Eddie Lack

Eddie Lack expected to man Hurricanes' post versus Washington

Carolina Hurricanes goalie Eddie Lack was the first goalie off the ice in preparation of Tuesday night's contest with the Washington Capitals.

What It Means:

Injuries have limited Lack to only five appearances (four starts) this season, and he's struggled in that minimal action, going 1-2-1 with a 3.79 goals-against average and .856 save percentage. Those numbers likely won't improve tonight against a Capitals team that has won 11 of their last 14 while averaging an absurd 4.9 goals per game.

Our models project Lack to allow 3.1 goals and make 26.4 saves with a poor 20.0 percent chance of scoring a win on Tuesday. That makes him numberFire's second-worst fantasy goalie among the 22 starters in action.
