Backup Goalie Looks to Stay Unbeaten at Home
Laurent Brossoit has been a pleasant surprise for the Jets this year, and by all accounts has outplayed the starter, Connor Hellebuyck, albeit in far fewer starts. Brossoit is 9-1-1 on the year with a 2.10 GAA and .939 SV%. Both of these would lead the league if he had enough starts to qualify. At home, he's even better with a 4-0-0 record and 1.97 GAA and .947 SV%. He faces a Vegas team who is much better at home, so I expect him to pick up the win at home.
Netminder looks to end team's five game losing streak
After winning 10 games in a row, the Sabres have dropped five consecutive games including an ugly 6-2 loss against the Flyers on Sunday as Philadelphia scored six unanswered goals. Hosting the Los Angeles Kings could not come at a better time for Buffalo and Linus Ullmark. The Kings have just four wins in 13 attempts on the road, and they check in as a heavy underdog, even with Buffalo on a slide. Linus Ullmark's price on FanDuel ($7,700) jumps out as Buffalo should bounce back tonight. On DraftKings ($7,900), Ullmark is also in play though his price is clustered around more reliable names like Pekka Rinne, Frederik Andersen and so on. The Kings put up 43 shots last night, and while they're unlikely to duplicate that tonight, they should send 30-plus shots Ullmark's way. So long as the Buffalo defense doesn't make silly mistakes, Ullmark should have a strong start.
On FanDuel, Laurent Brossoit who will get the call against the Blackhawks is another fine alternative at the same price as Ullmark, so if building multiple lineups, gaining some exposure makes a lot of sense.
