Goalie Rankings
Streaming Targets 🎯
Antti Raanta (CAR) — vs. OTT (11% Owned)
Carolina will likely go with Raanta tonight after Frederik Andersen manned the crease in a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday. Raanta is widely available across most leagues and, assuming he gets the start tonight, makes for the best streaming option of the evening. Raanta has played in 11 games this season and has a 6-2-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and one shutout.
The Hurricanes are -236 road favourites against an Ottawa team that also played last night and will again be without Drake Batherson (ankle) and Josh Norris (shoulder). The Hurricanes are currently first in the Metropolitan Division and only have one regulation loss in their last nine games (7-1-1).
Jeremy Swayman (BOS) — vs. PIT (30% Owned)
This will mark the first start for Swayman since a 3-2 loss against the Minnesota Wild on January 6th. Shortly after, Swayman was sent down to the minors to make room for Tuukka Rask after returning from off-season hip surgery. Rask’s comeback attempt has since been put on pause after suffering a setback, leaving his future with the team uncertain and giving Swayman another opportunity to see a heavy workload for the Bruins.
Swayman will look to improve on his 8-6-2 record this season against a visiting Pittsburgh team that has lost four straight (0-1-3) and will be without Evgeni Malkin (COVID-19).
