DFS: Tuesday's Goaltender Value Rankings
Here are theScore's goaltender value rankings for Tuesday, December 1:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Petr Mrazek (DET) | vs. BUF | 9 |
| Jake Allen (STL) | vs. FLA | 9 |
| Pekka Rinne (NAS) | vs. ARI | 8 |
| Antti Niemi (DAL) | at CGY | 8 |
| Mike Condon | vs. CLB | 8 |
Mrazek should handle the Sabres snipers with ease while Allen continues to impress in St. Louis, and seeks to improve his superb 2.04 GAA against a subpar Panthers team.
While stepping in for the injured Carey Price, Condon has posted a respectable GAA (2.19) and SV% (.916) over 12 games. Fire him up as the Canadiens play a Blue Jackets team struggling to score.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Marc-Andre Fleury (PIT) | at SJ | 7 |
| Mike Smith (ARI) | at NAS | 7 |
| Jonathan Quick (LA) | vs. VAN | 7 |
| Craig Anderson (OTT) | vs. PHI | 6 |
| Martin Jones (SJ) | vs. PIT | 6 |
Fleury's dominance this year has been overlooked due to the Penguins' lack of scoring, but he's a strong play in San Jose. Anderson faces the Flyers, a team that allows a pile of goals and is struggling to find twine.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Cory Schneider (NJ) | vs. COL | 5 |
| Reto Berra (COL) | at NJ | 5 |
| Devan Dubnyk (MIN) | at CHI | 4 |
| Jacob Markstrom (VAN) | at LA | 3 |
| Corey Crawford (CHI) | vs. MIN | 4 |
Schneider and Berra will battle each other in a game that should be relatively low-scoring.
The Wild's high-octane offense battles the Blackhawks and superstar W Patrick Kane; either goaltender is a viable contrarian option but nothing more.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Roberto Luongo (FLA) | at STL | 3 |
| Sergei Bobrovsky (CLB) | at MON | 2 |
| Steve Mason (PHI) | at OTT | 2 |
| Linus Ullmark (BUF) | at DET | 2 |
| Karri Ramo (CGY) | vs. DAL | 1 |
These goaltenders face teams with plenty of offensive firepower and should be faded in all DFS games.
