Carey Price starting between the pipes as Montreal hosts the Islanders
Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price will man the crease for Thursday's home game against the New York Islanders.
After a hot start to the season, Price has struggled a bit lately, losing six of his last 10. He is still 25-15-5 on the year, but his .918 save percentage and 2.44 goals-against average are both his worst marks since the 2012-2013 season.
Price is numberFire's fifth-ranked fantasy option among the 12 starting goalies in action on Thursday. Our models project him for 25.3 saves, 2.4 goals against and a 52.0 percent chance of picking up a win.
