Injury hell - 3 bandaids?

[c00per67]

OK so I'm in a H2H 1-year league and am in goalie injury hell. Merzlikins and Markstrom out just in time for the playoffs. My third goalie is Rinne, so...not a great situation. The waiver wire is pretty sparse as well, with other owners beating me to the punch on some of the recent hot pickups. Stats are W-GA-GAA-SV%-SV-SO. So if you have to choose 3 goalies to limp into the playoffs with, who do you take of these options:

Rinne
Crawford
Jones
Greiss
Demko
Quick
Hutton
Campbell
Schneider
Samsonov
Bernier
Hoberg

I'm in trouble.

How many skater categories do you have?
If you ran with Crawford and Samsonov as your goalies, would having an extra 4 skater games make a difference?

Demko could also be one of the better options there.

First Choices: Crawford and Demko - starters on their teams. Demko has been pretty bad, but he will get you starts.
Second Choice: Samsonov and Greiss - both these guys will get you pretty good numbers when they play. Samsonov seems to be playing more then Greiss right now

Interesting thought. There are 11 skater categories vs 7 for goalies, so the goalies are important. With only two goalies, and only one of them a starter, I'd worry about counting stats like wins and saves (and maybe even our 3 goalie appearance requirement) since most teams have 3 goalies and some have 4.

Not trouble. All you need is a few good starts. If you don't want to play the matchups I would roll Crawford and Demko as well. But if you can make moves during the week, with those goalies available I would strongly consider streaming some goalies.

Keep an eye out for Ullmark when he comes back. He's still on IR at the moment, but he was playing very well before he got hurt a month or 2 ago. He skated and faced shots yesterday, might be back as early as next week. And Buffalo has a pretty high number of games in the next couple of weeks (albeit many against tough opponents). He will likely be eased back in though with Buffalo not having much to play for.

Jones has been playing much better the last month or so, but he is very hard to trust down the stretch based on his past performance and SJ packing it in.

Your 3 favorite of those 2, Crawford and Demko are probably your best bets if you're mostly worried about volume though. I like Demko the best, even though he's been bad recently. They're not gonna bench him and the Canucks will be playing for their playoff lives for the rest of the season.

I like these options.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going with Crawford and Samsonov, and then probably streaming the third spot
