    Askarov (upper body) will guard the cage at home versus the Blues on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Askarov has featured in just one of the Sharks' last nine games due to injuries but appears to have put things behind him. With a back-to-back upcoming, Askarov figures to feature in two of the next three contests, with Alex Nedeljkovic getting the other game.

    In his last five outings, Husso has registered a 3-2-0 record, 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage. While the Ducks will want to maintain their spot atop the Pacific Division, Husso could see some extra opportunities down the stretch in order to keep Lukas Dostal fresh for a postseason run.

  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Leaves ice first Monday

    Silovs was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road versus the Islanders.

    Silovs has allowed four or more goals in five of his last six outings, posting a 3-3-0 record and 4.07 GAA in that span. With the Penguins heading into a back-to-back, fantasy managers can expect Stuart Skinner to get the nod at home versus the Red Wings on Tuesday.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Slated to start Monday

    Wedgewood is expected to be between the pipes at home versus the Flames on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    Wedgewood figures to start two of the Avalanche's next four outings, as the team is heading into a back-to-back over the weekend. In his last seven outings, the 33-year-old netminder is 5-1-1 with an impressive 1.65 GAA and .936 save percentage.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Leaves ice first Monday

    Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Pittsburgh.

    Sorokin will be making his 12th appearance in the Islanders' last 13 contests, having posted a 6-5-0 record, 2.50 GAA and one shutout along the way. While the Russian backstop figures to continue seeing a heavy workload across the last eight games, New York does have three back-to-backs over that stretch, so David Rittich will see plenty of opportunities as well.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tough shootout loss Sunday

    Greaves turned aside 35 of 38 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

    The 25-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period as Columbus seemed to have the game well in hand with a 3-0 lead, but Boston stormed back to force OT with a rally that included two Pavel Zacha power-play tallies -- the second of which came with just 11 seconds left on the clock. Greaves has taken over the top spot in the Blue Jackets' crease as the team pushes for the playoffs, starting seven of the last nine games and not allowing more than three goals in any of them. Over that stretch, Greaves has produced a 4-2-1 record with a dazzling 1.83 GAA and .927 save percentage.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Hangs on for shootout win

    Swayman turned aside 21 of 24 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Getting a rare back-to-back start as the Bruins try to lock down a playoff spot, Swayman found himself staring at a 3-0 deficit heading into the first intermission. He kept his cool and shut down the Columbus offense the rest of the way, giving his teammates a chance to rally. Swayman has just one regulation loss in his last seven starts, going 5-1-1 over that stretch with a sharp 2.36 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Boston is now six points clear of Ottawa and Detroit for a wild-card spot with eight games left on its schedule.
