Goalies
Dan Vladar, PHI vs. BOS (49% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
A quick glance at the Eastern Conference Wild Card race shows a logjam for the second spot. Ottawa, Detroit, Philadelphia and Columbus all have 88 points with the Senators in the playoff spot. Add in the Islanders at 89 points in third place in the Metro Division and Washington at 87 and you get the point. Boston appears to have a secure hold on the first Wild Card spot with 94 points, making Sunday's contest a bit more important for the Flyers. Vladar continues to roll in what has been a career season, going 3-2-0 with 13 goals allowed over his last five outings. He is 25-13-7 with a 2.47 goals-against average (GAA) and a .905 save percentage over 47 appearances. Vladar's should see the bulk of the starts moving forward for Philly.
Jacob Fowler, MTL vs. NJ (22% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Montreal defeated New Jersey 4-3 in a shoot out Saturday, moving the Habs into a tie for second place in the Atlantic Division, two points out of first. The two squads meet again Sunday, this contest at the Bell Centre. Fowler will be between the pipes after Jakob Dobes manned the net Satuday. He enters the contest having won three consecutive games with just six goals against on 70 shots faced in that span (.914 save percentage).
