High Salary G

Henrik Lundqvist-New York Rangers ($8,100): Lundqvist is still the most expensive goalie tonight despite losing his last two starts. The last time he was between the pipes it was against the Edmonton Oilers, the same team he’ll draw tonight. Edmonton, though still one of the worst teams in the league, has been better as late, improving its goals per game ranking from the bottom of the list to the middle. With that said, it’s tough to imagine the Oilers getting to Lundqvist twice in less than a week. He’s a good target tonight.

Corey Crawford-Chicago Blackhawks ($8,000): With his blanking of Vancouver on Sunday Crawford has now shutouts in two straight games. He’s playing about as well as a goalie could right now and needs to be deployed in fantasy lineups. Crawford has won four straight starts and will get a good chance at home versus Colorado to keep the streak going.

High Value G

Karri Ramo-Calgary Flames ($6,800): Although the Flames are still at the bottom of the Western Conference they are arguably the hottest team in the NHL. Calgary has ripped off five straight wins and goaltender Karri Ramo has been a big part of the success. Ramo has won his last three starts and appears to be fully recovered from an ailment that kept him out of games on Thursday and Saturday. He’ll get Nashville tonight, a team ranked 15th in goals per game. Ramo is hot and has a great value price, using him tonight will be a great way to free up cap space to use elsewhere.

Darcy Kuemper-Minnesota Wild ($7,100): Kuemper is the confirmed starter against Vancouver on Tuesday as regular starter Devan Dubnyk is still recovering from an injury.  Kuemper is 2-0-2 since taking over and earned his fantasy owners 10 points against San Jose Saturday night. He goes up against a Vancouver team that lost its last time out.
