What It Means:

Sparks stopped 20 of 21 shots in the Maple Leafs' win over the Buffalo Sabres last Saturday. Sparks has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.54 goals against average and .886 save percentage in his last five starts. Anaheim surprisingly comes into tonight having lost five of their last eight.

Sparks is our 19th-ranked goalie for Thursday's 11-game slate. We project him to allow 2.48 goals on 24.94 shots with a 40 percent chance of registering the victory.
