Here are theScore's goaltender value rankings for Friday, November 6:
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frederik Andersen (ANA) | vs. CLB | Low |
| 2 | Kari Lehtonen (DAL) | at CAR | Low |
| 3 | Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) | at COL | Low |
| 4 | Cory Schneider (NJ) | vs. CHI | Medium |
| 5 | Petr Mrazek (DET) | at TOR | Medium |
Andersen gets a home game against the Blue Jackets. He may not have the wins, but Andersen has all the peripheral stats to make him a decent DFS option. With the matchup against Columbus being the most favorable on the slate, he's the best play.
Niemi and Lundqvist follow despite being on the road. They match up really well against their competition and shouldn't face much trouble. Niemi's lower price tag makes him a more appealing value option. Petr Mrazek is worth a look in Toronto as the Leafs continue to be terrible.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Corey Crawford (CHI) | at NJ | Medium |
| 7 | Jeff Zatkoff (PIT) | at EDM | Medium |
| 8 | Anders Nilsson (EDM) | vs. PIT | High |
| 9 | Reto Berra (COL) | vs. NYR | High |
| 10 | Eddie Lack (CAR) | vs. DAL | High |
| 11 | Curtis McElhinney (CLB) | at ANA | High |
| 12 | James Reimer (TOR) | vs. DET | High |
Zatkoff has a strong team in front of him making him an appealing option despite his limited NHL experience. As well, Edmonton still has Taylor Hall, who has been scoring at will most of the season.
That said, don't go for his opposite in Edmonton. While Nilsson, Berra and Ward all have home-ice advantage, they aren't really worth their risks. The opposing offenses carry too much firepower, especially the Stars. McElhinney is an interesting proposition since the Ducks can't score, but Columbus can't be trusted to generate much offense itself.
