Nine game schedule has most starters between the pipes, with the Utah-Columbus game the fun one as both netminders worth a look.
On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies can be used in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.

Goalies
Jake Allen, NJ vs, LV (38% rostered)
Allen and New Jersey have both been up-and-down lately. The netminder has lost two of three while the team is 4-4-2 in their 10 games. New Jersey is trying to manage without Jacob Markstrom and Allen will need to pull his weight. He was very good most of January, but closed the month with two losses in his last three starts and has surrendered three goals in three of his last four outings. Allen faces a good Vegas team, so a win may be tough, though he should rack a good number of saves.
Connor Ingram, UTAH @ CLM (34% rostered)
Elvis Merzlikins, CLM, vs. UTAH (37% rostered)
Spin the wheel and pick your goalie. If you pick the Hockey Club, your goalie has gone 2-3-1 over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury, though he's limited opponents to two goals in four of those games. If your selection is the Blue Jacket, your goalie has lost two in a row, but went 7-4-0 in January 11 outings with a 2.73 goals-against average and .902 save percentage. Both netminders have a decent shot at notching a victory, with Merzlikins having a slight edge there, though Ingram likely makes more saves.
