Joonas Korpisalo G | BOS
Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Hangs on for win No. 10
Korpisalo stopped 30 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Korpisalo had to withstand a furious comeback attempt by Vegas to put the win in the books. Korpisalo's won all four of his starts in January, improving his record on the season to 10-8-0, and for the month he's posted a dazzling 1.42 GAA and .948 save percentage.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Stumbles in Boston
Schmid made 25 saves in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.
Boston built a 4-0 lead through two periods, including two power-play tallies, and while Schmid was able to shut the door in the third, Vegas' comeback attempt fell just short. It was Schmid's first regulation loss in January, and on the month he's gone 4-1-1 in six outings with a 2.57 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Anthony Stolarz G | TOR
Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: In goal Friday
Stolarz (upper body) will get the starting nod at home against Vegas on Friday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.
Stolarz will be in the crease for the first time since Nov. 11 versus the Bruins. In his 13 outings this year, the 32-year-old backstop is sporting a 6-5-1 record and 3.51 GAA. Now that Stolarz is back to 100 percent, he will likely split the workload with Joseph Woll, though Stolarz could push for the starting gig outright with some strong performances.

Juuse Saros G | NSH
Predators' Juuse Saros: Earns win vs. Ottawa
Saros stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.
Saros bounced back from his ugly outing against the Sabres on Tuesday, when he allowed four goals on 19 shots. Saros has been reliable of late in terms of wins, as he's gone 3-1-0 over his last four outings, but a deeper look into his numbers suggest he hasn't been a solid option between the pipes in most formats. He's allowed at least three goals in four outings in a row and has posted a 3.31 GAA, as well as an .891 save percentage, in nine appearances since the beginning of January.

James Reimer G | OTT
Senators' James Reimer: Beaten four times
Reimer stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 27 seconds left in the game.
Reimer was coming off his first win of the season, but he wasn't able to repeat that outcome. The 37-year-old is likely to remain as the Senators' No. 1 goaltender while Linus Ullmark (personal) remains away from the team, and Leevi Merilainen was sent to AHL Belleville earlier this week. Reimer is 1-1-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .889 save percentage in three appearances this season since signing with the Senators on Jan. 12.

Cam Talbot G | DET
Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Falls to Wild in overtime
Talbot allowed four goals on 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
Three separate one-goal leads didn't last, and Talbot ended up taking his third straight loss. He's 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed on 110 shots in that span, as the Red Wings' defense has been a little leaky when he's between the pipes lately. The 38-year-old goalie is now 11-7-4 with a 3.00 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 24 appearances. Look for John Gibson to get the nod Saturday in Winnipeg, as he's handled a majority of the workload recently while Talbot is firmly in the backup role.

Sam Montembeault G | MON
Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Allows three goals in loss
Montembault made 13 saves in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
Buffalo scored the first three goals to build a 3-0 lead by the 2:25 mark of the second period. Montembault has started five of Montreal's last 10 games, going 3-1-1 in that span. He has struggled this season to show that his 31-24-7 record, 2.82 GAA and .902 save percentage from last year were replicable. The talent is there -- he's delivered three straight seasons with a save percentage of .901 or above. However, Montembeault has delivered a .871 save percentage in 21 appearances (19 starts) in 2025-26.

Filip Gustavsson G | MIN
Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Earns third straight win
Gustavsson stopped 30 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Gustavsson picked up his third straight win, though he's allowed 10 goals on 87 shots in that span. The Wild didn't lead in regulation, but they got the win on a Kirill Kaprizov tally in overtime. Gustavsson improved to 17-9-5 with a 2.58 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 32 appearances. The Wild's next game is at home Saturday versus the Panthers, who have been struggling on offense lately, scoring two goals or fewer in eight of their last 11 games.

Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Torched by former team
Jarry allowed six goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.
Jarry started in consecutive games for the first time since his lower-body injury. The results weren't good, as his former teammates had stretches of three goals in 37 seconds in the first period and two goals in 1:58 in the second. This was just his second regulation loss as an Oiler, but it was his worst game of the season. Between Edmonton and Pittsburgh, Jarry has a 13-5-2 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 21 outings. It wouldn't be surprising to see Connor Ingram get the nod Saturday versus the Capitals, but the Oilers' crease remains crowded with three goalies on the roster.

Arturs Silovs G | PIT
Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Cruises to win
Silovs stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
Silovs got all the help he needed in the first three minutes of the game, as the Penguins scored three times in a span of 37 seconds. The 24-year-old netminder had suffered some misfortune during a three-game losing streak (0-2-1) in which he allowed just six goals on 81 shots. Silovs is now up to 9-6-8 with a 3.00 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 23 appearances. Stuart Skinner will likely be back between the pipes for Sunday's road-trip finale in Vancouver.
