Given his numbers this year Kipper is a tough start but a struggling Nashville squad could be the antidote. The lineup in front of him is borderline AHL caliber though.

Joey MacDonald has played in the Flames' last 3 games and the season has taken a weird turn for Kiprusoff. However, the cards

Friday's game is the Flames' final home game of the season and likely Kipper's last in the NHL.

Kipper will have the ability to play in the Flames' two final home games - likely the last two of his career.

Kiprusoff hasn't won since March 24th. In his last start he allowed four goals on 21 shots as the Flames lost 5-2. Kiprusoff is not the goalie that he used to be and the Flames are bad, he is not a reliable fantasy option.

Kiprusoff allowed just two goals on 41 shots but still got the loss yesterday vs. the Sharks. The Flames are not a very good team which severely handicaps Kipper's fantasy value.
