Saturday's Goaltender Value Rankings
Here are theScore's goaltender value rankings for Saturday, March 12:
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Quick (LA) | vs. NJ | 9 |
| Cam Talbot (EDM) | vs. ARI | 9 |
| Chad Johnson (BUF) | vs. CAR | 8 |
| Roberto Luongo (FLA) | vs. PHI | 8 |
| Craig Anderson (OTT) | vs. TOR | 8 |
New Jersey is the lowest scoring team in the NHL, making Quick the closest thing you can get to a guaranteed win. LA happens to be one of the toughest teams to play against. Quick will have very high-ownership, making him an excellent cash game option.
Talbot has sported a save percentage above .940 in seven of his last eight games. He's priced as a low-tier goalie, despite his high probability of a win against the Coyotes. Edmonton's suspect defense will lead to plenty of shots against, making him a great tournament option.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) | at DET | 7 |
| Tuukka Rask (BOS) | vs. NYI | 6 |
| Pekka Rinne (NAS) | at VAN | 6 |
| Semyon Varlamov (COL) | at WPG | 6 |
| Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) | at DET | 6 |
| Devan Dubnyk (MIN) | at MTL | 6 |
| Steve Mason (PHI) | at FLA | 5 |
| Jake Allen (STL) | at DAL | 5 |
| Antti Niemi (DAL) | vs. STL | 5 |
| Ondrej Pavelec (WPG) | vs. COL | 5 |
| Thomas Greiss (NYI) | at BOS | 5 |
| Cam Ward (CAR) | at BUF | 5 |
Thanks his strong play over his last 10 games (.930 save percentage, 2.30 GAA) Rask is now the highest priced goalie on most DFS providers. He's coming off an iffy performance against the Hurricanes and might not be worth the investment even though he's likely to pick up the win.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Ryan Miller (VAN) | vs. NAS | 4 |
| Garret Sparks (TOR) | at OTT | 4 |
| Martin Jones (SJ) | vs. WAS | 4 |
| Petr Mrazek (DET) | vs. NYR | 3 |
| Philipp Grubauer (WAS) | at SJ | 3 |
| Mike Condon (MTL) | vs. MIN | 3 |
| Mike Smith (ARI) | at EDM | 3 |
| Keith Kinkaid (NJ) | at LA | 2 |
