Monday, October 23rd
We have a pretty quiet Monday night on deck with just two games of National Hockey League action. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers are your favorites, and none of the four teams hitting the ice are playing on consecutive nights.

Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) & Frederik Andersen (TOR) – It is yet another night where I really don’t feel comfortable going all-in on any goaltender. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the biggest favorite tonight, but that game could end up being high scoring, and I am not sure I trust the San Jose Sharks on the road, or Henrik Lundqvist (3.00 GAA, .907 SV%) at the moment. In other words, this looks like a night where we are best to focus on tournaments. Frederik Andersen is always a great GPP option, as the Maple Leafs should be able to provide him with enough offense for the win, and he could easily to see 40 shots in this contest. Both Martin Jones and Henrik Lundqvist have big potential as well, in a game that could go either way. Even though King Henrik has struggled this season, I would give him edge, as he is likely to see more shots.
