    Leaning towards Rask and Varly.

    League 1: Rask and Price
    League 2: Niemi and Bishop. I have a feeling that DET busts the COL wins bubble today.

    I like your choices.

    Varly vs. Price is tough, but you've gotta go with the hot hand.

    Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Generally speaking, I think it's a losing strategy to set your lineup based on your prediction of when a streak might end. By definition of a streak, it is statistically meaningfully higher probability to assume it will continue as opposed to trying to pinpoint that moment it will end.

    My philosophy has always been to strike while the iron is hot and ride it till the streak ends. That strategy has served me very well in my fantasy hockey career - I think it's one of the very few reliable strategies in the fantasy world.

    To each his own, I guess. I was just offering my 2 cents of advice based on what I would do in this situation.
