NHL Player News

Sogaard (undisclosed) has been given the green light to suit up for AHL Belleville, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Tuesday.

Sogaard's return provides the Sens with some organizational depth, but he is unlikely to be promoted to the NHL any time soon. In his three appearances for Belleville this year, the 24-year-old Sogaard has posted a record of 0-1-1 with a 3.80 GAA and an .830 save percentage.

Ellis made 32 saves in Monday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

The 25-year-old rookie mostly shut down the high-powered Edmonton offense en route to his second straight win and third in four starts. Ellis is making a case to become more than just the third wheel in the Buffalo crease, posting a 3.02 GAA and a .907 save percentage while starting three of the last four contests, but he'll be tough to rely on in most fantasy formats as long as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon are both still in the picture.

Lindgren stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Lindgren held on down the stretch to grab his first win since Oct. 12, his first start of the season. With his trip back to the win column, the 31-year-old netminder has a 2-3-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .893 save percentage across six games this season. He remains firmly behind starting goalie Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, but more performances like Monday's could bring the share of games closer to an even split. For now, Lindgren is best deployed as a spot start in fantasy. If Thompson gets the nod in the Capitals' home game versus Edmonton on Wednesday, then there is a chance the team will turn to Lindgren one night later for Thursday's road matchup against the Canadiens.

Kuemper made 23 of 25 saves in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Kuemper surrendered one goal in each of the first two periods, which would be all the offense the Capitals needed to hand their former netminder a loss. Overall, the 35-year-old netminder has a 7-4-3 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 14 outings this year. Monday's defeat ended a four-game win streak for Kuemper, who still hasn't allowed more than three goals in a matchup this month. He remains a strong starting option in all formats and has a chance to reach the 30-win mark this year for the third time in the past five regular seasons. His next chance to bounce back is Thursday in San Jose.

Skinner turned aside 23 of 27 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 27-year-old netminder didn't get much help offensively or defensively, and Skinner had little chance on any of the four pucks that got past him. He's given up four goals in three of his last five starts, and over seven outings in November, he's gone 4-2-1 despite a lackluster 3.18 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Swayman stopped 29 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

After a scoreless first period, Carolina struck twice in the second with both goals getting jammed home from right on Swayman's doorstep, while the Boston offense didn't get a puck past Pyotr Kochetkov until there were 10 seconds left in the third. It was Swayman's first loss in November, and on the month he's gone 5-1-0 with a 2.47 GAA and a .920 save percentage.

Kochetkov made 29 saves in Monday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Kochetkov very nearly collected his second shutout of the season, but Riley Tufte snuck a power-play tally past him with 10 seconds left in the third period. The 26-year-old netminder is a perfect 4-0-0 in five appearances since making his belated season debut Nov. 4, posting a 1.70 GAA and a .926 save percentage. However, the Hurricanes currently seem content to maintain a timeshare in the crease primarily between Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen -- Brandon Bussi is also on the roster, but he's limited to making the occasional start as the team's clear No. 3 -- in an effort to keep both of them healthy.

Vejmelka will patrol the road blue paint Monday against the Ducks, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Vejmelka has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts, posting a 2-1-1 record, 2.97 GAA and .852 save percentage over that stretch. The Ducks have cooled off lately, losing three consecutive games while netting just four goals during their skid. Even so, Anaheim is tied for second in the NHL with 3.67 goals per game heading into Monday's action.

Kochetkov will tend the twine Monday in Boston, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Kochetkov enters Monday's game with a 3-0-0 record, 1.93 GAA and .908 save percentage over four appearances in 2025-26. The Bruins are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now -- they're 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. Kochetkov has fared well against Boston in his career, posting a 3-0-1 record, .929 save percentage and 1.97 GAA across four regular-season outings.

Patera will defend the road crease against Florida on Monday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

The Canucks are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, and Patera will make his season debut as a result after Kevin Lankinen started against the Lightning on Sunday. Patera has made eight NHL appearances for the Golden Knights, going 3-3-1 with a 3.58 GAA and .902 save percentage. The Panthers are scoring just 2.72 goals per game to begin the season, which is tied for the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.
