  • Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Surrenders five goals in loss

    Korpisalo gave up five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

    Korpisalo's performance is underscored by the fact the Predators had made four trades to ship out veterans in the lead-up to this contest. The 31-year-old netminder wasn't able to hold back Nashville's offense, taking his first regulation loss since Dec. 27 in Buffalo. Korpisalo is down to an 11-9-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. Look for him and Jeremy Swayman to split the next two games, which are Saturday at home versus the Capitals and Sunday in Pittsburgh.

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Picks up win Thursday

    Saros stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

    Saros ended a slide in which he was winless over his last four outings, allowing 17 goals in that span. The 30-year-old netminder still made it interesting by allowing two goals in the third period, but the Bruins ran out of time on their comeback effort. Saros is up to 22-18-6 with a 3.18 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 47 starts this season. The Predators kick off a road trip Saturday in Buffalo.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Undefeated in regulation in four

    Hellebuyck made 26 saves in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

    Hellebuyck is undefeated in regulation (2-0-2) since his gold-medal domination at the 2026 Olympics. But the Jets have already started to strip off parts, especially with Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley headed out of town. Hellebuyck will suffer a bit with those two pillars on D headed out of town.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Third straight loss

    Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

    Vasilevskiy has lost three straight games and allowed 12 goals in that span, while the Bolts have lost four straight. Despite the slump, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Vasilevskiy is 28-10-3 with a 2.28 GAA and .914 save percentage in 41 games this season.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Allows five goals in loss

    Woll made 18 saves in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Thursday. He allowed five goals.

    The Leafs were solid through 60 minutes before the wheels came off, leaving Woll on his own in the third period. The score ballooned from 2-2 to the final score. The team is starting to trade off players before Friday's deadline, so Woll's job is about to get a bit harder, especially if Oliver Ekman-Larsson is sent out of town. Woll hasn't won since the break (0-3-0) and is 13-10-4 with a 3.13 GAA and .904 save percentage in 28 games.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Undefeated in regulation in four

    Shesterkin made 29 saves in a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

    It was the Rangers' first regulation win at home since they beat the Blues 3-2 on Nov. 24, 2025 (19 games). Shesterkin isn't the issue in New York -- he's undefeated in regulation since the break (2-0-2), and he's 19-12-6 with a 2.50 GAA and .912 save percentage in 38 starts. Wins may get tougher to acquire with guys like Vincent Trocheck and Sam Carrick likely headed out by deadline.

  • Mammoth's Vitek Vanecek: Posts 16-save shutout

    Vanecek recorded a 16-save shutout in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

    Vanecek didn't have a lot of work throughout the game, but he got the job done and secured his first shutout of the campaign. This was the first start for the 30-year-old netminder since Jan. 27, and since he's the team's clear No. 2 option between the pipes behind Karel Vejmelka, Vanecek won't have a lot of upside -- and even when he starts, his value is strictly matchup-based.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Gives up two goals Thursday

    Vladar stopped 20 of 22 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Mammoth. The third goal was an empty-netter at the 18:12 mark of the third period.

    Vladar was coming off back-to-back wins, but he was unable to keep that run alive. That said, the offense failed to provide him with any support, as they were shut out and mustered only 16 shots on goal. Vladar will aim to bounce back if he starts Saturday on the road against the Penguins.

  • Senators' Lucas Beckman: Earns fourth shutout

    Beckman recorded a 16-save shutout in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 7-0 win over Gatineau on Thursday.

    This was Beckman's fourth shutout of the campaign, earning two each between Chicoutimi and Baie-Comeau. He's now 12-15-3 with a 2.75 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. The Senators prospect has been more of a timeshare goalie since joining Chicoutimi, and his performance has drastically improved behind a strong team.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Slated to start Thursday

    Kuemper (illness) is expected to start at home against the Islanders on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Kuemper missed Monday's game against Colorado due to the illness. He has a 14-12-9 record, 2.68 GAA and .897 save percentage in 37 outings in 2025-26. The Islanders suffered a 5-1 loss to Anaheim on Wednesday, which snapped New York's five-game winning streak. The Islanders are 35-22-5 this season.
