Woll made 24 saves in Monday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.

Making his sixth start of the season, Woll collected his first win as a member of the Flyers during a game in which his team never trailed. The 28-year-old netminder has gone just 1-3-2 despite a sharp 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage while in a timeshare with Dan Vladar, but with Philly's offense beginning to wake up, Woll could begin to get into the win column a little more often.

Blackwood turned aside 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

The 29-year-old goalie didn't get a lot of help, and Blackwood kept his team in the contest after Matvei Michkov's second goal gave the home side a 2-0 lead midway through the second period. Blackwood has started seven of the Avs' nine games to begin the season, going 4-3-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage, but Scott Wedgewood should be between the pipes Tuesday in New Jersey.

Garand stopped 29 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

The 24-year-old netminder nearly came away with a shutout, but Anaheim finally solved Garand inside the final two minutes of the third period. He's started five straight games since Igor Shesterkin (knee) was lost for the season, and over seven NHL appearances in total in 2026-27, Garand has a 4-2-1 record with a dazzling 1.85 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Husso made 25 saves in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

The Ducks looked sluggish to begin an east coast road trip as travel delays prevented them from arriving in New York until the wee hours Monday morning, and Husso's ratios paid the price. Through three outings (two starts) to begin the season as Lukas Dostal's backup, Husso sports a 1-1-0 record with a 3.09 GAA and .885 save percentage. Anaheim doesn't play back-to-back games again until early November, so the veteran netminder's workload is likely to be very limited over the next couple weeks.

Cossa stopped 14 of 18 shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Cossa secured the victory despite posting a disappointing .778 save percentage, and it was clear that he benefited from Utah's impressive offensive performance. The young netminder faced relatively little pressure for much of the contest but conceded twice in the third period as Pittsburgh threatened a comeback. Although the win provides some fantasy value, his limited save total and four goals allowed highlight the volatility of his early NHL opportunities. With Karel Vejmelka being a workhorse in the Mammoth's crease, Cossa's fantasy upside will be limited to specific matchups in which he gets an odd start. He's not a goaltender you'd be looking to roster in most formats, especially since he's posted a single-game save percentage below .800 in three of his four appearances.

Silovs stopped 24 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Silovs -- and the entire Penguins defense -- struggled to contain Utah's offense as Pittsburgh suffered a fourth consecutive loss while allowing at least five goals each time. The 25-year-old netminder has faced significant pressure behind a team that has delivered subpar defensive play, and it's hard to rely on him in most formats even though he's in no danger of losing the No. 1 role to Sergei Murashov. In six starts this season, Silovs has gone 3-3-0 with a 3.51 GAA and a disappointing .866 save percentage.

Bobrovsky stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Bobrovsky looked outstanding en route to his first home victory with Toronto while also helping the Maple Leafs snap a three-game losing streak. The veteran netminder allowed only a first-period goal to Mason Marchment before shutting down San Jose over the final 40 minutes. His performance provides an encouraging foundation for fantasy managers, although Toronto's inconsistent start to the season could continue to affect his opportunities to accumulate wins. Nonetheless, this was a step in the right direction since it was the first time Bobrovsky allowed fewer than three goals in any outing this season.

Askarov stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs. Toronto's third goal was an empty-netter.

Askarov delivered a respectable performance, posting a .935 save percentage after entering the contest with an .848 mark through his first five appearances. The 24-year-old netminder surrendered two power-play goals but kept San Jose competitive until the closing stages. His improved showing is encouraging after a difficult start to the campaign, although the Sharks' inconsistent defensive play and his competition with Alex Nedeljkovic could continue to limit his reliability. Askarov's four-game losing streak isn't helping him from a fantasy perspective, either.

Wedgewood will defend the road cage against the Devils on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Wedgewood will get the start in the second half of Colorado's back-to-back, as Mackenzie Blackwood got the nod for Monday's game in Philadelphia. Wedgewood is operating as the clear-cut No. netminder to begin the season -- it will be just his third start of the season Tuesday. The Devils are 3-2-0 at home so far this year and have generated 3.13 goals per game, which is tied for 13th in the NHL.

Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road versus the Mammoth.

Silovs will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Avalanche on Friday in which he gave up five goals on 32 shots (.844 save percentage). So far, the Penguins have been splitting the starts between the 25-year-old backstop and rookie Sergei Murashov, a trend that could continue when the Penguins face the Panthers on Thursday.
