Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 38 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Maybe there are some fatigue issues that are plaguing Hellebuyck down the stretch, but the star netminder has allowed 11 goals on 58 shots over his last two starts -- both losses against the Flyers and Golden Knights. The Jets were eliminated from playoff contention with this loss, so it remains to be seen whether Hellebuyck will start in either of the team's final two games of the regular season, beginning with a Tuesday matchup at Utah.

Kokko stopped 25 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.

Kokko made his second straight start since both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Daccord (lower body) are sidelined. Unlike Saturday when he recorded a win over the Flames, though, he couldn't come out on top this time around. Through two starts, Kokko has stopped 51 of 56 shots faced, and he's likely to remain as the No. 1 option between the pipes in at least one of Seattle's final two games of the regular season. The Kraken are playing the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Avalanche on Thursday.

Skinner was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road against the Blues.

Skinner is set to take the regular-season finale, which figures to be a nice tune-up for the veteran netminder before he heads into the playoffs as Pittsburgh's No. 1 option in the crease. Since being acquired by the team via trade this season, the Edmonton native has gone 12-9-5 with a 2.91 GAA and .887 save percentage in 26 contests.

Forsberg stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Forsberg has won each of his last five starts, and aside from helping the Kings clinch a playoff berth with this win, he's also proving to be an excellent fantasy asset across all formats. Over the course of his winning run, Forsberg has posted a 1.37 GAA and an elite .949 save percentage, so he should enter the postseason on a scorching-hot run of play. The Kings have two games left before the end of the regular season, as they'll face the Canucks on Tuesday and the Flames on Thursday. It remains to be seen if Forsberg will start either of those contests with the team's playoff berth already established.

Ingram stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Ingram might be ending the season on a sour note from a record perspective, as he's won just one of his last three starts, but he isn't the one to blame for that record. Ingram has posted a 1.48 GAA and an excellent .935 save percentage over that stretch, so he remains a strong fantasy option in most formats. The Oilers will play their final game of the regular season Thursday at home against Vancouver.

Wedgewood stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's shootout win over the Oilers.

Wedgewood was beaten by a Connor McDavid wrister in the second period, but other than that, he was excellent between the pipes. Wedgewood has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL in 2025-26 and is a big reason why the Avalanche will finish the regular season with the league's best record. He's also ending the campaign on a hot streak with five wins over his last six appearances, posting a 1.28 GAA and a .948 save percentage in that span.

Daws will guard the road goal against the Bruins on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Daws is coming off a 27-save effort in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa. He has a 2-0-0 record in two NHL appearances this season, stopping 57 of 61 shots. Boston ranks 11th in the league during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.26 goals per game.

Vejmelka (undisclosed) was the first goalie off at Tuesday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll start at home against the Jets.

Vejmelka didn't dress for Sunday's game against Calgary for an undisclosed reason, but he'll tend the twine in the Mammoth's penultimate regular-season game. He's been effective in recent weeks, going 5-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .897 save percentage across his last six starts, and he'll presumably serve as Utah's top option in the crease once the playoffs begin.

Rittich is expected to protect the home net against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Luca Dallasta of the Islanders' official site.

Rittich will make his first start since March 24 against Chicago, when he allowed three goals on 12 shots before being pulled after the first period. He has a 14-9-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 29 appearances. Carolina sits second in the league with 3.57 goals per game this season.

Dobes will be in goal Tuesday in Philadelphia, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Dobes allowed at least three goals in three of his last four appearances, but he came out with a 3-1-0 record during that time. His seven-game winning streak was snapped Saturday, though, as he allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-2 home loss to Columbus. As far as Tuesday's game, the Flyers are on the second half of a back-to-back and will likely rest some of their regulars, while the Canadiens are playing for home ice in their first-round series against the Lightning.
