  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Gets little help in loss

    Silovs stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres, with Buffalo's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    After the two teams traded shorthanded goals in the first period, Silovs was hung out to dry by his teammates as the Sabres broke the game open in the second. The 24-year-old netminder saw his three-start win streak come to an end, and it was the first time he's allowed more than three goals in an outing since Jan. 4. On the season, Silovs is 13-8-8 with a 2.80 GAA and .898 save percentage.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Sharp in fourth straight win

    Luukkonen turned aside 27 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Bryan Rust spoiled his shutout bid with a shorthanded goal in the first period, but otherwise Luukkonen had little trouble with Pittsburgh's offense. The 26-year-old netminder has won four straight decisions dating back to Jan. 22, and on the season he's 14-7-2 over 24 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage.

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Nabs 20th win of season

    Greaves made 26 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

    The 24-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before Niko Mikkola tipped a point shot past him. Greaves hasn't been stuck with a regulation loss since Jan. 8, and on the season he's 20-12-7 with a 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage -- the first time in his career he's reached the 20-win plateau.

  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Falls to former club

    Tarasov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, with Columbus' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    Facing the team he made his NHL debut with in 2021-22, Tarasov didn't get a lot of help from his teammates, who fell behind 3-0 before finally finding a goal midway through the third period. With trade rumors swirling around Sergei Bobrovsky, there's a chance Tarasov could find himself at the top of the Panthers' depth chart the rest of the season, but his 8-10-2 record, 2.81 GAA and .902 save percentage through 21 outings don't hint at strong fantasy value in a starting role.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Loses to Kings

    Sorokin stopped 30 of 35 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

    Sorokin's four-game winning streak came to an end with this performance. The 30-year-old gave up the first three goals of the game, and while the Islanders showed some life late, the Kings matched them in the third period. Sorokin is down to 22-14-2 with a 2.54 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 38 appearances this season. The Islanders' road trip continues in San Jose on Saturday.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Gives up three goals in win

    Kuemper stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

    Kuemper had lost his last two outings, giving up eight goals on 38 shots. The 35-year-old still got a little leaky here, giving up three goals in the final 20:01 of the contest, but the Kings gave him enough help to get the win. Kuemper is up to 15-12-9 with a 2.68 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 38 appearances. The Kings host the Canadiens on Saturday in what could be a challenging matchup for Kuemper if he gets the nod. He stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 5-1 win over Montreal on Nov. 11.

  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Solid in loss

    Cooley stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Cooley's performance kept it close until the Senators' pair of empty-netters closed it out. The 28-year-old netminder has just one win over his last seven outings (1-3-2) despite allowing a modest 16 goals on 220 shots in that span (.927 save percentage). Cooley dropped to 7-7-4 with a 2.27 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. He still makes for a decent matchup-based streamer in fantasy when he gets the nod, and Cooley may see more playing time down the stretch to avoid saddling Dustin Wolf with too heavy a workload. The Flames' netminders are to be avoided in Saturday's home game versus the Hurricanes.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Cruises to win over Calgary

    Ullmark stopped 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

    Martin Pospisil opened the scoring late in the first period, but that was all Ullmark would give up in this game. He has just two wins in four outings since the Olympic break, but Ullmark has given up just 10 goals on 100 shots in that span to keep the Senators competitive in each of those games. The 32-year-old is now 18-8-7 with a 2.81 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 34 appearances this season. The Senators' road trip continues in Seattle on Saturday.

  • 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.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    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.
