Goalies Trending Up
Carey Price, Canadiens (0-2-0, .918 Sv%, 2.02 GAA)
It’s been a long way back for Price, and how do the Habs show him their appreciation?
By scoring zero goals in two games, that’s how.
Despite this, Price has looked good in a short period, putting up the second-best stats among Habs goalies behind — *checks notes* — Andrew Hammond. While it’s unclear how big Price’s workload will be the rest of the season, that he was able to put in solid performances in two games over five nights is a good sign. He likely will get another start on the April 23-24 back-to-back and then perhaps the season finale. He may end the season without a win, but fantasy managers hunting for saves with minimal goals against should give him a look if he’s still available.
Jack Campbell, Maple Leafs (April totals: 6-0-1, .906 Sv%, 2.95 GAA)
Campbell still looks a little shaky, but it’s an encouraging sign the Leafs have been winning even without Auston Matthews. The major upside, however, is that Campbell is healthy and ready to be the No. 1 once again since Erik Kallgren‘s play has fallen off after providing a spark initially. It’s unlikely Campbell will return to his early season form — he’s never had a workload like this and he has a lengthy injury history — but fantasy managers should rest assured that he will get most of the starts down the stretch.
Scott Wedgewood, Stars (With Dallas: 3-0-2, .916 Sv%, 2.68 GAA)
Wedgewood started consecutive games at home against Tampa Bay and Minnesota, and came in relief for Jake Oettinger on Monday against the Canucks, bringing his total appearances to three in their last four games. It’s a situation to monitor; Oettinger was thrust into the spotlight this season sooner than expected and performed admirably, but he’s never faced a workload or pressure quite like this. The Stars are still in the playoff hunt, but there are subtle signs that they’re leaning toward Wedgewood to play more if only to give…
