Hogberg made 18 saves on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over San Jose.

Hogberg conceded a weak goal to Barclay Goodrow midway through the second period, but that was all that got past the Swede on Saturday. Hogberg has allowed exactly one marker in three consecutive games, posting a 2-1-0 record, .955 save percentage and 1.01 GAA in that span. He has earned a larger share of the crease lately due to Semyon Varlamov (lower body) remaining without a timetable to return. The 30-year-old Hogberg owns a 2-2-0 record, .952 save percentage and 1.32 GAA through six appearances in 2024-25.

Sorokin will start at home Monday against the Blue Jackets, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Sorokin will look to bounce back after allowing four goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Flyers in his last outing. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 13-14-4 with a .900 save percentage and 2.87 GAA this season. Sorokin will face a Columbus team that's averaging 3.30 goals per game, the seventh-best mark in the league.

Swayman stopped 39 of 44 shots through overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Senators.

He was by far the busier goalie during the first 65 minutes, as the Bruins got out-shot 44-28, but the visitors still grabbed a 5-3 lead midway through the third period before Swayman allowed goals to Nick Jensen and Josh Norris in the final four minutes to force OT. Swayman then got out-waited by Tim Stutzle for the only successful shootout attempt. The five goals against were the most Swayman has given up since Dec. 10, but he's bean getting little help from his defense of late, facing more than 40 shots in three straight starts. Swayman has been beaten at least three times in five of his last six outings, going 2-3-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .912 save percentage over that stretch.

Mrazek stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Mrazek was coming off back-to-back losses, against Detroit and Calgary, in his previous two outings but bounced back here. The win was the only positive aspect of this performance, though, as the underlying numbers haven't been very good. Mrazek has allowed three or more goals in six of his last seven appearances, a span in which he's gone 2-5-0 with a 4.47 GAA and an .861 save percentage.

Samsonov stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Samsonov and Adin Hill have been alternating between the pipes for the Golden Knights in recent games, but the former hasn't had good results of late. Samsonov has dropped each of his last three outings while recording a sub-.820 save percentage in his last two. He's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .872 save percentage across five outings in January.

Skinner stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Skinner took his second loss over six outings in January. He's allowed at least three goals in three games during that span. The 26-year-old gave up all three goals in the first period in Saturday's defeat, and the Oilers' offense struggled to do much outside of a pair of Leon Draisaitl tallies in the middle frame. Skinner is down to 18-10-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 31 appearances. The Oilers return home to face the Capitals on Tuesday.

Talbot allowed five goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Alex Lyon for the start of the third period in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.

Talbot surrendered three goals at even strength and two power-play tallies through 40 minutes of game action before ceding the net to Alex Lyon. Talbot was blitzed for three markers in the opening four minutes of the second period, effectively putting the contest out of reach on a night when Andrei Vasilevskiy turned aside 39 shots at the other end of the ice. The 37-year-old Talbot earned his first loss through six outings in January. Overall, the Ontario native has an 11-10-2 record, a .901 save percentage and a 3.07 GAA through 25 appearances in 2024-25.

Demko stopped 13 of 15 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Demko earned his first win since Dec. 23 versus the Sharks in Saturday's contest. A pair of Leon Draisaitl tallies in the second period made things interesting, but the Oilers had only three shots in the third while chasing the game. Demko certainly didn't look sharp, but he did enough to improve to 3-3-3 with a 3.24 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 10 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Sabres.

Vasilevskiy turned aside 39 of 40 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Vasilevskiy turned in one of his better performances of the season Saturday, as it was only the second instance in 2024-25 that he faced at least 40 shots. The 30-year-old has won back-to-back games and four of his last six. The Big Cat has stopped 212 of 230 shots while posting a 4-3-1 record through eight appearances in January. On the season, the Russian netminder is 20-13-2 with a .916 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA through 35 starts.

Kuemper stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Kuemper allowed more than one goal for the first time in six starts. The 34-year-old gave up two goals to Jaden Schwartz in the first period and allowed Chandler Stephenson to put home the decisive tally early in the second. The Kraken handed Kuemper his second regulation loss in his last 13 games. He's now at 13-4-5 with a 2.10 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. The Kings return home to face the Penguins on Monday.
