Peter Budaj starting in goal for Tampa Bay on Friday

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Peter Budaj will start between the pipes for Friday's road clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

This will be Budaj's first start since being traded to Tampa from the Los Angeles Kings. He went 27-20 in 53 starts for the Kings this season, sporting a .917 save percentage and 2.12 goals against average.

Our models project Budaj for 26.9 saves, 2.7 goals against and a 40.0 percent chance of scoring a win, making him our 7th-ranked fantasy goalie on Friday's 6-game slate.
