The Hot list is made up of a few veterans and a couple of unlikely youngsters who could possibly be quick fixes for a fantasy owner at the moment. Our goalie just recorded two shutouts in his past two starts. Who is it and who else can help you pick up the pace in your fantasy league?

 

 

Note: Stats taken from December 6 to December 13.

Anders Lindback, Nashville Predators Goalie

Lindback is on fire at the moment. He is on a three game win streak. More importantly, he recorded the first two shutouts of his career in his past two starts. He has a .977 save percentage and only gave up two goals in the past three games.

Nashville may have found something in this rookie goalie, and you may want to take a look at him if he’s still on your waiver wire.
