Gustavsson will defend the road net against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson's stretch of solid play between the pipes came to a halt Saturday against the Rangers, a game in which he surrendered four goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss. The Swedish netminder has registered a 24-11-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 appearances this season. Gustavsson has a favorable matchup against a Blackhawks club that sits 30th in the NHL with 2.61 goals per game in 2025-26.

Hellebuyck is slated to draw the home start against the Predators on Tuesday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Hellebuyck got the day off Sunday against St. Louis after appearing in eight straight games since Feb. 27. He was 4-2-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage during that time. Hellebuyck has been excellent in his career against Tuesday's opponent -- he has an 18-9-2 record, 2.38 GAA and .928 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings against the Predators. Hellebuyck also turned aside 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 home win over Nashville on Oct. 18.

Dobes will be between the home pipes in Tuesday's divisional meeting versus Boston.

Dobes has had mixed results lately -- he's 3-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and an .887 save percentage over his last five outings. The 24-year-old will take on a team that has struggled away from TD Garden, as the Bruins are 12-14-6 on the road this season. This will be the fourth matchup between Boston and Montreal in 2025-26, though Dobes has yet to face the Bruins in his career.

Woll will occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Islanders, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Woll has picked up just one victory across his last six outings, going 1-4-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage since the NHL resumed play following the Olympic break. The Islanders have netted 11 goals over their last four games, a stretch in which they are 3-1-0. Woll didn't fare well against the Isles in a start against them earlier this year, conceding four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss, though that game was on Long Island.

Gibson turned aside 26 of 28 shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Gibson earned his first win since Mar. 8 with Tuesday's victory, where he bounced back in the second period and beyond after allowing the game's opening tally in the first. The win brought him up to a 25-15-3 record, a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 45 games this season. The 32-year-old netminder is on pace to make 50 appearances or more this season for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign. With the Red Wings finding their stride again, Gibson still has time to challenge his career-best 31 wins, which he earned across 60 regular-season appearances during the 2017-18 season. He holds solid fantasy value in most standard leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

Wolf stopped 20 of 24 shots on net in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Wolf kept the Red Wings off the scoreboard in the first period before allowing four tallies in the second, including three across the first seven minutes of the period. With Tuesday's loss, he now holds a 19-25-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in five of his last six appearances. While his overall play leaves room for improvement, the young netminder has had inconsistent defensive play in front of him, making his job difficult at times. Wolf's fantasy value is best utilized in deep fantasy leagues moving forward until he and the rest of the Flames take a step up. His next chance to bounce back is Wednesday's clash with the Blues, marking the team's first game at home since Mar. 7.

Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Kings, with Los Angeles' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The star netminder made some big saves to keep the game close, but two goals in a 28-second span during the second period -- one on a delayed penalty that gave the Kings an extra attacker, the other on an actual power play -- sealed the deal for the visitors. It was Shesterkin's first regulation loss since the Olympic break, and over his last eight starts, he's gone 5-1-2 with a 2.71 GAA and .913 save percentage.

Kuemper turned aside 21 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

It took a third-period power play for New York to spoil Kuemper's shutout bid, as Vincent Trocheck tipped home a point shot from the slot. Kuemper has just one regulation loss in March, going 3-1-1 in five starts with a 2.41 GAA and .905 save percentage as the Kings try to claim a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Markstrom stopped 19 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

The veteran netminder gave up two goals on eight shots in the first period, but Markstrom settled down the rest of the way and gave the Devils a chance to rally. Markstrom has allowed three goals or fewer in seven of eight starts since the Olympic break, going 5-3-0 over that stretch with a 2.73 GAA and .896 save percentage while decisively taking over the top spot in the New Jersey crease from Jake Allen.

Korpisalo made 30 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey.

Boston grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Korpisalo gave it back in the second before allowing goals to grinder Paul Cotter in the third period and OT. The veteran netminder has just one win in his last six outings, going 1-1-4 since Jan. 26 with a 3.93 GAA and .876 save percentage.
