Chris Driedger Makes 31 Saves To Earn Victory Against Penguins
5 years agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Chris Driedger allowed just one goal in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Penguins, while stopping 31-of-32 shots on goal in the contest. The 25-year-old earned his fourth win of the season to improve his record to 4-1-0, while producing a 1.82 goals against average and .944 save percentage through six starts. Driedger was supported by the high-scoring offensive in front of him, as goals were scored by Frank Vatrano, Brett Connolly, Mike Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov in the victory. The Panthers next back-to-back set comes on Jan. 20th and 21st against the Wild and Blackhawks, respectively, but there is a high possibility that Driedger could make a start against either the Kings or Red Wings the week prior. If that ends up being the case, fantasy owners would be recommended to stream Driedger in the favorable matchup against two teams that rank bottom-five in the NHL with regards to goals scored.
