    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Continues California dominance

    Wolf made 23 saves Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Sharks.

    Wolf has been an absolute Sharks killer -- he's now 9-2-0 against San Jose. He's been dominant against California teams in general, going 16-2-2 against NHL clubs from his home state. That includes a 4-0-2 record against the Ducks and a 3-0-0 mark against the Kings. Wolf is 16-20-3 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 39 appearances this season.

    Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Appears in relief

    Talbot made three saves in relief Saturday in a 5-0 loss to Colorado. He allowed one goal.

    Talbot came into the game to start the third period. John Gibson had a rough week (0-2-1), but Talbot has had a rough month. The 38-year-old Talbot started just three times in January, and he allowed 10 goals and put up a record of 0-1-2.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Rough week continues

    Gibson allowed four goals on 17 shots before being relieved after two periods in a 5-0 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday.

    The Red Wings came out of the gate fast and had a couple of great scoring chances that they couldn't convert. After that, they became spectators, and Gibson was left to fend for himself. It's been a rough week for the netminder, who is 0-2-1 with nine goals allowed on 61 shots in three games for a save percentage of .852.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting in Vegas

    Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Daccord will get the nod for a second game in a row after earning a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday. It will be Daccord's first instance of consecutive starts since Dec. 18-20, as he's lost playing time to Philipp Grubauer. The Kraken's goalie rotation hasn't exactly been predictable, but Daccord earning a third straight win would likely do a lot to help him in an effort to reclaim a majority of the playing time.

  • Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Third shutout of season

    Blackwood made 28 saves in a 5-0 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday.

    It was Blackwood's third shutout of the season. He's 15-4-1 with a 2.32 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 19 starts (21 appearances). However, he's struggled in his last five outings, going 2-3-0 with 15 goals allowed (.884), even with the shutout. Fingers crossed that this shutout acts like a reboot for the netminder after this recent rough patch.

  • Capitals' Clay Stevenson: Hangs on for first NHL win

    Stevenson turned aside 19 of 22 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

    Stevenson's first outing began on the wrong foot, as he allowed three consecutive goals inside the opening 24 minutes. From that point, he helped turn the game around as the Capitals' offense came to life to steal the win from their division rival. The 26-year-old netminder was called into action for the first time this season due to the absence of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). Saturday's win was the first of Stevenson's career after losing his only other NHL start a season ago. His fantasy value will depend on Thompson's availability, as the Capitals' starting netminder is listed as day-to-day. With Lindgren's move to injured reserve, Stevenson could make a couple of appearances before the break for the 2026 Winter Olympics. If Thompson can't go for Washington's home clash with the Islanders on Monday, Stevenson will likely get the nod.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Struggles late in OT loss

    Andersen stopped 38 of 42 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.

    Andersen soared through the first 27 minutes of regulation against a high volume of shots before he allowed four consecutive goals, including the OT-winner to Washington's Justin Sourdif. With the loss, Andersen now holds a 7-10-5, a 3.26 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. While the 36-year-old netminder has seen a mixed bag of results in January, he hasn't lost in regulation since Jan. 3, earning the Hurricanes at least one point in each of his last five starts. The veteran netminder is becoming a more stable option in net for the Canes, which should lead to him seeing a solid chunk of starts down the stretch behind Brandon Bussi. While rostering Andersen in fantasy comes with risk, his track record and recent outings give him viable fantasy value in two-goalie formats.

  • Jake Allen G | NJ

    Devils' Jake Allen: Set to face Ottawa

    Allen is set to start on the road against Ottawa on Saturday, according to Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

    Allen has a 12-12-1 record, 2.67 GAA and .906 save percentage in 26 outings in 2025-26. He'll attempt to rebound after allowing four goals on 26 shots in a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. Ottawa has won its past two games while outscoring the competition 12-3.

  • Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Expected to face Toronto

    Tolopilo is expected to start at home against Toronto on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Tolopilo has a 3-3-0 record, 3.22 GAA and .903 save percentage in eight appearances in 2025-26. He stopped all 32 shots he faced in Vancouver's 2-0 victory over Anaheim, but he missed a bit of time after being pulled by a concussion spotter, so he didn't record the shutout. Toronto has struggled with a 1-5-2 record over its past eight games, though the Leafs are set to get back William Nylander (groin) on Saturday.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Expected to start Saturday

    Greaves is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Greaves has a 16-12-6 record, 2.69 GAA and .908 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2025-26. He's 4-0-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .915 save percentage across his past five outings. The Blues are 3-8-1 over their past 12 games while averaging 2.45 goals per game over that stretch.
