Goalies
Frederik Andersen, CAR vs. PIT (31% rostered) - FanDuel $7,900
Brandon Bussi was the flavor of the first five-plus of the season, but he maybe turning back into a pumpkin, having lost three straight games. On the flip side, Andersen has won his last three appearances and is 4-1-0 in his last five starts. Andersen's overall numbers are ugly, but his fine play recently coupled with Bussi's slump could result in Andersen seeing most starts, including tonight.
Joel Hofer, STL @ CGY (36% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
St. Louis, by virtue of their 7-2-1 mark in their last 10 contests, have pulled within seven points of the second Wild Card spot with 15 games remaining. A long shot, especially for a team that "punted" somewhat at the trade deadline, but the Blues have caught fire, aided by stellar netminding from Hofer and Jordan Binnington. The duo have been alternating starts, and if that patten continues, Hofer gets the nod against the Flames, making him a worthy play.
