High Salary G

Roberto Luongo – Florida Panthers ($9,800): The logic behind starting Luongo isn’t that difficult. The Panthers have won ten straight games. Luongo has been phenomenal in those ten games. He has two shutouts in his past ten games and you could make an argument that he’s the best goalie in the NHL other than Braden Holtby. The Senators have a strong offense, but the way the Panthers are playing, I don’t see them beating the Panthers. Luongo averages 5.3 fantasy hockey points per game.

Devan Dubnyk – Minnesota Wild ($8,800): Dubnyk is a goalie who has a very favorable matchup tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers have scored just 83 goals this season, the second-lowest in the NHL. The Flyers are also playing on the road, where they have a 7-10-3 record this season. Dubnyk averages 4.8 fantasy hockey points per game.

Petr Mrazek – Detroit Red Wings ($8,800): Mrazek has been separating himself from Jimmy Howard as of late and should be the Red Wings number one goalie going forward. He has a save percentage of at least 90 percent in nine of his last ten games. He has two shutouts in his last four games. San Jose is 23rd in the league in goals scored so Mrazek should do well tonight. He averages 4.9 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value G

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets ($7,100): Hellebuyck has been doing very well for the Jets but he’s a bit of a risky start tonight. The Dallas Stars are slumping as of late. However, you don’t want to be starting the goalie who faces them when they get out of their slump because it’s not going to be pretty when they do. He averages 5.7 fantasy points per game.

Louis Domingue – Arizona Coyotes ($6,600): Domingue has been very solid for the Arizona Coyotes in net. He has a save percentage of at least 92.6 percent in each of his last three games. The Flames should be a tough matchup, but Domingue has performed quite well during his time in Arizona. He averages 5.2 fantasy hockey points per game.
