NHL Player News

Kuemper stopped 27 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Friday's 5-4 loss to Anaheim.

The Kings took a 4-2 lead early in the third period, but Kuemper couldn't prevent the Ducks from rallying, and he then got beaten in the shootout by Troy Terry and Mason McTavish. The veteran netminder has just one win in his last four starts, going 1-1-2 despite a sharp 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage over that stretch.

Lyon stopped 18 of 23 shots in Friday's 5-0 loss to New Jersey.

Lyon built a solid performance through two periods before he allowed three goals in the third. With the loss, the 32-year-old goaltender has a 3-6-3 record with a 3.23 GAA and a .899 save percentage through 13 outings this season. After a decent start to the campaign, Lyon is trending downward in fantasy and hasn't found the win column since Oct. 24. He has also dropped to third on the Sabres' depth chart behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis, who each have two wins or more in November. While Lyon remains off the fantasy radar for the time being, he could become a relevant streaming option if one of Buffalo's other two netminders picks up an injury.

Allen saved all 42 shots on goal In Friday's 5-0 shutout win over the Sabres.

Allen was lights out Friday en route to his first time blanking an opponent this season and the 29th shutout of his career. With the win, the 35-year-old netminder is up to an 8-4-0 record with a 2.27 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Among goaltenders with 10 appearances or more this campaign, he ranks third in GAA across the league. With the Devils set to host the Flyers for the second game of a back-to-back Saturday, look for Allen to have a chance at starting in Monday's home matchup against the Blue Jackets.

Vanecek stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Vanecek has lost his last four outings, giving up 15 goals in that span. The 29-year-old had a 2-1 lead to work with after one period, but the Stars responded with three goals in the middle frame, and that was the difference. Vanecek is down to 2-4-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .870 save percentage over seven outings this season. Karel Vejmelka is likely to get the nod versus the Blues on Saturday.

Oettinger allowed three goals on 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

It was a shaky first period for Oettinger, as he allowed the first two goals of the game. The Stars' offense picked up the slack in the second and gave him a one-goal lead to protect, which he was able to do in a scoreless final frame. Oettinger has won six of his last seven starts, giving up no more than three goals in each of his last six outings. He's at an 11-4-2 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 17 appearances this season. The Stars' next game is at home versus the Senators on Sunday.

Hart (suspension) stopped 12 of 16 shots in AHL Henderson's 4-3 loss to Ontario on Friday.

Hart has allowed nine goals on 56 shots over three appearances during his conditioning loan with Henderson. He's gone 1-2-0, and it's safe to say he's still rusty after this brief return to game action. Friday's appearance is likely to be his last start during the conditioning loan, but given his performance, it's fair to question if Vegas will want to thrust him into the backup role at the NHL level right away. If the Golden Knights wanted to get him more playing time in the AHL, he would require waivers to continue his stay in Henderson.

Ravensbergen logged a 29-save shutout in WHL Prince George's 3-0 win over Wenatchee on Friday.

Ravensbergen continues to see steady work for the Cougars, and this was his second shutout of the season. He's at a 13-6-0 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 19 contests. The first-round pick of the Sharks in 2025 (30th overall) is looking promising after a tough 2024-25 campaign, though he'll still have a long path to the NHL.

Soderblom allowed four goals on 29 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Soderblom wasn't able to take advantage of a favorable matchup, with three of the goals against coming in the second period. The 26-year-old netminder has allowed 13 goals over his last two starts, though this was just the third time he's given up at least four tallies in a game this year. For the season, he's 3-4-1 with a 3.54 GAA and an .879 save percentage in eight starts. Soderblom is regressing compared to last year, which could put him in danger of losing playing time if Laurent Brossoit (hip) is able to get into game shape. Expect Spencer Knight to start Sunday versus the Ducks.

Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Saros still didn't have a particularly strong game, but it was good enough for the win. The Predators took charge with a three-goal second period, and Saros was able to hold the lead the rest of the way for just his second win in his last eight outings. On the year, the Finnish netminder is 7-9-3 with a 3.08 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 19 starts. Justus Annunen is likely to get the nod for Saturday's game versus the Jets, which will see both teams on the second half of a back-to-back.

Greaves stopped 20 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Greaves has lost his last three games in overtime, allowing 10 goals on 81 shots in that span. The 24-year-old hasn't been able to bail out the Blue Jackets from their third-period struggles, but he also hasn't lost a game in regulation since Nov. 5 versus the Flames. Greaves dropped to 7-4-5 with a 2.81 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 16 starts after this poor outing. The Blue Jackets have a tough road game up next when they visit the Devils on Monday to begin a four-game week.
