Former NHL netminder Mike McKenna provides his Daily Faceoff Starting Goalie Matchup of the Day for Mon. Feb. 20, 2023:



Why I like this matchup:



Ullmark has been unbelievable this year for the Bruins and has the inside track to taking home the Vezina Trophy. And Mandolese is looking to follow up an unbelievable 46-save shootout win for the Senators – in his first NHL start.



What to watch for:



Want the craziest stat of the year for Ullmark? He’s allowed three or more goals only since this season. And that was back on Nov. 1 in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins when he allowed five. His consistency has been absolutely stunning. Ullmark has a .936 save percentage in 35 appearances. I’ve always liked his hands and reflexes. And Ullmark’s mechanics are stout. But he’s added a layer of patience to his game this season that’s paid dividends.<div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="159"></div>



Mandolese’s first NHL game couldn’t have gone any better. He was a major factor during regulation against the New York Islanders and came up huge in the shootout – with his family in the stands. Now he faces an even bigger test: the NHL-leading Bruins. On top of that, it’s the second game in two nights for the Senators. Ottawa won 7-2 at home last night against the St. Louis Blues, then traveled to Boston. Mandolese is a big goalie that uses his size well. Can he bring the athleticism necessary to slow down a potent Bruins offense?



What fantasy owners should do:



Tonight is easy. Start Ullmark. And leave Mandolese on the bench – unless your team is desperate in the saves category.



Bottom line for Linus Ullmark:



Ottawa’s power play is lethal. If he can keep the Senators off the board with the man advantage, the Bruins should win this game.<div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="153"></div>



Bottom line for Kevin Mandolese:



Just play. Ignore any outside noise. The only pressure that exists is what he puts on himself.
