Goalies
Jonathan Quick, NYR vs. VAN (10% rostered) - FanDuel $7,900
Quick will likely draw the start with Igor Shesterkin facing the Ducks on Monday, and this is a good matchup for the Rangers. Zeev Buium’s Canucks debut resulted in a win, but the Canucks overall offense remains very muted, managing to score just two goals against the Devils and registered only one shot in the third period. They will also likely be without top center Elias Pettersson, who remains on IR as of Monday. Quick is having an excellent season with three wins in seven starts with a .937 SP and 1.86 GAA and has historically been excellent against the Canucks.
Dennis Hildeby, TOR vs. CHI (31% rostered) - FanDuel $7,400
Joseph Woll (49% rostered) could be activated ahead of Tuesday’s and either option should be good against the Connor Bedard-less Blackhawks. Without their franchise center, the Hawks will find it harder to generate offense. As much as the Leafs have been struggling, keeping the Hawks offense to a minimum should not be a difficult task.
Dan Vladar, PHI at MTL (46% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
As of Monday evening, it’s anybody’s guess who the Habs will start on Tuesday, but that uncertainty is a point in the Flyers’ favor, who have been much more consistent than the Habs this season. Vladar has lost two in a row but both games were one-goal losses against very tough opponents, and he’s coming off a strong performance against the Canes with 30 saves (.938 SP).
