Thursday’s NHL slate was a bit of a ride, wasn’t it? Sixteen teams across the continent combining for an average of 6.9 goals per game, even including one rather conservative 2-1 win by the Hurricanes over the Red Wings. Fun stuff. With another 24 contests scheduled Friday through Sunday, we’re undoubtedly in for another slew of scoring that could make or break your fantasy week. No question, making the proper lineup decisions – especially Saturday – could easily mean the difference between victory and defeat in head-to-head competition.

We’re also in for a parade of appearances from backup goaltenders. While every team plays at least once over the long weekend, 16 clubs compete twice, 11 of them in back-to-back sets. More on which No. 2 goalies to stream, and why, below.
Other matchup highlights from the three day schedule — featuring six games Friday, 13 on Saturday, and five Sunday – include New Jersey visiting Columbus Saturday before hosting the Ducks Sunday. Play all of your favorite fantasy Devils, including goalie Vitek Vanecek, who’s coming off two impressive wins this week.
The Coyotes could make a fair bit of scoring noise when hosting San Jose Friday and Buffalo on Saturday. While the Sharks are performing better, they’re still allowing a good number of goals most games (3.83/contest in December). I also like the Stars’ top performers to put up good fantasy numbers against the Senators Friday before visiting the Blues Saturday.
