The NHL’s fantasy landscape is ever-evolving, especially when it comes to goaltenders. As teams finalize their lineups ahead of the season, several goalies have emerged as key players to watch for fantasy hockey enthusiasts. With the ongoing performance evaluations in training camps, players like Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers and Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets are on the radar for top fantasy picks this year.
