NHL Player News

Woll allowed five goals on 28 shots Saturday before being replaced by Anthony Stolarz with 3:54 remaining in the second period. Toronto lost 5-2 to Ottawa.

The Leafs have lost three straight games, and they can't seem to get themselves out of their own zone. Or sustain pressure in the offensive zone. That puts pressure on Woll and Stolarz, who relieved the starter Saturday. Woll has allowed eight goals in his last two starts. The Leafs are struggling to find some consistency. Keep him benched if you can. The risk is real.

Andersen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Andersen had not played in the Hurricanes' previous four games. The Danish netminder is 3-0-3 over his last six outings, allowing 16 goals in that span. He's up to 8-10-5 with a 3.21 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 23 starts this season. Brandon Bussi's continued success between the pipes will likely make it difficult for Andersen to get steady playing time, but he's a decent streaming option in the right matchups. Look for Bussi to get the nod in Seattle on Monday to start Carolina's road trip out west.

Ullmark made 21 saves in a 5-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday.

Ullmark is 3-0-1 in four starts since his return Jan. 31 after missing a month due to personal reasons. He has allowed just seven goals on 86 shots (.919) in that span. The Sens are just five points from a wild-card spot, and Ullmark's sharpening focus could be the difference maker for the postseason. That means fantasy managers will more than benefit.

Skinner made 23 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Skinner hasn't lost in regulation since Jan. 11, and he's 5-0-2 in his last seven outings. He has also gone 8-1-2 since Christmas. Skinner allowed 12 goals in his first three games in Pittsburgh, but since then, he has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of 11 games. Skinner has a 2.76 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 37 appearances this season between the Penguins and Oilers.

Shesterkin made 31 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Shesterkin was especially sharp in overtime with five great saves to force the shootout. He missed 13 games prior to the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, and the extra rest during the break clearly has done the netminder some good. The win snapped a five-game skid for a Rangers team that sits last in the Eastern Conference and 30th overall in the NHL. Still, Shesterkin could deliver solid results for fantasy managers.

Saros will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros will get the nod for the first time following his stint with Finland at the Olympics. The 30-year-old went 6-5-2 with a 3.81 GAA and an .880 save percentage over his 14 games prior to the break. Saros is a risky play even against a Stars team missing multiple key players.

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

Forsberg is 0-2-1 with a 4.54 GAA and an .843 save percentage across his past four appearances with the Kings. That's dropped him to 8-9-5 with a 2.80 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 24 outings in 2025-26. The Flames own a subpar 24-27-6 record this campaign, but they've gone 3-1-0 over their past four games while outscoring the opposition by a 13-10 margin.

Wolf will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Wolf will go for his second straight win coming out of the Olympic break. He stopped 34 of 35 shots in Thursday's win over the Sharks. With Wolf starting Saturday, expect Devin Cooley to draw a tougher assignment Sunday versus the Ducks.

Luukkonen will guard the road goal versus the Lightning on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

This will be a tough matchup, as the Lightning are one of the league's top teams. Luukkonen won his first start coming out of the Olympic break, which was also his return from a lower-body injury. He stopped 27 of 28 shots in his win over the Devils on Wednesday. Luukkonen will need to stay sharp between the pipes to maintain a timeshare with Alex Lyon.

Blackwood is expected to start at home against Chicago on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Blackwood has a 16-6-1 record, 2.29 GAA and .916 save percentage in 23 outings with Colorado in 2025-26. He turned aside 31 of 34 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Minnesota on Thursday. Chicago is 1-5-2 while averaging just 2.13 goals per game across its past eight outings.
