Jarry stopped all 18 shots on net he saw in Saturday's 4-0 shutout win over the Islanders.

After an up and down start to the 2026-27 campaign, Jarry has stepped up his game as of late, earning his second consecutive win and first shutout of the season in Saturday's game. Overall, the 31-year-old backstop is up to a 4-1-2 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .901 save percentage across seven outings this season. With Devon Levi (undisclosed) on injured reserve and Frederik Andersen (knee) still on the injured non-roster list, Jarry should continue to command the opportunities between the pipes for Edmonton, raising his fantasy value until Levi is set to return. Jarry is unbeaten in regulation over his last three outings, making him a solid streaming option in most leagues for the time being.

DiPietro stopped 37 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over Chicago.

The visitors out-shot the Bruins 28-13 through two periods, but DiPietro kept things tied up until a wild third period that saw the teams trade two-goal bursts. The 27-year-old then got rewarded for his efforts when Elias Lindholm potted the winner in OT. DiPietro has won three straight starts as Jeremy Swayman's backup, allowing six goals on 97 shots (.959 save percentage) during his winning streak.

Annunen made 22 saves before stopping all four Tampa Bay attempts in the shootout in a 5-4 win on Saturday.

It was Annunen's second consecutive win, but he's still just 2-1-0 in three starts this season. And his 3.89 GAA and .846 save percentage aren't spot-start worthy. Annunen is a placeholder this season; we'll see if he can develop further or simply slide farther into fantasy obscurity.

Vasilevskiy made 29 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to Nashville on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy is the cream of the NHL goaltending crop, but he's on a bit of a slide. He has allowed 13 goals in his last three games and never fewer than four in any of the contests. This is the first time since opening night that Vasilevskiy has allowed that many snipes in a contest. He's 6-3-1 overall, but both his 3.00 GAA and .877 save percentage are below the NHL average this season (2.96, .891). And his high-danger goals against is below the 50th percentile according to NHL Edge Stats. Don't stress yet -- his current drop is directly tied to games with low shot volumes, and Vasilevskiy has a history of taking time to warm up his goaltending engine every season.

Soderblom made 27 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Chicago held a 4-2 lead with seven minutes in the third period, but Soderblom's defense buckled under late pressure as Boston fired 17 shots on net in the final frame alone, and both pucks that beat him came on high-danger chances from in close. Elias Lindholm then scored the Bruins' OT winner on a strong individual effort, as he fought off Oliver Moore on his way to the net before deking Soderblom out of his skates. The 27-year-old netminder remains winless on the season, going 0-2-1 in three starts while giving up 14 goals on 82 shots (.829 save percentage).

Greaves will guard the road goal versus the Stars on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Greaves is set to make his second start in a row. He took a loss in his last outing, stopping 24 of 27 shots against the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old netminder has had some uneven results to start the year, posting a 2-4-0 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .884 save percentage. If he can't turn things around, he could end up falling behind Cam Talbot on the depth chart.

Merilainen will tend the home twine versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of the Sekeres and Price podcast reports.

Merilainen will make his fourth straight start. He's allowed 12 goals on 81 shots over his last three outings, though he's managed to go 1-2-0 in that span. The 24-year-old netminder looks to have built some trust with head coach Manny Malhotra, but Merilainen's performance lately hasn't made him a reliable fantasy option.

Reimer (upper body) is expected to be available for Sunday's home matchup against Edmonton, per NHL.com.

Reimer was a full participant in Friday's practice, and according to Colin Stephenson of Newsday, the 38-year-old netminder looked sharper during Saturday's on-ice session. Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) also participated in Saturday's practice, but Dylan Garand was the first goalie off the ice and could face the Oilers on Sunday, per Stephenson.

Tomkins is set to start on the road against the Rangers on Sunday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Tomkins is with the Oilers because Devon Levi (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. The 32-year-old Tomkins has posted a 3-2-1 record, 3.33 GAA and .892 save percentage in six career NHL regular-season outings. Edmonton is gearing up for the second half of a back-to-back set after Tristan Jarry earned an 18-save shutout victory over the Islanders on Saturday. Edmonton is now 10-2-2 this season and is coming off consecutive shutout wins after besting Calgary 4-0 on Wednesday.

Forsberg is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Forsberg has gone 0-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and a .902 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Kings have been limited to just a single goal in each of his past four outings. Buffalo is 6-4-3 and has averaged 3.08 goals per game this season.
