  • Colten Ellis G | BUF

    Sabres' Colten Ellis: In doubt Saturday

    Ellis is questionable to suit up against the Maple Leafs on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Ellis has not appeared in a game for the Sabres since Feb. 3 against the Lightning, so it's possible his undisclosed injury won't impact his availability for the Sabres. In his 13 outings, the 25-year-old backstop is sporting a 7-4-1 record, 3.11 GAA and .896 save percentage.

  • Sharks' Laurent Brossoit: Summoned from AHL

    Brossoit was recalled from AHL San Jose on Friday.

    The move was made necessary when Yaroslav Askarov tweaked something Thursday, forcing the Sharks to suit up emergency backup goaltender Kyle Chauvette, who was signed to an amateur tryout prior to Thursday's tilt in Boston. Brossoit is 11-2-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .915 save percentage for AHL San Jose this season. He is expected to back up Alex Nedeljkovic on Saturday in Montreal.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Starter for Saturday

    Dobes will defend the home cage versus San Jose on Saturday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

    Dobes has won his last two starts, giving up four goals on 57 shots in victories over Toronto and Los Angeles. The netminder is 21-6-4 with a 2.97 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 31 contests this season. The Sharks are generating 3.08 goals per game this season, 18th in the NHL.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Looks good against former club

    Bobrovsky turned aside 30 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

    The visitors grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second period when Adam Fantilli slipped the puck through Bobrovsky's five-hole on a two-on-one break, but otherwise the veteran netminder was outstanding, and he was rewarded for his efforts when Sam Reinhart scored the OT winner. Bobrovsky appears to be finding a late-season surge despite the fact that the Panthers are all but out of the playoff picture -- he's given up exactly one goal in three of five starts since the Olympic break, going 3-2-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .925 save percentage during that span.

  • Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Can't steal win in south Florida

    Merzlikins stopped 19 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

    The Blue Jackets grabbed a 1-0 lead past the midway point of the second period on an Adam Fantilli tally, but Merzlikins couldn't make it stick as Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart scored on power plays in the third period and OT. Merzlikins has turned things around over the last couple months while working behind a stingier Columbus blue line, going 7-2-2 in his last 12 outings with a 2.54 GAA and .898 save percentage.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Tough loss Thursday

    Luukkonen made 20 saves in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Buffalo grabbed an early lead on a first-period goal by Sam Carrick, but that was all the offensive support Luukkonen would get on the night. It was the first regulation loss for the 27-year-old netminder since Jan. 19, and over five starts since the Olympic break Luukkonen has posted a solid 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage.

  • Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Sharp in Thursday's win

    Lindgren turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.

    Washington was outshot 30-22, but Lindgren was able to steal a road win by slamming the door shut after allowing a Sam Carrick goal early in the first period. It was the first time Lindgren had given up fewer than three goals in an outing since Dec. 3, and on the season the veteran netminder is 9-7-3 with a 3.29 GAA and .886 save percentage.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: BItten by Sharks on Thursday

    Swayman stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to San Jose.

    The Bruins' offense couldn't seem to solve Alex Nedeljkovic in the other crease, and Swayman found himself staring at a 4-0 deficit midway through the third period before his teammates finally got on the board. It was only Swayman's second regulation loss in his last nine outings, a stretch in which he's gone 6-2-1 with a 2.44 GAA and .914 save percentage.

  • Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Nabs win in Boston

    Nedeljkovic made 39 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins,

    The Sharks were outshot 41-28 on the night, but Nedeljkovic stood on his head and took a shutout into the third period before the home side finally broke through with 11:30 left. The veteran netminder has just one regulation loss in his last 10 outings, going 7-1-1 over that stretch with a stellar 2.20 GAA and .924 save percentage.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Strong showing in win

    Oettinger turned aside 30 of 32 shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Oilers.

    Oettinger is up to a 27-10-5 record, a 2.64 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 42 appearances this season. Since Jan. 20, the 27-year-old netminder has posted an elite 10-0-1 record and 2.50 GAA. Over his last five appearances since the Olympic break, he's shored up his save numbers and has posted a .922 save percentage in that span. He profiles as an elite option between the pipes in fantasy for the remainder of the season.
