Starting Goalies - Wednesday, March 28, 2012

[Mike]

Part of winning in fantasy hockey is choosing the right goalie each night. Will you pick the right ones tonight? This is the place to discuss your lineup decisions. There are six games on the schedule for today.

All of tonight's game will play a role in shaping the playoff picture for April. The New York Rangers will be trying to hold onto the 1st seed in the East as they face the Winnipeg Jets tonight in the early game.

The Western conference 3rd, 7th, and 8th seeds are completely up for grabs. LA, Colorado, Dallas, Calgary, and San Jose are all in the fight and all play tonight.

I'll be watching to see if Cory Schneider plays the spoiler role in the late game.

The list of possible outcomes is endless this time of year. Which game will you be following tonight?

We added two new tools during the All-Star break:

1. Goalie Profiles: e.g. Henrik Lundqvist

2. Goalie Start Index: a nightly rating system to help you choose which goalies to start.

Pick today's winners in our daily poll.

We've got tomorrow's starting goalies for you as well.

Post your comments, questions, and confirmations about today's goalies in this thread.

Mason took a puck to the mask in practice and had to leave. He will be monitored by the team and a decision on his start will be made later. He was originally confirmed as tonight's starting goalie. We've downgraded him to 'probable' from 'confirmed' due to the incident. Stay tuned.

The Blue Jackets have signed Shawn Hunwick so that he can backup York tonight.

Mason is injured as I noted above.

With what happened to Fleury and the fact that my opponent has Brian Elliot, I can basically start my goalies at will since I am so far behind. My goal now is to take the wins category. If I get a SO, that is just an added bonus. My opponent also has Kipper. I am hoping that my goalies get all the starts this week.
