Curtis McElhinney stepping in for Toronto on second night of back-to-back
Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Curtis McElhinney has been named the starter for Thursday's matchup with the New Jersey Devils.
What It Means:
In eight appearances (six starts) for Toronto since being acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets, McElhinney has gone 3-4-0 with a .921 save percentage and 2.70 goals-against average. He gets a nice draw tonight against the third-worst offense in the NHL (2.28 goals per game).
Our models project McElhinney to have 25.3 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 68.0 percent chance of recording a victory. He is numberFire's seventh-ranked fantasy option for the heavy 12-game slate.
