Vitek Vanecek Shines In Florida Debut
3 hours agoFlorida Panthers goaltender Vitek Vanecek stopped all 21 shots he faced in his Panthers debut against the Buffalo Sabres. The Panthers dominated the shot total, but Vanecek was able to step up when called on. This was a strong outing for Vanecek, as he held a 0-2-2 record over his last four starts with the San Jose Sharks. During this stretch, he held a high 4.02 goals-against average with an .871 save percentage. Through his time with the Sharks earlier in the season, Vanecek held a 3-10-3 record with a poor .882 save percentage and a 3.88 GAA. Vanecek dealt with numerous injuries, such as a facial injury and an upper-body injury. Fantasy managers should expect Vanecek to operate as the No. 2 option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and will carry value as a streaming option in deeper formats.
