MacDonald is expected to start the remainder of the season with Kipper likely retiring.

MacDonald has been a serviceable backup to Kiprusoff and is being rewarded as such. MacDonald is, however, an unreliable fantasy goaltender.

MacDonald has started 3 of 4 for the Flames, winning all three. His SV% is 31 pts better than Kipper's but is still probably not worth starting tonight.

That's two straight starts for JoeyMac with Kipper sitting on the bench - likely frustrating fantasy owners everywhere. MacDonald hopes to build off of his 3-2 OT win yesterday vs. Phoenix.

MacDonald played very well allowing just one goal on 40 shots in a win on Monday. He has a decent matchup tomorrow vs. the Coyotes, but playing a Flames goalie at this time of the year is risky.

MacDonald allowed eight goals on 39 shots against Edmonton in his last start. His last win was on March 27th against Colorado, who he faces tonight. He is 1-1-0 with a 4.05 GAA and .879 SV% vs. the Avalanche this year.

MacDonald allowed one goal on 14 shots in a relief effort of Miikka Kiprusoff on Monday. He will start tonight against an Oilers team who have won four straight.

MacDonald has not started since March 18th, he allowed four goals on 24 shots in a 4-3 loss to Dallas. He could be a decent spot start tonight against an Avalanche team who have lost six of their last seven games.

MacDonald will start and will be backed-up by Danny Taylor because Kiprusoff is back in Calgary with his wife as they welcome a new baby boy. MacDonald lost his last start allowing two goals on 21 shots on March 11th. He has a decent matchup tonight vs. the Stars.
