Goalies
Arturs Silovs, PIT vs. BOS (22% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Pittsburgh, prior to Saturday's game, had hit a little road bump, losing two in a row while going 5-3-2 in their 10 contests. Boston comes in 5-2-3 following a win Saturday that gave them a small cushion in the Wild Card race, though both the Penguins and Bruins both had 75 points. Both Silovs and Joonas Korpisalo have played well, but I am giving a very slight edge to Silovs, which is why he is the one that gets the nod.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, BUF vs. TB (44% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
Tampa entered Saturday's contest with the Maple Leafs in a slight tailspin, having lost four in a row. Coupled that losing streak with the Sabres' hit streak and the two teams were tied for first in the Atlantic Division at 80 points, though the Lightning have a pair of games in hand. UPL - and Alex Lyon, who started Saturday - has been red-hot with Luukkonen winning four straight decisions dating back to January 22. On the season, he's 14-7-2 over 24 outings with a 2.55 goals-against average (GAA) and .910 save percentage.
John Gibson, DET @ NJ (80% rostered) - FanDuel $7,400
New Jersey has found their form, winning four straight contests, while Detroit is 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. Despite those numbers, I am recommending going with Gibson who has more than settled in as the Winged Wheel's top netminder. Gibson has allowed more than three goals only once in 17 outings since the calendar flipped to 2026, going 10-5-1 with a stellar 1.99 GAA and .924 save percentage since the beginning of January. It's those stats that drive his profile here.
