Goalies
Ilya Sorokin, NYI vs. STL (96% rostered) – FanDuel $7,700
I like Sorokin as a value play in DFS games, coming off a 29-save shutout against the Wings and facing arguably the worst team in the league. Sorokin has not allowed more than three games since Oct. 28, and he’s getting plenty of goal support, too. He’s been excellent in November with a 4-1-1, .939 SP, 1.80 GAA line and routinely stymied the Blues throughout his career, posting a very similar 4-1-1, .928 SP, 1.99 GAA line.
Joseph Woll, TOR at MTL (54% rostered) - FanDuel $7,200
I don’t think Woll can really be blamed for either of his losses. He’s been pretty solid so far but the Leafs have had a lot of trouble providing goal support. That may change against the Habs, who’ve allowed 27 goals in their past five games and also having trouble scoring. Woll’s career numbers on the road (.915 SP) and against the Habs (3-0-0, .942 SP, 1.67) argue a strong case for him to be a top streaming option for Saturday’s slate.
Akira Schmid, VGK at ANA (47% rostered) - FanDuel $7,600
Perhaps Schmid is finding his groove. The Knights’ recent play has definitely improved and Schmid has won three games in a row. The Ducks offense is explosive but haven’t been able to score in bunches like they did earlier in the month, and the Knights defense has been difficult to penetrate in the past. I think Schmid has a good shot at earning a win in this matchup.
Dan Vladar, PHI vs. NJ (32% rostered) - FanDuel $7,400
The 5-1 loss to the Stars aside, where the Flyers were playing the second game of a back-to-back, Vladar has been pretty good otherwise. He stopped 27 of 29 shots (.931 SP) against the Blues and faces a Devils team that’s struggling to score without Jack Hughes. The Devils have not scored more than three goals in regulation since Nov. 1. This could be a low-scoring affair, which bodes well for Vladar’s save percentage.
Sergei Murashov, PIT vs. SEA (5% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
It was a tough start for the Pens on Friday night against the Wild, but I don’t think the Kraken offense poses as much of a threat. Murashov earned his first NHL win in Stockholm when he shut out the Preds, and he has another chance to keep goals allowed to a minimum against a team that ranks 28th in goals for per game, just three spots ahead of the Preds.
