Goalies
Akira Schmid, LV @ UTAH (50% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
Finding a goalie to profile was not easy, as several higher profile named netminders are going through their own struggles, making them a risky bet. Schmid lost Saturday in overtime but hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 25 versus the Panthers. Schmid, who has steped in as the Knights' top goalie with Adin Hill sidelined, has been reliable with a 9-1-3 record, a 2.45 goals-against average (GAA) and a .902 save percentage in 13 appearances. Carter Hart is available in less than a week, but until then, Schmid will continue to see most of the starts.
Darcy Kuemper, LA vs. OTT (95% rostered) - FanDuel $7,300
Feel free to substitute Linus Ullmark for Kuemper, as I basically flipped a coin to decide which one to profile. Kuemper gets the nod as LA is on home ice and he too has been solid this season. In 15 appearances, Kuemper is 7-4-4 with a 2.38 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Kuemper struggled his second season in Washington but turned around his career last season in LA and has carried that forward until the 2025-26 campiagn.
