Tuesday, January 16th
It is another somewhat quiet Tuesday night in the National Hockey League, with just six games of action on tap. The Toronto Maple Leafs, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks are your biggest favorites, and we have three teams (Dallas Stars, New York Islanders and the San Jose Sharks) playing on the tail end of a back-to-back.

Aaron Dell, San Jose Sharks – It’s kind of an ugly slate in terms of finding a reliable option in goal for your cash game lineup. With that being said, I will likely be rolling with San Jose Sharks goaltender Aaron Dell. Even though San Jose played last night in Los Angeles, I still expect them to control this game from puck drop, and the Sharks should easily come away with the win. The Arizona Coyotes may be home and rested, but they are still not an offensive threat (ranking 30th overall in the National Hockey League in goals per game this year), and Dell has been terrific in goal for the Sharks this season, posting a 2.29 GAA and a .924 SV%. Dell may not be the highest scoring goalie on the night, but he appears to be the safest.
