Goalies fantasy hockey who is starting

Petersen just assumed the starter role last season where the Kings took a step forward with a boost from his play in net. Despite posting a 2.

With another year and some additions that should help him out in Alex Edler and Phillip Danault, his numbers should increase all around and you should expect at least a win season and over. Ranked as the 32nd goalie in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey, a starter on a team that could compete for a playoff spot should be much higher, and you will be rewarded for drafting him as a second or third goalie option. He had a. Last season was way off the charts of similarity to his previous performance. He had an.

The Flyers made some huge changes on the back end to help fix the problem, bringing in Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Keith Yandle, all veteran players.

They moved on from a trio of younger defencemen who had different styles of game. At the very least, the experience and change in scenery from the new guys should provide the boost that the team needs to keep pucks out of their net more than last year. As the 19th goalie off the board right now, Ullmark brings incredible value and upside for his ADP. Tagging on Swayman for insurance near the end of the draft will give you what should be one of the best tandems in the league for a team that finished 10th in the NHL last year.

The two were the third most valuable goaltending duo with at least 10 gmaes played each in fantasy in in terms of combined wins behind only Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner in Vegas who no longer play together, and Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith in Pittsburgh.

Both Talbot and Kahkonen are back and set to once again play every game for Minnesota with no viable third option. The duo went a combined last year as the Wild finished ninth in the NHL. The duo also combined for four shutouts on the year. The Wild finished in the middle of the pack last year defensively, placing 16th for even strength shots against and 17th for even strength goals against.

However, they did an exceptional job limiting high danger chances against. They finished first in the NHL in with the least high danger chances against, making life easy on their goalies. The team also went out and completely revamped their defence this offseason, bringing in shutdown defenders in Alex Goligoski , Dmitry Kulikov , and Jon Merrill. However like last year the duo will most likely both get into their fair share of games.

For that reason they are also the most valuable goaltending duo in fantasy this season. Varlamov and Sorokin are both coming off great fantasy seasons in Tristan Jarry First goalie off is Pens Matt Vensel. Compare Bobrovsky vs. Jarry using the Goalie Comparison Tool. Zach Fucale Washington Capitals. Thomas Greiss Compare Fucale vs. Greiss using the Goalie Comparison Tool.

Connor Hellebuyck Compare Reimer vs. Hellebuyck using the Goalie Comparison Tool. Thatcher Demko Demko starts for the Canucks tonight in Colorado. Samsonov is by far the riskiest, as he barely played a season ago and has the most capable backup Vitek Vanecek behind him. Price is a future Hall of Famer, but he's getting up there in years, had offseason surgery, and the Canadiens coaching staff loves backup Jake Allen.

Talbot was great last season for an overachieving Wild team. I've always been a fan, but I'm sure there are plenty who think his year was a fluke. Grubauer is going from arguably the best team in the NHL in Colorado to an expansion team in Seattle. The Kraken also have a solid backup in Chris Driedger. As for Hart, NHL goalies rarely get the benefit of the doubt when posting a record, 3.

This is where things get messy. There's a case to be made that the first four teams listed above are among the 10 best teams in the NHL. However, all feature ambiguous goaltending situations at the moment, and in the case of the Islanders, they seem likely to go with a timeshare more often than not.

It's really risky to rely on any of these guys in a league with weekly lineup changes. You could theoretically take both goaltenders in your draft to cover your bases, but then you're limiting potential upside. The Penguins should be a solid team once again, but Jarry had a dreadful playoff, and I know the club is high on backup Casey DeSmith.

Smith's ADP is laughable for a guy who finished last season with a record, 2.
