  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Starting outdoor battle

    Swayman will start Sunday's Stadium Series game against the Lightning, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Swayman will make his third straight start and try to pick up a fourth consecutive win in an outdoor game at Raymond James Stadium as part of the Stadium Series. It will be his first career appearance in an outdoor game. The 27-year-old is 22-12-2 on the season with a 2.87 GAA and a .903 save percentage. The Lightning will present a challenge for the Bruins' goaltender, as Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.46 goals per game.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tending twine Sunday

    Forsberg will be between the pipes for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Forsberg will get the second half of the Kings' back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Philadelphia. The 33-year-old Forsberg has a 9-6-4 record with a 2.48 GAA, a .910 save percentage and one shutout through 20 appearances this season. Carolina ranks fifth in the league with 3.41 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Lands on waivers

    Pickard was placed on waivers Sunday.

    Pickard has a 5-6-2 record with a 3.68 GAA and an .871 save percentage in 16 appearances for the Oilers this season. Assuming he clears waivers, the 33-year-old netminder will probably head to AHL Bakersfield. With Pickard poised to lose his roster spot, Edmonton will go with Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram as its two goaltenders.

  • Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Starting against LA

    Bussi will get the start Sunday against the Kings, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Three days after becoming the fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach 20 wins, Bussi will get yet another start. The 27-year-old rookie needed just 24 games to reach that milestone as he carries a 20-3-1 record, 2.22 GAA and .906 save percentage into his 25th NHL start. The Kings rank 28th in the league at 2.58 goals per game.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Makes 38 saves in loss

    Sorokin stopped 38 of 42 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

    Sorokin was coming off back-to-back wins over the Flyers and Rangers, but he struggled while facing a large workload in Saturday's loss. His 38 saves and 42 shots against were both the second-highest marks of Sorokin's season. Sorokin won six of his nine starts in January, going 6-3-0 with a 2.13 GAA and a .931 save percentage.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Earns win Saturday

    Saros stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

    Saros has been inconsistent from a win-loss perspective, and he's won just two of his last five outings while going 2-2-1 with a 3.90 GAA and an .872 save percentage. Those performances are far from eye-popping, so it's hard to trust him right now, making him a matchup-based option based on his recent struggles.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Beaten three times Saturday

    Lyon stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.

    Lyon had been in an impressive stretch of late, and this was his first defeat since Nov. 28, when he allowed five goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Devils. Lyon has a 1.77 GAA and a .945 save percentage in four outings in January, and while fantasy managers should continue to trust him, the upcoming stretch of road games against Florida and Tampa Bay is far from favorable for the 33-year-old netminder.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Extends winning run

    Dobes stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

    Dobes has started each of the Canadiens' last three games and has performed at a high level, posting a save percentage of at least .940 in two of those contests. In six starts since the beginning of January, Dobes has posted a 2.97 GAA with an .893 save percentage.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Gets little help in Saturday's loss

    Bobrovsky turned aside 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

    The veteran netminder blanked the visitors through the first 40 minutes, but after the Panthers' offense wasn't able to get much going through the first two frames, their defense collapsed as well in the third. Since a nine-goal disaster against the Hurricanes on Jan. 16, Bobrovsky has rallied somewhat, but he's still gone just 1-3-0 over his last four starts with a 2.75 GAA and .875 save percentage while working in a strict timeshare with Daniil Tarasov, who has a 3-1-0 record, 2.21 GAA and .905 save percentage over that same stretch.

  • Eric Comrie G | WPG

    Jets' Eric Comrie: Sharp in Saturday's win

    Comrie stopped 27 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

    Eetu Luostarinen redirected a shot past Comrie midway through the first period, but the veteran backup shut the door the rest of the way. Comrie has won three straight starts dating back to Jan. 9 as he plays sparingly behind Connor Hellebuyck. On the season, Comrie's 9-9-1 with a 3.07 GAA and .892 save percentage.
