EDGE Analysis
Lindbackhas has performed admirably in his four appearances this season, posting a 1.67 GAA and .933 save percentage thus far. He'll get the start Monday, facing a Ducks club that has scored just 1.50 goals per game thus far, ranking last in the league.

Lindback was forced into Saturday evening's game against the Rangers and stopped 12 of 13 shots in the eventual 4-1 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Lindback, who let in one goal on a Rangers power play, wasn't credited with the loss, as that decision belonged to Mike Smith, who allowed 14 goals on 17 shots through 25:36 TOI. Backup goalies generally aren't coveted in fantasy hockey, but Lindback is a decent buy-low candidate in case he ends up stealing more minutes from the struggling Smith.

Lindback made 17 saves on 19 shots in relief of Mike Smith Friday against Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the third appearance of the season for Lindback, who was credited with the loss. He won't see much action behind Mike Smith, but his .935 save percentage is impressive. Keep in mind though that he's only faced 62 shots, so it'll likely drop once he sees more action. After posting a .924 save percentage last season with the Sabres, Lindback can be seen as a decent backup option this season in Arizona.

Lindback made 35 saves in his first start of the season to help the Coyotes to a 4-1 win over the Senators on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Hmmm ... could it be the Sean Burke effect? The Yotes' goalie coach has a way of building up big, but broken twinetenders and Lindback could be his next success. Arizona could have a nice problem on their hands if Burke is successful yet again, so put Lindback on your radar.

Lindback was the first goalie off the ice in the morning skate and appears set to be the starting goalie Saturday night against the Senators, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Puck blocker Mike Smith was the recepient of the first seven starts for the Coyotes, but the team should give backup Lindback the starting nod Saturday for the first time this season. Lindback did make a relief appearance on Oct. 15, stopping six of seven shots through 31:23 TOI in a loss to the Wild.

Lindback signed a one-year deal with the Coyotes on Wednesday, arizonasports.com reports.
Lindback, who has posted a career .905 save percentage and 2.83 goals against average in 111 NHL appearances to date, is now in line to back up Mike Smith next season. In his new team context, Lindback figures to be a hit-or-miss fanasy option when he is called upon by the Coyotes to start.

Lindback made 36 saves in a 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
He earned the game's third star for his efforts -- he really stood on his head at times. It's interesting that his numbers (GAA and save percentage) in sad-sack Buffalo (2.81, .923) are significantly better than what he delivered in supposedly-better Dallas this season (3.71, .875). We're not sure what it bodes for his future, as the Sabres will be bad for a few more years. But he does have some potential.

Lindback will be between the pipes for Saturday's game against the Penguins.
Matt Hackett was a candidate to draw a start for the season finale, but since he has only recently recovered from a bout with knee soreness, the Sabres decided it was for the best to stick with Lindback a second straight night. The loss to the Blue Jackets on Friday guaranteed that the Sabres would finish with the league's worst record, so there's plenty of incentive for Lindback and his mates to turn in a competitive performance Saturday, especially if it means preventing the visiting Penguins from reaching the playoffs. That being said, the Sabres don't match up favorably with the Penguins in the talent department, which will most likely force Lindback to end the season on a losing note.

Lindback stopped 36 of 39 shots in Friday's loss to the Blue Jackets.
An outstanding performance from Lindback, who lost for just the second time in five games. With the Sabres closing out the regular season Saturday, Lindback makes for an interesting fantasy play, as Buffalo is taking on the Penguins, who need two points in order to make the playoffs. While he's had a rough season, Lindback is finishing strong, having stopped 85 of the last 91 shots he's faced. If you're feeling like taking a gamble, Lindback could be worth a start against the desperate Penguins.

Lindback will be between the pipes for Friday's game against the Blue Jackets, John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports.
For all the talk of the Sabres' tanking to secure the league's worst record, Lindback has been doing his best to compromise those efforts. After a 49-save performance Monday to clip the Hurricanes, Lindback's record now stands at 4-6-2 to go along with an impeccable .923 save percentage over his 14 outings with the Sabres. The team's lack of offensive playmakers will still make Lindback the underdog Friday, but expect him to deliver another competitive showing. With the Sabres set to play again Saturday in their finale against the Penguins, Friday's outing could be the last of the season for Lindback.
