Goalies
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, BUF at PIT (21% rostered) - DraftKings $7,600
UPL comes into the contest versus the Penguins on a bit of a roll. He has won back-to-back games for the first time this season, stopping 49 of 53 shots (.925 save percentage) in victories over Chicago and Carolina on Friday and Sunday. After notching 27 victories in 2023-24, Luukkonen took a step back last season, ceding the top role by year end. His slow start to 2025-26 opened the door for Colten Ellis and Alex Lyon to see action between the pipes but another strong effort could give UPL the lion's share of the playing time.
Jet Greaves, CLM vs. PIT (47% rostered) - DraftKings $7,900
Greaves has gone seven straight starts without a regulation loss, posting a 4-0-3 record with 2.71 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. He has in essence taken over as the Blue Jackets' top goalie with Elvis Merzlikins sliding back into a secondary role. Greaves had a strong close to 2024-25 with his solid impression opening the door heading into training camp. He carried that forward into this season resulting in his change in goaltending pecking order.
Linus Ullmark, OTT @ LV (83% rostered) - DraftKings $7,100
Ullmark has had a roller-coaster type season, reeling off good and bad stretches of play. He has one two in a row and allowed five goals on 62 shots in his last three appearances. For the season, the 32-year-old netminder has an 8-5-4 record with a 2.95 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 17 outings. Ullmark and the Senators have a difficult rough matchup versus the Knights, but he is certainly worth a look while he is playing well.
Lukas Dostal, ANA vs. VAN (88% rostered) - DraftKings $8,000
Dostal enters Wednesday's contest on a three-game winning streak. He has already reeled off a six-game one earlier this season, his first as the #1 goalie for the Ducks. For the season, the 25-year-old Czech netminder is now 11-5-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 17 starts. He notched 23 victories in 54 appearances last season and is almost halfway there already a-third of the way into the 2025-26 campaign.
