be played out.
We know, however, that the Kraken have only been good in small spurts, playing the second half of a back-to-back and starting a goalie that just lost to the Sharks. It's hard to buy stock in Daccord right now.
