Arturs Silovs posts 19-save shutout in Penguins 7-0 rout of Flyers

Fantasy hockey: Silovs made 19 saves for a shutout on Wednesday, but his weak save quality grades and 3.08 goals-against average keep him a hold.

Arturs Silovs stopped all 19 shots on Wednesday, September 30 in the Penguins' 7-0 win over the Flyers, playing the full 60:00 and earning the win.

The clean sheet is welcome, but his recent averages tell a different story. Silovs carries a 3.08 goals-against average and an .883 save percentage across 56 games, and his save quality grades sit at 17 out of 100 among goalies for goals saved above expected and high-danger saves. Even with an 88% start share, those numbers keep him a hold.

Arturs Silovs

Silovs faced only 19 shots in the blowout, and while the shutout looks impressive on paper, the light workload limits what we can take from it. His recent profile shows a 3.08 goals-against average and .883 save percentage, both well below league standard. More telling, his save quality ranks 17th percentile among goalies, meaning he struggles with difficult chances and doesn't consistently bail out his defense.

His 88% start share over 56 games suggests the Penguins trust him as their workhorse, and he has two more starts available this week on Saturday and Monday. But the underlying numbers remain too weak to warrant streaming. He's a hold for managers who already roster him in deeper leagues, nothing more.

What to do

• Hold Silovs in deeper formats where his start volume matters, but the shutout came in a game where he faced only 19 shots.

• Stream other goalies with better save quality grades if you need wins this week.

• Bench Silovs in standard leagues until his goals-against average and save percentage improve.
