NHL Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Goalie Pickups March 4 - Knight The Man in Net in the Windy City

On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games

Five games on Wednesday, March 5

* = confirmed

Charlie Lindgren, WSH @ Igor Shesterkin, NYR (7:30 p.m. ET)

Linus Ullmark, OTT @ Spencer Knight, CHI (7:30 p.m. ET)

Joseph Woll, TOR @ Adin Hill, LV (10:30 p.m. ET)

John Gibson, ANA @ Kevin Lankinen, VAN (10:30 p.m. ET)

Jordan Binnington, STL @ Darcy Kuemper, LA (10:30 p.m. ET)

Spencer Knight, Chi vs. OTT (22% rostered)
Knight had a brilliant performance in his Blackhawks' debut, stopping 41 of 42 shots to defeat the Kings on Monday.  Acquired from Florida for Seth Jones, Knight posted a 12-8-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 23 appearances with the Panthers. Knight, selected 13 overall in 2019, should get the chance to be Chicago's top netminder after being the back up the Sergei Bobrovsky the last three-plus seasons. A win with strong ancillary stats is a strong possibility for Knight.

John Gibson, ANA @ LA (15% rostered)
Lukas Dostal made 33 saves Tuesday to defeat the Oilers 6-2. Gibson gets his shot between the pipes tonight in what could be his final start as a Duck. It's no secret that Anaheim is looking to move on from him with Dostal the present and future in net. Gibson is just 9-10-2 with a 2.80 goals-against average (GAA) and a .909 save percentage through 25 games this season and would greatly benefit from a change of scenery. The trade deadline is Friday at 3 p.m. ET, it's even money if the Ducks can find a taker with Gibson having two additional years at a $6.4 million AAV remaining on his deal. A win may more than challenging, but Gibson should be able to rack up some saves.
