Goalies
Jonathan Quick, NYR vs. ANA (8% rostered)
This matchup seems so easy it does feel like a trap - the Ducks have not won on Broadway since Nov. 4, 2013, so maybe they're due? I doubt it, though; Quick knows the Ducks well from his days with the Kings, not to mention they just don't stack up against the Rangers.
With a 3-1 loss to the Panthers on Thursday, it's hard to envision the Rangers losing a second straight game, especially with Peter Laviolette recognizing a roster shuffle was necessary. Look for the Rangers' 'D' pairs to get mixed up a little bit, but this should be an easy win for them.
Kevin Lankinen, VAN vs. PIT (49% rostered)
It might be your last chance to get Lankinen here. Another win, which would be his fourth straight, would cement his status as the Canucks' starter. This should be a win; though the series has gone back and forth, the Canucks should be well-rested with a three-day break while the Pens are playing the second half of a back-to-back with travel from Edmonton and goaltending that's in serious trouble.
Elvis Merzlikins, CLB at NSH (3% rostered)
Merzlikins just returned from injury, backing up Daniil Tarasov Tuesday against the Leafs. Perhaps the Jackets will start Tarasov, since he has the hot hand, but this could be a good matchup to get Merzlikins back in a groove.
The Preds are playing the second half of a back-to-back with travel after playing in Chicago on Friday night, and will likely start backup Scott Wedgewood. There are plenty of reasons to think the Jackets can pull off a minor upset here.
Alex Lyon, DET at BUF (25% rostered)
Did the Wings finally find their swagger? They've rattled off three straight wins, even if they weren't all very convincing, but at the backbone of those wins is Lyon.
The Sabres come in with some momentum of their own with a two-game winning streak, most recently over the Stars, but if Lyon puts forth a strong performance, he might be the No. 1 moving forward. These matinee games are always a little weird, and I'm hesitant with this start. Lyon's career numbers against the Sabres isn't great: 3-2-0/.903 SP/3.51 GAA. This is Lyon's fourth start and fifth appearance in six games.
Dustin Wolf, CGY vs. WPG (51% rostered)
We're cheating a little here with Wolf being rostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues, but this a matchup between an unstoppable force and an immovable object. Wolf has been brilliant; while the Flames are the clear underdogs here, and the Jets have come close to seeing their perfect record get busted, I think what you're hoping for from Wolf is just a good save percentage.
