Knight stopped 15 of 22 shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Knight lost his seventh consecutive outing Thursday and allowed a season-high seven goals. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder has an 18-24-11 record, a 2.80 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 53 appearances this season. His first full campaign in Chicago has been relatively positive, with a majority of his recent losses coming after the Blackhawks were eliminated from playoff contention. He's a risky start outside of deep leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Andersen turned aside 23 of 25 shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blackhawks.

With the victory, Andersen is up to a 15-14-5 record, a 3.11 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. Since the Olympics, he has found the win column much more frequently with an 8-4-0 record over his last 12 outings. His save percentage has fluctuated throughout the majority of the season, but his recent wins have elevated him back to fantasy viability in most deep leagues.

Postava was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

Postava's promotion comes as John Gibson (neck) was injured against the Flyers on Thursday. Even with the 24-year-old Postava joining the NHL club, he is unlikely to get into any games, with Cam Talbot set to fill in between the pipes if Gibson is unable to play.

Binnington turned aside 31 of 34 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Despite tending to a clean third period, Binnington allowed one goal in the first and two tallies in the second, which would be enough for Winnipeg to get the win. Following Thursday's loss, Binnington now has a 12-20-7 record, a 3.28 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 40 outings this season. While it's been a turbulent season for the 32-year-old netminder, he has stepped up his game of late with a 4-2-1 record, a 1.87 GAA and a .919 save percentage across his last seven appearances. With the Blues sitting as a long shot to snare a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, he will likely serve as the secondary option behind Joel Hofer the rest of the way.

Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 22 shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Hellebuyck earned his third consecutive win Thursday during a performance in which he kept the Blues off the scoresheet in the second period. With the win, he is up to a 23-21-11 record, a 2.74 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 55 games this season. He's been one of the primary reasons the Jets are making a push for a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, as he's posted a 6-2-0 record, a 2.14 GAA and a .910 save percentage over his last eight games. He'll likely draw the remainder of the starts for Winnipeg during the regular season, giving him elite value for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Tolopilo allowed four goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

The Kings held a 2-1 lead after the first period and never let the Canucks back in. Tolopilo continues to have a thankless job as the Canucks' starter in the absence of Kevin Lankinen (upper body). This was Tolopilo's sixth straight loss, and it's the fifth time in that span he's allowed at least four goals. He's at a 5-11-2 record with a 3.66 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 20 appearances. Tolopilo and Jiri Patera are likely to split the next two games, as the Canucks visit the Sharks on Saturday and the Ducks on Sunday.

Forsberg stopped 24 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Forsberg earned his third straight win with this performance. He's started three of the Kings' last five contests, and with momentum on his side, he might be trusted more than Darcy Kuemper to help the Kings' pursuit of a playoff spot. The 33-year-old Forsberg is at 14-11-5 with a 2.65 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 33 outings this season. The Kings have their last home game of the regular season Saturday when they face the Oilers before wrapping up the schedule with a trio of road games against non-playoff teams.

Hill stopped 30 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

Hill had a 3-1 goal lead to protect early in the third period, but it didn't make it to the midway mark of the frame. He then allowed two goals on five shootout attempts to complete the collapse. Hill has gone 1-0-3 with 13 goals allowed over his last four contests, and this blown lead won't help his case for more playing time. He's at a 10-9-6 record with a 3.04 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 27 appearances this season. Expect Carter Hart to get the nod in Saturday's road game versus the Avalanche.

Daccord stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

The Kraken rallied from two goals down in the third period. Daccord stayed strong after that, and he turned aside four of the Golden Knights' five shootout attempts to secure the win, his first since March 15 versus the Panthers. The 29-year-old's poor end to the season has taken the Kraken out of realistic playoff contention, but they did a good job to still have an impact on the race. Daccord is now 20-20-6 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 47 appearances. The Kraken's next game is Saturday versus the Flames.

Ellis made 37 saves in a 5-0 win over Columbus on Thursday.

It was Ellis' first start and just his second appearance for Buffalo since Feb. 3, and he stepped up with his first career shutout. Ellis' 37 saves are tied for the third-most by a rookie netminder in a shutout in Sabres history. Linus Ullmark stopped 40 and Martin Biron made 39 saves. Ellis is slotted into the No. 2 spot behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Buffalo since Alex Lyon is out for at least a week due to a lower-body injury.
