Dustin Wolf G | CGY
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting versus Oilers
Wolf will be in goal on the road versus Edmonton on Tuesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf has just one loss in his last six outings, going 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA, one shutout and a .916 save percentage. After racking up 29 wins last year, a slow start to 2025-26 could see Wolf come up short of that threshold this time around. Still, Wolf figures to remain the workhorse No. 1 in Calgary.

Anton Forsberg G | LA
Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gives up three goals
Forsberg stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Forsberg has started the last four games for the Kings, but the results haven't been encouraging -- he has three losses in that span (1-3-0) and has allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. The Swede netminder has made 13 starts this season, going 5-5-3 with a 2.73 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He should remain as the Kings' No. 1 netminder as long as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) remains on injured reserve.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Excellent vs. Kings
Greaves stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Greaves was beaten by Andrei Kuzmenko in the second period, but that would be the only goal he'd end up allowing in a dominant outing. This was a huge bounce-back performance for the 24-year-old netminder, who was coming off three straight outings with a save percentage below the .890 mark. On the season, Greaves owns a 9-9-5 record through 23 starts, posting a 2.69 GAA and a .906 save percentage.

Lukas Dostal G | ANA
Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Beaten twice Monday
Dostal stopped 18 of 20 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.
Dostal was unable to carry the Ducks to victory, although he could've used some support from an offense that scored just one goal on 41 shots. Dostal has alternated wins and losses over his last five starts, going 2-3-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .871 save percentage over that stretch.

Philipp Grubauer G | SEA
Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes 40 saves Monday
Grubauer stopped 40 of 41 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Grubauer earned his first win in exactly a month, as his previous victory came Nov. 22 against the Penguins. This was his best outing in quite some time, and the 40 saves were a season-high mark by a wide margin. Grubauer hasn't won back-to-back games since winning four straight starts in November, though, so it's hard to trust him for sustained production. Wins aside, his individual numbers have looked decent -- he's had a save percentage above .900 in three of his last four contests.

Spencer Knight G | CHI
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Tending twine Tuesday
Knight will protect the home net against Philadelphia on Tuesday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.
Knight has lost his last three outings while surrendering nine goals on 87 shots. He has a 10-9-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.57 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. Philadelphia is tied for 19th in the league in the 2025-26 campaign with 2.94 goals per game.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Facing Flames
Ingram will patrol the home crease against Calgary on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Ingram is coming off a 26-save performance in Sunday's 4-3 win over Vegas. With Calvin Pickard struggling and Tristan Jarry (lower body) on injured reserve, Ingram could string together some starts if he continues to play well. Calgary sits 28th in the league with 2.64 goals per game this campaign.

Scott Wedgewood G | COL
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to start versus Utah
Wedgewood is expected to tend the twine at home against the Mammoth on Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Wedgewood hasn't suffered a regulation loss in his last 13 outings, posting a 10-0-2 with a 1.90 GAA and one shutout. The Avs look set to continue to rotate their backstops, limiting Wedgewood's fantasy value. Still, with the strong supporting cast around him, Wedgewood figures to continue piling up wins.

Igor Shesterkin G | NYR
Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets starting nod Tuesday
Shesterkin will be between the road pipes versus Washington on Tuesday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Shesterkin will be making his 30th start of the season, having gone 15-11-3 with a .908 save percentage and one shutout in his 29 prior outings. Those 30 appearances currently lead the NHL and set the 29-year-old backstop up to reach the 60-game mark for the second straight year.

Casey DeSmith G | DAL
Stars' Casey DeSmith: Starting in Detroit
DeSmith will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
DeSmith has won his last three outings while stopping 79 of the 86 shots he has faced. He has a 9-1-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 13 appearances. Detroit ranks 13th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this year.
