Allen made 23 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

John Tavares and Matias Maccelli were the only Leafs to beat him. Allen has been sharp as the Devils' top guy in the absence of Jacob Markstrom (lower body). He has won three straight games and sits with a 3-0-0 record, 1.91 GAA and .931 save percentage. On top of that, those wins came against fierce competition -- the Panthers, Oilers and Maple Leafs. Allen is an excellent fantasy play right now.

Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Mammoth on Tuesday.

This will be Wedgewood's seventh straight start. He's allowed exactly one goal in five of his first six outings, going 5-0-1 to begin the year. Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) appears to be nearing a return, but Wedgewood has played too well to slip fully back into the backup role right away, so fantasy managers should hold onto him to see how the workload gets distributed.

Kuemper will defend the road net against St. Louis on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Following a two-game absence because of a lower-body injury, Kuemper will make his fourth start of the season. He has posted a record of 0-2-1 this season while stopping 66 of 76 shots. St. Louis has posted 3.00 goals per game through five appearances this campaign.

Dostal will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Dostal has started the season 1-2-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .898 save percentage. He'll be making his fourth straight start, so he'll likely be due for a rest soon. The Predators have started to slump, going 0-2-1 with seven goals scored during their three-game losing streak.

Murray will guard the road goal versus the Capitals on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Murray is set for his Kraken debut. The 31-year-old has been battling with Philipp Grubauer for backup duties, but Joey Daccord's strong play early on has left little playing time for the other two goalies on the Seattle roster. The Capitals are a tough foe, having scored 17 goals while going 4-2-0 to start the season.

Kuemper (lower body) will be an option for Tuesday's road clash with the Blues, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Head coach Jim Hiller hasn't announced a starter yet, only offering the news that Kuemper will be in uniform, which means Pheonix Copley will likely be in the press box as a healthy scratch. Even if Kuemper doesn't play Tuesday, he should be in line to retake his spot in the crease for Thursday's road matchup with Dallas.

Swayman was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, indicating he'll defend the home cage versus the Panthers.

Swayman has dropped each of his last two outings, giving up nine goals on 74 shots (.878 save percentage) in defeats to the Golden Knights and Avalanche. A clash with another playoff-caliber club doesn't necessarily bode well for Swayman's ability to get back into the win column, though the Panthers are scoring just 2.14 goals per game through their first seven outings.

Binnington will defend the home goal against the Kings on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Binnington was sharp in his last start, stopping 18 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Dallas. The 32-year-old owns a 2-1-0 record, 2.81 GAA and .882 save percentage over four appearances this season. The Kings have dropped four straight games and have scored 16 goals through six contests in 2025-26, which is tied for 20th in the league.

Vejmelka is expected to start Tuesday's home game against Colorado after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports.

Vejmelka made 18 saves in a 6-3 win over San Jose on Friday. He has won his last three outings while stopping 58 of 64 shots to improve to 3-1-0 this season. Colorado sits eighth in the league with 3.50 goals per game this campaign.

Lankinen will start in Tuesday's road game versus the Penguins, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Lankinen has a 1-1-0 record during the early portion of the 2025-26 campaign, turning aside a combined 62 of 68 shots (.912 save percentage) across two appearances. The Penguins have won back-to-back games, scoring seven goals over that span. Lankinen is 1-0-0 with a 2.21 GAA and a .900 save percentage in two career outings against Pittsburgh.
