Goalies
Jet Greaves, CBJ at PHI (70% rostered)
Greaves is no longer available on the waiver wire in most leagues, which has been a long time coming considering the season he’s had. His three-game winning streak was snapped against the Isles, but it was barely his fault after allowing just one goal on 22 shots in a 1-0 loss. He’ll be worth streaming/starting again on Tuesday, but the same will also apply to Elvis Merzlikins (10% rostered) should he get the start. Merzlikins is a little less reliable but he’s had his fair share of strong performances this season and allowed two goals in each of his past three games.
Joel Hofer, STL vs. WSH (36% rostered)
It’s been seven straight games where Hofer’s posted a save percentage of .918 or better, and it’s not exactly his fault the Blues haven’t provided enough goal support to get him wins. The Caps have been stingy lately, keeping their opponents to two goals or less in regulation in five straight games, but note they rank 19th in goals for per game on the road with a mediocre 13-16-4 record.
