Joel Blomqvist, PIT vs. TOR (1% rostered)
Blomqvist picked up his first win since Nov. 8, stopping 21 of 22 shots Thursday. He had gone 0-5-0 with a 4.41 goals-against average (GAA) and an .828 save percentage across six outings between those wins. Pittsburgh may be playing for the future, plus with a match up against the Maple Leafs, expecting a win might be a stretch. If you roster Blomqvist tomorrow, hope for a solid number of saves, that's all.
Joel Hofer, STL @ DAL (6% rostered)
Like Blomqvist, Hofer has a difficult opponent, facing the Stars. Hofer went 1-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and a .900 save percentage across three appearances in February, backing up Jordan Binnington. His win Thursday was his first since January 16 and the Blues had won three in a row prior to Saturday's contest against the Kings. St. Louis is still in playoff contention meaning Hofer will remain the back up. Hope for a solid performance between the pipes with a win being challenging.
Jake Allen, NJ @ LV (36% rostered)
Allen's time in the spotlight may be coming to an end soon, as Jacob Markstrom (knee) is on the Devils' two-game road trip, meaning he is close to playing. Sunday could be his last start for a little bit with Markstrom about set to resume his starting role. He has been fairly solid, along with Nico Daws, in stepping in between the pipes while Markstrom was sidelined. Look for a strong outing from Allen against a good Vegas team, as he tries to show he is worthy of playing time,
