Each day, one of our NHL experts will be providing recommended player picks for your daily fantasy hockey lineups. The goal is to help you build the optimal cash game (50/50s/double-ups/head-to-head) lineup.

Wednesday, February 7th

As we hit the mid-week point the National Hockey League presents us with a typically quiet three-game slate on this Wednesday evening. The Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs are tonight’s favorites, and the Boston Bruins are the only team 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.

Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings – The Boston Bruins are the biggest favorite on the board tonight, but I prefer not to roster cash game goalies on the road, and we know the New York Rangers can score, which has me rolling with Jonathan Quick on this three-game slate. Despite having arguably the best player on the world, the Edmonton Oilers have struggled to score goals all season long (21st in goals per game), and it does not appear they are figuring things out anytime soon (30th in goals per game this month). Quick has been rock solid at home this year (2.36 GAA, .922 SV%), and I think we see another strong performance from him this evening at the Staples Center.
