  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Beaten three times Saturday

    Lyon stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.

    Lyon had been in an impressive stretch of late, and this was his first defeat since Nov. 28, when he allowed five goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Devils. Lyon has a 1.77 GAA and a .945 save percentage in four outings in January, and while fantasy managers should continue to trust him, the upcoming stretch of road games against Florida and Tampa Bay is far from favorable for the 33-year-old netminder.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Extends winning run

    Dobes stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

    Dobes has started each of the Canadiens' last three games and has performed at a high level, posting a save percentage of at least .940 in two of those contests. In six starts since the beginning of January, Dobes has posted a 2.97 GAA with an .893 save percentage.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Gets little help in Saturday's loss

    Bobrovsky turned aside 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

    The veteran netminder blanked the visitors through the first 40 minutes, but after the Panthers' offense wasn't able to get much going through the first two frames, their defense collapsed as well in the third. Since a nine-goal disaster against the Hurricanes on Jan. 16, Bobrovsky has rallied somewhat, but he's still gone just 1-3-0 over his last four starts with a 2.75 GAA and .875 save percentage while working in a strict timeshare with Daniil Tarasov, who has a 3-1-0 record, 2.21 GAA and .905 save percentage over that same stretch.

  • Eric Comrie G | WPG

    Jets' Eric Comrie: Sharp in Saturday's win

    Comrie stopped 27 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

    Eetu Luostarinen redirected a shot past Comrie midway through the first period, but the veteran backup shut the door the rest of the way. Comrie has won three straight starts dating back to Jan. 9 as he plays sparingly behind Connor Hellebuyck. On the season, Comrie's 9-9-1 with a 3.07 GAA and .892 save percentage.

  • Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Dropped to AHL

    Kolosov was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Due to the absence of Samuel Ersson (lower body), Kolosov was Dan Vladar's backup in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings. If Ersson remains unavailable for Tuesday's home matchup against Washington, Kolosov could be an option to return to the NHL level.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Hangs on for win Saturday

    Skinner made 15 saves in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

    The Penguins seemed to have the game well in hand, holding a 3-0 lead late in the second period and going ahead 5-1 before two minutes had elapsed in the third, but a wild finish saw the Rangers come storming back. Skinner gave up two goals in the final 67 seconds but still came away with his fifth straight win. Over eight outings in January, he went 7-1-0 with a sharp 2.13 GAA and .910 save percentage.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Flops against Penguins

    Quick turned aside 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    Seven of the 11 goals on the afternoon were scored during a wild third period, but Quick wasn't to blame for the final result, as the Rangers got out-played in all three frames. The 40-year-old netminder managed only one win in January despite holding down the No. 1 job between the pipes, going 1-7-1 in nine outings with a brutal 4.63 GAA and .827 save percentage, but he should be able to return to a more sheltered role once Igor Shesterkin (lower body) is back.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Falls to LA in OT

    Vladar stopped 18 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.

    Neither goalie faced much rubber in the afternoon contest, but Vladar got beaten twice by Adrian Kempe in the first period before Quinton Byfield ripped a shot past him from the faceoff dot in OT. Vladar is 0-1-1 in three outings since returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals on 57 shots (.877 save percentage), but he'll see the bulk of the playing time in the Philly crease as long as Samuel Ersson (lower body) is on the shelf.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Hangs on for OT win

    Kuemper made 19 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

    The Kings grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the home side chipped away and scored goals early in the second and third periods to force OT before Quinton Byfield found the winner. Kuemper wrapped up January with just one regulation loss in his last six outings, going 2-1-2 with a 2.89 GAA and .889 save percentage.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Shaky in relief outing

    Ingram allowed two goals on nine shots in relief of Tristan Jarry in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Wild.

    Ingram has started to falter a bit with eight goals allowed on 42 shots over his last three appearances. The 28-year-old goalie didn't take a result in this contest, remaining at 6-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 12 outings. Jarry is struggling heavily of late and Calvin Pickard hasn't played since Jan. 8. The Oilers host the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and visit the Flames on Wednesday, but Edmonton hasn't revealed its plans for the crease in the last two games before the Olympic break. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ingram get the start, as he's been the best of Edmonton's three netminders recently, though that's a low bar to hurdle.
