Goaliesthree-da
John Gibson, DET @ CAR (47% rostered) - FanDuel $7,000
Gibson and the Red Wings have a tough match up on the road against the Hurricanes. He comes into the contest red-hot in December, going 8-0-0 with two shutouts, a 2.12 goals-against average (GAA) and a .927 save percentage. Gibson and Cam Talbot have provided Detroit with solid netminder that have propelled the team from Hockeytown, USA up the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference standings.
Juuse Saros, NSH @ STL (85% rostered) - FanDuel $6,800
Saros and the Predators likely didn't want games to stop as they both have been on fire for the past month. Since November 28, Saros has an 8-2-0 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 10 appearances. In that span, he has made 278 saves, which ranks second in the NHL behind the Capitals' Logan Thompson. Saros' season marks still are not top-shelf, but the longer he remains on this streak, the better those numbers get daily.
Connor Ingram, EDM @ CGY (17% rostered) - FanDuel $7,400
Ingram comes into Saturday's contest having defeated the Flames the last game prior to the holiday break, stopping 18 of 19 shots in the win. He has started and won consecutive contests and is challenging Calvin Pickard for the starting goaltending job with Tristan Jarry (lower body) sidelined for several weeks. Role with Ingram while he is hot and seeing most of the action between the pipes for the Oilers.
