Gibson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Gibson looked on pace to secure the win when the Red Wings were leading 4-1 late in the second period, but he gave up four unanswered goals en route to another loss. He hasn't won in any of his past five starts, going 0-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .875 save percentage over that span. Gibson's last win came against the Blues on Oct. 28. He's unlikely to get the starting nod Sunday on the road against the Rangers as the Red Wings wrap up a back-to-back set.

Ellis stopped 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Ellis has won two of his three starts this season, but he's allowed at least four goals in his two outings this month. With an .895 save percentage in his three appearances, and still in a competition with Alex Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for the goaltending job, it's hard to trust Ellis in most fantasy formats. It's unclear when he'll play again, but the Sabres' next game is scheduled for Monday at home against the Oilers.

Knight stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Knight hasn't lost in regulation in any of his past five starts, going 3-0-2 with a 2.16 GAA and an impressive .938 save percentage in that span. The 24-year-old goaltender is having a strong campaign and should remain a reliable fantasy option across all formats. He's posted a save percentage of .935 or higher in four of his last five appearances.

Woll stopped 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Woll was making his season debut Saturday after being away from the team for personal reasons. While he wasn't particularly bad in this game and didn't have any blame for the goals he conceded, the offense didn't provide him enough support. Woll's next chance to earn his first win of the campaign will come Tuesday against the Blues at home. He's the top healthy goaltender for the Maple Leafs with Anthony Stolarz (upper body) on IR for at least one more game.

Greaves made 31 saves on 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Despite the loss, Greaves picked up second star of the game honors for his strong performance, allowing just one power-play goal in the second period prior to giving up a pair of successful shootout attempts. Across 11 games this season, the 24-year-old netminder has a 5-4-2 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .904 save percentage. After alternating starts with Elvis Merzlikins to begin the season, Greaves has started each of the last four contests. Greaves has been hit-or-miss in that stretch, twice allowing one goal or fewer and twice surrendering four or more. The ascendant Greaves is a solid stash in standard formats and has the volume to start in deeper fantasy leagues. His next chance to start is Monday against Montreal.

Montembeault turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Boston.

The 29-year-old netminder shut the door in the third period to give the Habs a chance at tying the score, but his offense couldn't find an equalizer against Jeremy Swayman. Montembeault is 2-4-1 over his last eight outings with a shaky 3.80 GAA and .853 save percentage, but so far coach Martin St. Louis has stuck with him as Montreal's No. 1 in net rather than giving youngster Jakub Dobes a larger workload.

Shesterkin stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blue Jackets.

Shesterkin allowed just one power-play goal in regulation before making two crucial saves in the shootout to help the Rangers win their third straight contest. Overall, the 29-year-old goaltender has a 7-6-2 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 15 appearances this year. Saturday was his first time allowing one goal or fewer since Oct. 14, which capped a four-start stretch in which he allowed three total goals. With the Rangers playing back-to-back games in the weekend slate, Jonathan Quick will likely provide relief for Shesterkin against the Red Wings on Sunday after Shesterkin started the past four games. Shesterkin's next start will likely come Tuesday against the Golden Knights.

Swayman stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.

Boston came out on top in the Original Six battle, and Swayman was a big reason why. The 26-year-old netminder has won five straight starts, posting a 2.37 GAA and .923 save percentage during that stretch as he begins to live up to the big contract extension he signed right before the start of the 2024-25 season.

Andersen made 19 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Carolina out-shot the visitors 36-23 on the night, but Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl took eight of those shots, and that proved to be the difference, as the superstar duo scored three times. Andersen has only one win in his last five starts, going 1-3-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .869 save percentage, and it may not be long before Pyotr Kochetkov begins seeing a greater share of the workload in the Hurricanes' crease.

Saros will defend the road net in Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden against Pittsburgh, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros stopped 16 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins, snapping his three-game (0-2-1) losing skid. He has supplied a 6-6-3 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied for 13th in the league with 3.22 goals per game this campaign.
