  • 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.

    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.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Concedes five goals in loss

    Lankinen stopped 19 of 24 shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

    Lankinen snapped a six-game winless stretch Wednesday versus the Capitals, but he wasn't able to get another victory in his next outing. The Devils jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the second period and nursed the advantage to the end. Lankinen is down to 7-15-4 with a 3.45 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 27 appearances this season. The Canucks host the Penguins on Sunday.

  • Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Allows four goals in win

    Markstrom stopped 21 of 25 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Canucks.

    Markstrom came away with his fourth win in his last five outings. His last two victories have been against two of his former teams, though the Canucks did a bit of damage with a comeback effort that fell short Friday. Markstrom improved to 14-11-1 with a 3.30 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 27 appearances. The Devils wrap up this road trip with a matinee game in Seattle on Sunday.

  • Devon Levi G | BUF

    Sabres' Devon Levi: Earns third shutout

    Levi logged a 23-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 3-0 win over Utica on Friday.

    Levi's last two wins have come via shutout, and he has three shutouts this season. He's up to a 14-7-6 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 27 outings. The Sabres still have three goalies at the NHL level, so Levi's path to the big club is blocked this season.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Protecting net in Calgary

    Thompson will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Friday, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.

    Thompson will get the start in his hometown on the front end of a back-to-back. He's looking to end a three-game losing streak, a span in which he's allowed 10 goals on 80 shots. The Flames have won three of their last six games, scoring 14 goals in that span.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Tending twine Friday

    Oettinger will protect the home goal versus the Blues on Friday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Oettinger will get the second half of a back-to-back after Casey DeSmith came up short in a 1-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. The 27-year-old Oettinger is 2-4-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .868 save percentage over seven games in January. The Blues have just 10 goals scored over their last six contests, going 2-4-0 in that span.

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Guarding goal in Toronto

    Hill is set to start on the road versus the Maple Leafs on Friday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Hill has allowed seven goals on 45 shots while going 1-1-0 in two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The Maple Leafs have lost four of their last five games (1-2-2), scoring 14 goals in that span. Hill was between the pipes for Vegas' 6-5 overtime win over Toronto on Jan. 15.
