Goalies

Devon Levi, BUF at CLB (16% rostered)

With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen getting the beginning Wednesday in Pittsburgh, search for Levi to get the nod in Columbus. He is been glorious to date this season with a .919 SP in two video games and definitely has an opportunity to wrestle the No. 1 job away from Luukkonen. He is already fended off James Reimer, who was signed in the summertime as insurance coverage however waived and claimed by the Geese following the World Sequence in Czechia. One other sturdy begin ought to actually make the Sabres rethink their goalie rotation going ahead.

The Jackets are coming off an emotional residence opener honoring the Gaudreau brothers and anticipated to start out backup Daniil Tarasov, who allowed 4 targets on 30 photographs in his season debut. Levi positively has the sting right here.

Arvid Soderblom, CHI vs. SJ (1% rostered)

This can be a good matchup for Soderblom if he will get the beginning. He allowed simply two targets on 35 photographs in his season debut regardless of getting tagged with the loss towards the Jets, and now faces a winless crew that is scored simply six targets in three video games. The Sharks will probably be with out high prospect Macklin Celebrini, taking an enormous chew out of their offense.

The Blackhawks’ 1-2-1 report would not actually present it, however they’re an improved crew from final season, having overwhelmed the Oilers, 5-2, and dropping to the Flames and Jets on the highway by a two-goal margin in complete. This will probably be Soderblom’s first profession begin towards the Sharks.

Philipp Grubauer, SEA vs. PHI (15% rostered)

It appears to be like just like the Kraken will rotate Grubauer and Joey Daccord and it will be Grubauer’s flip after Daccord received their earlier recreation, 7-3, towards the Preds. Grubauer would not instill loads of confidence, however the matchup actually appears to be like good. The Flyers are enjoying their fourth highway recreation in six nights and so they’ve performed loads of additional hockey, too, successful in a shootout within the season opener in Vancouver after which dropping in time beyond regulation in Edmonton on Tuesday.

Fatigue will be the Flyers’ greatest enemy on this matchup, whereas the Kraken offense appears to have figured one thing out with 12 targets scored of their two wins. They have been very mediocre on offense because the franchise’s inception, and maybe that adjustments this 12 months with a extra skilled Matty Beniers and the addition of Shane Wright and Brandon Montour to the lineup.

Cayden Primeau, MON vs. LA (2% rostered)

This matchup actually will not be for the faint of coronary heart however it’s price contemplating as a result of the Kings are enjoying the second half of a back-to-back and enjoying their fifth highway recreation in eight days. David Rittich was pulled towards the Leafs in favor of Pheonix Copley, who’s filling in for Darcy Kuemper (decrease physique), and Copley may get the beginning.

Primeau allowed six targets on 29 photographs (.793 SP) in his season debut and the Habs are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Pens, however they’ve had two days’ relaxation and so they’ve been traditionally been a lot more durable to beat at residence towards the Kings although they’ve misplaced six straight video games towards them.
