Goalies
Alex Lyon, BUF vs. VGK (45% rostered) - FanDuel $7,600
Lyon and the Sabres continue their roll and so far have been unbeaten since the break, winning three straight and outscoring their opponents 11-5. Lyon has been excellent without drawing much attention, ranking first in save percentage (.928, min. 10 GP) since Dec. 1. The Knights may be without captain Mark Stone and lost their past two games by a combined 8-2 score. They’re 4-6-2 since mid-January.
Jet Greaves, CBJ vs. NSH (64% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
Second half of a back-to-back for both teams and a tough matchup for the Jackets because the Preds offense has been quite good lately and they continue to blow a lot of early leads, almost succumbing to the Rangers on Monday despite a 4-0 lead. Greaves has generally been quite good this season with 18 wins in 36 starts with a .909 SP, and in their previous meeting stopped 30 of 32 shots (.938 SP) though he was tagged with the loss. Greaves has the potential to earn the win and provide a decent-to-good save percentage for fantasy managers.
Casey DeSmith, DAL at CGY (20% rostered) - FanDuel $7,600
The Stars made quick and easy work of the Canucks on Monday and should have plenty left in the tank against the Flames. DeSmith is tasked with extending the Stars’ record-setting winning streak to 10 games, and he has not allowed more than two goals in four consecutive starts. This should be another relatively easy win for arguably the hottest team in the league.
