Oettinger made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Both goals that got past him were second-chance rebounds that his defensemen were beaten to by Anthony Cirelli. The win was Oettinger's fifth consecutive victory, and he's now 11-3-0 this season. Those 11 wins are second only to Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck as tops in the NHL. Oettinger carries a heavy workload in Dallas, but Casey DeSmith is an above-average backup who wins. Watch for the Stars to consider some load management for Oettinger later in the season, so he's ready for the postseason. But not right now -- he's as hot as they come.

Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Saturday.

The game was knotted 2-2 until the 6:55 mark of the third, but the Stars got two in 58 seconds on two separate rushes, and they never looked back. Vasilevskiy came into the match on a three-game winning streak, but even the best can't win them all. The Bolts have four games next week with three against strong teams (Avs, Caps, Preds and Leafs). It'll be a good test for Vasilevskiy, who has been one of the NHL's best goalies this season.

Kochetkov (upper body) sustained an injury during overtime versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Kochetkov looked to take a blow to the head, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports. Prior to the injury, Kochetkov allowed four goals on 31 shots. With the Hurricanes already missing Frederik Andersen (knee) into late January in a best-case scenario, this could develop into a crease crisis for the team. Spencer Martin is likely to take over as the starter during Kochetkov's absence, and Yaniv Perets would be in line for a call-up, but it wouldn't be surprising for Carolina to attempt to make a trade if there's bad news about Kochetkov's recovery timeline.

Hill stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Montreal.

The two teams played to a scoreless tie after one period, but Vegas broke it open in the second with five goals. The second period has been the Golden Knights' worst; they entered tied for 23rd with 17 second-period tallies and had been outscored 23 to 17. To that point in the game, Hill was coasting, having faced just eight shots. The Canadiens came out with energy in the third and put a couple past the goalie, but Vegas was never threatened. The win was Hill's third in the last four starts and ninth of the season. Vegas continues its road trip Monday in Philadelphia.

Vladar made 20 saves Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota.

Vladar bent but didn't break in the third period when the Wild turned up the heat and scored twice in a span of 3:25 to force overtime. Minnesota is tied for third in the NHL with 30 third-period goals this season. Vladar shut the door in overtime and the shootout to earn his fourth win of 2024-25. Dustin Wolf has had the hot hand in the Flames net of late, so this was a strong performance for Vladar to prove they can still share the crease. Whether that happens or not is still to be determined.

Gustavsson made 28 saves Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary.

The shootout went five rounds before Rasmus Andersson potted a five-hole goal on Gustavsson to win the game. The talented netminder has bounced back after a queasy 2023-24, compiling a 9-3-3 record with a 2.13 GAA and a .924 save percentage this season. He is delivering elite-level netminding for fantasy managers.

Reimer will guard the road goal versus San Jose on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Reimer allowed nine goals on 66 shots in two outings with Anaheim this season. After being claimed off waivers from the Ducks on Nov. 13, he will get the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back following Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's 22-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Anaheim. San Jose ranks 27th in the league with 2.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

Saros will protect the home net versus Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros stopped 33 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Seattle. He has a 5-9-2 record with one shutout, a 2.52 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Winnipeg ranks first in the league with 4.20 goals per game in 2024-25.

Comrie will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Connor Hellebuyck had a 17-save performance in Friday's win over the Penguins, but that light workload won't lead to him starting both halves of a back-to-back. Comrie will instead draw in for the first time since Nov. 14. The 29-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage over his first four appearances this season. The Predators enter this game in last place with 2.30 goals per game this season.

Allen will protect the road goal versus the Capitals on Saturday, Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen has allowed just three goals on 85 shots over his last three outings, winning two of those games. The Capitals have averaged 4.16 goals per game this season, but they are far less intimidating without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) in the lineup.
