    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Starting in Tampa Bay

    Dobes will defend the road net against the Lightning on Tuesday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: In goal in divisional matchup

    Vladar is set to start on the road Tuesday against the Capitals, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    Vladar has been steady across his last six appearances, posting a 4-1-1 record, 1.96 GAA and .928 save percentage. The 28-year-old Vladar has already faced the Capitals twice this season -- he logged identical stat lines against them Feb. 3 and Feb. 25, making 26 saves on 28 shots in both games, and he came out with a 1-1-0 record from those divisional matchups.

  • Adin Hill G | LV

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Earns win over Canucks

    Hill stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

    Hill was coming off three straight losses, and although only one of those came in regulation, he was still in dire need of a win. He took advantage of a favorable matchup in this one and also posted a save percentage over .900 for the first time since March 17. Hill remains the starting goaltender for the Golden Knights, and his status as the No. 1 option isn't in jeopardy, but the team's defensive woes in recent weeks have conspired against his fantasy upside. He's gone 5-6-2 in 13 appearances since the beginning of March, posting a 2.79 GAA and an .872 save percentage on 265 shots faced in that span.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Drawing start Tuesday

    Thompson will protect home the crease versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Thompson will operate in the blue paint for the 12th time in the last 13 games as the Capitals fight to stay alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The 29-year-old is 5-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 11 appearances in March. Thompson started in Philadelphia on March 11, a game in which he allowed three goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tagged with another loss

    Lankinen stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:10 left in the third period.

    Lankinen has gone winless in his last six appearances, going 0-5-0 with a 3.86 GAA and an .873 save percentage on 166 shots against in that stretch. Considering the significant problems the Canucks have had all season defensively, it's hard to trust Lankinen in most formats even if he has a tight grip on the starting role between the Vancouver pipes.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: First off at morning skate

    Greaves is scheduled to start at home against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Greaves has posted a rock-solid 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage over his last four appearances, but he's just 1-2-1 during that time. This will be the Ontario native's third start against the Hurricanes this season -- he posted a 28-save win against them March 17, though he was on the hook for a 4-1 loss in Raleigh on Dec. 9.

  • Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Tough assignment ahead

    Korpisalo will be between the home pipes against the Stars on Tuesday, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

    This will be Korpisalo's fifth appearance in March. The Finnish netminder is 1-1-2 with a 4.17 GAA and an .866 save percentage over his first four outings this month. This matchup for a No. 2 goaltender is a formidable assignment against one of the NHL's top teams, but the Bruins have been tremendous on home ice -- they own a 27-10-1 record at TD Garden this season.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Expected to start at home

    Luukkonen is slated to guard the home cage Tuesday versus the Islanders, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

    Luukkonen has been excellent since the Olympic break, registering a 7-1-1 record, .925 save percentage and 2.21 GAA across nine outings. The Sabres should have the upper hand Tuesday -- they have been off since Saturday, while the Islanders are on the second half of a back-to-back after getting blitzed by the Penguins on Monday to the tune of an 8-3 score.
