  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Back in net Tuesday

    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.

  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Posts 16-save shutout

    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.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Starting in Montreal

    Woll will defend the visiting crease Tuesday against the Canadiens, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Woll has dropped three straight outings while allowing 13 goals on 86 shots during that time, and he hasn't been in the win column since Feb. 2. This will be his second start in Montreal this season -- he surrendered four goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss Nov. 22. That was his only regular-season loss to the Canadiens in his career, though, as he's 3-1-0 against them overall.

  • Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Set to face Sabres

    Askarov is expected to defend the road net against Buffalo on Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

    Askarov is coming off a 32-save effort in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Islanders. He has a 19-16-3 record this campaign with a 3.52 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 39 appearances. Buffalo sits sixth in the league with 3.47 goals per game this season.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Beaten once by Ottawa

    Lankinen stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Senators. The other goal was an empty-netter.

    Lankinen did everything in his power to prevent another Canucks loss, but the offense didn't provide him with enough support. Lankinen has gone winless in his last 10 appearances for Vancouver, going 0-7-1 with a 4.52 GAA and an .839 save percentage. As a netminder behind one of the worst defenses in the league, his fantasy appeal is close to non-existent.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Tending twine Tuesday

    Gustavsson will be between the home pipes against the Mammoth on Tuesday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

    Gustavsson has won back-to-back outings and is 5-1-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .922 save percentage since the beginning of February. The Wild should have the upper hand Tuesday, as they have been off since Sunday, while the Mammoth are on the second half of a back-to-back after losing 3-2 in overtime in Chicago on Monday. Gustavsson faced Utah in the first month of the season, conceding five goals on 40 shots in a 6-2 home loss Oct. 25.

  • Blackhawks' Drew Commesso: Earns OT win Monday

    Commesso stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

    Commesso got the start Monday on the second leg of a back-to-back set due to the absence of Spencer Knight (illness), and the 23-year-old stepped up. As long as Knight remains sidelined, Commesso is likely to serve as Arvid Soderblom's understudy. Commesso's not a player worth targeting in most fantasy formats unless you're really short in terms of goaltending depth -- but even in that scenario, he's good only for specific matchups.

  • Mammoth's Vitek Vanecek: Tagged with OT loss

    Vanecek stopped 23 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

    Vanecek has started in two of Utah's last three games, going 1-0-1 while stopping 39 of 42 shots faced. He'll revert to his regular backup role when the Mammoth take on the Wild on Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. With only four appearances since the beginning of the calendar year, it's hard to trust Vanecek into anything more than a streaming option. That said, in those four games, he's gone 2-0-2 with a 2.22 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes against Canes

    Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Carolina on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

    Skinner and fellow backstop Arturs Silovs have been splitting the workload for much of the season, a trend fantasy managers can expect will likely continue down the stretch. The 27-year-old Skinner is currently mired in a four-game losing streak, having gone 0-1-3 with a 2.90 GAA over that stretch. He'll face an uphill battle trying to secure his 20th win of the year with both Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) unavailable.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Slated starter against Anaheim

    Hellebuyck is expected to face the Ducks at home Tuesday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

    Hellebuyck has rounded into form with the Jets lately, winning three games in a row while stopping a combined 64 of 49 shots (.928 save percentage). The Michigan native owns a 16-16-9 record, 2.73 GAA and .902 save percentage over 41 outings in 2025-26. The Ducks rank 13th in the NHL with 3.22 goals per game and are 13-15-2 on the road this season.
