Dostal stopped 22 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

Dostal wasn't particularly strong in this contest, but the Ducks picked him up to earn a third straight win. This was Dostal's ninth win in his last 10 outings, though it was the first time in that span he's allowed more than three goals. He's now at a 22-13-2 record with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 39 appearances. Petr Mrazek (hip) is out for the season, so expect Dostal to get as much work as he can handle as the Ducks battle for a playoff spot. Next up is a Friday home game versus the Jets.

Forsberg stopped 19 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Forsberg allowed four of those goals in a span of 7:52 during the third period. The 33-year-old has given up 11 goals on 80 shots over his last three outings, going 0-2-1 in that span. For the season, he's at a 9-8-5 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Kings will likely turn to Darcy Kuemper for Thursday's home game versus the Oilers, but both goalies will need to be sharp as the Kings battle for a playoff spot down the stretch.

Hill stopped 15 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

Hill wasn't good, but the Golden Knights carried him with a five-goal outburst in the third period. The 29-year-old has won four of his last eight outings and is up to 5-3-3 with a 3.34 GAA and an .865 save percentage over 13 appearances this season. He's still a decent bet for wins, but Vegas' system is likely to lead to lower save percentages, and he's been leaking too many goals most of the time. The Golden Knights' road trip heads east for a visit to the Capitals on Friday.

Tolopilo stopped 25 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Tolopilo kept the game close, but Cole Perfetti had the deciding goal 1:37 into overtime. The 25-year-old Tolopilo is now 3-3-2 with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 10 appearances for the Canucks this season. He looks to have a chance to compete with Kevin Lankinen for the crease going forward, as Thatcher Demko (hip) is out for the season. The Canucks' next game is in Seattle on Saturday, and with no back-to-backs on the schedule until next weekend, it'll be interesting to see how head coach Adam Foote divides the goaltending duties in the short term.

Comrie stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Comrie gave up goals early in the first and second periods, but the Jets responded late in each frame. Cole Perfetti's tally 1:37 into overtime secured the win for Winnipeg, giving Comrie his fourth victory in a row. He's allowed just five total goals on 98 shots in that span. The 30-year-old has reached double-digit wins for just the second time in his career, sitting at 10-9-1 with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Assuming Connor Hellebuyck is ready to roll Friday in Anaheim, Comrie will likely slip back into the backup role for the remainder of the campaign.

Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Daccord is set to get the first half of a back-to-back, setting up Philipp Grubauer to start on the road in St. Louis on Thursday. Daccord has gone 6-3-0 over nine games since the start of January, though his 2.90 GAA and .902 save percentage don't inspire a lot of confidence against a tough, albeit depleted, Dallas roster.

Patera was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

Patera spent the Olympic break with the Canucks, but he is no longer needed on the NHL roster due to Kevin Lankinen being good to go after his time with Team Finland. Patera may get chances to play later in the season if Lankinen or Nikita Tolopilo sustains an injury.

Vasilevskiy will guard the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Vasilevskiy has gone 17 games without a regulation loss, going 16-0-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .923 save percentage in that span. He won eight in a row prior to the Olympic break, which is all that seems able to slow him down this season. He's got a favorable matchup in this one as he looks to pick up where he left off.

Luukkonen will start on the road versus the Devils on Wednesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Luukkonen was activated from injured reserve and will suit up Wednesday after his lower-body injury cost him the opportunity to represent Finland at the Olympics. The 26-year-old goalie went 4-2-1 over eight games in January, but he had a mediocre 3.21 GAA and .901 save percentage in those contests.

Murray was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Murray has a 2.86 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 29 outings with Milwaukee this campaign. He hasn't played in the NHL in 2025-26.
