  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Hangs on for shootout win

    Andersen stopped 24 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

    The veteran netminder seemed to be cruising toward a win when the Hurricanes grabbed a 4-2 lead midway through the third period. However, Andersen coughed up two late goals, which forced the game to overtime. Still, he got his third win in four starts since the Olympic break despite a 2.73 GAA and an .875 save percentage over that stretch. He has been working in a timeshare with Brandon Bussi.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Slated starter Wednesday

    Thompson is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

    Thompson has a 22-18-4 record, 2.42 GAA and .912 save percentage in 44 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 7-3 victory over Calgary in his last start Monday. Thompson turned aside 23 of 24 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over the Flyers on Feb. 25, so he'll be looking for a similar result Wednesday.

    Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Set to face Ottawa

    Fowler is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Wednesday.

    Montreal called up Fowler from AHL Laval on Wednesday. He has a 4-4-2 record, 2.62 GAA and .902 save percentage in 10 appearances with the Canadiens this season. However, his last outing with Montreal was Jan. 15, and his last NHL win came against Calgary on Jan. 7. Ottawa is 9-1-2 while averaging 3.92 goals per game across its past 12 matches, so this figures to be a challenging assignment for Fowler.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Busy in shootout loss Tuesday

    Skinner turned aside 39 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Carolina.

    The Penguins needed two late goals in the third period just to force overtime, as they were outshot 43-28 on the night, but their luck ran out in the shootout. Skinner is winless over his last five starts, going 0-1-4 with a 3.08 GAA and an .881 save percentage. He remains stuck on 19 wins for the season.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Sharp in Tuesday's OT win

    Swayman stopped 15 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

    He lost his shutout bid with six minutes left in the third period on a Drew Doughty blast from the blue line. Swayman has won three straight starts and has only one regulation loss in his last eight outings, going 6-1-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .920 save percentage.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Tough OT loss in Boston

    Kuemper made 21 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.

    The veteran netminder was locked in a 0-0 goaltending duel with Jeremy Swayman until the third period. However, Kuemper wound up with the short end of the stick when Charlie McAvoy deked past him and tucked a backhand into the net 39 seconds into overtime. Kuemper has just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 3.84 GAA and .857 save percentage since the beginning of February.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Expected to start Wednesday

    Ullmark is slated to start at home against Montreal on Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

    Ullmark has a 19-8-7 record, 2.84 GAA and .884 save percentage in 35 outings in 2025-26. He's won his past two starts while stopping 36 of 41 shots (.878 save percentage). He's had two other outings against Montreal this campaign, posting a 1-0-1 record, 2.97 GAA and .878 save percentage in those matches.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to face Washington

    Ersson is expected to start at home against Washington on Wednesday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

    Ersson is making his first start since Feb. 26, but he did stop the three shots he faced in a relief appearance Monday. The 26-year-old has a 9-10-5 record, 3.40 GAA and .859 save percentage in 26 outings in 2025-26. Washington is coming off a 7-3 victory over Calgary on Monday, which ended the Capitals' three-game losing streak and brought the team's record up to 32-26-7.

  • Jacob Fowler G | MON

    Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Up from minors

    Fowler was recalled from AHL Laval on Wednesday.

    Fowler has a 2.33 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 27 outings with Laval in 2025-26. He's also posted a 4-4-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .902 save percentage across 10 outings with the Canadiens this season. The Canadiens will be in the second half of a back-to-back when they play in Ottawa on Wednesday, so perhaps Fowler was summoned to play in that match.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Posts shutout Tuesday

    Quick made 21 saves in Tuesday's 4-0 shutout win over the Flames.

    Quick benefited from Alexis Lafreniere's hat trick, but also held his own in net and made three of his 21 saves on the Rangers' penalty kill. With Tuesday's victory, Quick now holds a 5-15-2 record, a 3.05 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 22 outings this season. The shutout was his second of the campaign, and the victory ended his four-game losing skid. While his record is partially a product of the Rangers' struggles as a team, the 40-year-old netminder could offer decent value as a spot starter for the remainder of 2025-26.
