On Thursday, there are 13 NHL games to track, which means there are 26 starting goalies to consider in fantasy hockey. Interestingly, the schedule has been heavy on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week, so today is critical for managers who need to collect points when they can.

Only four teams have confirmed their starters, but a handful of these starting positions are almost a lock based on rotations and injuries.
