Spencer Knight G | CHI
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Posts solid outing in loss
Knight turned aside 32 of 34 shots on net in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Despite ending up in the loss column, Knight put together a strong performance that kept the Blackhawks in Saturday's game until Colorado's Cale Makar deposited an empty-net goal. Overall, the 24-year-old Knight now has a 16-18-7 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 41 outings this season. While the Blackhawks struggle to produce consistent offense to help Knight find the win column, his save percentage and GAA numbers make him a goaltender worth rostering in nearly all fantasy formats. He'll likely get a game of rest Sunday against Utah during the second half of Chicago's back-to-back before returning to action Tuesday against the Jets.

Jordan Binnington G | STL
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Losing streak at eight games
Binnington turned aside 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils, with New Jersey's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
After stellar showing at the Olympics for Team Canada en route to a silver medal, Binnington returned to the St. Louis crease and immediately resumed his NHL losing streak, which now stands at eight games. During that tailspin, the veteran netminder has labored under a 4.19 GAA and .844 save percentage. With his strong international performance serving as a reminder of what a motivated Binnington can do, a trade to a playoff contender might be the only lifeline he has available to salvage his 2025-26 season.

Jacob Markstrom G | NJ
Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Sharp in St. Louis
Markstrom stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Markstrom spoiled it himself by getting greedy -- he tried to go for the open St. Louis net with less than 90 seconds left, but his shot didn't get past Pavel Buchnevich, who eventually scored after Pius Suter retrieved the loose puck. Markstrom has given up three goals or fewer in eight of his last 10 starts, going 6-4-0 over that stretch with a 2.40 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Arturs Silovs G | PIT
Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Tending twine Sunday
Silovs will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Sunday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers. The 24-year-old Silovs has won his last two outings while allowing only three goals on 57 shots. He has a 12-7-8 record this season with a 2.86 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 27 appearances. Vegas is tied for eighth in the league with 3.36 goals per game this campaign.

Yaroslav Askarov G | SJ
Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Hangs on for win Saturday
Askarov made 20 saves in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
It wasn't pretty, but Askarov did just enough to secure his 18th win of the season, and first since Jan. 27, after the Sharks had taken a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 23-year-old netminder needs all the offensive support he can get right now -- Askarov has allowed at least three goals in 20 of 21 outings since the beginning of December, going 9-10-1 with a rough 4.02 GAA and .868 save percentage.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Dragged down by Sharks
Ingram turned aside 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to San Jose.
The 28-year-old netminder saw three pucks get past him in the first period alone, and while the Oilers fought their way back to tie it up early in the third, Ingram couldn't come up with a big stop when he needed one to keep the momentum going. It's his third loss in his last four starts, and over seven outings since Jan. 24, Ingram has stumbled to a 3.69 GAA and .850 save percentage.

Dan Vladar G | PHI
Flyers' Dan Vladar: Sharp in Saturday's win
Vladar made 26 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
He was the busier of the two netminders as the Flyers got out-shot 27-17 on the afternoon, but Vladar had a shutout going until Charlie McAvoy re-directed a puck past him midway through the third period. Vladar has allowed three goals or fewer in five straight starts, going 2-1-2 over that span with a stellar 2.00 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Jeremy Swayman G | BOS
Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tough loss Saturday
Swayman stopped 14 of 16 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The game was scoreless through two periods, but a bad bounce off the end boards handed Travis Konecny a tally early in the third, and the Bruins were never able to get level. It was just Swayman's second regulation loss in his last nine starts dating back to Jan. 10, and over that stretch he's gone 6-2-1 with a 2.83 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Falls in OT on Saturday
Greaves turned away 22 of 26 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Greaves didn't allow a goal until the 31-minute mark, and he would ultimately allow three tallies before the second period concluded. With the loss, he now has an 18-12-7 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 38 outings this season. The loss was his first over his last eight starts, where he has a 6-0-1 record, a 2.34 GAA and a .914 save percentage. With the Blue Jackets surging up the Metropolitan Division standings, they'll likely deploy Greaves consistently down the stretch, giving him solid fantasy value in most formats for the remainder of the season. His next chance to bounce back is Monday against the Rangers.

Ilya Sorokin G | NYI
Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Hangs on for OT win
Sorokin stopped 27 of 30 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Sorokin extended his win streak to four Saturday with a strong stretch of play to blank the Blue Jackets in the third period and overtime. With the victory, he now holds a 22-13-2 record, a 2.47 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. The 30-year-old netminder has been one of the league's elite workhorse options between the pipes, currently ranking second in save percentage among goalies with 30 or more appearances. With the Islanders at the heart of the playoff conversation in the Metropolitan Division, they will likely continue to rely on Sorokin often in hopes of booking a trip to the postseason. He is one of the few must-roster goalies in all fantasy formats moving forward.
