Goalies
Scott Wedgewood, COL @ BUF, (61% rostered) – Draft Kings $8,200
Wedgewood is manning the pipes for the Avs with Mackenzie Blackwood sidelined. Blackwood (lower body) may not make the Avalanche's road trip to Buffalo on Monday, enabling Wedgewood to make another start. Wedgewood is 2-0-1, stopping 74 of 80 shots in those three outings, providing coach Jared Bednar confidence in going with Wedgewood and making sure Blackwood is fully healthy before he returns.
Jeremy Swayman, BOS vs. TB (85% rostered) – Draft Kings $7,600
Swayman came into the 2025-26 season off a brutal 2024-25 campaign, posting a 22-29-7 record with a 3.11 goals-against average (GAA) and poor .892 save percentage. He never settled in after sitting out all of training camp last season waiting to sign a long-term deal, which happened just before the start of the regular season. Swayman wiped the slate clean this offseason and gotten off to a strong start with just two goals allowed in two starts and wins.
Anthony Stolarz, TOR vs. DET (94% rostered) – Draft Kings n/a
Joseph Woll remains sidelined leaving Stolarz as the clear top goalie in Toronto backed up with Cayden Primeau. Stolarz had a fine 2023-24 campaign supporting Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida. He built off that success last season in Toronto, going went 21-8-3 with a 2.14 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Stolarz signed a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs in September and should see most of the action between the pipes.
Sergei Bobrovsky, FLA @ PHI (97% rostered) – Draft Kings $8,200
The Bob has shown no signs of slowing after winning back-to-back Cups in Florida. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.68 GAA and .925 save percentage. Bobrovsky should play between 50 and 55 contests for the Panthers as they look to limit his workload to keep him fresh for the post-season. It's possible Daniil Tarasov sees his first regular season action for the Panthers. If that proves to be the case, roll with him against the Flyers.
Spencer Knight, CHI vs. UTAH (36% rostered) – Draft Kings $7,000
Knight is the unquestioned #1 goalie in the Windy City. He is 0-2 on the season, but has played fairly well in the two losses, stopping 59 of 65 shots. Knight was dealt to the Blackhawks by the Panthers in the Seth Jones trade last season. Chicago has a porous blueline and is utilizing several young defensemen that are learning on the fly, so Knight here is a mildly risky bet.
