Joni Ortio

Flames putting Joni Ortio in the crease against Vancouver

Calgary Flames goalie Joni Ortio will get the nod on Thursday versus the Vancouver Canucks.

What It Means:

He gave up five goals on 24 shots to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday in his last outing. It's a small sample, but Ortio has enjoyed success against the Canucks in his career with a 1-1-0 record along with a 1.02 goals against average and a .960 save percentage.

Ortio has a 6-9-5 record with a 2.74 goals against average and .903 save percentage. He is our top value play tonight with his $6,600 price tag. We project him to record 23.47 saves on 25.82 attempts and give Ortio a 61 percent chance of securing the win.
