The New York Islanders are starting goalie Jaroslav Halak in goal versus the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
Halak will be making only his sixth start of the month and owns a 2-2-1 record in December. He has posted a .914 save percentage with a 3.27 goals against average. Halak gets the misfortune of facing a hot Capitals club who has posted a 7-1-2 record in their last 10 games.
Our models have Halak as the 19th-of-20 goalie options on Tuesday with projections of 2.7 goals allowed, 24.3 saves, and a 40.0 percent chance of winning.
