Makar - Parayko

Kahkonen
Swayman

Injuries: Anders Lee, Pavel Francouz, Ty Smith
Bench: Paquette, Kravtsov, Drysdale, Jokiharju, Desmith

Starting two rookie Goaltenders: Swayman makes his BBKL debut. Desmith sits this one out because pittsburgh has some tough opponents in Washington/Boston.

Still considering if I play haas/paquette (4 games each) or wood/asplund (better stats)

Looks like Parayko and Manson are both injured, so before lock I may need to sub in youngsters Drysdale and Jokiharju, which would be a big statistical hit.

Easy Peasy W this week.

Like the Ducks forwards and the Kings defense, but the Ducks roster overall (given the injuries to Eichel/Hyman/Carlo).

If Swayman and KK get some good starts, the Ducks could easily win this thing.

I picked LA based on last week's numbers, but Anaheim will give him some trouble.

Took a chance and left day-2-day Parayko and Manson in the lineup. If they are out for the week it hurts bad not subbing drysdale/jokiharju in for them, but if they are only out 1 game each then it's a win.

ANA wins thiihs handily

Jamie Bennnnnnnn baaabbbbbyyyyy

Having a monster playoffs for me: Scoring, shooting, hitting, 10fow/gm from the wing, shtoi

4 point night including gwg

Reminds me of an old Sam Bennett

A true believer.

C'mon Dallas score a few goals

Big night from my skaters, but big night from Steve's goalie too.

Goalie stats aren't going to matter if you keep up the pace with your skaters, your team is on fire right now.

I'm not big on making judgments on matchups after two days but that's the perfect start for Matthew.

Offensively, yes. I could easily lose periphs (neither parayko or manson have returned) and goaltending.

Uh oh. Minnesota starting talbot in both games of b2b. Things getting sketchy for me to get a goalie gp this week.

Swayman gets the start tomorrow, thankfully.

You're worrying about goaltending? Now you're just being greedy...

Security. He can still catch me in hits, shots, and fow, which would make it a tie. He has the tiebreaker. He has a few games in hand so it's entirely possible he could do it.

Never count Steve out

If he's going to chase you down, it'll have to be in the periph categories. His goalie categories are in good shape but you can get a great start today from Swayman and steal a couple of those away too.

Can't say a comeback is impossible but it's gotta happen today with only one game tomorrow.
