Goalies
Alex Lyon, BUF vs. NSH (46% rostered)
Either Lyon or Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen should be good options for this matchup, though it’s likely Lyon’s start based on their rotation. Lyon has been one of the league’s most unheralded goalies this season with six wins in his past eight starts for one of the best teams in the league. The Preds retained most of their veterans at the deadline with eight losses in their past 12 games.
Jakub Dobes, MTL at LA (28% rostered)
It’s been a rough two games for the Habs in California with 11 goals allowed against the Sharks and Ducks, but the Kings offense has a much lower ceiling than either of those teams. Dobes’ performances have been really uneven, but there’s no doubt the Habs should have the advantage here. It’ll be their third game in five nights but the travel has been minimal, and Dobes is 6-1-0 with a .905 SP against Pacific Division teams this season.
