Everyone in the pool! We’re treated to one of those rare occasions this weekend when every single NHL team is in action on the same day. That’s right, crammed between a pair of two-gamers Friday and Sunday, this Saturday features the ultimate 16-game slate, beginning at 1pm EST and wrapping after midnight. Fun! But since every single one of your (healthy/active) fantasy skaters is poised to compete, some tough decisions must be made with only so many lineup spots to fill. For instance, even if still a bit smitten with some member of the Blue Jackets, there’s no justification in rolling them out against a Seattle squad that’s allowed 1.13 goals/game since Dec. 20. Right? Here are another few other fantasy matchups to consider ahead of this unique stretch.

It’s your league. Run it how you want.

Your favorite Detroit skaters could be in for a fruitful fantasy weekend, ahead of Saturday’s home tilt with the fumbling Kings before a visit to Toronto. Keep in mind, we’re not yet sure who’s starting in net for the Maple Leafs Sunday after Martin Jones will have perceivably played way too much before then. Ilya Samsonov perhaps? Huh. Interesting stuff.

The Panthers appear set for another highly productive outing against New Jersey’s goaltending on Saturday. A perfect 8-0-0 since the holiday break, Florida is averaging 4.38 goals/game.

Play all your Stars versus the stumbling Predators and Blackhawks Friday and Saturday. Please. Same goes for your Rangers in a weekend home-and-home series with Washington – proprietors of the worst GAA (4.25) since Christmas.

Saturday’s contest between the Avalanche and Maple Leafs should be fun. Maybe not for either netminder, mind you.
