LA Kings' netminder Jonathan Quick hasn't been getting much goal support since his return so what does he go and do? He stops all 28 SOG and made Dustin Brown's goal seconds into the third period stand up as the game-winner and only goal of the game for his 13th win in 21 games. If there were any doubts if Quick was going to be able to return to his former elite self, those have been answered...Brown is a very streaky point-getter and can turn it on at any given point in time,but with just 16 points in 46 games, it would be risky to put your eggs in his basket at this time...Canuck backup goalie Eddie Lack also played well and deserved a better fate but Vancouver just couldn't get one past Quick. Lack's time as starting goalie is winding down as Roberto Luongo is nearing a return, but his performance shows that he is capable of taking the starting reins one day. More Fantasy Game Notes: There hasn't been a lot to be happy about in Calgary this season as they have started their rebuilding process but Karri Ramo gave the Flames' fans something to cheer about last night as he shut out the Carolina Hurricanes 2-0; putting an end to their three game losing streak. If you are desperate for goaltending help, Ramo is a risky pickup for this year but going forward may be worth the growing pains.  His record stands at 8-8-3 now with a 2.73 GAA and .904 SP which should improve as the team improves....By winning 4 games in a row since his return from injury, Anton Khudobin had people discussing what the Canes were going to do with their three-headed goaltending monster. Well, with two losses in a row, the goaltending situation is even more confusion since no one goaltender can grab the starter's role by the horns.  If you were to take an educated gamble, take Cam Ward. He has the most experience being a starter.  If you want to take a chance, take Khudobin.  Check out ROMIE HITS THE POST article for more on the Carolina goaltending situation.... Sean Monahan is having a superb rookie year as he potted his 13th goal of the season to seal the victory for Ramo and the Flames. With 19 points in 39 games played, he has a bright future ahead of him which should project into a 70-75 point Center....Winnipeg Jets welcomed their new Head Coach, Paul Maurice,with a 5-1 effort against the visiting Phoenix Coyotes.  The Jets had 5 different goal-scorers against Mike Smith.  G Ondrej Pavelec backstopped the team by giving up only one goal which gave the Coyotes a brief 1-0 lead...

Smith allowed one goal on seven shots after replacing Thomas Greiss on Saturday. It has been tough sledding for Smith lately, he has not recorded a win since December 21, a span of six straight losses. The Olympian is 15-11-8 with a 2.89 GAA and .910 SV% this season. He draws a good matchup against a struggling Jets team who are playing their first game under new head coach Paul Maurice.

Smith allowed four goals on 27 shots in a loss to the Flyers on Saturday. It was his fifth consecutive loss and eighth in his last nine starts. Tonight he will take on the Wild at home, he is 9-5-3 with a 2.93 GAA and .903 SV% in Phoenix this season.

St.Louis could be without a few key scorers in Alex Steen and T.J. Oshie, but their balanced scoring depth has been a huge key during their 6-game winning streak. It's Jaroslav Halak's turn in net tonight against an inferior Calgary team, which has played the Blues tough in splitting two one-goal matchups. The added motivation of gaining traction in the never-ending goaltending carousel in St. Louis over the streaking Brian Elliott should provide plenty of motivation for a big Halak showing. Go Blues.. On a 3-game winning streak, Minnesota will again play without Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu. Not with-standing their shocking win in Los Angeles, the Wild go up against the Phoenix Coyotes and a now-healthy Shane Doan. Coming off a 6-0 demolishing of Calgary behind the shutout win from Thomas Greiss, the ‘Yotes might be ready to start rolling. Mike Smith (LIKELY) has been struggling with a 2.89 GAA, but coach Dave Tippett will go back to him. Edge to Phoenix...Coming off an impressive 3-2 effort against the Sharks, the Predators need to keep up the intensity against an unbeatable Anaheim Duck's team, who is 14--1-0 in their last 15 games. Frederik Andersen gets the nod, but his numbers has been solid with a 1.98 GAA and a .927 SP. The Ducks have too much firepower and the Preds don't. Love Andersen in a great spot-start.. Our upset special will take place in Tampa, where Philip Grubauer and the Capitals will end their losing streak against an overmatched Anders Lindback. Ben Bishop would have given the ‘Bolts a clear edge, but we just don't see Lindback filling in this void in goal successfully if Bishop is out long-term. The "writing will be on the wall" tonight as the Caps win this one. FANTASY MUST-START Frederik Andersen, Anaheim @. Nashville Jaroslav Halak, St. Louis @ Calgary Mike Smith *, Phoenix vs. Minnesota SLEEPER ALERT Philip Grubauer, Washington @ Tampa Bay *: NOT CONFIRMED GOALIE DAILY PICKS Steve: (55-36): Frederik Andersen Ray: (50-39): Jaroslav Halak Mike: (43-32): TBA
