ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT THE TIME OF PRINT Peter Budaj will take on Craig Anderson and the Ottawa Senators while Carey Price will go up against Detroit tomorrow night. You never know which Anderson you are going to get this year while Budaj has given steady performances as the Montreal Canadiens backup.  The Habs are 8-2-0 in last 10 while the Sens are just 4-5-1. Go Habs.... The winner in tonight's showdown between the New Jersey Devils and the Washington Capitals will improve their shot at possibly making the playoffs with just a handful of games remaining after tonight. Caps goalie Jaroslav Halak has lost 4 in a row and has not looked like the goalie he was while in St. Louis. Cory Schneider, on the other hand, looks to be regaining the form he had prior to the Olympic break where he was stellar in net but not receiving goal support. Schneider has gotten the Devils 5 points in his last 5 starts, losing in 2 shootouts and an overtime game to Minnesota.  Both teams playing spirited hockey, but I'll give the edge to Schneider.... Buddy, I mean Matthew Hackett will be in net for the Buffalo Sabres as they continue their road trip with a stop in Detroit.  The Red Wings have picked up their game lately winning 3 in a row and 6 of their last 10 to put themselves in good position to make the playoffs for the 23rd consecutive year. Jimmy Howard will protect the net once again for the Red Wings and should stretch the streak to 4.... Roberto Luongo returns to the net for the Florida Panthers as they take on very pesky Calgary Flames team. Joey MacDonald gets the call as the Flames are playing the back end of two in a row. Ramo has started 7 in a row and with back-to-back nights, MacDonald gets the draw. The Cats have lost 4 in a row and are just 2-7-1 in last ten games, showing signs that their minds are elsewhere.  Stay warm with the Flames..... Thomas Greiss of the Phoenix Coyotes will look to stop his personal, and the team's, 3-game losing streak tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.  The Coyotes have slipped from the eighth playoff position during this losing streak while the Dallas Stars have gone on a run, winning 5 of their last 7.  The Oilers may prove the right elixir as they have lost 6 of last 7.  Look for Ben Scrivens (LIKELY) to get the call for Edmonton..... Columbus has probably the toughest schedule of all the teams battling to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference but catch a break tonight as both the Blue ...

MacDonald allowed two goals on nine shots in relief of Joni Ortio on March 21st. He will get the start tonight in the second game of a back-to-back set for the Flames. They were victorious last night over the Lightning, and draw a strong matchup tonight vs. the Panthers. MacDonald has gone 4-4-1 with a 3.16 GAA and .881 SV% this season.

MacDonald is 3-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA and .885 SV% with the Flames this season. While in the AHL he is 5-10-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .909 SV%. He draws a tough matchup vs. the Stars who have won three games in a row while scoring 13 goals (4.33 G/PG).

There were several note-worthy performances by goaltenders last night which should garner attention from fantasy owners. In his first career NHL start, Swiss import Reto Berra back-stopped the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 OT victory over the Chicago Blackhawks by saving aside 42 of 44 shots. Considering the dismal state of goaltending affairs in Calgary, the 26-year old will get a long look in the crease for the Flames. Joey MacDonald was released and Karri Ramo has floundered since returning from the KHL. Starting goalies are hard to come by in fantasy, so maybe take a gamble on Berra, who despite not posting great numbers in the AHL or the Swiss League, has earned the confidence of Coach Hartley early on.. Minnesota's Josh Harding is quietly putting together an All-Star caliber season, going 7-2-1 with a 1.10 GAA and a .950 SP. His latest effort, a 19-save shutout of the New Jersey Devils last night, should earn him a few more starts, as the separation between him and Niklas Backstrom for the Wild starting job has dwindled. He is definitely worth a flier if you are in need of goalie help. And now for the "bad": Ottawa's Craig Anderson had stopped 33 of 36 shots in yesterday's afternoon tilt against Dallas before suffering a neck injury in overtime and being carried off in a stretcher after colliding with Stars forward Valeri Nichuskin. The 32-year old, along with his team, is off to a rocky start with unfriendly fantasy numbers: 4-4-2, 3.14 GAA, and a .912 SP. We liked his chances to turn it around soon and represent a huge "buy low" opportunity for fantasy owners, but things just got worse for Anderson. We wish him a speedy recovery and hopefully, the injury turns out less severe than it initially seemed. Keep your eye on: Kris Russell of Calgary. Just hours after writing about him in our latest edition of ADD'EM, the 26-year old defenseman confirmed our high fantasy hopes by tallying the overtime game-winner against Chicago. He is getting tons of quality ice-time alongside Dennis Wideman on the Flames' primary defensive pairing, and the points are now coming. While it's uncertain whether he can maintain this offensive production for the long-term, he is worth a roster spot until Mark Giordano returns from his broken ankle injury.

MacDonald is 3-3-1 with a 3.16 GAA and .885 SV% this season. It would not be surprising if a team with goalie trouble (ex. NSH) claims MacDonald.

MacDonald allowed three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Coyotes on October 22nd. He will take on his former team, the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. It is a tough matchup for MacDonald, so I would look elsewhere on a busy Friday around the league.

Quiet night for fantasy owners as some of the biggest names in the NHL were shut down by some top-notch goaltending. Antti Niemi silenced the Detroit Red Wings on the road with a 24-save shutout performance in the 1-0 SO win. Jimmy Howard did the same, but Sharks prevailed in the shoot-out thanks to an insane stop by Niemi on Todd Bertuzzi's last attempt. Last year's Vezina finalist is unquestionably among the fantasy elite, having gone 8-0-1 with a 1.64 and a .930 SP so far. Owners should continue to start the Finn workhorse with confidence. Meanwhile, Colorado backup J.S. Giguere helped the Avalanche take the battle of 7-1 teams in Pittsburgh with a 34-save shutout. One goal decided this "barnburner", as Av's captain Gabriel Landeskog notched the game-winner, his third of the season. Giguere's numbers now stand at 3-0, .067 GAA and .981 SP. The veteran is off to a fantastic start, but the starting job in Colorado belongs to Semyon Varlamov. "Cammy" returns for Calgary: All of a sudden, the Calgary Flames have fantasy options galore as they continue to amaze with their surprising hot start. Last night's victims, the Los Angeles Kings, were foiled by a late T.J. Brodie power-play game-winner in the 3-2 Flame's win. Winger Mike Cammalleri scored a goal and an assist in his season debut, while Jiri Hudler, with 2 assists and 11 points overall in eight games, is on a eight-game point streak. These two forwards are worth snapping off the waiver-wire, as they will play a huge role on the offense, especially with the man-advantage. Rookie sensation Sean Monahan can still be sent down after 10 games, but his eye-popping numbers (6G/3A in 8GP) will make that decision extremely difficult. And what about Mark Giordano? After falling off the fantasy map last season, the new Calgary captain leads the blueline with nine points in seven games. A real fantasy sleeper could be goalie Karri Ramo, who has plenty of untapped upside but had a few shaky starts before his solid win over the Kings last night. Just know this- if the Flames are to shock the hockey world this year, either Ramo or Joey MacDonald needs to step up. Pittsburgh forward  center Sidney Crosby finally had a game where he did not score a point.  Crosby has 17 points in 9 games, and he will almost assuredly win the NHL scoring title if he stays healthy.

MacDonald allowed three goals on 22 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Ducks on Wednesday. He will have a decent chance to chalk up his fourth win on Tuesday vs. Phoenix.
