    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Back in win column Sunday

    Daccord halted 27 of 29 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.

    Daccord ended a three-game losing streak with Sunday's victory. He was perfect at even strength and surrendered just two power-play goals in the contest. With the win, the 29-year-old goaltender is up to a 13-12-5 record, a 2.89 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. While he's less than halfway to replicating the 27-win season he posted across 57 outings a season ago, he's slated to play a big role down the stretch as the Kraken challenge for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Daccord holds solid fantasy value across most two-goalie fantasy formats and is on track to post a .900-plus save percentage for the third consecutive year. His next chance to take the ice is Tuesday in a home matchup versus the Capitals.

  • Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Yields three goals in loss

    Markstrom stopped 15 of 18 shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Markstrom posted a solid performance through the first two periods before he allowed two goals in an 18-second span in the third. With the loss, he now holds a 14-12-1 record, a 3.29 GAA and an .879 save percentage through 28 outings this season. Despite the late struggles in Sunday's contest, the 35-year-old netminder has been solid lately with a 4-2-0 record and a 2.65 GAA over his last six appearances. With the veteran goalie bouncing back after a rough start to the season, he has worked his way back into decent fantasy value in two-goalie formats. His next chance to find the win column is in Tuesday's home game against the Jets.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Between pipes against Islanders

    Ersson was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders.

    Ersson has had mixed results over his last four outings, going 2-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 112 shots (.893 save percentage). He's made a pair of starts against the Islanders this year -- one at home and one on the road -- both of which were shootout wins. He allowed a total of six goals on 57 shots in those games.

  • Mads Sogaard G | OTT

    Senators' Mads Sogaard: Earns first win of season

    Sogaard stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights.

    Sogaard made his first start of the season Sunday and looked surprisingly competent, as he was less than five minutes away from posting a shutout until Rasmus Andersson scored with a wrister late in the third period. The 25-year-old isn't expected to see regular playing time any time soon, and now that Linus Ullmark, who operated as the backup Sunday, is back with the team, Sogaard should return to AHL Belleville. This means Ullmark should return to the No. 1 role with James Reimer as his backup.

  • Adin Hill G | LV

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Beaten seven times Sunday

    Hill stopped 24 of 31 shots in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.

    Making just his fourth start since returning from a lower-body injury that caused him to miss 38 consecutive games between Oct. 25 and Jan. 14, Hill posted an underwhelming effort while allowing a season-worst seven goals. The sample is small, as Hill has made just nine appearances (eight starts) this season, but this is the third time in which he's allowed five or more goals. The 29-year-old owns a 3.53 GAA and an .855 save percentage this season. This was the first time Hill made consecutive starts since Oct. 18 and Oct. 20.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Rough showing in overtime loss

    Wolf surrendered four goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

    Wolf continues to struggle in January -- he's allowed four goals in seven of his eight outings this month, going 1-6-1. The 24-year-old was done in by a Beckett Sennecke hat trick in this contest. Wolf is down to 15-20-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 39 appearances after this latest defeat. He's slipped into a timeshare with Devin Cooley, and if they continue to alternate starts, it would be Cooley getting the road start in Minnesota on Thursday before Wolf would start at home Saturday versus Wolf's hometown team, the Sharks.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Keeps winning streak alive

    Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

    Dostal picked up his sixth straight win, though the Flames didn't make it easy. The Ducks' offense was carried by rookie Beckett Sennecke's first hat trick, with the game-winner securing the hattie in overtime. Dostal has allowed 12 goals during his winning streak and is up to 19-12-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 appearances. The Ducks will likely turn to Ville Husso for a tough matchup Monday in Edmonton.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Loses to former team

    Knight allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers, who also scored an empty-netter.

    Knight kept the game close for two periods, but the Panthers took over in the third. The 24-year-old netminder had not allowed more than three goals in any of his previous eight outings, going 5-2-1 in that span. Overall, he's down to a 15-14-6 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 35 starts this season. The Blackhawks will look to bounce back Tuesday in Minnesota.

  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Light work in win

    Tarasov stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Tarasov didn't have to do too much in this contest. He allowed a goal to Tyler Bertuzzi late in the second period, but the Panthers bounced back with a four-goal third to cruise to the win. Tarasov has allowed just five goals on 90 shots during his four-game winning streak. For the season, he's up to 8-6-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 17 appearances. Sergei Bobrovsky is likely to be back between the pipes for Tuesday's home game versus the Mammoth.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Takes another loss

    Lankinen allowed three goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Lankinen took his fifth regulation loss in his last six outings, and it was his fifth straight game with at least three goals against. The Penguins' tallies came in a span of 11:58 during the second period, and the Canucks' comeback effort in the third fell short. Lankinen dropped to 7-16-4 with a 3.44 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 28 appearances. He hasn't been good enough and hasn't gotten enough support to regularly contend for wins. The Canucks host the Sharks on Tuesday.
