  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Stops 26 shots

    Swayman saved 26 of the 29 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

    Outside the final three minutes of the first period, Swayman kept Boston's net tidy until Leo Carlsson's game-winner in the extra period. The 26-year-old netminder holds an 18-18-5 record with a 2.98 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Swayman traveled with Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off but did not make an appearance in net. Boston should challenge for a playoff spot in the Atlantic, meaning Swayman will continue to see plenty of reps moving forward. His next opportunity to guard the crease is on home ice Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting vs. Sharks

    Wolf will get the home start Sunday against San Jose, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Wolf will get the nod in Calgary's first game back from the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 23-year-old netminder is 19-11-3 on the season with a strong .912 save percentage and a 2.63 GAA.

  • Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Starting Sunday

    Lindgren will guard the road crease Sunday against the Oilers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

    Lindgren will get the nod Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back after Logan Thompson started Saturday's win over the Penguins. The 31-year-old Lindgren is 12-9-3 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.63 GAA this season.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Set to start Sunday

    Sorokin will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Sunday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Following a seven-game winning streak, Sorokin has allowed nine goals on 59 shots in his two-game losing skid. He has a 20-16-4 record with three shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 40 appearances this season. Dallas ranks fifth in the league with 3.29 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 4-2 win over New Jersey on Saturday.

  • Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Sent down Saturday

    Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    Tolopilo was up as a practice player with the Canucks as players returned to the team from the 4 Nations Face-Off. Kevin Lankinen and Arturs Silovs will man the crease for Vancouver while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is out, allowing Tolopilo to see playing time with Abbotsford.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Outplayed in low-scoring game

    Lankinen stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Lankinen was good, but Adin Hill was a little better as the Golden Knights rallied from a 1-0 deficit. The 29-year-old Lankinen looks to be the Canucks' No. 1 for a while -- Thatcher Demko (lower body) is week-to-week and isn't on the Canucks' five-game road trip. Lankinen is 3-1-1 with nine goals allowed over his last five outings, and he's at a 19-9-7 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 35 contests this season. Demko's injury history is concerning enough that the Canucks signed Lankinen to a five-year extension Friday, making it likely that Lankinen will be at least a "1B' option for the next few years. That has value in all fantasy formats, where he's no worse than a No. 3 goalie for virtual squads and will often elevate to No. 2 status when he's seeing significant playing time.

  • Adin Hill G | LV

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Strong showing in win

    Hill allowed one goal on 34 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    It was a close game, and Hill had to be good in his first game action in over two weeks. He allowed a goal to Jake DeBrusk in the second period, but Hill was unbeatable in the third period, allowing the Golden Knights to make a comeback for the win. The 28-year-old netminder has won just three of his last eight games, and he's lost every game in which he gave up more than one goal in that span. Hill is 21-10-4 with a 2.59 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. The Golden Knights are back in action on the road versus the Kings on Monday.

  • Hockey Club's Connor Ingram: Poor showing against Kings

    Ingram stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    The 4 Nations Face-Off break came at a good time for Ingram, who was able to bounce back from an upper-body injury suffered Feb. 9 versus the Capitals. His performance wasn't particularly good Saturday, and he allowed more than three goals for the first time in five outings in this loss. Ingram is 9-8-4 with a 3.27 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 22 contests this season. Utah has been alternating goalies lately, and Karel Vejmelka is likely to start Sunday versus the Canucks. Whether that pattern continues down the stretch will likely depend on each netminder's performance and Utah's ability to stay in the playoff race.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Can't overcome bad start

    Kochetkov made 18 saves on 21 shots in a 6-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday. The fifth and sixth goals were empty-netters, and the second tally was counted as a own goal.

    The score was 4-0 for Toronto by the 15:06 mark of the first period. His teammates scored three times in 2:41, starting at 12:25 of the third period, but the Maple Leafs held on for the victory. Kochetkov is 5-2-2 in his last nine starts while allowing 24 goals.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Overcomes opposing hat trick

    Kuemper stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.

    Kuemper gave up a goal in each period to Barrett Hayton, but the Kings' offense was just a bit stronger overall. This was Kuemper's third straight win to begin February after he went a pedestrian 5-4-1 in January. For the season, the 34-year-old netminder is up to 17-6-6 with a 2.22 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 30 starts. The Kings host the Golden Knights on Monday, which could be another starting opportunity for Kuemper, who has typically handled the workload of a No. 1 goalie when healthy this season.
