  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: First off Saturday

    Reimer was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he will protect the home net against Carolina on Saturday.

    Reimer stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Nashville, with the fifth goal being an empty-netter. He has a 1-1-1 record while surrendering nine goals on 82 shots through three outings with Ottawa this season. Carolina is tied for fourth in the league with 3.37 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Tough shootout loss to Bolts

    Soderblom turned aside 30 shots in regulation and overtime and two of five shootout attempts in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Lightning.

    Nikita Kucherov was the only player to get a puck past Soderblom before the shootout. However, the 26-year-old Soderblom struggled with the extra point on the line, as Kucherov, Gage Goncalves and Dominic James all scored in the shootout. It was still the first time Soderblom had allowed fewer than two goals in a start since Nov. 9 against Detroit. He sports a 5-8-2 record in 16 outings this season with a 3.75 GAA and an .874 save percentage.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Stays hot with shootout win

    Vasilevskiy stopped 17 shots in regulation and overtime and three of five shootout attempts in Friday's 2-1 win over Chicago.

    Ryan Greene beat the perennial Vezina contender from in close late in the first period, but Vasilevskiy slammed the door shut the rest of the way until the shootout. Vasilevskiy has given up two goals or fewer in seven straight starts and hasn't taken a regulation loss since Dec. 18, going 11-0-1 over his last 12 outings with a stellar 1.87 GAA and .919 save percentage.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Set to start Saturday

    Hellebuyck is expected to patrol the home crease against Detroit on Saturday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

    Despite allowing only six goals on 80 shots, Hellebuyck has gone 0-1-2 in his last three outings. He has a 12-13-6 record this campaign with a 2.65 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 31 appearances. Detroit is tied for 17th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Solid effort in win

    Oettinger turned aside 20 of 22 shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

    Despite allowing consecutive goals between the first and second periods, Oettinger stood strong and didn't allow a goal in the back half of the contest. With Friday's win, he is up to a 19-10-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 33 outings this season. Following a tough start to the calendar year with a 1-4-1 record across six appearances, the 27-year-old netminder has bounced back well with back-to-back victories. Oettinger holds a bright outlook in nearly all fantasy formats as an essential cog in the well-oiled machine that is Dallas' defense, which ranks third-best with 2.71 goals against per game. His next chance to extend his win streak is in another tilt with St. Louis on Tuesday.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Struggles continue in loss

    Binnington stopped 16 of 19 shots on net in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

    With the game tied at 2-2 heading into the final minute of regulation, Binnington allowed the go-ahead goal to Dallas' Jason Robertson en route to the loss. Binnington now has an 8-14-6 record, a 3.57 GAA and an .868 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. After a win to kick off the calendar year, the 32-year-old netminder has struggled with a 4.54 GAA and an .830 save percentage during a four-game losing streak. Even if his numbers level out down the stretch, it is difficult to trust Binnington in fantasy for the time being, especially with teammate Joel Hofer outplaying him in the St. Louis crease.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Comes up short versus Ducks

    Grubauer allowed three goals on 30 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Grubauer has started five of the Kraken's last seven games, but he's just 2-2-1 with 14 goals allowed in that span. It looks like head coach Lane Lambert is going with a hot hand approach -- Grubauer has received a second consecutive start after each of his last two wins. He's now at a 10-5-3 record with a 2.41 GAA and a .918 save percentage. Considering the recent workload pattern, Joey Daccord seems likely to get the nod Sunday at home versus the Devils.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Earns fifth straight win

    Dostal stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    This was Dostal's fifth straight win, a span in which he's allowed just nine goals on 138 shots. The 25-year-old netminder's turned things around after a terrible December following his return from an upper-body injury. For the season, he's up to 18-12-2 with a 3.01 GAA and an .894 save percentage. The Ducks' road trip continues Sunday in Calgary in the first half of a back-to-back -- they also face the Oilers on Monday. Dostal's worth checking on in fantasy, as some managers may have let him go during his slump.

  • Rangers' Spencer Martin: Struggles early in loss

    Martin allowed three goals on 31 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

    Martin gave up all three goals, including two on the power play, in the first 7:37 of the game. He's allowed 10 goals over his last three outings, all starts. The 30-year-old has taken a chunk out of the slumping Jonathan Quick's playing time, but neither goalie has been all that inspiring lately. Martin is 1-2-0 with 15 goals allowed over five appearances this season. The Rangers' next game is at home Monday versus the Bruins.

  • Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Keeps good times rolling

    Nedeljkovic allowed one goal on 29 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    This was Nedeljkovic's fifth straight win, and he's allowed two goals or less in four of those victories. Sam Carrick had the lone tally for the Rangers at 12:50 of the first period, but the Sharks had already racked up three goals. Nedeljkovic improved to 10-8-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 23 appearances. He's been playing well while Yaroslav Askarov struggles -- the two are in a timeshare for now, but momentum is in Nedeljkovic's favor. The Sharks are off until Tuesday, when they begin a road trip in Vancouver.
