Here are theScore's goaltender value rankings for Wednesday, October 21:

Value Rankings
C | W | D | G

# Name Opponent Risk
1 Petr Mrazek (DET) at EDM Low
2 Semyon Varlamov (COL) vs CAR Low

Mrazek and Varlamov are the only safe choices here - two good goaltenders with favorable matchups. Take your pick between these two.

# Name Opponent Risk
3 Tuukka Rask (BOS) vs PHI Medium
4 Jonathan Bernier (TOR) at BUF Medium
5 Steve Mason (PHI) at BOS Medium

None of these are particularily great options. The way Boston has started the season, it's probably best to stay away from Rask until his price tag comes down.

# Name Opponent Risk
6 Cam Talbot (EDM) vs DET High
7 Chad Johnson (BUF) vs TOR High
8 Cam Ward (CAR) at COL High

Unless you're in a contest that awards bonus points for your goalie getting pulled, stay away from these guys.
