Goalies
Connor Hellebuyck, WPG vs. SEA (97% rostered) - DraftKings $8,000
Winnipeg looked washed up and left for dead when the Olympics break ended, but they have played well enough to be on the fringes of playoff contention. The Jets are three points shy of the Predators for the second Wild Card spot with six contests remaining. A driver of that run, in no surprise, has been Helly, especially lately. Since March 24, Hellebuyck is 4-2-0, with a 2.18 goals-against average (GAA) and a .909 save percentage across his last six appearances.
Juuse Saros, NSH @ LA (80% rostered) - DraftKings $7,500
Nashville and Los Angeles each have 81 points with six contests remaining but the Predators hold the tiebreaker over the Kings, which is why they are in the second Wild Card spot. San Jose is just two points back with a game in hand, making every contest almost a must win. Saturday, Saros and the Predators defeated the Sharks; Saros' fifth win in his last six outings, a span in which he's given up 19 goals on 190 shots. His ratios on the season leave a lot to be desired, but as long as Saros keeps winning games, that will matter little.
