Fowler will guard the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Sabres, per Marc Antoine Godin of Radio-Canada.

Fowler will look to stay hot after his 30-save shutout in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings. Entering Tuesday's matchup, the 21-year-old netminder has a 1-1-0 record, a 1.45 GAA and a .938 save percentage across 48 shots on net between two appearances. He should continue to see frequent appearances with Sam Montembeault (lower body) on injured reserve. Fowler will face off against a Sabres offense that has struggled to begin the new season with 2.67 goals per game, which makes him a solid start in fantasy.

Dobes will defend the cage on the road against Washington on Wednesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Dobes will get the second night of the back-to-back while Jacob Fowler features versus the Sabres on Tuesday. In three outings this year, the 25-year-old Dobes is 1-1-1 with a 4.43 GAA and .856 save percentage. He should continue to see the bulk of the workload, though Fowler might get some more opportunities if Dobes can't get his GAA down.

Allen will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt with the Red Wings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen comes into Tuesday's contest well rested after Nico Daws took the first game of the Devils' back-to-back against Ottawa on Monday. In his three outings this year, the 36-year-old Allen is sporting a 2-1-0 record, 2.65 GAA and .896 save percentage. Barring an injury, Allen could see action in more than 40 games for the first time since 2022-23 when he was with Montreal.

Garand will be between the home pipes for Tuesday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, per Jim Cerny of NHL.com.

Garand has looked solid to start the season, posting a 2-1-0 record, 1.20 GAA and one shutout. With Igor Shesterkin (knee) out for the season and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still a month from returning, the Rangers will have to turn the crease over to Garand for the time being. If he continues to perform well, Garand could secure his spot as the No. 1 option the rest of the way.

Skinner will get the starting nod at home versus the Wild on Tuesday, per Jamie Thomas of NHL.com.

Through three games this year, Skinner remains undefeated in regulation, going 2-0-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .920 save percentage. The 27-year-old backstop figures to continue seeing the bulk of the workload in Winnipeg, and could give the team the confidence in goal it needs to trade Connor Hellebuyck.

Black was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday, Alex Baumgartner of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Black is expected to serve as the backup behind Akira Schmid for Tuesday's road clash with Columbus. The move will give Jacob Markstrom, who reportedly didn't suffer an injury versus Buffalo on Monday, an extra day to ensure he's 100 percent. For his part, expect Black to return to the Checkers following Tuesday's tilt.

Hart stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. Minnesota's fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.

Hart endured a difficult opening period, allowing goals to Matt Boldy, Maxim Shabanov and Danila Yurov within a 5:07 span. The veteran netminder settled down afterward, keeping Minnesota off the scoreboard for the rest of his appearance, but the damage was already done, and the Wild clinched the victory with an empty-netter from Joel Eriksson Ek. This was Hart's second loss of the season, and the second time in five starts he's allowed more than two goals. The netminder is likely to be on the bench against the Predators on Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he could return to the starting lineup against the Flames on Thursday.

Wallstedt stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Wallstedt benefited from Minnesota's three-goal first period but still needed to protect a narrow lead after the Golden Knights mounted a comeback when they were down by three. Even though the young netminder surrendered goals in the second and third frames, he still did enough to earn the win while giving up two or fewer goals for the fourth time in his first six appearances. Through six starts, Wallstedt has gone 4-1-1 while saving 152 of 163 shots faced, good for a .932 save percentage. He's posted a save percentage of at least .910 in five of his six outings.

Ullmark stopped 29 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Ullmark continued his excellent start to the season, improving to 5-0-0 while posting a .967 save percentage in this game -- he kept the Devils scoreless through the first two periods and most of the third, but Arseny Gritsyuk ended his shutout bid with just over five minutes remaining. Ullmark has been outstanding to open the 2026-27 season, as he's allowed no more than two goals in any of his five appearances. The Senators are playing the second leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday, so Ullmark will likely head to the bench against the Blues, but he could return to the Senators' crease Thursday against the Islanders.

Daws stopped 16 of 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. Ottawa's fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Daws allowed two goals in the second period before giving up another one in the third. The Devils struggled to generate offensive support, leaving their goaltender with little margin for error. Daws has dropped his two starts this season, allowing nine goals on 41 shots faced. He should remain as the No. 2 goaltender behind Jake Allen.
