Goalies
Jeremy Swayman, BOS vs. CAR (86% rostered) - FanDuel $XX
Swayman suffered through a rough 2024-25 campaign. He is doing his best the first quarter of the 2025-26 campaign to show that performance was an aberration. Sawyman has won five straight starts, posting a 2.37 goals-against average (GAA) and .923 save percentage during that stretch, making up for a slow start. His fine play recently is a big reason why the Bruins lead the Atlantic Division.
Stuart Skinner, EDM @ BUF (62% rostered) - FanDuel $XX
Skinner's overall numbers are certainly not impressive but he notches wins, benefitting from the Oilers' robust offense. He enters Monday's contest having won three straight contests, despite allowing eight goals on just 79 shots. For the season, Skinner is 7-4-3 with a 2.77 GAA and .891 save percentage. Skinner took a step back each of the last two seasons, and this year started off no different, but he still posts wins.
Darcy Kuemper, LA @ WAS (94% rostered) - FanDuel $XX
Continuing the theme of hot goalies, Kuemper takes on the Capitals, his former team, having notched four straight wins, with just six goals allowed and one shutout in that span. Overall, Kuemper is 7-3-3 with a 2.44 GAA and .903 save percentage with one shutout this season. Kuemper benefitted from the move to the Kings last season, winning 31 games with a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage in 2024-25.
