Goalies
Thatcher Demko, VAN @ PHI (74% rostered) - DraftKings $7,600
Demko, after missing nearly a month with a lower-body injury, posted a loss in his first game back. Since that contest, he has reeled off three straight wins, allowing just two goals in 72 shots, posting a shutout during that span. Demko is locked in as the Canucks' starter with Kevin Lankinen the backup, as long as he remains healthy, which has been an issue the past several seasons.
Anton Forsberg, LA vs. CLM (10% rostered) - DraftKings $8,200
Darcy Kuemper's injury, believed to be a concussion, landed him on the injured list Tuesday, the day after his head was hit by Mikko Rantanen's elbow/forearm. Stepping in as the Kings' starter is Forsberg, who has been up-and-down the contests he has played. Forsberg, though, is coming a stellar effort on the road against the Lightning on Thursday, during which he stopped 31 of 32 shots for the win.
