Jaroslav Halak Strong In Win On Thursday
6 years agoBoston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak turned aside 25 of 26 shots faced on Thursday night, leading his team to a 4-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers. After posting a 32-save shutout in his first start with Boston, Halak gave up a goal 3:43 into the game but managed to shut down the Oilers for the rest of the way. The Slovakian netminder is off to an excellent start with his new team, having posted two wins, a 1.18 goals against average and a .961 save percentage in three appearances on the season. While his fantasy value is mostly limited due to his backup role with the Bruins, he is proving to be a top streaming option in games that he draws the start.
