Hurricanes name Cam Ward as starting goalie on Friday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward will start between the pipes for Friday's home game against the Buffalo Sabres.

What It Means:

Ward is 16-12-6 through 35 starts this season, and his .915 save percentage is his best mark since the 2011-2012 season, while his 2.31 goal against average is a career-best.

Ward is our fourth-ranked fantasy goalie among the 14 starters in action on Friday. Our models project him for 24.6 saves, 2.1 goals against and a 56.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
