Connor Hellebuyck G | WPG
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.

Jeremy Swayman G | BOS
Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets starting nod Tuesday
Swayman will be between the pipes at home versus the Kings on Tuesday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Swayman has suffered just one regulation loss in his last seven outings, going 5-1-1 with a 2.41 GAA. With the Bruins holding on to a wild-card spot, the 27-year-old netminder should see plenty of work down the stretch, likely only conceding starts to Joonas Korpisalo in back-to-backs.

Jonathan Quick G | NYR
Rangers' Jonathan Quick: In goal Tuesday
Quick will be in goal at home versus the Flames on Tuesday, Remy Mastey of The Hockey News reports.
Quick will get the nod for just the second time in the Rangers' last seven contests, having given up five goals on 34 shots to the Devils in his other outing. With little to play for the rest of the way, head coach Mike Sullivan could give Quick a few extra starts in what could be the 40-year-old backstop's final season.

Andrei Vasilevskiy G | TB
Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: First off at morning skate
Vasilevskiy is set to patrol the home blue paint against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Vasilevskiy got back in the win column Saturday in Toronto after a rare three-game losing streak, turning aside 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 victory. The Lightning are coming off a spirited 8-7 loss in Buffalo on Sunday, while the Blue Jackets are on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost to the Kings in overtime Monday by a 5-4 score.

Daniil Tarasov G | FLA
Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Drawing start Tuesday
Tarasov will guard the home cage Tuesday against the Red Wings, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
Tarasov has not earned a win since Jan. 25, going 0-4-0 with a 4.04 GAA and an .876 save percentage across his last four outings. Detroit is tied for 20th in the NHL with 2.92 goals per game this season and might be without Dylan Larkin (leg) on Tuesday.

Samuel Ersson G | PHI
Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Needed in relief Monday
Ersson turned aside all three shots he faced after replacing Dan Vladar to begin the third period of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
New York took its foot off the gas over the final 20 minutes, so Ersson was relatively unchallenged during his relief outing. The 26-year-old netminder has made only three appearances since Vladar returned in late January from a lower-body injury, giving up seven goals on 47 shots in that time, but Ersson should get a start during a back-to-back set this week, either Wednesday against the Capitals at home or Thursday on the road in Minnesota.

Dan Vladar G | PHI
Flyers' Dan Vladar: Gets hook against Blueshirts
Vladar gave up six goals on 24 shots before being replaced by Samuel Ersson to begin the third period of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Three of the pucks that got past Vladar came on New York power plays, and he didn't get a lot of help at even strength, either. The six goals allowed were a season worst for the 28-year-old netminder, and since returning from a lower-body injury in late January, Vladar has gone 4-4-2 over 11 outings with a 2.68 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Igor Shesterkin G | NYR
Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Plenty of support in Monday's win
Shesterkin turned aside 32 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.
The Rangers actually got outshot 34-27 on the night, including 13-3 in the third period, but the outcome was never in doubt, thanks in large part to Shesterkin. The veteran netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss since returning after the Olympic break from a lower-body injury, going 3-0-2 in five starts with a 2.73 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Comes up short in OT
Greaves stopped 26 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.
The 24-year-old netminder dealt with a lot of traffic in front of him, but he was able to battle enough to earn a point for the Blue Jackets. Greaves hasn't taken a regulation loss since Jan. 8, going 8-0-2 over his last 11 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage as Columbus makes a push for a playoff spot.

Anton Forsberg G | LA
Kings' Anton Forsberg: Downs former team in OT
Forsberg made 28 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Facing the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2014-15, Forsberg wasn't at his sharpest, but he got just enough support to escape Columbus with a win. The veteran netminder has allowed four or more goals in four of seven outings since the beginning of February, going 2-3-1 with a 3.52 GAA and .886 save percentage.
