Just eight teams in action today, meaning not every fantasy team will have an active goalie in the lineup. There are still good players to be had for the shrewdest of fantasy owners (and those with enough time to scour the free agent market).

Let’s run through Friday’s goalie matchups by the measure of opponent shots per game and goals per game rankings. Those stats were compared to give each team a matchup score; a positive number means the team shoots more and scores less goals, creating more quality save opportunities.
