High Salary G

Tuukka Rask-Boston Bruins ($8,000): Boston’s top goalie has been on a roll lately with wins in five straight starts. He has allowed a total of just four goals in that span and now has a record of 13-7-3 on the year. Rask has averaged 5.1 fantasy points a game for his owners and gets a decent matchup with New Jersey tonight. The Devils are 26th in the league with an average of 2.3 goals per game. If Rask is between the pipes tonight he makes for a solid fantasy target.

Roberto Luongo-Florida Panthers ($7,900): Luongo has started to look like his old self from Vancouver this year as he is playing very well for the Panthers. He just pitched a shutout on Friday night and now owns a 12-11-3 record with a 2.20 GAA and a .927 save percentage. He has wins in each of his last two starts and goes up against his former team tonight. The Canucks are 21st in the NHL in goals per game and represent a favorable matchup for Luongo.

High Value G

Petr Mrazek-Detroit Red Wings ($7,000): Mrazek has been inconsistent this season with a record of 9-5-3 but he can make for a good fantasy play given the right matchup. He lost his last time out but gets to go against Calgary today. The Flames have been the hottest team in the league over the last two weeks but just had a seven-game win streak snapped in an overtime loss at St. Louis Saturday. For Calgary, it will be the third game in four days after trips to Dallas and St. Louis. Marzek catches the Flames in a spot where they will likely be a bit worn out after two tough games, setting him up to be a good fantasy target.
