Henrik Lundqvist

Henrik Lundqvist to man the crease for the Rangers on the road on Thursday

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist will start between the pipes for Thursday's road clash with the Buffalo Sabres.

What It Means:

While his 21-13-1 record through 35 starts is fairly solid, Lundqvist has been struggling this season. His .905 save percentage and 2.78 goals-against average are both on pace to be career-worst marks by a pretty significant margin.

Despite those struggles, our models are very high on Lundqvist against Buffalo tonight. We project him for 27.4 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 55.0 percent chance of scoring a win, making him our top-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's eight-game slate.
