New York Islanders v Washington Capitals

NHL starting goalies tonight: Projected starters for your fantasy hockey team | Jan. 5

After a crazy night in the NHL, which saw 12 teams score at least four goals across 13 games, Friday is quieter, with only three games on the schedule.

Interestingly, the Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets are two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back, with the latter the only club picking up a victory on the road.

So far, only one team, the Washington Capitals, has confirmed their starter for this evening, which means NHL fans will need to continue to check the news to see who else gets the call tonight.
