Here are theScore's goaltender value rankings for Thursday, October 22:

Value Rankings
C | W | D | G

# Name Opponent Risk
1 Martin Jones (SJ) vs LA Low
2 Andrew Hammond (OTT) vs NJ Low
3 Pekka Rinne (NAS) vs ANA Low
4 Devan Dubnyk (MIN) vs CLB Low
5 Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) vs ARI Low
6 Braden Holtby (WAS) at VAN Low
7 Corey Crawford (CHI) vs FLA Low

Jones' phenomenal play as a Shark hasn't transferred into a high DFS price. His home matchup against Los Angeles' second-worst offense is almost impossible to pass up.

Meanwhile, the Hamburglar is back! Hammond, who went 20-1-2 with a .941 save percentage last season, gets the call at home against an offensively-challenged Devils squad.

# Name Opponent Risk
8 Marc-Andre Fleury (PIT) vs DAL Medium
9 Roberto Luongo (FLA) at CHI Medium
10 Antti Niemi (DAL) at PIT Medium
11 Ryan Miller (VAN) vs WAS Medium
12  Frederik Andersen (ANA) at NAS Medium
13 Jonathan Quick (LA) at SJ Medium

Dallas, Chicago and Pittsburgh are sleeping bears waiting to be awakened from hibernation. Poke them at your own risk.

# Name Opponent Risk
14 Cory Schneider (NJ) at OTT High
15 Mike Smith (ARI) at NYR High
16 Sergei Bobrovsky (CLB) at MIN High

There's simply no need to even look at any of these goalies with all of the other great matchups available. Smith has been great but he'll be in tough on the road against the Rangers.
