NHL Player News

Andersen is expected to start at home versus the Penguins on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

Andersen is set to make his fourth start in the last six games -- he's 2-1-0 with a 2.38 GAA and an .883 save percentage over his last three appearances. The Penguins snapped a three-game losing streak in a 5-4 overtime win over Boston on Sunday, but they will still be without Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) on Tuesday. Andersen conceded five goals on 28 shots during a loss against Pittsburgh on Dec. 30, but that game was on the road.

Dostal will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash with Winnipeg, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Dostal has given up four or more goals in four of his last seven outings, but he has still managed to post a 6-1-0 record along the way. The 25-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best with his 25 victories this year and should reach the 30-win threshold before the end of the campaign.

Ingram will occupy the road net Tuesday against the Avalanche, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Ingram has won back-to-back starts and three of his last four, but he's allowed at least four goals in two of those outings. The Saskatchewan native is 9-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. The Avalanche are 23-4-4 at home and have generated 3.79 goals per game in 2025-26, which is the best mark in the NHL, so Ingram will be hard to trust Tuesday.

Hofer will tend the home twine versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Hofer is currently playing at an extremely high level -- he's 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .962 save percentage over his last four starts. The Blues will also get a boost on the blue line Tuesday, as Colton Parayko (back) will return to the lineup. As for the Islanders, they are coming off a 2-1 overtime win in San Jose on Saturday after dropping the first two games of their road trip in Anaheim and Los Angeles.

Kuemper is expected to start on the road Tuesday against the Bruins, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Anton Forsberg was in goal for Monday's 5-4 overtime win in Columbus, so Kuemper will have a difficult task against a Boston team that is not on the second half of a back-to-back. The Bruins have also won 12 straight games at TD Garden and are 24-8-1 overall on home ice. Kuemper turned in a solid performance against Boston in Los Angeles on Nov. 21, stopping 24 of 26 shots, but the Kings lost that game 2-1 in overtime.

Lyon will protect the home net against San Jose on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Lyon has stopped 77 of the 83 shots he has faced during his three-game winning streak. He has been splitting starts with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen lately. Lyon has a 17-8-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.64 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 30 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.07 goals per game this season.

Oettinger will be in goal for Tuesday's home matchup versus the Golden Knights, per Brien Rea of Victory+.

Oettinger's eight-game winning streak was snapped Friday, but it came at the hands of the league's top team, the Avalanche. The 27-year-old netminder has a 25-10-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.70 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 40 appearances in 2025-26. Oettinger allowed four goals on 21 shots in Vegas on Jan. 29, but he was victorious during that game in a 5-4 result in a shootout.

Blackwood is expected to guard the cage at home versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Although Blackwood has split the workload over the Avs' last three games, he has still featured in 10 of the club's last 14 outings. During that stretch, the 29-year-old netminder is 5-4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and one shutout. With just two more victories, Blackwood will get over the 20-win threshold for the second straight year.

Gibson (undisclosed) will guard the road net against Florida on Tuesday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Gibson left Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey after a collision late in the second period, but he won't miss additional action because of the issue. He earned the win in the contest after stopping all 21 of the shots he faced before his exit. Gibson has a 24-13-2 record this season with four shutouts, a 2.52 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 41 appearances. Florida sits 19th in the league with 2.97 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Reimer stopped all 16 shots he faced in Monday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

If there was a game where Reimer could've earned his first shutout of the season, this was it -- he didn't have a lot of work against one of the worst offenses in the league. Reimer has won three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 28, going 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage over that span. Reimer should remain the No. 2 option between the pipes behind Linus Ullmark, though, so his fantasy role remains limited and matchup-based until further notice.
