Silovs will defend the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Golden Knights, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Silovs faced a season-high 35 shots on net in Thursday's narrow overtime loss to the Mammoth. He's unbeaten in regulation over his last three contests, which has raised his stats up to a 5-3-1 record, a 2.98 GAA, two shutouts and an .889 save percentage across nine appearances this season. He remains the clear No. 1 option between the pipes ahead of the struggling Sergei Murashov. Silovs will face off against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, who have posted 3.38 goals per game this season. Given the difficult matchup, Silovs is a boom-or-bust fantasy option for Tuesday's slate.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Oilers, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

Hellebuyck will get his first home start with New Jersey on Tuesday after picking up two road wins to begin his tenure with his new squad. Overall, the 33-year-old star has a 2-0-0 record, a 1.50 GAA and a .923 save percentage across 39 shots on net over two appearances this season. He'll look to carry his momentum into Tuesday's clash, which is slated to be a difficult outing against the Oilers, who rank second in the NHL with 4.20 goals per game this season. Hellebuyck remains a must-start Tuesday despite the tough matchup.

Garand will guard the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Garand was handed his fourth consecutive loss in Sunday's clash, when he yielded three goals to the Oilers. Overall, the 24-year-old backstop has a 4-6-1 record, a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 11 appearances this season. He's slated to appear in his 11th consecutive game, which gives him unmatched volume in fantasy for managers looking for a high-upside backup option. He'll look to bounce back Tuesday against the Blues, who currently rank 16th in the NHL with 3.14 goals per game this season.

Tarasov made 23 saves in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Seeing his first action since Oct. 20 after recovering from an undisclosed injury, Tarasov gave up a goal in each period but got powered to a victory over the team he played for in 2025-26 when the Red Wings struck three times in the third. The 27-year-old netminder has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 2-0-2 in five appearances with a 1.75 GAA and .927 save percentage, and if Tarasov can stay healthy and effective, he could push John Gibson (3.36 GAA, .860 save percentage in 10 outings) for the top job in the Detroit crease.

Fowler will guard the home goal in Tuesday's clash against the Jets, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Despite having his shakiest outing of the 2026-27 campaign Saturday, Fowler did enough to hold on for his seventh consecutive win. The 21-year-old netminder has been phenomenal otherwise, compiling a 7-1-0 record, a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage across eight appearances this season. As he's set to face the Jets, who currently rank 30th in the NHL with 2.27 goals per game this season, in Tuesday's clash, Fowler is a must-start in all fantasy formats given his recent hot streak.

Swayman turned aside 21 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Boston grabbed a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but Swayman did well to weather the storm in Vegas' comeback attempt and get the game to OT. He was then flawless in the shootout, although his post bailed him out after Mitch Marner beat him in the third round, and Swayman was rewarded with the win when David Pastrnak ended it. The 27-year-old netminder snapped a brief two-start losing streak with the performance, but through 12 outings on the season he's produced an 8-3-1 record with a sharp 2.30 GAA and .913 save percentage.

Knight stopped 24 of 28 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. Colorado's fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Knight couldn't preserve Chicago's early two-goal advantage, surrendering four unanswered goals before the Avalanche sealed the victory with an empty-netter. Chicago's recent struggles have made wins increasingly difficult to secure, limiting Knight's fantasy reliability despite his established starting role. He's won just one of his last six appearances, posting a 3.04 GAA and an .898 save percentage over that stretch.

Thompson will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Stars, per Sammi Silber of The District Standard.

Thompson has alternated results across his last five appearances, with his last appearances being a 5-1 loss to the Wild on Sunday. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop has a 5-4-0 record, a 2.93 GAA and an .898 save percentage across nine appearances. While he hasn't lived up to where he was being selected in fantasy drafts ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, he remains a low-end No. 1 goalie option given his command over the opportunities for Washington. While the Stars offense has underperformed this season with just 2.56 goals per game, Thompson remains a boom or bust fantasy option for Tuesday given his recent results.

Blackwood stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Blackwood recovered after a slow start and lifted the Avs to a third consecutive win. Blackwood has earned the W in his last four appearances, allowing three or fewer goals each time while posting a 2.26 GAA and .915 save percentage over that stretch. The Avalanche's offensive firepower provides a favorable environment for accumulating wins, even when Blackwood's save totals remain relatively modest. He has made more than 25 saves in just two of his last six appearances.

Vladar will defend the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Vladar earned his third win across his last four tries in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Mammoth. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop is up to a 3-3-2 record, a 3.23 GAA and an .885 save percentage across eight appearances this season. He's trending in the right direction after a slow start to the season, and he's slated to make his first set of back-to-back starts in Tuesday's clash. If he can impress in a tough outing against Minnesota, Vladar could begin to work his way back towards being the true No. 1 option over Joseph Woll.
