Wednesday, November 8th
It’s hump day and the National Hockey League has presented us with a three-game slate. The Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and the San Jose Sharks are your favorites, and none of the six teams in action are playing on consecutive nights.

NOTE: Make sure to check the RotoGrinders Starting Goalies Page page prior to game time, to confirm that the goalies listed below are starting.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers are the biggest favorites, which certainly puts Frederik Andersen and Henrik Lundqvist at the top of our cash game list. However, with Auston Matthews out with an injury, and with Lundqvist looking like a shell of his former self, neither goalie is a lock for the win tonight, which is why I will be strictly playing GPPs. In tournament play, Devan Dubnyk and Andrei Vasilevskiy rise to the top, as both netminders should see plenty of rubber and have a solid shot at a win. Dubynk is the cheaper option, but Vasilevskiy has been the better goalie this year. It is definitely a tough night to pick a goalie, so perhaps rolling with multiple options is the best bet in GPPs.
