Wolf stopped 28 of 32 shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 win over New Jersey.

Wolf allowed just one goal in each period Thursday until New Jersey's Luke Hughes added a fourth goal with four seconds remaining in the contest. With the win, Wolf is up to a 19-24-3 record, a 3.04 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 47 outings this season. While he's been able to work his way into the win column in two of his last four appearances, he's allowed four goals in each of those outings. The uptick in goals allowed could be attributed to his heavy workload, as he ranks third among all goaltenders in games played this season. Despite his recent GAA, Wolf tends to face a steady stream of shots each game and usually produces 25-plus save outings, giving him good fantasy value in leagues that track saves.

Silovs stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Silovs has allowed 14 goals on 69 shots over his last three outings, and he's lucky to come away with one win in that span. If his struggles continue, it wouldn't be surprising to see Stuart Skinner gain playing time, though the Penguins have mostly stuck to a strict goalie rotation throughout the campaign. The 24-year-old Silovs is down to 14-9-8 with a 2.93 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 31 appearances. Skinner will likely get the nod Saturday in Utah, and if the rotation continues, Silovs would get the unenviable matchup in Colorado on Monday.

Dostal made 22 saves in a 6-4 loss to Toronto on Thursday. He allowed five goals.

Dostal is 5-2-0 in seven games since the Olympic break. But he's allowed five goals four times in that span, and four or more in five. That's a concerning stat as the Ducks try to hold onto a spot in the Pacific. Dostal will play a critical role in trying to stave off Vegas, which is one point back.

Hill stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

The Golden Knights' offense was good, but Hill also put in a steady performance, limiting the Penguins to the second period for their goals. Hill had lost three of his previous four outings entering Thursday. The 29-year-old netminder improved to 7-6-3 with a 3.24 GAA and an .864 save percentage through 18 outings this season, so there's still some risk with counting on him in fantasy. The Golden Knights host the Blackhawks on Saturday.

Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

The Predators really needed this game, but Saros let in two goals over a span of 3:04 late in the third period and then gave up the lone tally in the shootout to take the loss. He's 2-2-2 with 17 goals over his last six outings, providing steady but average goaltending. The 30-year-old is down to 23-19-7 with a 3.15 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 50 starts. The Predators' next matchup is a tough one in Edmonton on Sunday, a team Saros has historically struggled against.

Tolopilo stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

Vancouver was able to get the win after a third-period rally to force overtime. Tolopilo was perfect in the extra session and the shootout, picking up his second win in a row despite the lackluster performance overall. He's now 5-5-2 with a 3.21 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Saturday versus the Kraken. Expect Tolopilo and Kevin Lankinen to continue sharing the crease, though neither has much rest-of-season upside on the NHL's worst team.

Grubauer stopped nine of 11 shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Grubauer played the final two periods and gave up a goal in each one. He's now winless over his last four outings, giving up 13 goals on 100 shots in that span. Daccord hasn't exactly been a stud lately either, but he's done enough to push Grubauer into the backup role. Grubauer is 11-8-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 25 appearances. Both goalies should get a look this weekend, as the Kraken visit the Canucks on Saturday before hosting the Panthers on Sunday.

Woll made 36 saves in a 6-4 win over the Ducks on Thursday.

It was Woll's first win since the Olympic break (1-4-0) and Toronto's, too -- they are 1-5-2 in that span. Things won't get easy any time soon. Captain Auston Matthews (knee) was knocked out of the game on a dirty hit by Radko Gudas, and his two-way skill will be sorely missed by his netminders.

Daccord stopped 12 of 15 shots in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Daccord made his third straight start but struggled once again. He's allowed 13 goals on 78 shots in those games, losing all three, but he's had the majority of the playing time over Philipp Grubauer lately. Daccord is now 18-16-5 with a 2.92 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 39 starts this season. He can be trusted in favorable matchups, so he may find success in this weekend's back-to-back as the Kraken visit the Canucks on Saturday before hosting the Panthers on Sunday. Daccord and Grubauer will likely split those games.

Wedgewood stopped 28 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Wedgewood picked up his fifth win in a row with this performance. In that span, he's allowed just six goals on 131 shots. The 33-year-old's lone misstep Thursday came on Ryker Evans' shorthanded tally in the second period, which was the product of a Colorado turnover. Wedgewood improved to 25-4-5 with a 2.16 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 36 appearances. The Avalanche visit the Jets on Saturday.
