Goalies

Samuel Ersson, PHI @ NJ (26% rostered)
Jake Allen, NJ vs. PHI (39% rostered)

Pick your poison here as the two teams that played Monday meet again, this time in New Jersey. Do you roll with the starting netminder who has kept Philly in the race or the veteran backup who is now in charge to be the Devils' top man with Jacob Markstrom sidelined? Ersson defeated Allen and NJ on Monday and has been sharp in January since returning from a lower-body injury and reclaiming the top job in the Philly crease. He has gone 6-2-0 in eight starts with a 2.24 goals-against average (GAA) and a .913 save percentage. Allen, who notched the loss Monday, has been solid In January. Over five appearances this month, Allen has delivered an impressive 2.21 GAA and .912 save percentage. Both goalies have a pretty equal change at a win with a solid GAA and number of saves.

Connor Ingram, UTAH vs. PIT (33% rostered)

Ingram returned to action January 18 after missing 23 games due to an injury and the passing of his mother. He has been strong since coming back, allowing two goals in three of his four starts and stopping 99 of 109 shots in that stretch. Ingram struggled to start the season but seems to rounding into form. Against Pittsburgh, he has a very good chance to notch a win with good numbers across the board.
