Here are the fantasy ramifications following the news that Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will miss 2-3 weeks with a lower-body injury:

Lundqvist's injury could not have come at a worse time for fantasy owners. The fantasy playoffs are set to begin on Monday and it's quite possible King Henrik will miss them entirely. If you're out of IR spots, Lundqvist must be dropped. You can't afford to have him take up a roster spot on your bench in a must-win week.

If Lundqvist's owner is out of IR spots and drops him, pick him up if you have an available IR spot. He could return for the final week of the season (the fantasy playoff finals) and help you win a title.

In the meantime, Antti Raanta is now a must-own goaltender. He has been arguably the league's best backup goalie this season, going 13-6-0 with a .922 SV% and a 2.33 GAA.

If Raanta has already been scooped up, you might be trouble. Finding a reliable goaltender who receives a decent amount of his team's starts at this time of year is nearly impossible. The one goalie who might be available is Detroit's Jimmy Howard, who just returned from injury. Otherwise, streaming goalies is the best coarse of action:

There are enough back-to-backs on the NHL schedule in any given week that backup goalies get enough playing time and will allow you to meet your minimum goalie starts -- and maybe even win a few categories. Here is a list of all the back-to-backs during the week of March 13-19:

March 13-14

Best option: Bishop if available, otherwise Budaj.

March 15-16

Best option: Hutton

March 16-17

Best option: Nilsson

March 17-18

Best option: Enroth.

March 18-19

Best Option: Darling or Condon if available, otherwise Korpisalo.
