Peter Budaj the probable starter as Kings take on Edmonton

Los Angeles Kings goalie Peter Budaj was the first one of the ice at the morning skate ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Edmonton Oilers.

What It Means:

Budaj has been reliable this season, posting an impressive 2.13 goals-against average that currently ranks sixth in the NHL among goalies with 10 or more starts this season. His 7-6-1 record and .912 save percentage are a bit more middling. The Oilers rank 14th in the league in scoring (2.71 goals per game).

Buadj is projected to allow 2.35 goals on 25.41 shot attempts tonight versus Edmonton, according to our models, who give him a 55.0 percent chance of picking up the win. He's numberFire's 16th goalie out of the 20 available for DFS purposes.
