Who Is the Starting Goalie Tonight?
The cards above show the expected goalie for each game on today's NHL slate. Use the Tomorrow tab to look ahead, filter by team, or switch between DraftKings and FanDuel to see DFS salaries when they are available. Check the NHL schedule for puck drop times, since a starter can still change before the game.
Projected vs. Confirmed Starters
A projected goalie is the expected starter, but the team has not made the assignment official. A confirmed goalie has been reported as the starter for that game. Teams often settle on their starter after the morning skate, and some wait until closer to puck drop, so recheck the cards on game day. Backups commonly play on the second night of a back-to-back, so do not assume the usual No. 1 goalie will start.
What the Goalie Stats Mean
- W-L-T: the goalie's season record in wins, losses and overtime losses.
- GAA: goals-against average, or goals allowed per 60 minutes. Lower is better.
- Save%: the share of shots on goal a goalie stops. A .915 mark means 91.5% saved.
- SO: shutouts, or games finished without allowing a goal.
- Salary: the DFS price on the selected platform, when available.
Read GAA and save percentage together, since team defense affects both. Early in the season, one or two games can swing these numbers a lot, so treat small samples with caution.
Which Goalie to Start in Fantasy
Confirm the starter first, then weigh the opponent, expected shot volume and salary. A goalie who faces more shots has more chances to earn save points, and more chances to allow goals. Check your contest's scoring rules, because the value of wins, saves, goals allowed and shutouts differs by platform.
Pair your goalie choice with NHL fantasy projections for your skaters, and use NHL line combinations to see which forwards and defensemen share the ice. To size up the opposing offense, compare teams in the NHL team rankings. If you also follow the market, the latest NHL odds show how sportsbooks view each game.

No. A projected listing is an expected starter. Wait for confirmation before relying on that goalie in your lineup.
There is no fixed time. Many teams confirm after the morning skate, while others wait until closer to puck drop.
Not by itself. Compare GAA with save percentage, sample size, the opponent and team defense.
