Sabres' Robin Lehner: Facing lowly Avs on Saturday

Lehner will patrol the crease as Saturday's road starter versus the Avalanche, Paul Hamilton of WGR 550 reports.

Analysis:

This is a juicy matchup for Lehner as he prepares to face the league's worst team, but it can still be a bit nerve-wracking to stream a fantasy goalie who gets pitted against a spoiler. The Avalanche have lost three straight contests, albeit by a cumulative four-goal margin. Still, in daily leagues, you're likely to find high ownership percentages with Lehner -- which makes him "a chalky play" in fantasy circles. The Swede's last start was a dud, as he was ripped by the Blackhawks at home to the tune of five goals on 37 shots, but Lehner actually has a winning record of 9-7-3 away from Buffalo.
