Goalies
Charlie Lindgren, WSH @ BUF (38% rostered)
Logan Thompson, due to his brilliant play, has grabbed a hold of the top goalie role in Washington. Lindgren is in the midst of a rough stretch, as he is 0-2-1 across his last three starts while allowing 10 goals on just 81 shots in that span. After notching 25 wins with a 2.67 goals-against average (GAA) and .911 save percentage last season. Lindgren has just 10 wins midway through this season with a 2.70 GAA and .898 save percentage. Despite his recent slump, Lindgren is worth a look Monday.
If Joey Daccord is unable to start, Philipp Grubauer should be between the pipes. New Jersey comes in having lost four in a row, making Grubauer and Seattle a worthy risk.
