Goalies
Eric Comrie, WPG @ NYR (5% rostered) - FanDuel $7,200
The Rangers are playing out the string while the Jets have worked their back into mild playoff contention, sitting five points behind the second Wild Card spot with 13 games remaining. Winnipeg fell to Pittsburgh in a shootout Saturday, earning one point. The Jets may need to win out, or close to it, to have a shot at a playoff spot. Comrie hasn't lost a game since Jan. 1, going 5-0-0 over his last five starts with a dazzling 1.39 goals-against average (GAA) and .946 save percentage in that span.
Frederik Andersen, CAR @ PIT (31% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Andersen's ancillary numbers are not great but he keeps winning thanks to the Carolina offense. He notched his fourth straight win Wednesday, and fifth in six outings since the Olympic break as he works in a timeshare with Brandon Bussi, Andersen has gone 5-1-0 in that stretch despite a 2.95 GAA and .873 save percentage, as Carolina has averaged 4.5 goals a game in his starts.
Jet Greaves, CLM @ NYI (68% rostered) - FanDuel $7,400
Columbus extended their point streak to 12 Saturday and now sit just one point behind Pittsburgh for second in the Metro Division. Greaves has played a huge part in the Blue Jackets' rise up the standings, going 10-0-2 in 12 starts since Rick Bowness replaced Dean Evason as head coach Jan. 12. Overall, Greaves is 23-12-8 with two shutouts, 2.61 GAA and .909 save percentage in 42 starts this season, building on the late success he had last season.
Alex Lyon, BUF @ ANA (53% rostered) - FanDuel $7,200
Buffalo's hot streak will end at some time, when that will be remains unknown. The Sabres have forced their into a playoff spot, division lead and tie for first in the Eastern Conference with their run following the change at General Manager. Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen both have done their parts between the pipes, with Lyon posting a shutout Thursday for his sixth straight win, a span in which he's allowed just 11 goals. He's up to 20-8-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 33 appearances this season but has a tough matchup Sunday in Anaheim.
