Anders Nilsson gets the nod for Buffalo tonight

Buffalo Sabres goalie Anders Nilsson will be called upon to man the crease on Tuesday against the New York Rangers.

What It Means:

Nilsson has gone 10-5-3 through 11 games this season. He's sporting an excellent .925 save percentage and 2.47 goals against average -- both career-bests through his first four seasons in the NHL.

Our models project Nilsson for 27.8 saves, 2.9 goals against and only a 33.0 percent chance of recording a win on Tuesday. He is our 12th-ranked fantasy goalie among the day's 14 starters.
