Islanders' Jaroslav Halak: Worst season of career

The GAA was the highest he has posted in his NHL career, and the save percentage was his lowest since 2012-13 when he only played in 16 games for the Blues. Halak has finished his four-year contract with the Islanders, and although he has publicly stated that he would be open to a return to the team, it's likely he'll end up with another organization.

Halak's looked like a completely different player against his intrastate rivals this season, as this effort comes on the heels of a 50-save shutout the last time these two teams faced off back on Feb. 15. The veteran netminder picked up just one win over 12 appearances in between, but owners who took a chance on his favorable history against this opponent were handsomely rewarded.

With only two games remaining, there's a chance that this will be Halak's final appearance representing the Isles at Barclays Center. He's been terrific against the other New York team based on a 3-0-0 record, 1.62 GAA and .962 save percentage over three starts in 2017-18. The 32-year-old checks out as a value play on this 12-game slate.

Islanders' Jaroslav Halak: Snaps skid by beating Ottawa

Something had to give in this battle of the league's two worst defensive teams, and once the dust settled, Halak emerged with his first victory in his past 12 appearances. The Slovakian veteran didn't rain on the parades of certain Senators' fantasy owners, however, as both Matt Duchene and Bobby Ryan both still produced three-point nights for the hosts. Despite this positive result, Halak's relevance in fantasy remains mainly as an option to stream against rather than a player to target.

Halak reportedly will be countered by Mike Condon in this upcoming contest, which isn't all that threatening since the Senators backup owns a .905 save percentage through 15 outings in 2018. Halak's currently operating with a .906 save rate for the season, but his team is ranked ninth offensively away from Brooklyn, thus giving him decent odds of skating away with his 19th win of the season.
