SCOUT ANALYST JOHN BOLLMAN'S TAKE

Pavel Francouz shined in his effort last night against the Islanders with Philip Grubauer on the shelf. He only allowed one goal, and it was a 6 on 5 goal with an extra man. He is now 14-5-3 on the season with a 2.44 GAA and .923 save percentage. He is projected as the best fantasy goalie for the rest of the season, much higher than his current rank of ninth.

REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

You can expect Pavel Francouz to be a good bench player who will start in certain weeks the rest of the season. His 47 projected fantasy points puts him at #13 behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and ahead of Alex Stalock. He has averaged 6.28 fantasy points in his past 35 games, which is slightly more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 5.92 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#14) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. He is underrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 70%, he is the #20 most highly owned goalie. Pavel Francouz is expected to improve on this season-to-date's #19 fantasy position rank.
