  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Takes overtime loss

    Ullmark stopped 32 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Ullmark wasn't able to contain a strong offense, squandering three separate leads before Evan Bouchard's goal in overtime decided the contest. The 32-year-old Ullmark hadn't allowed more than two goals in any of his previous four outings since he returned from a personal absence. He's now 17-8-7 with a 2.86 GAA and an .884 save percentage on the season. The remainder of the Senators' road trip is far less intimidating, and it continues Thursday in Calgary.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Does enough for win

    Ingram stopped 17 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.

    The Oilers never led in regulation, but Ingram kept it from getting too lopsided. Evan Bouchard's game-winner on the power play in overtime gave Ingram his second win in four outings since the Olympic break, a span in which he's allowed 11 goals on 80 shots. He's now 8-6-1 with a 2.83 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 17 appearances. Ingram's playing time is picking up, but he'll need to look significantly steadier between the pipes to pull away from Tristan Jarry for the rest of the season. The Oilers have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Hurricanes on Friday.

  • Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Second straight win

    Markstrom made 20 saves in a 5-1 win over the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Markstrom had to be sharp right out of the gate when his team started with a couple of ugly shifts. He's put up back-to-back wins with one goal allowed in each. The 36-year-old Swede is 17-14-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .888 save percentage in 33 appearances this season. Jake Allen's ratios are significantly better (2.61 GAA, .907 save percentage), but he's 12-15-1 in 29 outings. The Devils need wins, and Markstrom has a slight advantage.

  • Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Solid in loss

    Schmid made 25 saves in a 3-2 loss to Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Schmid has scuffled a bit in his last six games. He's 1-4-1 since Jan. 22, and he's allowed 18 goals in that span. Platoon-mate Adin Hill is 3-3-1 with 27 goals allowed in his seven latest starts. The Vegas net belongs to these two, with Carter Hart (lower body) out week-to-week since Jan. 8.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Knight slayer

    Lyon made 27 saves in a 3-2 win over Vegas on Tuesday.

    The Sabres staked him to a 3-0 lead before he wobbled slightly in the second. On the first goal, Lyon was headed left for a save when Ivan Barbashev grabbed a rebound and scored on a wraparound at the opposite post. The second came 1:37 later when Pavel Dorofeyev scored five-hole on a breakaway. Lyon has won both games he has played since the break; he allowed four goals total. He's 16-8-3 with a 2.66 GAA, .915 save percentage and two shutouts in 27 starts this season. Best of all, he has helped propel the Sabres to within two points of first in the Atlantic Division.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Better in black and gold

    Skinner made 26 saves in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Tuesday.

    Skinner was strong, aside from the two goals he allowed in a 50-second span in the first period. Skinner went into the break with a 4-0-1 record, but he's 0-1-1 in two games since the return. Skinner has been a better netminder in Pittsburgh's system than he was in Edmonton's run-and-gun.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: First star of game

    Swayman made 34 saves in a 2-1 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.

    Swayman gave up a goal on the first shot he saw and then stopped the next 33 to earn the game's first star and the win. He was especially busy in the second and third when he stopped all 28 shots he saw. Swayman is 23-13-3 with a 2.85 GAA and .905 save percentage this season. He is 1-1-0 with three goals allowed in two games since the break and 8-2-1 in 11 games starting Dec. 31, 2025.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to start Tuesday

    Wedgewood will start in goal on the road versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Wedgewood will make his second start in five games since the Olympic break. He won his last outing with a 28-save effort in a 4-2 win over the Mammoth last Wednesday. The Ducks have scored 11 goals over three games since the schedule resumed.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Tending twine in Columbus

    Annunen will guard the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

    Annunen is set for the second half of a back-to-back after Juuse Saros tended the twine in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings. Annunen's last start was a win over the Blackhawks last Thursday, in which he stopped 21 of 23 shots. The Blue Jackets are also playing for the second straight day after Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Patrolling crease Tuesday

    Greaves will be in goal at home versus the Predators on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

    Greaves will look to bounce back from a disappointing last outing in which he gave up four goals on 26 shots (.846 save percentage) in a loss to the Islanders on Saturday. The 24-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Elvis Merzlikins, a trend that will likely continue down the stretch.
