  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Plenty of support in Monday's win

    Shesterkin turned aside 32 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

    The Rangers actually got outshot 34-27 on the night, including 13-3 in the third period, but the outcome was never in doubt, thanks in large part to Shesterkin. The veteran netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss since returning after the Olympic break from a lower-body injury, going 3-0-2 in five starts with a 2.73 GAA and .908 save percentage.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Comes up short in OT

    Greaves stopped 26 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

    The 24-year-old netminder dealt with a lot of traffic in front of him, but he was able to battle enough to earn a point for the Blue Jackets. Greaves hasn't taken a regulation loss since Jan. 8, going 8-0-2 over his last 11 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage as Columbus makes a push for a playoff spot.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Downs former team in OT

    Forsberg made 28 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

    Facing the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2014-15, Forsberg wasn't at his sharpest, but he got just enough support to escape Columbus with a win. The veteran netminder has allowed four or more goals in four of seven outings since the beginning of February, going 2-3-1 with a 3.52 GAA and .886 save percentage.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Yields three goals in win

    Thompson turned away 23 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.

    Thompson kept the Flames off the scoreboard in each of the first and third periods but ran into trouble in the second, where he allowed three goals, including a pair of shorthanded tallies. He earned the win all the same, improving to 22-18-4 on the season with a 2.42 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 44 appearances. With the Capitals six points out of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Thompson will likely be deployed often down the stretch, upholding his already strong fantasy value moving forward. If he continues to find the win column, he should be a strong candidate to be nominated for the Vezina Trophy at the end of the season.

  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Allows six goals Monday

    Cooley stopped 22 of 28 shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.

    Despite posting a clean second period while the Flames tied the game at three, Cooley allowed a trio of goals in both the first and third periods. With Monday's loss, the 28-year-old netminder now has a 7-8-4 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 23 outings this season. He has been held out of the win column in each of his four starts since the Olympic break. Despite his strong overall numbers that are tagged to a decent sample size, his value in fantasy is best served as a streaming option in deep leagues that prioritize saves. While Dustin Wolf is likely in line to start Calgary's second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Cooley has a solid chance to appear in the team's contest Thursday against New Jersey.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: In goal against Jackets

    Forsberg will be between the pipes on the road versus Columbus on Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

    Forsberg has underwhelmed of late, going 1-3-0 with a 3.57 GAA and one shutout in his last five outings. With the 33-year-old backstop getting the nod Monday, Darcy Kuemper figures to guard the cage for Tuesday's road game against the Bruins in the second leg of the Kings' back-to-back.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: In goal Tuesday

    Sorokin will guard the road goal against St. Louis on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin is coming off a 30-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over San Jose. He has a 23-14-2 record this season with six shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 39 appearances. The Blues rank 28th in the league with 2.62 goals per game this campaign, but St. Louis has outscored the opposition by a 13-5 margin during a four-game winning streak.

  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Guarding cage Monday

    Reimer will defend the crease on the road against the Canucks on Monday, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.

    Reimer last played for the Senators on Feb. 5 versus the Flyers, stopping 15 of 16 shots in a winning effort. In total, Reimer has logged seven games for Ottawa this year, going 3-3-1 with an .870 save percentage. While Reimer plays Monday, Linus Ullmark should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start Tuesday

    Dobes will get the starting nod at home against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, RDS.ca reports.

    Dobes has continued to rack up wins, securing five victories in his last seven outings. Overall, the young netminder is 20-6-4 this season in just 30 appearances. Dobes should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine Monday

    Greaves will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Greaves has won his last two outings while stopping 47 of the 51 shots he has faced. He has a 20-12-7 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 40 appearances. Los Angeles is tied for 29th in the league with 2.56 goals per game this campaign.
