Goalie Notes:
- Corey Crawford (CHI) earned a 31 save shutout versus the Preds
- Kari Lehtonen (DAL) stopped 38 of 39 to earn the win for Dallas
- James Reimer (TOR) allowed 4 goals on 35 shots, but still got the win over Montreal

Skater Notes:
- Phil Kessel (TOR) scored twice and had 2 more assists versus Montreal
- Tyler Bozak (TOR) also had 2 goals for Toronto and added 1 assist
- Matt Martin (NYI) had a 2-goal night for the Isles
- Wayne Simmonds (LA) scored twice for LA
- Ilya Kovalchuk (NJ) takes an 11 game point streak into action tonight, yet remains undervalued on most daily sites. Take advantage.

Recommended Starting Goalies for Daily Fantasy Hockey Tonight:
9 games to pick from. So far, teams are holding their tongues on who to expect in net. Here's the best guess at goalies to target for a win tonight:
1. NJ vs TB - Hedberg has been named to start, comes at a fair price on most sites, and has won 8 straight games. Tampa is playing .500 hockey.
2. BUF vs OTT - Despite the fact that Ottawa has won 2 straight, I definitely like Miller's odds in the cage tonight. The firesale continues in Ottawa and they have little to play for at this point.
3. SJ vs CGY - San Jose has found their groove and are looking tough to beat these days, while the Flames have cooled off a bit. Expect Niemi, as he's been in net since about Christmas.
