Former NHL netminder Mike McKenna provides his Daily Faceoff Starting Goalie Matchup of the Day for Tue. Jan. 3, 2023: Why I like this matchup: Saros has been red hot in goal for the Predators. And Montembeault has stolen several wins for Montreal. What to watch for: In his last nine appearances, Saros hasn’t posted a save percentage below 90 percent. For me, he’s been the most consistent goaltender in the NHL dating back to American Thanksgiving. I’m a huge fan of Saros’ skating ability. And right now I think he’s tracking the puck extremely well. Saros is finding lanes through traffic and an ..read more

Every year, there’s always one unheralded goaltender that steals the hearts of hockey fans around the globe. Switzerland’s Benjamin Conz in 2010. Slovakia’s Denis Godla in 2015. Sebastian Wraneschitz in 2020. Those three come to mind as some of the tournament’s most incredible goaltending standouts in recent memory. All brought smaller teams to the forefront, with the first two even battling for medals in fights they wouldn’t have had a chance in otherwise. But none of them were drafted. Conz and Godla have gone on to have solid careers in Europe, but neither have made a big impact on the inte ..read more

Former NHL netminder Mike McKenna provides his Daily Faceoff Starting Goalie Matchup of the Day for Mon. Jan. 2, 2022: Why I like this matchup: Thompson and Georgiev have both been challenged recently by their head coaches to find another gear. What to watch for: It seems crazy to think any NHL goaltender with a .915 save percentage is somehow underperforming. But in Georgiev’s case, he’s allowed 14 goals in his past three outings. The Avalanche netminder has strong instincts but at times he can lose structure. And over the past few games, I’ve seen him falling back into an old habit of retrea ..read more

RISERS Antti Raanta, G, Carolina Hurricanes (OWNED: 50%) The 33-year-old made 24 stops on Sunday in Newark to notch his sixth consecutive victory. On top of that, Raanta posted back-to-back shutouts last week against Chicago and Florida, respectively, for the red-hot Canes, who’ve won 11 in a row. For now, just ride the hot hand. Once Frederik Andersen returns, it’s going to be a crowded crease in Carolina once again. Playing time will be hard to come by for Raanta. Phillip Danault, C, Los Angeles Kings (OWNED: 30%) Over a seven-game point streak, the former Canadiens centre has tallied five g ..read more
