Forsberg stopped 19 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

Forsberg has alternated good and bad performances lately. He's 3-1-1 over his last five games, with one goal or less allowed in all three of the wins. For the season, the 33-year-old netminder is at a 4-2-2 record with a 2.69 GAA and an .894 save percentage in eight appearances. Look for Darcy Kuemper to be back between the pipes Tuesday against his former team, the Capitals.

Nedeljkovic stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Nedeljkovic wasn't sharp enough to stop the Golden Knights' flurry of offense in the second period. He did better in the third to keep the game close, but the Sharks couldn't pull even. Nedeljkovic has gone four outings without a win, posting a record of 0-3-0 with 12 goals allowed on 96 shots in that span. On the year, he's at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.12 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 11 outings, numbers quite similar to what he did in 38 games with the Penguins in 2024-25. With the Sharks' fortunes starting to sour, Nedeljkovic may get some chances to tend the twine, but Yaroslav Askarov looks to be the clear starter at this point of the season.

Lindbom stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

The Golden Knights surged to a 4-1 lead in the second period, but the Sharks got two goals back before the intermission. Lindbom was able to protect the lead over the final 20 minutes to secure his first NHL win. He improved to 1-4-2 with a 3.14 GAA and an .870 save percentage over seven appearances, and he's allowed three goals in each of his last six outings. Vegas potentially has a decision to make before Tuesday's matchup versus the Blackhawks, as Carter Hart (suspension) will be eligible to play. The Golden Knights could opt to carry three goalies after Hart's performance on his conditioning stint was less than impressive, but Lindbom could also be sent down to AHL Henderson to make room. Clarity on the Vegas crease should come soon, though that should also be temporary, as Adin Hill (lower body), who is week-to-week, will probably return eventually.

Hildeby made 33 saves Saturday in a 7-2 win over Pittsburgh.

It was Hildeby's first win of the season (1-2-1) in his sixth appearance. The Maple Leafs have struggled defensively this season, but the team played better in front of him while providing plenty of offensive support. Hildeby will remain the team's No. 2 option behind Joseph Woll while Anthony Stolarz (upper body) remains sidelined.

Annunen stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Jets. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 21 seconds left in the game.

Annunen got the start in the second leg of his back-to-back set after Juuse Saros defeated the Blackhawks on Friday. Unfortunately for the Predators, Annunen was unable to replicate the results and was beaten four times en route to another defeat. Annunen has won in just one of his eight appearances this season, going 1-4-1 and allowing three or more goals in all but one of them.

Comrie stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Comrie was coming off three straight losses, but it seems he needed a break. After sitting on the bench in a 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Friday, Comrie responded with one of his best performances of the campaign en route to a comfortable win over the Predators. The matchup was a favorable one on paper, but this should be a huge confidence booster for the 30-year-old netminder. Expect Comrie to remain as the Jets' starting goaltender as long as Connor Hellebuyck (knee) remains out.

Swayman stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Swayman extended his excellent stretch in this shootout win over the Red Wings. He's won three of his last four outings while allowing two or fewer goals each time. He's also conceded three or fewer goals in his past 10 contests while posting a save percentage of at least .900 each time. It wouldn't be a stretch to say Swayman has been among the best goaltenders in the Eastern Conference in November.

Talbot stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Talbot returned to the crease after John Gibson played in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Friday. However, Talbot lost for a third straight outing despite the brief break. This negative stretch comes after a four-game winning streak. Talbot should continue as the Red Wings' No. 1 starter, but it's hard to trust him right now due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

Gustavsson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Gustavsson's three-game winning streak and the Wild's seven-game heater came to an end with this result. The 27-year-old played well, but goals by Beck Malenstyn and Josh Doan in regulation and three Sabres tallies on four attempts in the shootout sent Gustavsson to the defeat. The Swedish netminder is now 7-7-3 with a 2.74 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 17 starts this campaign. He's been splitting the crease with Jesper Wallstedt for most of November, and that arrangement has worked well for both netminders, giving the Wild one of the strongest goalie rooms in the league this season. A four-game road trip is ahead, beginning Tuesday in Edmonton.

Ellis stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

Ellis was torched for six goals in his last outing, but he was able to pick up his third win in his last four starts with this performance. The second goal he allowed in regulation was off a turnover, so this was actually a pretty good performance for the 25-year-old. Ellis is up to 4-2-0 with a 3.13 GAA and an .898 save percentage across six starts this season. The Sabres don't have any back-to-backs in the coming week -- they play at home against the Jets on Monday before visiting the Flyers on Wednesday and the Jets on Friday. With three goalies on the roster, it remains difficult to predict how the workload will get divided, though Ellis getting a win Saturday should help him get another look in the crease soon.
