Antti Niemi[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#D9AE00">Likely</dt><dt style="color:#D9AE00">Feb. 15, 2013, 1:23 p.m.</dt></dl>
Niemi is the likely starter tonight for the Sharks.
After starting the season 6-0-0, Niemi has lost his last 4 starts. However it was not Niemi's fault that the Sharks lost those games. In 2 of the games he only allowed 1 goal and in another he posted a shutout and lost in a shootout. Niemi still has a 1.74 GAA and .935 SV% and is a good #1 fantasy option. Tough match-up tonight against Chicago.

Ray Emery[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 14, 2013, 2:15 p.m.</dt></dl>
Emery will start tomorrow for the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks who still haven't lost in regulation this season will turn to Ray Emery to keep their hot-streak going. Emery has started in 3 games this season posting a 3-0-0 record with 2.59 GAA and .920 SV%. He has a decent match-up against an up-and-down Sharks team.

Jake Allen[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 15, 2013, 2:23 p.m.</dt></dl>
Jake Allen's first NHL victory will lead to his second NHL start.
With Halak out with an injury and Elliott on a major slump Allen will get his second straight start tonight vs. the Flames. Allen didn't see a lot of shots in his first start, stopping 15 of 18 shots he faced against Detroit and recording the OT win. He has a pretty good match-up tonight against Calgary and could be worth a spot start; if you trust the young netminder.

Leland Irving[/h]

Leyland Irving will start tomorrow for the Flames.
Irving recorded his second win of the year last night in a 7-4 win over the Dallas Stars. Irving played well although allowing one soft goal and should continue to see the majority of the starts as long as Kiprusoff is on the shelf. He has a tough match-up vs. the Blues, look elsewhere.

Kari Lehtonen[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 15, 2013, 2:34 p.m.</dt></dl>
Lehtonen will start tonight vs. Vancouver.
Lehtonen has a 5 game winning-streak heading into tonight's game against Vancouver. During his 5 game winning streak he has a 1.77 GAA and .940 SV%, however those numbers will be put to the test tonight against a tough Vancouver team.

Cory Schneider[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 14, 2013, 3:50 p.m.</dt></dl>
Schneider gets the start tomorrow for the Canucks.
Are the Canucks going to trade Luongo? Are they not? Does not seem to matter at this point as both Schneider and Luongo are playing great hockey for the Canucks. Schneider will start tomorrow vs. the Stars and should be started in fantasy as well. He is coming in on a two game winning streak.

Sergei Bobrovsky[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 15, 2013, 2:38 p.m.</dt></dl>
Bobrovsky to start tonight for the Blue Jackets.
Bobrovsky has lost 3 straight starts in ugly fashion. He has a 4.06 GAA and .833 SV% in his lat 3. Columbus is taking on the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings tonight. I wouldn't recommend Bobrovsky as a fantasy starter tonight.

Jonathan Bernier[/h]
<dl><dt style="color:#079000">Confirmed</dt><dt style="color:#079000">Feb. 15, 2013, 1:32 p.m.</dt></dl>
Bernier will be in net tonight for the Kings.
Bernier played well in the Kings last game only allowing 1 goal on 23 shots vs. a good Blues team. It looks like he will make his second consecutive start tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Bernier is only owned in 0.2% of ESPN leagues so he could make for a good spot start tonight vs. a weak Columbus roster.
