Goalies
Jordan Binnington, STL @ WPG (45% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
Joel Hofer may have taken over as the Blues' primary netminder, but Binnington is still seeing his share of starts. Since the beginning of March. Hofer is 4-0-1 while Binnington has won both his outings. If the pair continues to alternate appearances. Binnington will get the nod as Hofer defeated the Oilers in overtime Friday. Both the Blues and Jets have 64 points, six points shy of the Sharks for the second Wild Card spot.
James Reimer, OTT vs. SJ (3% rostered) - FanDuel $7,600
Reimer's inclusion is a bit of a recency bias in the positive. He is coming off a 16-save shutout win this past Monday and has won three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 28, going 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage over that span. The downside, as evidenced by how long of a time span for that record, is that Reimer plays infrequently. But he is worth a look based on his prior start.
Sergei Bobrovsky, FLA @ SEA (3% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
Bobrovsky, compared to his usual standards, has not had a great year, Since the Olympics, though, he has found his prior form. Bobrovsky given up exactly one goal in three of five starts since the Olympic break, going 3-2-0 with a 2.21 goals-against average (GAA) and .925 save percentage during that span. Florida and Bobrovsky are basically playing out the string, but each have a lot of pride, which has been evidenced in their recently.
