NHL Player News

Gustavsson will defend the home crease versus the Blues on Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Gustavsson recorded his third shutout of the campaign in Saturday's 4-0 convincing road win over the Hurricanes. The Blues have scored 2.76 goals per game, which ranks 24th in the league. The Swedish netminder has been spectacular in five career games against St. Louis with a 4-1-0 record, 1.82 GAA and .935 save percentage.

Woll is slated to start in Tuesday's road matchup against the Flyers, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

Woll is on a winning streak of at least four games for the second time in 2024-25. The 26-year-old has allowed two goals or less in three of those four outings during this current stretch. The Flyers are 3-6-0 in their last nine games.

Shesterkin (upper body) participated in Tuesday's morning skate but isn't ready to return to the lineup, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Shesterkin remains on injured reserve and will miss his fourth straight game against Dallas on Tuesday. Jonathan Quick will start the Rangers' home matchup, and Louis Domingue will be the backup.

Blackwood turned aside 26 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

The 28-year-old netminder continues to thrive since joining the Avs about a month ago. Blackwood hasn't taken a regulation loss in seven straight outings, going 6-0-1 with an eye-popping 1.58 GAA and .939 save percentage. With Scott Wedgewood (lower body) on the shelf, Blackwood should continue to see a heavy workload for Colorado.

Hellebuyck is expected to draw the home start versus the Predators on Tuesday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

After closing out December with six consecutive wins, Hellebuyck is 0-1-1 and has allowed seven goals over two starts in January. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner will have a chance to rebound against a Nashville club that ranks last in the NHL with 2.45 goals per game. Hellebuyck has a 16-9-2 record, 2.44 GAA and .927 save percentage in 28 career games against the Predators.

Bobrovsky stopped 31 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche, with Colorado's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The veteran netminder had a shutout going late in the second period until Devon Toews' point shot hit the crossbar, bounced off the ice and then caromed into the net off Bobrovsky's backside to tie the game at 1-1. Toews then scored again midway through the third, and the Panthers couldn't find a response. Bobrovsky has lost three of his last four starts despite playing well due to a sudden lack of offensive support -- the Panthers scored just two goals total in those four games. Over his last 10 outings, Bobrovsky is 6-4-0 with a 2.28 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

Lyon will start in Tuesday's home game against the Senators, Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Lyon has won three consecutive games while allowing just two goals in each outing. The 32-year-old stopped 21 shots in a 4-2 road win over Winnipeg in his last start. The Senators sit 20th in the NHL with 2.95 goals per game.

Jarry was the first goalie off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll tend the home twine against the Blue Jackets, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Jarry made 31 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Florida on Friday to open the new calendar year. The Blue Jackets have generated 135 goals through 40 games, which is tied for the seventh-highest mark in the NHL. Jarry owns an 8-2-1 record, .916 save percentage and 2.63 GAA over 12 career appearances against Columbus.

Merzlikins will protect the road crease against the Penguins on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers relays.

Merzlikins has won three of his last four starts but has conceded at least three goals in three of those outings. The Latvian netminder hasn't fared well in nine career games against the Penguins, sporting a 2-6-0 record, .896 save percentage and 3.78 GAA. Pittsburgh is 0-1-2 in its last three games.

Montembeault made 16 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Montreal fell behind 3-1 early in the second period, but Montembeault was able to keep his focus despite a lack of activity and give his squad a chance to mount a comeback. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in three of his last five starts, and over his last 10 outings, he sports a shaky 3.19 GAA and .877 save percentage despite a 6-4-0 record.
