Clang logged a 27-save shutout in AHL San Diego's 3-0 win over Tucson on Wednesday.

Clang has earned all three of his AHL shutouts this season. He's matched his career high with 32 appearances, posting a 16-8-6 record with a 2.75 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Swedish netminder has done a fine job, but it would take an injury to Lukas Dostal or Ville Husso for Clang to get an NHL call-up.

Copley posted a 23-save shutout in AHL Ontario's 7-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Copley wasn't all that busy in the lopsided contest. This was his first shutout in 32 appearances this season. He's up to 20-11-1 with a 2.64 GAA and an .899 save percentage, though he's 9-1-1 over his last 11 contests.

Postava posted an 18-save shutout in AHL Grand Rapids' 5-0 win over Rockford on Wednesday.

Postava earned his third shutout of the campaign. He's up to 14-6-0 with a 1.77 GAA and a .935 save percentage, showing that he can keep pace with prospect goalie Sebastian Cossa. Postava was recently with the Red Wings as a backup while Cam Talbot (undisclosed) was ailing, but Postava still has some developing to do before challenging for an NHL job.

Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Dostal went 6-3-1 with a 3.07 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 10 outings in March. The Ducks have alternated him with Ville Husso over the last six games and will continue that trend Wednesday, which may be a method to give Dostal rest before the Ducks' likely playoff run. The Sharks have scored 12 goals over their last four contests.

Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kuemper was pulled Saturday versus the Mammoth, and even with three days between games, he'll fill the backup role Wednesday against the Blues. Kuemper should see a majority of the starts down the stretch as the Kings compete for a playoff spot. The Kings have just one more back-to-back after this week's set.

Forsberg will start in goal at home versus the Blues on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Forsberg will take the first half of the back-to-back to afford Darcy Kuemper an extra day of rest. Forsberg was perfect in relief of Kuemper on Saturday versus the Mammoth, stopping all 11 shots he faced. The Blues have played well lately, winning four of their last six games with 18 goals scored in that span.

Binnington is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday.

Binnington has a 12-19-6 record, 3.33 GAA and .873 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. However, he's been far more effective recently, posting a 4-1-0 record, 1.62 GAA and .921 save percentage over his past five appearances. Los Angeles is 6-9-5 while averaging 2.70 goals per game across its past 20 matches.

Lankinen will patrol the road crease versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, Canucks Insider reports.

Lankinen has gone six games without securing a win, posting a record of 0-5-0 and a 3.86 GAA over that stretch. Lankinen is poised to have a career-worst season in save percentage (.877) and GAA (3.63). He has earned only eight victories across 43 appearances this season.

Askarov will tend the twine at home versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Askarov gave up four goals on 26 shots (.846 save percentage) against the Blues on Monday but came away with the win. He will remain in the crease for the first game of the Sharks' back-to-back. As a result, fantasy managers will probably see Alex Nedeljkovic feature in Thursday's home game against the Maple Leafs.

Skinner stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Dylan Larkin was the lone scorer for Detroit in the contest, beating Skinner with a wrister on the power play in the second period. Skinner has alternated wins and losses over his last four starts, going 2-2-0 with a 2.99 GAA and an .881 save percentage in that stretch. Even though his record isn't impressive, this is a step in the right direction.
