Ingram allowed three goals on 25 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Ingram wasn't able to maintain a 2-0 lead over the last 10 minutes of regulation. The collapse continued when Robert Thomas scored at 4:51 of overtime to send the Oilers to a defeat. Ingram has allowed 16 goals on 123 shots (.870 save percentage) over his last five appearances. He has a 9-6-2 record with a 2.79 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 20 contests this season. Ingram and Tristan Jarry will continue to battle for playing time, though with no back-to-back sets over the next week, a clear starter could emerge. The Oilers' next game is Sunday at home versus the Predators.

Hofer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

The Oilers led 2-0 midway through the third period, but Hofer locked in to let the Blues make a comeback. The 25-year-old Hofer has won five of his last six outings, giving up two or fewer goals in all five of his victories in that span. He's up to 17-11-4 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 appearances. Both Hofer and Jordan Binnington had thrived since the Olympic break, though Hofer continues to see a slight edge for playing time. The Blues have a three-game road trip up next, facing the Jets, Flames and Canucks in a trio of favorable matchups, so Hofer's a decent fantasy option over the next week-plus.

Sorokin allowed three goals on 27 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

All three goals against came in the first period. Sorokin was steady after that, but the Islanders weren't able to pull off another comeback win. Sorokin has gone 2-2-0 with 12 goals allowed on 116 shots over four contests in March. The 30-year-old is down to 24-15-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. David Rittich will play Saturday versus the Flames, but Sorokin should be back between the pipes for a favorable matchup Tuesday in Toronto.

Kuemper stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Kuemper had a 3-0 lead to work with after one period, and he was able to protect it despite allowing a goal to Emil Heineman in each subsequent frame. This was Kuemper's second win in four outings in March. The 35-year-old goalie is up to 16-13-10 with a 2.68 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 41 starts this season. Look for Anton Forsberg to get the nod in Saturday's game versus the Devils to finish off this back-to-back set.

Domingue recorded an 18-save shutout in AHL Charlotte's 3-0 win over Bridgeport on Friday.

This was Domingue's first shutout of the season. He has gone 4-3-0 with a 2.78 GAA and an .852 save percentage over eight appearances for Charlotte. The netminder provides the Panthers with some organizational depth should something sideline Sergei Bobrovsky or Daniil Tarasov in the last month-plus of the NHL season.

Hofer will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Hofer has gone 4-0-1 with just eight goals allowed on 154 shots (.948 save percentage) over five games since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old netminder continues to play well, but he'll need to be sharp against the Oilers, who figure to be ornery after their 7-2 loss to the Stars on Thursday. Hofer will catch a slight break since Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) isn't in Edmonton's lineup Friday.

Ingram will guard the road goal versus the Blues on Friday, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram is set to handle the second half of a back-to-back. He was able to back up versus the Stars on Thursday after an injury scare. Tristan Jarry ended up taking a 7-2 loss to the Stars, so Ingram will look to get the Oilers back on track in an easier matchup.

Kuemper is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Friday, per Mayor's Manor.

Kuemper has a 15-13-10 record, 2.70 GAA and .897 save percentage in 40 appearances in 2025-26. He's struggled recently, posting a 1-3-1 record, 3.84 GAA and .857 save percentage across his past five outings. The Islanders have been fantastic across their past nine games, going 7-2-0 while averaging 3.44 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Hellebuyck didn't have his best performance in this game and posted a woeful .688 save percentage -- his lowest mark in a single game in which he started in the current campaign. However, this was the first time he allowed more than three goals in a game since the beginning of March. In six starts, Hellebuyck has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .901 save percentage this month.

Shesterkin stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Shesterkin has won his last three starts and has allowed two goals or fewer in two of those wins. The Rangers are all but eliminated from postseason contention, but Shesterkin should remain a valuable fantasy asset in most formats. He owns a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage in six appearances since the Olympic break, going 4-0-2 in that span.
