Goalies
Vitek Vanecek, SJ @ PHI (3% rostered)
Mackenzie Blackwood drew the short straw, starting against the Devils on Sunday. That left the Flyers for Vanecek on Monday. San Jose has been better after a rough start, bolstered recently by the return of Macklin Celebrini. Vanecek posted two wins in a row before allowing four goals on 30 shots to take the loss Thursday against the Wild. Facing an "easier" team might allow Vanecek to notch another W.
Dustin Wolf, CGY vs. LA (42% rostered)
Calgary has back-to-back contests Monday and Tuesday. As of press time, it's unclear if Wolf or Dan Vladar will start the front end of the two contests. After three straight wins to start the season, Wolf is 1-2-1 over his last four, giving up at least four goals in each loss. Calgary is also in the midst of a rough patch, losing two straight overtime games and 3-5-2 in their last 10. Go with Wolf if he starts and looking for a deep option.
