  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Makes relief appearance

    Bobrovsky stopped two of three shots he faced in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning.

    Daniil Tarasov (lower body) exited the game in the third period, and Bobrovsky took over in net. The game was already out of hand by the time Bobrovsky entered, but he didn't have a good performance. He remains at 21-17-1 with a 3.13 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 40 appearances this season. If Tarasov's injury proves significant, Bobrovsky may be pressed into a larger role after the Olympic break.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Hit hard early in loss

    Forsberg stopped 18 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    All four goals were surrendered within the first 14 minutes of the game. Forsberg was forced to wear this one, as Darcy Kuemper was in goal for Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. Forsberg is down to 9-7-5 after his first regulation loss in 2026. He's added a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 appearances this season. Forsberg should start one of the first two games after the Olympic break, either Feb. 25 versus Vegas or Feb. 26 versus the Oilers.

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Steps up in win

    Hill stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

    Hill ended his three-game skid with one of his best performances of the season. All the scoring happened in the first period, and Hill made sure the Kings didn't gain any momentum from Trevor Moore's goal. Hill is up to 4-3-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 12 starts this season. He alternated starts with Akira Schmid leading up to the Olympic break, and if Schmid returns healthy after the tournament, it's likely Vegas will continue with a goalie rotation.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Stumbles versus Penguins

    Lyon allowed four goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Lyon took just his second loss in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. This wasn't a pretty one -- it was the first time he allowed more than three goals since Nov. 28 versus the Devils. Lyon is down to 14-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 27 appearances. Lyon has often been the Sabres' best goalie this season, and he should handle the bulk of the starts until Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) can return.

  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Steady in win

    Silovs stopped 26 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

    Silovs picked up his third win in his last four outings. He's allowed just nine goals on 111 shots in that span as he continues to alternate starts with Stuart Skinner. Silovs improved to 11-7-8 with a 2.93 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 26 contests this season. The Latvian netminder is off to the Olympics, where he'll likely battle the Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins for starts between the pipes.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Handed overtime loss

    Vladar allowed two goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Senators.

    Vladar put forth a good performance, but the Flyers didn't match his level. He can be credited with getting the game to overtime, but Tim Stutzle won it for the Senators just 47 seconds into the extra session. Vladar heads into the Olympics with 11 goals allowed on 112 shots over his last five outings, a span in which he went 1-1-2. He's now at a 17-8-6 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage over a career-high 33 appearances. It's unclear if Vladar will see much playing time with the Czech team, which boasts some depth in net with the Ducks' Lukas Dostal and the Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka.

  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Light work in overtime win

    Reimer stopped 15 of 16 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flyers.

    Reimer has gone just 2-2-0 over his last four outings despite facing than fewer than 20 shots in each of those games. He's allowed 12 goals in that span. The 37-year-old is at a 3-3-1 record with a 2.90 GAA and an .870 save percentage. He's in the backup role for the Senators, though Linus Ullmark (illness) figures to make most of the starts after the Olympic break.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Unbeaten in last eight games

    Vasilevskiy made 33 saves in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.

    Another game, another win. Vasilevskiy's win streak now stands at eight games (13 goals allowed), and he hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 18 (16-0-1). Vasilevskiy is an impressive 27-7-3 with a 2.11 GAA and .920. How dominant has he been? He began the season with a 0-3-2 record and 17 goals allowed in his first five starts. Now, Vasy gets to rest and recover during the break, so he's fresh to carry his squad toward a date with Lord Stanley.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Scuffles continue

    Annunen made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

    Annunen is 5-7-2 with a 3.23 GAA and .886 save percentage in 13 starts (18 appearances) this season. He doesn't get enough games behind Juuse Saros to make him an appealing option in net, and his ratios make him a sketchy spot starter in daily formats. Annunen is 1-2-1 in his last three starts (five appearances). He allowed 14 goals in those three starts, including a seven-goal debacle against Vegas on Jan. 17.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Wins in injury return

    Thompson (upper body) made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.

    He had missed four games with the injury. Thompson heads into representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games on a high with the win. He has a 19-6-4 record with two shutouts, 2.45 GAA and .912 save percentage in 39 starts this season.
