What It Means:

Jeff Zatkoff started on Monday, so expect Budaj to take over for the second half of the back-to-back set. He is 20-14-3 this season with a .916 save percentage, 2.14 goals-against average and four shutouts. The Devils have dropped four of the past five and currently own the third-worst offense in the NHL (2.23 goals per game).

numberFire's models project Budaj for 25.8 saves and 1.8 goals against, with a 54.0 percent chance of defeating the Devils and a 16.0 percent chance of shutting them out. He is our second-ranked fantasy goalie for Tuesday's deep 10-game slate.
