Goalies spot starts thread

[pmorrow]

For today's spot start, I can't decide between Ulmark or Niemi.
Both meh goalies playing a terrible team that can't score.

Yahoo pickups seems to lean heavily towards Ulmark, but all the stats and metrics seem to have edge for Montreal (niemi).
What am i missing; why is everyone going for ulmark over niemi?

I am just guessing but Ullmark was confirmed yesterday so people probably picked him up overnight and this morning before Niemi was confirmed.

Ullmark! Ullmark! Ullmark! (see previous page of thread)

O. Dansk just got sent back down, so Fleury is probably more likely to go than Subban. However, still a good chance they rest Fleury and just have him backing up.
As for Raanta, I would say it's pretty good odds that he starts.

With the way things are shaking out, I would go with:
1) Raanta
2) Saros
3) Subban

Could also pick up Ryan Miller to handcuff the ducks, they have 2 games left this week so I can garuntee my 4 weekly starts

No word yet on NAS or LV starters. I own Rinne and Subban and have to pick one. Gonna have to set my lineup soon, so any educated guesses?

NAS - Rinne got shelled last game and they play btb so I'm assuming Saros gets the nod today and Rinne back at it tmrw. But they also may want to put Rinne back in to shake off the bad start.

LV - Fleury back with the team and apparently good to go, but they may have him back up Subban who played very well last game.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: dropped Subban and grabbed Grubauer so rolling with him today - at least he is confirmed and I like WAS @ MTL as much as NAS @ MIN so may as well lock it in rather than hoping Rinne gets the nod.

Not sure if Fleury is getting the start this afternoon.

I do like Reimer at home vs ARI today though

[loco man]

Shit.

Grubauer @ MTL

Rinne @ MIN

Never like to sit Rinne but like WAS matchup better. Whos the best bet?

I’m going with Grubauer tonight, Habs played a road game last night.

Any confirmed starters for tomorrow other than Lyon?

Not any spot starts, no. Just Hellebuyck.

I wonder if Stalock plays tomorrow; any owners of Wild goalies have a feeling on it?

[hockeyrobot]

Made some calls this week given my opponent having 2 shutouts by Wednesday and elite goalies....assumed he'd make logical decisions going forward because we count losses. Instead he just kept playing goalies and got a bunch of losses......until he picked up Talbot today (who I dropped earlier this week) and got another win.

So damn frustrating. Makes me want to quit head to head.

I did a bit of research myself and Dubnyk has been used on both b2bs several times this year. Stay away unless you get a confirmation.

They're also in the thick of the race and had all week off. I think Dubynk goes.

[hockeyrobot]

Also added Saros as he has played almost all b2bs this year.

Also looks like Edmonton has mostly split their B2Bs....but I wonder if they'll stick with Talbot since he's finally rolling.

[hockeyrobot]

Stalock in for a team competing.....Talbot stays for a team at the bottom.
