Spencer Knight, CHI vs. PHI (24% rostered)
Knight has been mostly right for the Blackhawks, though, his numbers have been less than stellar due to the play in front of him. Chicago certainly have their top netminder, now the key will be building around Knight and Connor Bedard. Knight has started in four of Chicago's last five games, but he's lost every one of those starts while posting a 3.30 goals-against average (GAA) and an .877 save percentage, evdencing both points made above. Philly is 5-4-1 in their 10, so the hope for Knight's fabtasy teams is that he posts a high number of saves with a win being challenging.
Tristan Jarry, PIT @ FLA (30% rostered)
Pittsburgh has been red-hot recently, winning five of their last six games. Jarry was between the pipes for the first four victories before falling Thursday. He was strong in all five contests, stopping 154 of 166 shots, for a .928 save percentage and 2.40 GAA. Jarry spent nearly two months in the minors due to his struggles between the pipes, but as noted above, he has been vastly better since his recall. He and Pittsburgh will have a tough battle versus Florida, making a victory difficult. But the Penguins come in hot, giving them a reasonable at a victory.
Justus Annunen, NSH @ STL (6% rostered)
Annunen has been better in Nahville than he was in Colorado since the trade to the Predators. The 25-year-old has appeared in 16 games for Nashville since being acquired via trade earlier this season, posting an 8-6-1 record with a 2.95 GAA and a .901 save percentage in that span. Annunen was 6-4-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .872 save percentage in Colorado. He has been alternating wins and losses across his last four starts, but was on his game the past two contests. Nashville defeated Toronto on Saturday, ending a two-game losing streak, which takes a little pressure off Annunen. Look for a third straight solid start from him with a win a strong likelihood.
