High Salary Goalie

Roberto Luongo-Florida Panthers ($8,400): The veteran netminder just keeps rolling along this season and has 23 wins with a solid GAA of 2.20. He took an overtime loss on Saturday against Pittsburgh but managed to make 32 saves. The loss snapped a four-game win streak for Luongo. He’s the most expensive goalie on the board tonight and gets a decent matchup with Detroit. The Red Wings are ranked 19th in the NHL with an average of 2.5 goals per game. Take Luongo tonight and hope that his stellar season continues.

Henrik Lundqvist-New York Rangers ($8,100): Lundqvist has been streaky this season but has managed to post 25 wins with a GAA of 2.40. He has struggled at times and hasn’t been the model of consistency that everyone is used to. Tonight he’ll go up against the rival from across the river and will look to avenge a loss to the Devils on February 2. Lundqvist has been playing well lately and carries a two-game win streak into tonight’s game. With six wins in his last eight starts, Lundqvist is a great start in net tonight.

High Value Goalie

Frederik Andersen-Anaheim Ducks ($7,300): Andersen is purely a speculative pick tonight, but he could be one that helps get you into the money. He get’s a very tough matchup with Pittsburgh, and he’s not even the guaranteed starter, but he makes for a very interesting pick if he does indeed get the nod. Andersen has played very well lately with wins in three straight starts. The Ducks are hot right now and whoever is in net has been benefiting. Andersen could have a low ownership number tonight, something that will only add to his value.
