Next Game
Eligibility
Availability
Jaroslav Halak allowed three goals on 32 shots faced in the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Flames Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
Halak has been mostly reliable in the crease of late for the Rangers, allowing three goals or less in four of his last five starts (4-0-1, .929 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has been a solid backup option behind No. 1 goaltender Igor Shesterkin, posting a 2.64 GAA and .907 save percentage in 16 starts (8-6-2) in net so far this season.
Jaroslav Halak was strong in net for the Rangers Friday night, stopping 33 of 34 shots faced in a 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Fantasy Impact
Halak has been a strong presence in the crease of late for the Rangers, allowing three goals or less in each of his last five starts (5-0-0, .939 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has been an adequate backup to No. 1goaltender Igor Shesterkin to this point, posting a 2.56 GAA and .908 save percentage in 13 starts (6-6-1) so far this season.
New York Rangers goaltender Jaroslav Halak will start Wednesday's game versus the New York Islanders.
Fantasy Impact
With Igor Shesterkin starting the first half of the Rangers' back-to-back last night against the Avalanche, it's not a surprise to see Halak going tonight. Halak has made two starts this season, getting torched for a 4.03 GAA and .852 Sv% in that time. The veteran last started Sunday against the Blue Jackets, yielding five goals on just 21 shots. His starts will be few and far between behind the reigning Vezina Trophy winner.
Jaroslav Halak was unable to stand tall in net for the Rangers Friday, allowing three goals on 33 shots faced in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Halak will spell reigning Vezina trophy winner Igor Shesterkin especially in back-to-back game situations, but offers little season long fantasy value unless the former gets injured which would clear the way for more starting opportunities for the 37-year-old this season.
Jaroslav Halak stopped 25 of 28 shots against in a 4-1 road loss in St. Louis. He was pulled with 3:17 to play and Tarasenko scored an empty net goal just a few moments later.
Fantasy Impact
Halak has won only one game in his last six starts and falls to 3-7-2 with a 3.19 goals against average and .894 save percentage in 15 games played this season.
