Arturs Silovs G | PIT
Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Hangs on for OT win
Silovs made 24 saves on 28 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
It looked like Silovs might get an early hook when the Bruins took a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but the 24-year-old netminder kept his focus and got rewarded when Pittsburgh staged a late rally. Silovs has allowed four goals in back-to-back starts, but over his last eight outings he's gone 6-2-0 with a sharp 2.29 GAA and .916 save percentage. He'll likely continue to share the crease with Stuart Skinner -- the duo has alternated starts since the Olympic break.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Facing Flames
Thompson will protect the home net against Calgary on Monday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Despite allowing just five goals on 52 shots, Thompson has gone 0-2-0 in his last two outings. He has a 21-18-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.41 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 43 appearances. Calgary sits 32nd in the league this season with only 2.47 goals per game.

Dan Vladar G | PHI
Flyers' Dan Vladar: Guarding cage against Rangers
Vladar will be in goal at home versus the Rangers on Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Vladar has appeared in 10 of the Flyers' last 11 contests, going 4-3-2 with a 2.23 GAA and .914 save percentage. While the backstop's ratios are fairly solid, that hasn't necessarily translated into wins during that stretch. Still, the 28-year-old has already reached the 20-win threshold for the first time in his career and is sporting a personal best 2.40 GAA on the year.

Joonas Korpisalo G | BOS
Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Late collapse in OT loss
Korpisalo made 34 saves on 39 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
The Bruins had built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but it slipped away late as Korpisalo was beaten three times on 14 shots in the third period, before Thomas Novak ripped a shot past him just 17 seconds into OT. Korpisalo has given up five goals in back-to-back starts, and over his last five outings he's gone 1-1-3 with a shaky 3.97 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Scott Wedgewood G | COL
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Win streak at four
Wedgewood turned aside 32 of 34 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
The 33-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, and Wedgewood capped another strong performance with a big blocker save on Vladimir Tarasenko in the final round of the shootout. Wedgewood has won four straight outings, including one in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood, and he's allowed just five goals on 102 shots (.951 save percentage) during his win streak.

Jesper Wallstedt G | MIN
Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Falls to Avs in shootout
Wallstedt stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.
The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and an .882 save percentage.

Jacob Markstrom G | NJ
Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Yields three goals in loss
Markstrom turned aside 27 of 30 shots on goal in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Red Wings.
Markstrom fell to Detroit's steady stream of offense Sunday, as he allowed a goal in each period. With the loss, he now has a 19-15-1 record, a 3.05 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 36 outings this season. Sunday's defeat snapped the 36-year-old netminder's four-game win streak. With a 4-2-0 record, a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage across six games since the Olympic break, Markstrom provides good value in fantasy in most league formats for the time being. His next opportunity to bounce back is Thursday against the Flames.

Cam Talbot G | DET
Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Upholds shutout in relief outing
Talbot saved all 10 shots on goal he saw in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win over New Jersey.
Talbot entered Sunday's contest at the start of the third period when John Gibson (undisclosed) was removed for precautionary reasons. Talbot's effort down the stretch helped the Red Wings post their first combined shutout since the 2019-20 campaign. Across four appearances since the Olympic break, the 38-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals on 90 shots (.889 save percentage), which makes him a serviceable fantasy option in deep leagues if Gibson is set to miss time.

Adin Hill G | LV
Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Tough outing against Oilers
Hill stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hill didn't show a great performance, struggling even against a light workload in this loss. Hill has allowed 15 goals over his four appearances since the Olympic break, though he's salvaged a 2-2-0 record from that stretch. The 29-year-old goalie is down to 6-5-3 with a 3.40 GAA and an .859 save percentage through 16 starts this season. If the Golden Knights continue to alternate between Hill and Akira Schmid, Hill's next outing would be against the Penguins on Thursday.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Picks up win over Golden Knights
Ingram stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Ingram did his part in this contest, and the Oilers were able to pull away with three goals in the third period. This was the first time he's logged consecutive wins since his first two outings of the campaign back in December. Ingram is up to 9-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 18 appearances. He still hasn't displayed a lot of game-to-game consistency, but he's getting better results than Tristan Jarry, so the Oilers' crease could remain a timeshare for a while. The Oilers have another tough matchup Tuesday when they visit the Avalanche.
