Hellebuyck stopped 21 of 23 shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Hellebuyck dialed in down the stretch to allow the Jets to score the game-tying tally with just under five minutes remaining in regulation before Josh Morrissey sent him home with the win. Overall, Hellebuyck now has a 16-16-9 record, a 2.73 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. Since returning from the Olympics, the 32-year-old netminder has been unbeaten in regulation and has won each of his last three starts. Hellebuyck has a bright fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season while the Jets make a push for a playoff spot.

Lankinen turned aside 32 of 35 shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Lankinen, who hasn't won a game since Jan. 21, kept the Canucks' net tidy until there were 12 seconds remaining in the second period, but he ultimately fell to Josh Morrissey's game-winning tally in overtime. With the OT loss, Lankinen now holds a 7-20-5 record, a 3.73 GAA, and an .875 save percentage across 35 outings this season. The 30-year-old goalie will have a difficult task in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season while backstopping a rebuilding Canucks roster. His next chance to bounce back is Monday against Ottawa.

Askarov stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Askarov put in a good effort, but Bo Horvat's goal 4:20 into overtime gave the Sharks a loss. Askarov has allowed 14 goals over four games since the Olympic break, going 2-1-1 in those contests. For the season, the 23-year-old netminder is at a 19-16-3 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 39 starts. A busy part of the schedule has seen the Sharks switch to alternating goalies, which may be best for Askarov down the stretch as he has struggled during stretches with a heavier workload. The Sharks begin a road trip in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Sorokin stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

Sorokin allowed a goal to Macklin Celebrini early in the second period, but that was it. This was Sorokin's third win in four outings since the Olympic break, and it was his first really dominant performance in that stretch. He's up to 23-14-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 39 starts this season. The Islanders have one more stop on this road trip, and that's Tuesday in St. Louis for a favorable matchup versus the Blues.

Daccord stopped 29 of 36 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Daccord had allowed just six goals over his first three games since the Olympic break. The Senators were able to get to him in this contest, scoring multiple times in each period. Daccord dropped to 18-14-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 37 appearances. The Kraken's goaltending usage has been unpredictable this season, and Daccord will need to avoid outings like this to have a chance to reclaim the No. 1 job outright. The Kraken's next game is at home versus the Predators on Tuesday.

Ullmark stopped 17 of 21 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Ullmark wasn't at his best, but the Senators had built up a sizable lead before he allowed two goals over the last 10 minutes. The 32-year-old netminder has earned three wins in his last five outings, giving up 14 goals in that span. He's up to 19-8-7 with a 2.84 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 35 appearances. Ullmark can pile up wins with a strong offense supporting him, but he can be a danger on the ratio stats. The Senators wrap up their current road trip with a soft matchup in Vancouver on Monday.

Bussi stopped 20 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

Bussi's been poor since the Olympic break, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots over his last three outings. He's still sharing the crease with Frederik Andersen, but the Hurricanes may opt to lean more on their veteran netminder if Bussi can't get his performance back on track. This loss ended his nine-game winning streak. Bussi is 25-4-1 with a 2.38 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 30 starts this season. The Hurricanes are next in action at home Tuesday versus the Penguins, who will be without both Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension).

Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Wolf still had his hands full with a tired Hurricanes team, allowing three of the four goals in the third period. The 24-year-old netminder had lost his last two outings, giving up five goals on 53 shots in those contests. He's now up to 18-23-3 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 45 appearances. Wolf should get a decent share of starts down the stretch, but the Flames' roster was depleted a bit at the trade deadline, so he'll be a risky option. Up next, the Flames begin a five-game road trip with a back-to-back, visiting the Capitals on Monday and the Rangers on Tuesday, which should be a pair of games for Wolf and Devin Cooley to split.

Young posted a 23-save shutout in AHL Abbotsford's 4-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

This was Young's first shutout in 21 career AHL appearances. He's taken a step back this season with a 2-8-0 record, a 3.83 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 10 outings, though he hasn't worked as the starter. The 21-year-old won't be a major factor in the NHL for years, especially if his numbers don't improve.

Tomkins posted a 30-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 2-0 win over Tucson on Saturday.

Tomkins is up to four shutouts in 32 games this season, accounting for a quarter of his wins. He's added a 16-9-6 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Those are fine numbers overall, but it hasn't been enough for the 31-year-old to get a look with the Oilers yet.
