Whether you’re interested for fantasy hockey reasons or just want to know which goalie your team is playing in a given day, we thought it might be helpful to share our best guesses (based on various previews from newspapers and Web sites plus our own instincts) on who might start each day.

7:00 pm ET games

Pittsburgh @ Toronto

Likely Pittsburgh starter: Marc-Andre Fleury (Source.)

Likely Toronto starter: James Reimer - It sounds like Reimer will be the go-to goalie as the Maple Leafs attempt their playoff push. (Source.)

Carolina @ Montreal

Likely Carolina starter: Cam Ward (Source.)

Likely Montreal starter: Alex Auld - Carey Price is a game-time decision, so it seems reasonable to think that Auld might get the nod.

Washington @ NY Islanders

Likely Washington starter: Michal Neuvirth - Sounds like Semyon Varlamov is dealing with an injury, so Neuvirth it is. (Source.)

Likely Islanders starter: Al Montoya (Source.)

Philadelphia @ Ottawa

Likely Philadelphia starter: Brian Boucher (Source.)

Likely Ottawa starter: Craig Anderson (Source.)

Detroit @ Buffalo

Likely Detroit starter: Joey MacDonald (Source.)
