Goalies
Ville Husso, DET vs. PHI (4% rostered)
Husso notched his first win of the season, stopping 23 of 25 shots Saturday against Toronto. With the victory, he has a 1-4-2 record with a 3.47 goals-against average (GAA) and an .877 save percentage through eight appearances. With Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined and Alex Lyon (lower body) on the IR, Husso must have more performances like Saturday's to give Detroit a chance to win.
Marc-Andre Fleury, MIN vs. FLA (21% rostered)
MAF certainly has his job cut out for him facing the Panthers, who notched six goals against Edmonton on Monday. Jesper Wallstedt started sunday with Filip Gustavsson (lower body) sidelined, but Fleury, who has appeared in just seven of the Wild's first 28 games this season, may have to take on a bigger role. In his last five outings, the Flower is 3-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .915 save percentage.
Eric Comrie, WPG @ ANA (3% rostered)
Comrie's inclusion in this column is due to two reasons. First, the team in front of him in Winnipeg. Second, the squad who the Jets are facing. Comrie has dropped his last four starts, and the underlying numbers leave a lot to be desired, so consider this one a bit of a stretch. But if you are not risk averse and will to go out on a limb, Comrie might be worth a play.
