Sergei Bobrosvky, Columbus Blue Jackets – Sergei Bobrosvky has been the best goaltender in the National Hockey League this year, and with a favorable matchup on deck, he instantly becomes our top cash game option on this 10-game slate. After a hot start to the season, the Devils have struggled to score, and since they are a one-line team offensively, the Blue Jackets should have no trouble limiting their scoring chances. Bobrosvky may not see a ton of shots in this game, but he is a lock for the all-important win, and there is shutout potential here. If you are not sold on Bobrovksy, Tampa Bay Lightning’s goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is also a fine choice.
