Igor Shesterkin G | NYR
Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Leaves ice first
Shesterkin was the first goalie to exit the ice ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Calgary, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll guard the cage.
Shesterkin will make his 12th appearance in the Rangers' last 14 contests, having gone 5-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and two shutouts in his previous 11 outings. With the Rangers trying to hold on to a playoff spot, they likely will continue to give Shesterkin a heavy workload, leaving Jonathan Quick primarily as an option in back-to-backs.

Filip Gustavsson G | MIN
Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Bounces back with strong showing
Gustavsson stopped 28 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Gustavsson was beaten by Adrian Kempe on the power play, but other than that, he looked impressive between the pipes and got back to winning ways after dropping his previous two outings. Gustavsson has featured in nine of Minnesota's 12 games since the 4 Nations break, going 4-4-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .913 save percentage, so he's certainly played better than his record indicates.

Logan Thompson G | WAS
Capitals' Logan Thompson: Exits ice first
Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday and will be between the pipes at home versus the Red Wings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Thompson will make consecutive starts for the first time since March 1 and 3. In his last three outings, the 28-year-old netminder went 3-0-0 despite an .897 save percentage. Even with Thompson going again Tuesday, fantasy players should continue to see plenty of Charlie Lindgren down the stretch.

Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Penguins' Tristan Jarry: In goal Tuesday
Jarry will get the starting nod at home versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Jarry is riding a four-game winning streak since being called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting a 2.24 GAA and a .930 save percentage along the way. With his current run of form, Jarry has improved his numbers to 12-8-4 with a 3.13 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Barring a dramatic shift in the Penguins' plans, Jarry looks poised to see the bulk of the workload the rest of the way.

Darcy Kuemper G | LA
Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Tagged with loss Monday
Kuemper stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to Minnesota. The third goal was an empty-netter in the final minutes of the third period.
Kuemper saw the end of his four-game winning streak with this defeat, though it wasn't a woeful outing or anything like that. Kuemper has been on a roll of late and has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in his past six appearances, which translates to a 4-1-1 record with an excellent 0.99 GAA and a .960 save percentage over that stretch.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Shipped back to minors
Greaves was returned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.
Greaves suited up in Monday's clash with the Devils, giving up two goals on 20 shots (.900 save percentage) in a losing effort. Overall, the 23-year-old backstop is 2-2-2 with a 2.83 GAA in six NHL outings this season. The decision to return Greaves to the minors likely points to Elvis Merzlikins rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's clash with Florida.

Joonas Korpisalo G | NYR
Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Strong outing in OT loss
Korpisalo stopped 27 of 30 shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
After allowing the first goal of the game and a second-period tally to Owen Power, Korpisalo made many essential saves down the stretch to send the game to overtime. Despite keeping the extra period scoreless to the final 11 seconds, Buffalo's Alex Tuch deflected a shot from range past Korpisalo on a power play to end the game. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 10-7-3 record with a 2.78 GAA and an .896 save percentage. Korpisalo has been playing a bit more frequently in March with four appearances. While he has only one win during this stretch, he has posted a .912 save percentage and has elevated his play, with the Bruins trying to make a playoff push. Monday night's loss will be costly in that regard, but Korpisalo should see another appearance within the next week. In fantasy, however, there are likely better options on the waiver wire.

Joseph Woll G | PHI
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Earns second straight win
Woll stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over Calgary.
Woll has been splitting the goaltending workload with Anthony Stolarz, appearing in four of the team's last eight games, and the 26-year-old Woll has posted a 3-1-0 record with a 3.90 GAA and an .870 save percentage over that stretch. The numbers don't tell the whole story, however, as those figures are inflated by the 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights on March 5, when he allowed three goals on seven shots, good for a 12.86 GAA. Woll has won four of his five appearances since the 4 Nations break.

Dustin Wolf G | CGY
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Gives up five goals
Wolf stopped 21 of 26 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. He was replaced after logging 40:00 of ice time.
Wolf was pulled for the first time this season and was replaced by Dan Vladar, who made two saves on three shots in the third period. Wolf has now dropped his last three starts, going 0-2-1 with a 4.05 GAA and an .869 save percentage over that stretch. Although he's working through a rough patch, he's gone 3-3-2 with a more respectable 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage since the break.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Burned by blunder against Devils
Greaves made 18 saves in Monday's 2-1 loss to New Jersey.
Both Devils goals came in a 39-second span in the second period, and Greaves would like another crack at the second one -- he misplayed the puck behind the net and watched it land right on Jesper Bratt's stick before he could scramble back into the crease. With Elvis Merzlikins away from the Jackets to attend to a personal matter, Greaves could be in line for consistent work while splitting time with Daniil Tarasov, but both goalies will have trouble getting results if the Columbus offense doesn't wake up. Mathieu Olivier's third-period goal Monday was the team's first in three games after back-to-back shutout losses.
