Goalies:
Akira Schmid, LV @ FLA (25% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
Until Carter Hart is allowed to play - which is December 1 - Schmid may get all the games he can handle between the pipes for the Knights. He has shown in the past that he can handle spot duty but has slumped when receiving a large workload. Schmid is 4-0-0 with a 2.57 goals-against average (GAA) and .899 save percentage while splitting time with Hill, who is out indefinitely.
Arturs Silovs, PIT vs. CLM (21% rostered) - FanDuel $7,600
Pittsburgh has received better than expected goaltending from both Silovs and Tristan Jarry. Silovs has had three good starts and one poor one to begin the season, leaving him with a 2.26 GAA, .919 save percentage and 3-1-0 record. The most starts Silovs has had in a season is 10, with this outing, he will be halfway there less than a month into the 2025-26 campaign, giving him value.
Darcy Kuemper, LA @ NAS (89% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Kuemper, brilliant last season in LA, got off to a slow start before he was sidelined short-term with an injury. He has won a pair of overtime contests since returning to action, stopping 46 of 49 shots. Thanks to those two solid outings, Kuemper is now 2-2-1 with a 2.59 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He should be in net versus the Predators in this front end of a back-to-back.
Joey Daccord, SEA vs. EDM (73% rostered) - FanDuel $7,200
Daccord received his first chance as a starting netminder in 2023-24, going 19-18-11 in 50 starts. His workload increased by seven starts last season and he rewarded the Kraken with 27 wins. Daccord is off to a strong start in 2025-26. Through six starts, Daccord has gone 4-1-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .911 save percentage as he tries to carry Seattle back to the postseason.
