Fantasy Hockey 2011: Saturday Starting Backup Goalies

by PostmanMatt on Dec 31, 2011 2:45 PM EST in Hockey

This article talks about the backup goalies who have been verified to start today so you don't get a goose-egg in your stats when you're trying to play your starter.

~~Jason LaBarbera~~ Curtis McElhinney, Coyotes vs. Wild - ~~He's only started against the Wild twice in his career but it hasn't gone well either time.~~ UPDATE Different goalie, still bad record against the Wild. END UPDATE I couldn't recommend using him even with the Wild struggling to win the past several games.

Jhonas Enroth, Sabres vs. Senators - He's done a good job in three career starts against the Sens. Worth a start if you have him.

~~There's not much else to report at this time so be sure to check back later on today to see if there's any more verified news on backup goaltenders who are starting today.~~ That's about it from the backups starting front. Good luck and Happy New Year!

I do too...

But considering how questionable the weather has been the past few years of the Winter Classic, you’d think they would want to give more cooler regions a shot. I propose Minnesota and have a Wild vs. Stars, Wild vs. Jets or Stars vs. Jets game. By this time of the year, you don’t have to worry about heat waves or rainy weather, you know there’s snow and it’s cold!

3 pm EST/12 pm PST

It was moved from 1 pm to 3 pm due to poor ice conditions.
