THE GOALIE EDGE: 3/24/2014 primepucks.com Mon 3/24/14 1:50 PM

ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT THE TIME OF PRINT The Phoenix Coyotes head into Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers. The Yotes will go with Mike Smith as they try to solidify their hold on the 8th playoff position while the Rangers will go with Henrik Lundqvist, who has found his form after a slow start to the season. The Rangers are streaking of late as they try to gain ground for that 4th playoff seed which will give them home ice advantage at least for the first round. Tough match as both goaltenders are on their game.  Advantage to the Blueshirts.....Another good match tonight between two teams gearing up for the playoffs; the Los Angeles Kings visiting Philadelphia to play the Flyers.  Jonathan Quick (LIKELY) gets the call as he will face a hot Flyers team that is 8-1-1 in last ten. Steve Mason has won 4 in a row and has been the answer for Philadelphia in net this season, but Ray Emery gets the nod tonight. This will be Emery's fourth start in the past 21 games.  Philly has been hot, but so has LA.  Tough to call.....Peter Budaj and the Montreal Canadiens head into Boston to take on Tuukka Rask (LIKELY) and the Eastern Conference leading Bruins. The Bruins are winners of 12 straight.  Will 13 be unlucky for he B's?  These two rivals are meeting for the fourth and final time this season and the Habs have a 2-1-0 record.  Should be a doozy as Budaj has played well against the B's this season....Ben Bishop (LIKELY) gets the call against his former team, the Ottawa Senators. Robin Lehner will be called upon again despite losing 5 in a row because Craig Anderson is still out.  Tampa Bay should win at home against a struggling Sens team....Al Montoya will again pilot the Winnipeg Jets as they head to Dallas to take on the Kari Lehtonen and the Stars. The Stars haled a 4-game losing streak against the Senators on Saturday and need to carry that effort forward if they want to make the playoffs.  The Jets still are in reach of that last playoff spot but need to get on a winning streak to make up the ground but starting a 5-game road trip, it will be difficult to do....In the nightcap, San Jose visits Calgary to take on Karri Ramo and the hard-working Flames who are surprising a few people of late with the way they are playing. Ramo gets the nod in consecutive games for the first time since the end of January.  The Flames are 6-4-0 in last ten games.  It won't be easy for Alex Stalock (LIKELY) but the Sharks have their sites on the Conference title.  FANTASY MUST STARTS: Ben Bishop, Tampa Bay vs. Ottawa Kari Lehtonen, Dallas vs. Winnipeg SLEEPER: Karri Ramo, Calgary vs. San Jose Peter Budaj, Montreal @ Boston DAILY GOALIE PICKS: Steve: (87-57) Ben Bishop Ray: (84-60) Ben Bishop Mike: (68-48) TBA
