Elliott v. DeSmith This Week

[jdreed3184]

Which has the higher chance of starting a game this week / which would you want this week in your fantasy playoffs?

Need to swap one of them out for offensive help but need at least one start. Other options on the wire (though it would burn one of 3 FA moves for the week):

Anton Khudobin: DAL has 3 games (is Bishop out?)
Anders Nilsson: OTT has 4 games
Roberto Luongo: FLA has 3 games
Phoenix Copley: WSH has 4 games

Brian Elliott: PHI has 4 games
Casey DeSmith: PIT has 3 games

Thanks for the help!

If you are looking simply for STARTS, then I think Anders Nilsson is your guy. I have to think he gets 2/4 this week at a minimum.

To answer your specific question: I think Elliot has a better chance at goalie stats this week than DeSmith.

Thanks Moses. I made a mistake - OTT only has 3 starts. But your point is still valid - Nilsson has some quality starts too.

My opponent has Rask, Lehner, and Greiss. I have an unpredictable Hellebuyck. I think volume stats are all I can compete at.
