Swayman turned aside 22 of 25 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Despite allowing a hat trick to Cole Caufield across the first 33 minutes of Saturday's contest, Swayman stepped up down the stretch and kept Boston's net clean for the entire third period en route to the comeback victory. With Saturday's win, he is up to a 20-12-2 record, a 2.89 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 35 outings this season. The 27-year-old netminder is tied for fourth in the league in wins and ranks inside the top 10 in save percentage among goalies with 30-plus appearances this season. His second full year as the Bruins' top netminder has been a noteworthy improvement compared to the first, and Swayman remains a strong option between the pipes across most fantasy formats. He'll have a chance to grab his seventh win over his last nine appearances if he takes the ice for Monday's road clash with the Rangers.

Montembeault stopped 17 of 21 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

Montembeault kept Montreal's net tidy in the first period before allowing two goals in each of the final two periods of Saturday's contest. Three of the four goals he surrendered came on power plays for the Bruins, who took advantage of Montreal's 26th-ranked penalty kill. Overall, the 29-year-old Montembeault now has a 9-8-2 record with a 3.46 GAA and an .869 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. Since winning each of his first three starts following his recall from an AHL conditioning stint, he has lost three of his last four outings with a 3.75 GAA and an .867 save percentage. With the Canadiens trending down in the Atlantic Division standings, Montembeault is a risky fantasy option and will have to turn things around soon if he wants to fend off Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler for opportunities in net.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Red Wings. The remaining goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.

Hellebuyck was excellent in the first two periods, but the Red Wings scored four times in the final frame to put the game out of reach. Hellebuyck has been slumping of late and is currently on a four-game losing skid (0-2-2), but his peripheral stats are better than his record over that stretch with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage on 110 shots faced.

Gibson stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Gibson was magnificent en route to his eighth consecutive win, and Saturday's victory marked the fourth time during Gibson's winning streak that he allowed no more than one goal. The 32-year-old owns a 1.73 GAA and an excellent .938 save percentage during the streak, having stopped 210 of 224 shots faced.

Lindgren stopped 34 of 40 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Lindgren actually had a better game than the numbers suggest, but the Oilers' top players were in top form Saturday. The Capitals weren't able to build more than a one-goal lead at any point, and three of those slipped away in the third period before Connor McDavid won it in overtime for Edmonton. Lindgren has allowed 14 goals on 105 shots during his three-game losing streak (0-2-1). He's at a 7-6-3 record with a 3.41 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Logan Thompson is likely to be back between the pipes Tuesday in Seattle.

Jarry stopped 13 of 15 shots in relief of Connor Ingram in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.

Jarry came into the game with the Oilers trailing 3-2, and there was plenty more offense to be had on both sides. While Jarry's performance wasn't all that great, he kept things close and benefited from Connor McDavid's winning tally 47 seconds into the extra session. Jarry is 2-2-1 with 14 goals allowed on 113 shots since he returned from a lower-body injury, so he hasn't exactly been providing stability in the crease. The Oilers host the Ducks on Monday, and it's unclear which of the team's three goalies will get the nod for that one.

Ingram stopped nine of 12 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.

Ingram got the hook during the second period after the Capitals took their first lead on an Anthony Beauvillier goal at 14:29. The 28-year-old Ingram didn't get the loss because the Oilers bounced back to win. He hasn't had many missteps between the pipes while jumping over Calvin Pickard for the No. 2 role. Ingram is at a 5-3-1 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .909 save percentage, but the Oilers may not want to carry three goalies for the rest of the campaign. Ingram would need waivers to get to AHL Bakersfield, as would Pickard, so neither goalie can afford to have too many bad outings in a row while competing for starts behind Tristan Jarry, who collected the win in relief Saturday. The Oilers host the Ducks on Monday.

Gustavsson stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Gustavsson's three-game winning streak ended due to the return of Brad Marchand, who scored his second goal of the game at 3:00 of overtime. While the results have mostly gone Gustavsson's way lately, he's allowed at least three goals in each of his last six starts. The 27-year-old netminder is at a 17-9-6 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 33 appearances this season. Jesper Wallstedt has also struggled recently, making it unclear who will get the nod for Tuesday's home game versus the Blackhawks.

Bobrovsky stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

Bobrovsky got back in the win column after allowing 12 goals on 63 shots over his previous two losses. The 37-year-old still wasn't all that sharp, but the return of Brad Marchand gave the Panthers a big boost on offense. For the season, Bobrovsky is up to 20-14-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 35 starts, his worst numbers in his seven seasons with the Panthers. He'll likely rest for Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks -- look for Daniil Tarasov to make that road start.

Hofer allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Hofer took his third loss in five outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 135 shots. The 25-year-old netminder has been better than Jordan Binnington this season, but Hofer has struggled to string wins together, leaving this crease in a timeshare. Hofer dropped to 11-10-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Stars on Tuesday.
