  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Second win since Olympic break

    Luukkonen made 36 saves in a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

    Luukkonen has won both of his appearances following the Olympic break while allowing only three goals on 66 shots. His record improves to 13-7-2 with a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Alex Lyon allowed just two goals in a win over the Panthers on Friday night, which could help the Sabres alternate netminders down the stretch.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Bounces back Saturday

    Daccord stopped 27 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

    Daccord allowed four goals in Wednesday's loss to the Stars, but he rebounded in his second start since the Olympic break. The 29-year-old netminder has won five of his last six outings, allowing two goals or fewer in each of those victories. For the season, he's up to a 17-13-5 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 35 starts. The Kraken are likely hoping for one of Daccord or Philipp Grubauer to grab hold of the starting job as they stay in the thick of the playoff race. The next game is a tough one, as the Kraken host the Hurricanes on Monday.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Decent in overtime loss

    Saros allowed three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

    Saros couldn't protect a 2-0 lead against the Stars' offense. He gave up goals to Wyatt Johnston and Nathan Bastian in regulation before Jason Robertson completed the Stars' comeback at 1:47 of overtime. Saros has gone 4-2-3 over his last 10 outings, allowing at least three goals in each of those games. He's at a 21-17-6 record with a 3.19 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 45 starts. Given his recent level of play, the 30-year-old netminder is a risky option for fantasy managers. He'll likely split the next two games with Justus Annunen, as the Predators host the Red Wings on Monday before visiting the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Perfect in relief against Senators

    Stolarz stopped all 12 shots he faced in a relief appearance during Saturday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa.

    Joseph Woll allowed five goals on 28 shots before being pulled. Stolarz entered the game with 3:54 remaining in the second period. The Maple Leafs have lost three consecutive games following the Olympic break, and the team has struggled to get the puck out of its own zone. That puts a lot of pressure on whoever is in the net.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Steadies ship after bad first frame

    Oettinger stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    Oettinger allowed both goals in a span of 1:09 late in the first period. That was all he would give up, and the Stars were able to pull off the comeback, capped by Jason Robertson's tally in overtime. That's a seventh straight win in NHL play for Oettinger, though he's limited opponents to two goals or less just three times during the streak. For the season, he's at a 24-10-4 record with a 2.71 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 38 starts. Look for Oettinger and Casey DeSmith to split the next two games, as the Stars visit the Canucks on Monday and the Flames on Tuesday.

  • Cam Talbot G | DET

    Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Yields five goals in loss

    Talbot gave up five goals on 36 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Talbot still hasn't won in 2026, going 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 150 shots over his last five appearances. The 38-year-old netminder has gotten just eight goals of support in those outings. He's now at an 11-8-4 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 25 appearances this season. John Gibson has put forth better results, and as long as he can stay healthy, Talbot will be limited to backup duties.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Pulled in second period

    Woll allowed five goals on 28 shots Saturday before being replaced by Anthony Stolarz with 3:54 remaining in the second period. Toronto lost 5-2 to Ottawa.

    The Leafs have lost three straight games, and they can't seem to get themselves out of their own zone. Or sustain pressure in the offensive zone. That puts pressure on Woll and Stolarz, who relieved the starter Saturday. Woll has allowed eight goals in his last two starts. The Leafs are struggling to find some consistency. Keep him benched if you can. The risk is real.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Picks up win Saturday

    Andersen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

    Andersen had not played in the Hurricanes' previous four games. The Danish netminder is 3-0-3 over his last six outings, allowing 16 goals in that span. He's up to 8-10-5 with a 3.21 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 23 starts this season. Brandon Bussi's continued success between the pipes will likely make it difficult for Andersen to get steady playing time, but he's a decent streaming option in the right matchups. Look for Bussi to get the nod in Seattle on Monday to start Carolina's road trip out west.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Focus sharpening

    Ullmark made 21 saves in a 5-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday.

    Ullmark is 3-0-1 in four starts since his return Jan. 31 after missing a month due to personal reasons. He has allowed just seven goals on 86 shots (.919) in that span. The Sens are just five points from a wild-card spot, and Ullmark's sharpening focus could be the difference maker for the postseason. That means fantasy managers will more than benefit.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Winning streak ends

    Skinner made 23 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

    Skinner hasn't lost in regulation since Jan. 11, and he's 5-0-2 in his last seven outings. He has also gone 8-1-2 since Christmas. Skinner allowed 12 goals in his first three games in Pittsburgh, but since then, he has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of 11 games. Skinner has a 2.76 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 37 appearances this season between the Penguins and Oilers.
