The Hurricanes are struggling mightily right now and it has all but killed Peters' and Ellis' fantasy values. Peters has just one win in his last five starts with a 3.23 GAA and .895 SV%. He has a fairly tough matchup vs. a red-hot Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.

Canes pulled the old Switcheroo. Peters ended up starting.
Peters stopped all eight shots he faced in a relief effort on Saturday. He will be in net tonight against a tough Bruins team. The Hurricanes have struggled mightily as of late and will be without Alex Semin. I would look elsewhere.
Peters played very well allowing just one goal on 35 shots including some spectacular saves in a 3-1 win over the Jets on Saturday. He has a tough matchup vs. Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens.
Peters allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. He will be back in net this afternoon vs. the Jets. Peters could make for a good spot start today.

With Dan Ellis still on IR and John Muse yet to play an NHL game, Peters will get the nod tonight in Toronto. Peters has allowed four goals in each of his last two games, which has pushed his GAA up to 3.00. He has a fairly tough matchup against a gritty Maple Leafs team who seem to compete every night.
With Dan Ellis and Cam Ward both out with injuries, Peters is the last man standing for the starters job. He has a decent matchup vs. the Jets, and could be worth a pickup since he is likely to get all the starts while Ellis is out.
Peters is 2-1-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .926 SV% since being called up because of Cam Ward's injury. He has a good matchup tonight vs. a struggling Lightning team.
Peters is 1-1-0 with a 3.53 GAA and .897 SV% since coming up because of Cam Ward's injury. He has a decent matchup vs. the Capitals tonight.
Peters was great in his first start of the season stopping 37 of the 40 shots (.925 SV%) that he faced. He has a tough matchup vs. a solid Habs team, however Carey Price has allowed 12 goals in his last two starts, so it is a winnable game for Peters.
The Hurricanes will begin life without Cam Ward tonight and it will be Peters who gets the nod vs. Buffalo. Peters was 22-12-1 with a 2.29 GAA and .921 SV% in the AHL this season. He is 26 years-old so he isn't a rookie stepping between the pipes so he could make for a decent spot-start vs. the Sabres tonight.
Peters performed admirably while Cam Ward was sidelined but he falls victim to the numbers game. No reason to own the AHL starter.
In three career appearances against the Panthers, Peters has a 2-1-0 record with a 2.36 GAA and .919 SV%.

Peters is coming off his first career shutout so he might get an opportunity to stay with the team. The 25-year-old has done pretty much all he can at the AHL level.
In two career starts against the Caps, Peters is 1-1-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .909 SV%.
