Milic logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 4-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Milic has recorded shutouts in consecutive games, giving him three on the year. He's up to 14-7-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Milic's recent momentum could position him well for a call-up if something happens to one of the Jets' NHL netminders.

Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Hellebuyck's three-game winning streak came to a close. This was his first regulation loss since Feb. 4 versus the Canadiens. The 32-year-old netminder has at least looked pretty good recently, though his two worst outings have seen him give up eight goals on 74 shots against the Ducks. For the season, Hellebuyck is down to 16-17-9 with a 2.74 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 42 starts. The Jets have a more favorable matchup ahead Thursday when they host the Rangers.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

It wasn't Vasilevskiy's fault. Coach Jon Cooper summed things up to reporters after the game: "Tonight was abnormally bad... This little rut we're in has lasted a lot longer than I anticipated." Tampa Bay has lost six of seven. Vasilevskiy is 1-4-0 in that span.

Dostal stopped 12 of 13 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

The Ducks were all over this game, making Dostal's job pretty easy in the end. This was his seventh win in his last eight outings, and it's the third time in that span he's held an opponent to two or fewer goals. For the season, the 25-year-old goalie improved to 26-14-2 with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 44 appearances. The Ducks have three games over four days from Thursday to Sunday, making stops in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal -- expect Dostal to start two of those three contests.

Ingram (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Ingram was hurt on a collision in the crease that saw Nathan MacKinnon receive a major penalty and game misconduct. Ingram allowed two goals on 17 shots prior to his injury, which puts the Oilers in a tough spot as the struggling Tristan Jarry will take over the top goaltending job while Ingram is sidelined. It's not yet clear if Ingram will be able to accompany the Oilers for the rest of their road trip, which ends with a back-to-back featuring games in Dallas on Thursday and in St. Louis on Friday.

Lindbom recorded a 30-save shutout in AHL Henderson's 5-0 win over Tucson on Tuesday.

Lindbom delivered his third shutout of the season to keep the Silver Knights rolling. He's up to 13-5-4 with a 2.04 GAA and a .931 save percentage in 22 contests this season. With Jesper Vikman getting traded to the Capitals' organization last week, Lindbom is now firmly in control of the crease for Henderson to close out this season.

Merzlikins made 16 saves in a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He put up an assist.

Merzlikins was sharp all night. He had no chance on the first goal, which was a sharp tip over his left shoulder. The second came through a screen off a point shot. Merzlikins and Jet Greaves have been pretty much alternating starts since the end of January. If that pattern continues, Greaves will see time against Florida on Thursday, and Merzlikins will be in net Saturday. Wait for the official update Thursday before setting your daily roster.

Hill stopped 14 of 16 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Hill has now lost three of his last four outings, allowing 13 goals on 82 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder gave up both goals Tuesday in a span of 3:35 during the second period. Hill dropped to 6-6-3 with a 3.32 GAA and an .859 save percentage through 17 starts this season. Usually, playing in Vegas is enough to make a goalie intriguing in fantasy, but Hill's failing to rack up wins, and the team's tight defense is suppressing his save percentage. The Golden Knights' next game is Thursday versus the Penguins, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Akira Schmid start that contest.

Oettinger stopped 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Oettinger saw his eight-game winning streak end versus the Avalanche on Friday, but he bounced right back in a tough matchup. Jack Eichel's goal early in the second period was all Oettinger allowed in this contest. The 27-year-old netminder improved to 26-10-5 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. The schedule's not getting any easier, though -- the Stars' next game is Thursday at home versus the Oilers.

Dobes made 17 saves in a 3-1 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

Dobes has two wins in a row, and he's 6-1-1 with 23 goals allowed in his nine starts since Jan. 27. He has started four of the team's last five games (3-1-0) and eight of the last 11. The Habs (80 points), who are third in the Atlantic, remain in a dogfight with the Red Wings (79 points) and Bruins (78 points), who are currently sitting in wild-card spots. Dobes is clearly their man in the blue paint right now ahead of Sam Montembeault.
