  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Set to face Detroit

    Woll is set to start at home against Detroit on Wednesday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

    Woll will attempt to rebound after allowing 11 goals on 62 shots (.823 save percentage) across his past two outings. He's 11-5-3 with a 2.90 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. Detroit has won six of its past seven games to elevate its record to 30-16-4 this season. The Red Wings have averaged 3.71 goals per game across that seven-game stretch.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Wins in return to action

    Lyon stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

    Lyon made his first appearance since Dec. 29 after missing nine games with a lower-body injury and being the backup of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday against the Hurricanes. Despite the absence, Lyon continued his superb run with his eighth straight win. During that span, he has posted a 2.32 GAA and an impressive .918 save percentage.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Gives up four goals in loss

    Quick allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

    Quick was playing in what could be his last game in Los Angeles, the city he called home for the first 16 years of his NHL career. His old team got the better of him in this one, extending the veteran netminder's losing streak to 12 outings (0-10-2). He's now at a 3-11-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Spencer Martin has started to push Quick for playing time while the Rangers await the return of Igor Shesterkin (lower body). The Rangers' road trip wraps up Friday against the Sharks.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Relieves injured Kuemper in win

    Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Forsberg entered the game late in the first period after Kuemper left following some contact in the crease. The 33-year-old Forsberg was excellent over the final two frames, limiting the Rangers to only J.T. Miller's goal with 27 seconds left in the third period. Should Kuemper miss time, Forsberg would resume the No. 1 role as he did for a couple of weeks in December during Kuemper's previous absence. With the win, Forsberg is up to 8-6-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next matchup is Saturday in St. Louis to begin a six-game road trip, so fantasy managers have some time to see how Kuemper's injury situation plays out before rushing to add Forsberg.

  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Gives up two goals in loss

    Jarry allowed two goals on 17 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

    A flurry of action saw all three goals in the game scored in a span of 3:09 during the second period. Jarry was bested by Arseny Gritsyuk and Cody Glass at the start and end of that sequence, and the Oilers' offense came up unusually flat. The 30-year-old Jarry dropped to 13-4-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. The Oilers are set to host the Penguins on Thursday, but Jarry has not played consecutive contests yet since returning from a lower-body injury, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod versus his former team. Jarry defeated the Penguins with a 26-save effort in a 6-4 win Dec. 16 in Pittsburgh, just four days after he was traded to Edmonton.

  • Jake Allen G | NJ

    Devils' Jake Allen: Quiets Oilers

    Allen stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Oilers.

    Allen hadn't played in the Devils' last four games. He lost his previous three outings, but he bounced back in a big way Tuesday, limiting the damage to a Matt Savoie goal in the second period. With the win, Allen improved to 12-11-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 25 appearances. The Devils close out the road trip with a pair of favorable matchups, as they visit the Canucks on Friday and the Kraken on Sunday.

  • Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Third straight loss

    Askarov made 16 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

    The Sharks were solid in the first period, but they slipped in the second and the wheels came off in the third. Askarov is talented, but goalies cannot do things on their own. The southpaw has lost three straight games. Overall, Askarov is 16-13-1 with a 3.51 GAA and an .890 save percentage.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Dialed in and dominating blue paint

    Vasilevskiy made 22 saves Tuesday in a 4-1 win over San Jose.

    The Big Cat is an impressive 10-0-1 in his last 11 starts. In his last five games, he has really dialed in his focus and allowed just seven goals. Vasilevskiy is 21-7-3 overall with a 2.18 GAA and a .917 save percentage. He's playing as good a game as he's ever delivered in an NHL uniform.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Third straight win

    Dobes made 16 saves in a 4-3 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

    It's Dobes' third straight win, although that's the extent of games he's played in January. Such was the peril of a three-headed goalie monster, but Jacob Fowler was returned to the AHL a few days ago. Dobes now has sole possession of the second seat, and he could be a solid daily play depending on the matchup. Overall, he's 15-5-3 with a 3.01 GAA and an .887 save percentage.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Not great in loss

    Hofer stopped 13 of 15 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

    Hofer wasn't able to pick up a third straight win, as power-play goals by Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele in the first period ended up deciding the game. The 25-year-old Hofer didn't face much traffic in this one, though he kept it close after the early struggles. He's down to 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 27 appearances. Hofer is well on his way to a career-high workload as he continues to hold down a slight majority of the starts over the last month. The Blues have a back-to-back up next, with a game in Dallas on Friday followed by a home matchup versus the Kings on Saturday, which should allow Hofer and Jordan Binnington to get a start each.
