On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues and/or for daily fantasy games.
4 games on Wednesday, November 19
* = confirmed
Stuart Skinner, EDM at Logan Thompson, WAS (7 p.m. ET)
Devin Cooley, CGY at Colten Ellis, BUF (7:30 p.m. ET)
Frederik Andersen, CAR at Jesper Wallstedt*, MIN (9:30 p.m. ET)
Jeremy Swayman, BOS at Lukas Dostal, ANA (10 p.m. ET)
Goalies:
Colten Ellis, BUF vs. CGY (3% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Ellis is forcing the Sabres' hands between the pipes. He shut down the Oilers on Monday, earning a second straight start. The victory was his second straight and third in four starts, and he has posted a 2.76 goals-against average (GAA) and .914 save percentage.. Buffalo has a crowded net with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon also in the mix. But if Ellis continues to play well, look for him to be in net more often than not.
Jesper Wallstedt, MIN vs. CAR (22% rostered) - FanDuel $7,200
Wallstedt has earned additional playing time in net, stopping 89 of the 91 shots he has faced during his active three-game winning streak. He comes into Wednesday's contest off back-to-back shutout victories versus Calgary and Anaheim. Wallstedt and the Wild have a tougher task in this one, facing a 'Canes offense that ranks second in the league with 3.63 goals per game. But ride the hot goalie in this match-up.
