Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Notches win in overtime
Jarry stopped 13 of 15 shots in relief of Connor Ingram in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.
Jarry came into the game with the Oilers trailing 3-2, and there was plenty more offense to be had on both sides. While Jarry's performance wasn't all that great, he kept things close and benefited from Connor McDavid's winning tally 47 seconds into the extra session. Jarry is 2-2-1 with 14 goals allowed on 113 shots since he returned from a lower-body injury, so he hasn't exactly been providing stability in the crease. The Oilers host the Ducks on Monday, and it's unclear which of the team's three goalies will get the nod for that one.

Oilers' Connor Ingram: Pulled from Saturday's start
Ingram stopped nine of 12 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.
Ingram got the hook during the second period after the Capitals took their first lead on an Anthony Beauvillier goal at 14:29. The 28-year-old Ingram didn't get the loss because the Oilers bounced back to win. He hasn't had many missteps between the pipes while jumping over Calvin Pickard for the No. 2 role. Ingram is at a 5-3-1 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .909 save percentage, but the Oilers may not want to carry three goalies for the rest of the campaign. Ingram would need waivers to get to AHL Bakersfield, as would Pickard, so neither goalie can afford to have too many bad outings in a row while competing for starts behind Tristan Jarry, who collected the win in relief Saturday. The Oilers host the Ducks on Monday.

Filip Gustavsson G | MIN
Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Loses in overtime
Gustavsson stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Gustavsson's three-game winning streak ended due to the return of Brad Marchand, who scored his second goal of the game at 3:00 of overtime. While the results have mostly gone Gustavsson's way lately, he's allowed at least three goals in each of his last six starts. The 27-year-old netminder is at a 17-9-6 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 33 appearances this season. Jesper Wallstedt has also struggled recently, making it unclear who will get the nod for Tuesday's home game versus the Blackhawks.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Fends off Wild in overtime
Bobrovsky stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Bobrovsky got back in the win column after allowing 12 goals on 63 shots over his previous two losses. The 37-year-old still wasn't all that sharp, but the return of Brad Marchand gave the Panthers a big boost on offense. For the season, Bobrovsky is up to 20-14-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 35 starts, his worst numbers in his seven seasons with the Panthers. He'll likely rest for Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks -- look for Daniil Tarasov to make that road start.

Joel Hofer G | STL
Blues' Joel Hofer: Rough showing versus Kings
Hofer allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.
Hofer took his third loss in five outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 135 shots. The 25-year-old netminder has been better than Jordan Binnington this season, but Hofer has struggled to string wins together, leaving this crease in a timeshare. Hofer dropped to 11-10-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Jonas Johansson G | TB
Lightning's Jonas Johansson: First loss in four starts
Johansson made 23 saves on 29 shots in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Columbus. The Blue Jackets added two empty-netters in the third period.
Columbus scored four goals in the first period and had two more in the second. It was Johansson's first loss in four games, but that's all he'd played since the holiday break in December. He is 10-7-1 with a 2.91 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 19 appearances this season.

Darcy Kuemper G | LA
Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Gives up four goals
Kuemper stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blues.
Kuemper gave up three goals in a span of 5:56 during the second period, and he also let a one-goal lead slip away when Jordan Kyrou tallied with 2:10 left in the third. However, the Kings were better in the shootout, ending Kuemper's six-start winless run. The 35-year-old hasn't been very good lately, allowing four or more goals in five of his last 10 outings. He's at a 13-9-9 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 33 starts this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with stops in Columbus on Monday and Detroit on Tuesday.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Wins fourth straight start
Greaves made 25 saves in an 8-5 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
The game was orchestral chaos most of the night. Greaves bent early in the second, allowing two goals in 1:29 that tied things 4-4. However, he regained his composure and stood tall, even when the Bolts pulled their goalie with more than five minutes remaining in the game. Greaves has won his last four starts, but we're watching the Columbus net. Head coach Rick Bowness is giving both Greaves and Elvis Merzlikins equal opportunity to earn time in net. Greaves is doing his part to push Elvis off the throne entirely, but the next little while could be messy for starts for both men.

Carter George G | LA
Kings' Carter George: Shuts out North Bay
George posted a 16-save shutout in OHL Sault Ste. Marie's 3-0 win over North Bay on Saturday.
George is having a remarkable week with a shutout and a goalie goal over his last two contests. He's won five straight outings. Through 27 appearances between Sault Ste. Marie and Owen Sound this season, he is 15-9-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .907 save percentage, and he's earned three shutouts.

Juuse Saros G | NSH
Predators' Juuse Saros: Trampled by Mammoth
Saros stopped 26 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Utah, with the Mammoth's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 30-year-old netminder saw an early 1-0 lead evaporate quickly to begin the second period, and the Predators could never get level after falling behind. Saros has given up at least three goals in five straight starts, and on the season, he's 20-17-3 through 40 outings with a 3.04 GAA and an .895 save percentage.
