Wedgewood stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's shootout win over the Oilers.

Wedgewood was beaten by a Connor McDavid wrister in the second period, but other than that, he was excellent between the pipes. Wedgewood has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL in 2025-26 and is a big reason why the Avalanche will finish the regular season with the league's best record. He's also ending the campaign on a hot streak with five wins over his last six appearances, posting a 1.28 GAA and a .948 save percentage in that span.

Daws will guard the road goal against the Bruins on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Daws is coming off a 27-save effort in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa. He has a 2-0-0 record in two NHL appearances this season, stopping 57 of 61 shots. Boston ranks 11th in the league during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.26 goals per game.

Vejmelka (undisclosed) was the first goalie off at Tuesday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll start at home against the Jets.

Vejmelka didn't dress for Sunday's game against Calgary for an undisclosed reason, but he'll tend the twine in the Mammoth's penultimate regular-season game. He's been effective in recent weeks, going 5-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .897 save percentage across his last six starts, and he'll presumably serve as Utah's top option in the crease once the playoffs begin.

Rittich is expected to protect the home net against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Luca Dallasta of the Islanders' official site.

Rittich will make his first start since March 24 against Chicago, when he allowed three goals on 12 shots before being pulled after the first period. He has a 14-9-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 29 appearances. Carolina sits second in the league with 3.57 goals per game this season.

Dobes will be in goal Tuesday in Philadelphia, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Dobes allowed at least three goals in three of his last four appearances, but he came out with a 3-1-0 record during that time. His seven-game winning streak was snapped Saturday, though, as he allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-2 home loss to Columbus. As far as Tuesday's game, the Flyers are on the second half of a back-to-back and will likely rest some of their regulars, while the Canadiens are playing for home ice in their first-round series against the Lightning.

Wolf will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf is coming off a 28-save performance in Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah. He has a 23-28-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 56 appearances. Colorado ranks first in the league with 3.66 goals per game this season.

Stevenson will defend the road net against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Stevenson has won two of his three NHL starts this season while allowing only seven goals on 73 shots. Columbus ranks 17th in the league this campaign with 3.02 goals per game.

Knight turned aside 21 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.

Knight's struggles continued Monday, as he was handed his eighth consecutive loss. He's received minimal help from his offense during that span, but he has just an .868 save percentage and a 4.07 GAA during his recent 0-6-2 stretch of play. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder has an 18-25-11 record, a 2.84 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 54 games this season. His first full season in Chicago has many highs he can take into next season, including leading the Blackhawks to more combined wins and overtime losses than regulation losses. He still holds high upside in dynasty-based fantasy formats ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Luukkonen stopped 14 of 15 shots on net in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Luukkonen allowed the first goal of the contest while at a man disadvantage, but went on to keep Buffalo's net clean for the next 56 minutes. With the win, he now has a 22-9-3 record, a 2.51 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 35 games this season. The 27-year-old netminder has been on fire as of late with a 5-1-0 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .910 save percentage across his last six outings. With his hot streak helping the Sabres claim their first Atlantic Division title since the 2009-10 campaign, he'll likely get a game of rest before being the top choice to suit up for Game 1 of Buffalo's first-round series.

Swayman is expected to start at home against the Devils on Tuesday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

Swayman holds a 30-18-4 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 54 appearances in 2025-26, a notable rebound from a difficult 2024-25 campaign in which he managed just 22 wins in 58 outings. Boston's season finale should provide a last look at Swayman ahead of the postseason, and he profiles as a solid fantasy option for the stretch run given his strong win total and above-average peripherals. He's a reliable starter in all standard formats down the homestretch.
