Woll made 19 saves Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to Dallas.

He's lost two straight games and allowed nine goals in that span, and he's allowed four or more goals in three of his last four games. Woll continues to have solid upside, but the pressure of a heavy workload without the safety net of Anthony Stolarz (knee) seems to be weighing on him. The team has also lost three straight games for the first time since going 0-2-1 from Oct. 22-26. Woll plays behind a great team, so this minor skid will reverse very soon. Keep the faith.

Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.

Kyle Connor had a natural hat trick in the first period, giving Hellebuyck more than enough support. Nils Hoglander had the only goal for the Canucks, spoiling Hellebuyck's shutout bid with 10:44 left in the third period. The 31-year-old goalie has won three straight games while allowing a total of three goals on 74 shots in that span. Overall, he improved to 27-6-2 with a 1.99 GAA and a .929 save percentage through 35 starts. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Kraken on Thursday.

Oettinger made 27 saves in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

Auston Matthews ripped a shot high blocker from the left face-off dot early in the first to open the scoring, but Oettinger shut the door from that point. He was especially strong on special teams, leaving the Leafs power play frustrated twice. Oettinger has won six straight games, and he allowed just 11 goals in that span. Overall, he's 22-9-1 with a 2.31 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Thompson turned aside all 19 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 home win over the Ducks.

Thompson recorded his first shutout of the season and now stands at 19-2-3 through just 24 starts in his inaugural campaign with the Capitals. Only an evenly split workload with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) has hindered Thompson's breakout, but Thompson is expected to get the bulk of the starts with the latter now on the injured list.

Gibson stopped 22 of 25 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 road loss to the Capitals.

Gibson has now conceded his last three starts since a 4-1 win over the Lightning on Jan. 5, allowing three or more goals in each of those losses. The 31-year-old is having a bounce-back season after a couple of down years but is facing a stiff challenge from rookie Lukas Dostal for the starter's workload, which makes him a less reliable fantasy asset than he has been in recent seasons.

Samsonov will defend the road net versus Nashville on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Samsonov is coming off a 24-save effort in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. He has posted a record of 11-4-1 with one shutout, a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Nashville sits 32nd in the league with 2.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

Annunen will protect the home goal versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Annunen has won three of his last five outings, allowing 10 goals on 143 shots (.930 save percentage) in that span. He'll draw a tough assignment as the Golden Knights have won four of their last six games with 17 goals scored over that stretch.

Markstrom will protect the home net versus Florida on Tuesday, according to Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

Markstrom is coming off a 23-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over Tampa Bay. He has a 21-8-3 record with three shutouts, 2.19 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 32 appearances this season. Florida ranks ninth in the league with 3.25 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 4-3 to Philadelphia on Monday.

Vasilevskiy will defend the road net versus the Bruins on Tuesday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Vasilevskiy is coming off a 23-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey. He has posted a record of 18-12-2 with two shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 32 appearances this season. Boston sits 28th in the league with 2.58 goals per game in 2024-25.

Vladar will protect the road goal versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Vladar will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Dustin Wolf was in goal for Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. This is the first of two games in a row between Calgary and St. Louis. Vladar has had mixed results on the road this year, going 3-4-3 with a 3.07 GAA and an .892 save percentage,
