Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Beaten five times Friday
Jarry stopped 26 of 31 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Jarry made his first start since Feb. 4, when he conceded four goals and made 21 saves in a loss to the Flames. It marked his fourth straight outing without a win while protecting the Oilers' crease, going 0-3-0 with a 5.71 GAA and .812 save percentage over that stretch while allowing at least four goals each time. Connor Ingram could start to play a bit more regularly in the near future, given Jarry's recent struggles.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Defending crease Saturday
Thompson will guard the road net against Boston on Saturday, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.
Thompson is coming off a 20-save effort in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Utah. He has a 21-17-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.42 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 42 appearances. Boston sits ninth in the league with 3.33 goals per game this season.

Frederik Andersen G | CAR
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Earns win despite subpar outing
Andersen stopped 13 of 16 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
Andersen got back to winning ways after sitting out the 6-4 win over the Canucks on Wednesday and losing against the Kraken on Monday. That said, this was far from his best showing, as the 36-year-old veteran posted an underwhelming .813 save percentage in the game. Andersen has posted a save percentage below .870 in his last two starts.

Scott Wedgewood G | COL
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Nabs win in relief
Wedgewood turned aside all 10 shots he faced in regulation and overtime and both of Dallas' shootout attempts after replacing Mackenzie Blackwood early in the second period of Friday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Colorado was trailing 4-2 when head coach Jared Bednar made the switch in the crease, and the move paid off because Wedgewood slammed the door shut on Dallas. The veteran netminder has just one regulation loss in his last seven outings, going 5-1-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .910 save percentage since Jan. 8. While he's been working as the clear backup to Blackwood over the last couple months, Friday's performances might earn Wedgewood more playing time.

MacKenzie Blackwood G | COL
Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Gets hook in Dallas
Blackwood gave up four goals on 11 shots before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood early in the second period of Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.
The Avalanche were staring at a 4-2 deficit when Blackwood got the hook, and the move worked for head coach Jared Bednar. It was the first time Blackwood had allowed more than three goals in a start since Jan. 23. Over his last 10 outings, he has produced a 5-4-0 record, 2.50 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Arvid Soderblom G | CHI
Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Gives up four goals in loss
Soderblom stopped 16 of 20 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks. The final two goals were empty-netters.
Soderblom has won just two of his six starts since the beginning of January. The results haven't been encouraging either, as the 26-year-old netminder owns a 2-3-1 mark with an .885 save percentage in that stretch. Settled into the No. 2 role behind Spencer Knight, Soderblom is better suited to be a matchup-based, streaming alternative in most formats outside of the very deep ones.

Nikita Tolopilo G | VAN
Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Snaps losing skid
Tolopilo stopped 20 of 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Tolopilo was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, but the win was never in doubt after the Canucks added three goals in the final frame. This was Tolopilo's first win since a 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Jan. 29. Between both wins, the 25-year-old netminder had posted a 0-2-2 record with a 3.37 GAA. As the backup goaltender of one of the worst teams in the NHL, however, Tolopilo shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal (if any) in most formats.

John Gibson G | DET
Red Wings' John Gibson: Gets little help in loss
Gibson stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
All three Panther tallies were scored by Matthew Tkachuk. Gibson otherwise looked solid in his return from a minor upper-body injury that cost him only one game, and he's allowed more than three goals only once in 17 outings since the calendar flipped to 2026, going 10-5-1 with a stellar 1.99 GAA and .924 save percentage since the beginning of January.

Jeremy Swayman G | BOS
Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Starting Saturday
Swayman will be between the home pipes versus Washington on Saturday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
Swayman was outstanding Tuesday, stopping 34 shots in a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder is 23-13-3 with a 2.85 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 40 appearances in 2025-26. The Capitals are generating 3.14 goals per game, 16th in the NHL.

Sergei Bobrovsky G | FLA
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Sharp in Friday's win
Bobrovsky made 28 saves in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
With the trade deadline having come and gone without Bobrovsky getting dealt, the veteran netminder returned to the Panthers crease and looked sharp. With fewer distractions, he might be able to find some consistency down the stretch -- Bobrovsky's allowed more than three goals in four of his last 12 outings, going 4-7-0 during that span with a 3.56 GAA and .863 save percentage.
