Pick a goalie for H2H playoffs

[GretzkysMullet]

Weekly start H2H fantasy points - wins, saves, SO

Desmith 3 starts (LA, DAL, ANA)
Lindgren 3 starts (DET, TOR, BOS)
Jarry 3 starts (CAR, CBJ, CBJ)
Sorokin 2 starts (FLA, TBL)

Leaning Desmith or Lindgren. Sorokin has been my go to much of the year but he has been awful and has less games against the toughest opponents.

One risk with Desmith is that Demko was expected to miss 2-3 weeks. March 25 is the start of the 3rd week, so it’s possible Demko comes back at some point this week. I haven’t seen any updates since that was announced on March 11 though.

As much as I don’t like the matchups, Lindgren is probably the first guy you start since the Caps are somehow still in the playoff hunt. That may be enough incentive to keep them playing hard. Not sure if you need to start 1 or 2 guys, but from there it’s either roll the dice that DeSmith plays all week or take Jarry, who has the next most favorable matchups.

[GretzkysMullet]

Sorry, should have specified it's a start 1.

[GretzkysMullet]

Anyone else care to chime in? It's a weekly start so locks today with the first game. Still very undecided. Lindgren has the worst schedule but has been playing the best. Some uncertainty about Demko's return (though with the lack of news I'd be surprised if it's this week). Jarry has the best schedule but how do you trust him with his recent play? Any input would be very much appreciated!

I'd go Jarry. CBJ twice is nice.

I would go with Jarry but that's a big gamble.

If you can choose week to week (meaning the guy you choose now you're not locked into for the entirety of your playoffs), I'd go DeSmith this week. Jarry would be my second choice based on matchups.

Yup, just for this week. I'll probably go back to Sorokin for next looking at match ups if I make it through this round.

[GretzkysMullet]

Went with Desmith, best combo of match ups and team strength and I'm willing to bet Demko doesn't come back. Thanks all!
