7 video games for Tuesday, Oct. 29

* = confirmed

• Samuel Ersson, PHI at Jeremy Swayman, BOS (7 p.m. ET)

• Philipp Grubauer, SEA at Sam Montembeault, MON (7 p.m. ET)

• Joel Hofer, STL at Linus Ullmark, OTT (7 p.m. ET)

Lukas Dostal, ANA at NYI (49% rostered)

That Dostal is rostered in almost 50% of leagues despite the fact that the Geese cannot/will not win many video games tells you ways good he is been. What you are in search of with Dostal is a excessive variety of saves and an excellent share.

The bonus on this matchup is the Isles aren’t excellent at scoring, rating twenty eighth in targets scored per sport and energy play effectivity, which provides the Geese an opportunity to steal this sport. Traditionally, nevertheless, the Geese don’t fare effectively in New York. They have not crushed the Rangers on Broadway since 2013 they usually’ve misplaced six straight towards the Isles since 2022 with a median of 5.2 targets allowed per sport.

Clearly, I believe that quantity will not be almost as excessive with this season’s model of Dostal in internet.

Philipp Grubauer, SEA at MON (10% rostered)

It is a good signal Joey Daccord received two straight begins — he’s positively the higher goalie — however with two straight losses, I believe the Kraken return to Grubauer.

I am not keen on this begin with the Kraken going 0-2-1 of their previous three, and with the Habs profitable two straight following a 0-3-1 streak the place Martin St-Louis was grilled about a few of his lineup selections. The Habs are 3-2-1 towards the Kraken all-time, together with 1-1-1 in Montreal. Flip a coin for the outcome and it is extra probably than not that Grubauer posts a pedestrian save share round .900.

Joel Hofer, STL at OTT (17% rostered)

What scares me most is that the Sens offense is legitimately excellent they usually’ve scored at the least 4 targets in 4 straight video games. Provided that the Blues are lacking Robert Thomas, I am cautious of their potential to supply objective help for Hofer to earn the win if he isn’t tremendous sharp.

Hofer can put in some good performances however he is additionally vulnerable to some blowup begins relationship again to the earlier season. I might be cautious about this begin given the Sens are the favored crew with home-ice benefit.

Marc-Andre Fleury, MIN at PIT (14% rostered)

It is exhausting to not assume Fleury will put forth a robust efficiency in what is going to very probably be his closing look earlier than the Penguins crowd. (The truth is, I would not be shocked if the house crowd begins cheering for Fleury greater than their very own starter.)

He is 5-4-0 with a .906 SP and three.05 GAA towards his former crew, and I believe we are able to anticipate one thing near these numbers. Fleury’s now not elite and his numbers have hovered round that vary over the previous few seasons.

What provides Fleury hope, nevertheless, is that the Wild’s offense has been glorious. The Pens are anticipated to stack their prime line they usually haven’t got the requisite depth to match as much as the Wild. I believe this may find yourself being a high-scoring sport and the Wild ought to pull forward.

Joel Blomqvist, PIT vs. MIN (8% rostered)

After Blomqvist made 46 (!) saves towards the Oilers and Alex Nedeljkovic misplaced in Vancouver on Saturday, I think Blomqvist will get the beginning right here. The fantasy valuation of the Pens’ goalies has shifted completely from “Which goalie will begin and get probably the most wins?” to “Which goalie will take advantage of saves?” because the Pens go from playoff hopeful to a basement crew.

I believe Blomqvist will see plenty of pucks and cease plenty of them however really feel very uncertain the Pens will be capable to snap their shedding streak.
