Our latest NHL fantasy hockey goalie rankings for late October.
Carey Price is one to keep a close eye on. Although his stats haven't been sparkling thus far, the Canadiens team looks a lot better than what we saw last year. If that continues, Price could keep rising. Corey Crawford has returned to the Blackhawks lineup after months on the shelf, and he's another elite goalie who could rise quickly if he stays healthy. No major fallers this time around, though Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick have seen their respective stocks drop off a little bit.
