High Salary G

Jonathan Quick-LA Kings ($7,800): Quick has to be the top target among goaltenders today due to his price, the matchup, and his recent play. Quick is priced high for a goalie, but is at least under the $8,000 threshold. He gets to face the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs, a welcomed matchup for any goalie. Quick has won seven of his last eight games and is sitting at 17-8-1 for the season. Deploy Quick as your best goalie option today.

Corey Crawford-Chicago Blackhawks ($8,100): Crawford is the most expensive goaltender available tonight and its for a good reason. He plays for one of the top teams in the league and is putting together a stellar season with an overall record of 16-8-2. With five wins in his last six starts, Crawford makes for a great fantasy target. Especially against the Buffalo Sabres who rank 26th in the league in goals scored per game. There’s a chance Crawford could be rested today but if he’s between the pipes he needs to be in your lineup.

High Value G

Devan Dubnyk-Minnesota Wild ($7,500): Dubnyk missed four games earlier this month due to injury, but looked sharp in his return Thursday making 21 stops in a win over the Rangers. for the season Dubnyk has posted a record of 14-7-2 and has wins in three of his last three starts. Nashville is the opponent for Dubnyk tonight, setting up a good matchup. The Predators rank 20th in the league in scoring, making Dubnyk a solid fantasy play for your lineup.

Keith Kincaid-New Jersey Devils ($6,700): If you spent big money at the offensive positions you will certainly need to find a way to save cap space. The New Jersey backup could be a good target tonight. Kincaid is the confirmed starter against Anaheim Saturday, the lowest-scoring team in the league. Kincaid only has five starts this year but has looked good in his last two starts, posting a 1.30 GAA. It’s certainly a speculative play, but one that could work out well if you choose to insert him in your lineup.
