Goalies
Joonas Korpisalo, BOS @ NYR (12% rostered)
Boston looks for the home-and-home sweep against New York on Wednesday as they take on the Rangers at MSG. Korpisalo gets the nod tonight on the road. He is coming off a rough start in Winnipeg and only went 2-1-1 with a 3.24 goals-against average (GAA) and .889 save percentage in January. Overall, though, Korpisalo is 9-5-1 with a 2.84 GAA and .894 save percentage. He has a decent shot at a win, though his ancillary numbers may be less than ideal.
Calvin Pickard, EDM @ CHI (13% rostered)
Pickard has won his last four contests between the pipes for the Oilers, posting a 2.51 GAA and a .909 save percentage in that stretch. The victories leave Pickard just two shy of tying his career-high set in 2016-17 with Colorado. Stuart Skinner is the top netminder for Edmonton but Pickard has more than held his own in net. Facing a Chicago team that at times struggles to score, Pickard has a strong chance to notch his fifth straight win with a solid GAA and number of saves.
Jakub Dobes, MTL @ LA (20% rostered)
Dobes was the flavor of the month when he won his first seven decisions but he has hit a bit of a speed bump. He has allowed seven goals on 70 shots while going 0-1-1 in his last two and surrendered four tallies in his last win. Dobes has a tough match up on the road, making him a questionable option for a win, though he could notch a decent number of saves.
