Jakub Dobes G | MON
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Makes 20 saves Monday
Dobes stopped 20 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. He also conceded two goals during the shootout.
Dobes didn't have his best performance, but struggles between the pipes have been a trend for the 24-year-old of late. Dobes has gone four consecutive outings posting a save percentage of .870 or lower, so it's hard for fantasy managers to trust him right now, regardless of who the Canadiens are facing when he's protecting the crease.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: First off at morning skate
Daccord is slated to defend the home crease Tuesday in Detroit, per Piper Shaw of Kraken Hockey Network.
Daccord was activated off injured reserve Tuesday and will make his return to the lineup after missing five games. The 2015 seventh-round selection holds a 6-2-3 record, 2.83 GAA and .900 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. The Red Wings are 2-2-1 in their last five games and are coming off a 2-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Matt Murray G | SEA
Kraken's Matt Murray: Out for approximately six weeks
Murray (lower body) is expected to be out of action for about six weeks, the team announced Tuesday. He has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Seattle activated Joey Daccord (upper body) from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's road matchup against Detroit, which vaults him back into the No. 1 position on the depth chart. Once Murray is healthy, he could compete with Philipp Grubauer for spare starts again. The 31-year-old Murray has gone 0-2-1 while allowing eight goals on 102 shots across five appearances this season.

Jake Oettinger G | DAL
Stars' Jake Oettinger: In goal Tuesday
Oettinger will protect the home net against the Islanders on Tuesday, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports.
Oettinger has picked up wins in three straight outings while posting a 2.29 GAA and a .901 save percentage across that stretch. The 26-year-old turned aside 20 of 21 shots during his last start Saturday in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia. The Islanders' four-game winning streak was snapped in Colorado on Sunday. Oettinger has been phenomenal against the Isles in his career, registering a 5-1-0 record, .936 save percentage and 1.82 GAA over six appearances.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Activated off injured reserve
Daccord (upper body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's road matchup with Detroit.
Daccord has been sidelined for the Kraken's last five contests due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the backstop featured in 11 of the club's first 13 outings and should retake his place as the No. 1 option eventually -- though the team could decide to hold him out of the starting spot versus the Red Wings to give him an extra day off.

Jordan Binnington G | STL
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Starting in Toronto
Binnington will be between the road pipes Tuesday in Toronto, according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
Binnington has alternated wins and losses across his last six appearances, as he's been unable to find his form in 2025-26. The Ontario native is 2-2-2 and has conceded 20 goals on 149 shots during that span. The Leafs are 0-4-1 in their last five contests but have generated 3.53 goals per game this season, which ranks fourth in the NHL.

Andrei Vasilevskiy G | TB
Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to start Tuesday
Vasilevskiy is slated to guard the crease at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Vasilevskiy has appeared in eight of the Lightning's last 10 outings, posting a 6-2-0 record and a 2.35 GAA along the way. It's a strong turnaround for the veteran backstop after he started the year on a five-game losing streak. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, Vasilevskiy should see a heavy workload to close out November and figures to be near the top of the games-played list at the end of the year.

Sergei Bobrovsky G | FLA
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Bailed out by offense Monday
Bobrovsky turned aside 10 shots in Monday's 8-5 win over the Canucks.
Florida outshot the visitors 41-15 on the night, but Vancouver's chances all came in high-danger areas as Bobrovsky's defense hung him out to dry on a number of occasions. Fortunately for the veteran netminder, the Panthers' offense set a new season scoring high. Bobrovsky has faced fewer than 20 shots in four of his last eight starts, but he's just 5-3-0 during that stretch with a shaky 3.27 GAA and .856 save percentage.

Jiri Patera G | VAN
Canucks' Jiri Patera: Late fade in Florida
Patera stopped 33 of 40 shots in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The wild back-and-forth affair saw the Canucks take a 2-0 lead in the first period, fall behind 5-2 midway through the second, then rally to tie it up in the third before the Panthers finally pulled away. Patera didn't give up any egregiously bad goals, but he also showed some nerves at times, which perhaps shouldn't have been surprising considering his first NHL start of the season was coming against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs. Kevin Lankinen should continue to get most of the work while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is sidelined, but Vancouver has back-to-back sets coming up each of the next two weekends, so Patera figures to get at least a little more action while up with the big club.
