Fedotov stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Fedotov gave up a power-play goal to Rasmus Dahlin and an even-strength tally to Ryan McLeod, both in the third period, but he was very good the rest of the way en route to his third straight win. The netminder owns a 2.22 GAA and a .918 save percentage amid his current winning streak, as he continues to turn his season around following a woeful start.

Montembeault made 25 saves in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Montreal took control in the third period, but Montembeault came up with some big stops early while the game still hung in the balance. The 28-year-old netminder has given up just three goals on 57 shots over his last three appearances, but on the season he's 5-8-1 with a 3.09 GAA and .898 save percentage while working behind a shaky Habs blue line.

Levi stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. Philadelphia's fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Levi made his second straight start with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) sidelined once again, and the results weren't pretty. Levi has posted a sub-.890 save percentage in each of his last five outings, going 1-4-0 with a 4.60 GAA and .846 save percentage in that stretch. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Levi will remain between the pipes until Luukkonen is ready to return, unless the coaching staff decides to give James Reimer an opportunity amid Levi's struggles.

Tarasov turned aside 25 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.

The 25-year-old netminder kept things close through two periods, but the Blue Jackets' defense fell apart in the third and Tarasov gave up three goals in less than five minutes as the Habs blew the game open. Tarasov has made eight starts this season and given up four goals or more in five of them, leaving him with a 4.03 GAA and .861 save percentage to go along with a 3-4-1 record.

Bobrovsky stopped 27 shots in a 5-0 shutout win over the Jets on Saturday.

Bobrovsky bounced back admirably from the ugly loss he suffered against the Devils on Thursday, when he stopped just 23 of 28 shots in a 6-2 defeat. This was his first shutout of the season, and it came against arguably the hottest team in the NHL. Even including that woeful loss against New Jersey, Bobrovsky has been very good lately. He owns a 4-1-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .904 save percentage in five outings this month.

Daccord stopped 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

The 28-year-old netminder has won four straight starts as he's seized hold of the top job in the Seattle crease. On the season, Daccord is 8-3-1 with a 2.51 GAA and .918 save percentage, and he's given up three goals or fewer in seven straight outings.

Sorokin made 24 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

The Isles held the lead early in the third period but Sorokin couldn't make it stick, giving up two goals in the final frame. The 29-year-old netminder has allowed at least three goals in six straight starts to begin the month of November, going 2-2-2 with a 3.43 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers.

Hellebuyck entered this game on a six-game winning run, but that streak was snapped abruptly by the defending Stanley Cup champions. The star goaltender, who's looking like an early favorite to win the Vezina Trophy, gave up goals in each period for a second straight outing. Still, one bad start won't erase his excellent performances over the last month-plus. He'll aim to bounce back Tuesday in a rematch against Florida.

Soderblom stopped 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The last two goals were empty-netters.

The final score looks bad, but Soderblom kept the Blackhawks in it when he was on the ice. Despite a strong effort, he dropped to 1-3-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .934 save percentage through five outings this season. Laurent Brossoit's recovery from knee surgery has taken much longer than anticipated, but the Blackhawks haven't needed to rush him back thanks to Soderblom's strong play in the backup role. The team returns home to face the Ducks on Tuesday, though it'll likely be Petr Mrazek between the pipes for that contest.

Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

It was a closer game than the final score suggests, with Silovs doing his part to keep it that way until the Canucks' offense stepped up. Silovs earned his first win in five appearances this season (1-2-1), and he's allowed 16 goals on 107 shots for an .850 save percentage. Kevin Lankinen has started to falter under a heavy workload, so getting Silovs playing better could help the Canucks stay afloat until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. It'll likely be Lankinen in goal against one of his former teams, the Predators, in Sunday's home contest.
