On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.
9 games for Sunday, April 13
Ivan Fedotov, PHI at Linus Ullmark, OTT (1 p.m. ET)
Tristan Lennox, NYI at Jacob Markstrom, NJ (1 p.m. ET)
Jeremy Swayman, BOS at Tristan Jarry, PIT (3:30 p.m. ET)
Joseph Woll, TOR at Frederik Andersen, CAR (5 p.m. ET)
James Reimer, BUF at Andrei Vasilevskiy, TB (6 p.m. ET)
Daniil Tarasov, CBJ at Charlie Lindgren, WSH (6 p.m. ET)
Stuart Skinner, EDM at Eric Comrie, WPG (7 p.m. ET)
Alexandar Georgiev, SJ at Dustin Wolf, CGY (8 p.m. ET)
Scott Wedgewood, COL at Lukas Dostal, ANA (10 p.m. ET)
Goalies
Tristan Jarry, PIT vs. BOS (24% rostered)
Neither team has much to play for, but note Jarry is going for his fourth straight win and has allowed five goals in his past three games. The Pens have won four of their past six while the Bruins have been sliding to the bottom of the standings for the better part of the past two months.
On home ice where the Pens are 20-14-5 and with Jarry allowing just one goal on 31 shots (.968 SP), Jarry is a good risk to take. The Pens are the stronger club even if they’re missing several role players up front, and the Bruins defense and goaltending has been vulnerable all season.
Scott Wedgewood, COL at ANA (19% rostered)
Wedgewood will get the Avs’ season finale and get a chance to earn his third straight win. Even with a depleted offensive lineup, the Avs mustered four goals against the Kings on Saturday, so scoring goals shouldn’t be a big issue. The Ducks tend to be a low-scoring team – they rank 28th in goals per game – and they’ve beaten the Avs in regulation just once in their past 15 (!) meetings dating back to March 2021.
Wedgewood should be a popular streaming target and for good reason. He should be in line for a win and a good save percentage.
Eric Comrie, WPG vs. EDM (7% rostered)
This is a tough matchup against a tough offensive team and the Jets are playing their second game in two nights. They weren’t particularly sharp against the Hawks on Saturday and needed extra time to win the game. Comrie, however, has been excellent all season with nine wins in 19 starts and a .914 SP. Comrie has just one career start against the Oilers, and it was arguably the best game of his career – a 46-save performance in a 4-2 win with the Sabres on Oct. 18, 2022.
There’s definitely a potential for a win, especially with the Oilers defense so depleted. Stuart Skinner is expected to start, and he might be rusty after a long layoff. There’s definitely some risk here, but Comrie’s track record this season makes him a viable option even if it’s an intimidating opponent.
Charlie Lindgren, WSH vs. CBJ (44% rostered)
This is a revenge game for the Caps after losing 7-0 on Saturday in the first game of their home-and-home series. Hunter Shepard started that game in his first appearance of the season and it was, uh, not good. The Caps are 26-8-6 at home and the Jackets are 12-23-4 on the road this season. All signs point toward a Caps revenge win.
Lindgren hasn’t been sharp and he’ll likely allow a few goals against a pretty good Jackets offense, but the Caps should come out with a stronger effort and earn the win. Tempers flared Saturday after Ryan Leonard suffered a stiff check, and that will likely carryover to this game where the Caps have the advantage on home ice. Lindgren should be a good pick for a win.
James Reimer, BUF at TB (8% rostered)
Reimer’s played like the No. 1 for the Sabres down the stretch and this is an intriguing matchup. Even though the Lightning are clearly the superior team, they’ve had tons of trouble beating the Sabres in past seasons, beating them just twice in their past eight meetings and losing four times in extra time. They’re close games and this one should be, too. The Sabres have not lost in regulation since March 29 while the Lightning have lost four of their past five.
Reimer’s career numbers (8-12-4, .897 SP, 3.21 GAA) against the Lightning does not instill confidence but the trends say this will be a close game. Reimer has been able to rack up the saves but the Sabres are still underdogs according to NHL.com’s odds.
Ivan Fedotov, PHI at OTT (5% rostered)
Either Fedotov, who allowed just one goal on 29 shots (.966 SP) in a win against the Preds in his previous start, or Aleksei Kolosov, who also won in his previous start but allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SP). These matinee games can be tricky, but with five wins in their past six games, the Flyers come into this game with a fair amount of momentum while the Sens may elect to rest players after clinching.
The performance of Flyers goalies can be really volatile, and in their past two meetings, at least one of them has scored five goals. The Flyers’ momentum could propel them to a win, but the results are unpredictable. Fedotov (or Kolosov) would only be worthwhile if fantasy managers want to get an early start regardless of the result or a good save percentage.
