    Blues' Joel Hofer: Steady again in win

    Hofer stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

    Hofer has allowed two goals on 47 shots over two games since play resumed after the Olympic break. The 25-year-old has been good for most of the season, and he's settled into an even split of starts with Jordan Binnington lately. Hofer improved to 14-11-3 with a 2.81 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. If the goalie rotation continues, Binnington is projected to start Wednesday in Seattle while Hofer would line up for Friday in San Jose for his next start.

  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Shines in shutout victory

    Silovs turned aside all 22 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-0 shutout victory over the Golden Knights.

    Silovs played a prominent role in an all-around team victory for the Penguins, as he fended off multiple power-play opportunities in the second period in addition to his numerous saves at even strength. With Sunday's victory, the 24-year-old netminder now holds a 13-7-8 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. Silovs has won each of his two starts since the Olympic break and is currently on a three-game winning streak. Over his last nine outings, he has a 1.77 GAA and a .934 save percentage. Silovs is widely available in fantasy formats, making him a strong waiver-wire target for the time being.

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Allows five goals Sunday

    Hill stopped 17 of 22 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Penguins.

    Hill failed to halt the Penguins' momentum once they scored the game's first goal late in the opening period, as he would go on to concede three tallies in the second stanza. With the loss, the 29-year-old netminder now has a 5-4-3 record, a 3.47 GAA and an .858 save percentage across 13 outings this season. Over his two starts since the Olympic break, he has surrendered 10 goals. After posting a career-best year in the 2024-25 campaign, Hill is trending toward a subpar season due to injuries and inconsistencies. He has upside due to his track record, but he is best deployed as a No. 2 option in fantasy leagues that carry multiple goalkeepers moving forward. His next chance to bounce back is Tuesday in Buffalo.

  • Islanders' David Rittich: Starting against Florida

    Rittich will defend the home crease against the Panthers on Sunday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Rittich will make his first start since the Olympic break in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. He saw limited playing time prior to the layoff and has gone 2-4-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .844 save percentage over seven appearances since the start of the calendar year.

    Cooley will get his first start of the post-Olympic break schedule Sunday with the Flames on the second of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old has been sharp in his limited action on the season, sporting a 7-6-3 record, a 2.27 GAA and a .921 save percentage on the season.

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Starts in Minny

    Hofer will start in goal Sunday against the Wild, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    It has been a 50-50 split in net for the Blues in their last 10 games, alternating between Hofer and Jordan Binnington. The latter started the Blues' last game, so it's Hofer's turn in the rotation Sunday. The 25-year-old Hofer has a 13-11-3 record, 2.87 GAA and .897 save percentage on the season. The Wild boast the NHL's 11th-best offense at 3.22 goals per game, so it will be a tough task for the netminder on the road.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Defending crease Sunday

    Gustavsson will protect the home net against St. Louis on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

    Gustavsson stopped 44 of 45 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Colorado before leaving the game due to an illness. However, he recovered in time to serve as Jesper Wallstedt's backup in Friday's 5-2 loss to Utah. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 21-9-6 record this campaign with a 2.60 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 37 appearances. St. Louis ranks 28th in the league with 2.58 goals per game this season.

The 26-year-old is 5-9-2 on the season with a 3.84 GAA and an .874 save percentage.
