Goalie Rankings
Streaming Targets 🎯
Pavel Francouz (COL) – @ NYI (40% Owned)
Francouz has played in five of the last 10 games for the Colorado Avalanche and has a 2-2-1 record with a .917 SV%. Going in for relief of Darcy Kuemper on Saturday, he made 21 of 22 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss and will return to the crease tonight in a matchup against the New York Islanders. Francouz’s game has trailed off a bit from his 7-1-0, .927 SV% start to the season, but he remains a great start tonight against an Islanders team that ranks 31st in goals scored and will once again be without star-forward Mathew Barzal.
Spencer Knight (FLA) – @ BUF (39% Owned)
Entering the season, Knight was looked at as a possible Calder Trophy finalist but after a terrible start, recording a .892 SV% in his first 13 games (6-4-2), he has spent most of his time alternating between backing up Sergei Bobrovsky and playing in the AHL. Tonight will only mark Knight’s sixth start since the end of December (3-2-0) but he has been much improved in that time, posting a .913 SV%. During his time in the AHL, the 20-year-old played very well, going 7-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA, .917 SV% and two shutouts.
The Florida Panthers are huge -341 road favourites tonight against a Buffalo Sabres team that was shut out yesterday and has lost seven of their last nine (2-7-0). Knight will probably continue to see limited action down the stretch but should make for a great streaming option tonight.
