It’s election day, and the only thing I REALLY care about is getting back to TV without 14,284 political ads each day. It’s amazing how much you start despising people when they interrupt your streaming every 10 minutes, isn’t it?

Let’s look at Tuesday's goalie matchup rankings by opponent shots per game and goals per game rankings. Those stats are compared against each other to give each team a matchup rating: positive numbers mean a team shoots more and scores less goals, providing more quality save opportunities.

I listed every goalie who has played with each team this season, so check starting lineups before game time to make sure you have the right guy in your lineup. Stats are from NHL.com.
