Goalies
Dan Vladar, PHI vs. CAR (54% rostered) – FanDuel $7,500
A pair of red-hot teams meet in Philly on Monday evening. The Hurricanes and Flyers are each 7-3-0 in their last 10 contests; the difference is Carolina has clinched a playoff berth and is on the verge of locking up first place in the Conference while Philadelphia has work remaining to punch their ticket to the postseason. Philly should be the more desperate team Monday but face a goalie in Brandon Bussi who has won five straight while Vladar is 4-1-0, allowing one goal per game in four of those five contests. Tacit nod to Vladar in this one.
Justus Annunen, NSH vs. SJ (4% rostered) – FanDuel $8,100
Desperate times call for desperate and bold measures with status and roles thrown out. Juuse Saros is the Predators' #1 goalie, but he is scuffling right now, having lost two in a row and allowed at least three goals in four of his last five appearances. Annunen comes in off of two straight victories, stopping 64 of 65 shots in those starts. The Predators need to win their last two games and hope for some help. Go with the hot netminder.
Carter Hart, LV vs. WPG (19% rostered) – FanDuel $8,300
Vegas is 6-3-1 in their 10 contests, aided by the hot play of Hart between the pipes. Hart has won four starts in a row, allowing just seven goals on 97 shots over those four victories, solidifying his status as the Golden Knights' No. 1 goalie heading into the playoffs. Winnipeg's playoff chances are hanging by a thread with a berth highly unlikely. Hart and Adin Hill may split the final two games of the Knights' regular season, though with first place in the division up for grabs, Hart could start both contests.
