With nine games tonight in the National Hockey League there seems to be a lot of backup goalie action. With that in mind, take a look at the matchups and see if anything sticks out to you that’s worthy of a goalie spot start. There are a lot of goalie injuries right now, so a spot start may be just what you are looking for.
Starting Goalies:
(TOR) Bernier VS (NYI) Halak (ANA) Gibson VS (CAR) Ward (EDM) Fasth VS (MTL) Tokarski (PIT) Greiss VS (OTT) Lehner (STL) Elliott VS (TBL) Bishop (WPG) Hutchinson VS (NSH) Rinne (FLA) Luongo VS (MIN) Dubnyk (NYR) Talbot VS (COL ) Varlamov (CLG) Hiller VS (LA) Quick
Let’see how Winnipeg looks after the big trade as they face off versus a tough opponent in Nashville.
Spot starts:
I like Tokarski vs the Oilers and I like Greiss vs the Senators.
Enjoy tonight’s action and thanks again for reading.
