What It Means:

Lundqvist faces an Islanders team that he went 0-2-1 against last year, recording a .929 save percentage that was worse than his .921 clip for the season. He remains a high-end fantasy goalie for the season, but this isn't the most appealing matchup to kick off the 2016-2017 campaign.

Lundqvist doesn't make for a great DFS play Thursday, ranking as numberFire's 16th-best option on a loaded docket. We expect him to make 24.28-of-26.83 saves while giving the Rangers a 50.0 chance of winning the game.
