Jaroslav Halak

Islanders placing Jaroslav Halak between the pipes

New York Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak will draw the start Monday night versus the Vancouver Canucks.

What It Means:

Halak enters tonight on a three-game losing streak after giving up three goals on 23 shots in a Saturday loss to the Edmonton Oilers, but he will face a Canucks squad that has dropped eight in a row. He owns a 2.92 goals against average and .905 save percentage with a 2-3-2 record.

Halak is numberFire's top-rated goalie option on Monday for FanDuel purposes, giving him a convincing 78.0 percent chance of picking up the victory while projecting the 31-year-old netminder to save 23.63 shots on 25.49 attempts.
