Fantasy Hockey Goalie News
Ok so everyday we will be posting the probable starters in the Goalie Position for all you fantasy hockey players other there.
So here are the ones for January 8, 2007:
Dwayne Roloson, Edmonton Oilers - Roloson is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Kings. Probably of start occuring: 80%
Mathieu Garon, Los Angeles Kings - Garon is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Oilers. Probabily of start occuring: 90%
Peter Budaj, Colorado Avalanche - Budaj has seemingly become the #1 goalie in Colorado, reports the Denver Post. He has started five straight games in place of Jose Theodore and coach Joel Quenneville, while not ready to endorse him as the #1 goalie, described Budaj's play as "rock solid". It's tough to say what will happen over the next few weeks, but one thing is certain - if Budaj continues to play as well as he has thus far, it will be very hard for Theodore to win back his job. We wouldn't drop Theodore in fantasy leagues just yet but if there is someone else enticing sitting there waiting to be picked up, go ahead and do it.
Tomas Vokoun, Nashville Predators - Vokoun is scheduled to make his first start on Tuesday since tearing ligaments in his thumb in late November, reports the Nashville Tennessean. He will probably end up alternating starts with Chris Mason for the first week or two before reclaiming his spot as the team's top goalie. This will all but render Mason's fantasy value useless but he is still worthy of a spot on your fantasy team as insurance to Vokoun. There's also the remote chance that Mason and Vokoun split starts for the rest of the season or the even smaller chance that Mason outperforms Vokoun to the point where the team appoints him their full-time starter.
