Goalies
Scott Wedgewood, COL @ FLA (90% rostered) - DraftKings $8,100
The Avalanche came into Saturday's contest 9-0-1 in their prior 10 contests, winning nine straight. Wedgewood is 4-0-1 in that stretch with Mackenzie Blackwood, who landed on injured reserve Friday with a lower-body injury, winning the other five games. Wedgewood started Saturday, and with Blackwood sidelined, likely will get the nod Sunday over Trent Miner. He came into Saturday's game, to 17-1-4 with a 2.13 goals-against average (GAA) and a .919 save percentage over 24 starts this season.
Jake Allen, NJ vs. CAR (31% rostered) - DraftKings $7,400
Allen comes into Sunday's game allowing two or fewer goals in four of his last five appearances. Over those five games, Allen has posted a 1.97 GAA with a stellar .938 save percentage. Jake Markstrom started and defeated the Mammoth on Saturday and his duo with Allen has provided the Devils consistent - and at times - above-average goaltending. Allen is 11-8-1 with a 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances.
