NOTE: Make sure to check the RotoGrinders Starting Goalies Page page prior to game time, to confirm that the goalies listed below are starting.

Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue JacketsSergei Bobrovsky has sparkled recently, winning his last three starts while allowing just two goals. Bobrovsky and the Blue Jackets draw an excellent matchup against a Buffalo team averaging the fewest goals per game (2.30) in the National Hockey League. Buffalo has scored a just single goal in four of their last five games, and despite playing on home ice, they will likely struggle to crack Bobrovsky who is 11-4-1 (2.02 GAA, .933 SV%) on the season. Earlier this season, Sergei silenced the Sabres for just a goal while stopping 34 of the 35 shots sent his way. Secure a bundle of saves and a win with this stud goalie.
