  • Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Picks up win Tuesday

    Askarov allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

    The Flames overcame an early 2-0 deficit, but Askarov made sure the Sharks' next lead would hold. The 23-year-old has won his last two starts, but he's given up eight goals on 73 shots in that span. He may continue to face high shot totals behind a defense that can be on the leaky side. Askarov is up to 12-8-1 on the year with a 3.23 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 21 starts. The Sharks are in for a tougher matchup when they host the Stars on Thursday.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Bright spot in dark season

    Knight made 23 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

    The Hawks seemed to be cruising until they collapsed and the Leafs scored twice within eight seconds late in the third to steal the win. Knight may be 1-3-0 in his last four starts, but he's one of the Blackhawks' top players this season. He's 10-8-5 with a 2.54 GAA and .914 save percentage in 23 starts. He has two shutouts. Unfortunately, the Hawks are three points from the bottom of the Western Conference.

  • Golden Knights' Carl Lindbom: Earns shutout in AHL play

    Lindbom recorded a 32-save shutout in AHL Henderson's 1-0 win over San Diego on Tuesday.

    Lindbom has won three of five outings since returning from his stint in the NHL. The netminder is 4-2-1 with a 1.86 GAA and a .929 save percentage, as well as two shutouts, across seven appearances with Henderson this season. Should either of Akira Schmid or Carter Hart become unavailable before Adin Hill (lower body) gets healthy, Lindbom would be the top candidate for a call-up.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Solid in return from injury

    Woll (lower body) made 23 saves in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

    Woll surrendered two goals, including a shorthanded snipe, in a 4:37 span in the first period and then settled in. He had missed four games due to injury. Woll kept his team in the game in the second and most of the third when boos rained down for their weak play. Still, the Leafs are 5-1-2 in the past eight games, and they could do as well or better with Woll back in the paint. He's 5-3-1 overall with a 2.39 GAA and .927 save percentage.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Earns third shutout of season

    Gustavsson posted a 25-save shutout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.

    Gustavsson looks to have clawed back the starting role, as he's tended the twine four times in the Wild's last five games. He's won all of those outings while allowing just five goals on 98 shots. The 27-year-old is up to three shutouts this year and 14 in his career, and through 22 appearances in 2025-26, he's at an 11-8-3 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Wild also have Jesper Wallstedt in what's becoming an embarrassment of riches in the crease, with both goalies worth starting in fantasy whenever they get the nod.

  • Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Yields five goals in loss

    Lindgren allowed five goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.

    Lindgren made his first start in his second game since being activated from injured reserve following an upper-body issue. The 31-year-old netminder didn't get any help in his return to the crease, sending him to his first loss since Nov. 6 in Pittsburgh. He's now 5-4-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 11 outings. Logan Thompson will likely be back between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus the Maple Leafs, but Lindgren should start once during the weekend's home-and-home set against the Red Wings.

  • Ville Husso G | ANA

    Ducks' Ville Husso: Too many goals get past

    Husso made 24 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

    The game was tight, but Husso has allowed a lot of goals in his last two starts (0-1-1). He allowed nine goals in that span and at least four snipes in four of his eight starts. Husso will resume his role as backup now that Lukas Dostal has returned from injury (and looked sharp).

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: First win in almost month

    Greaves made 24 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks on Tuesday.

    Greaves hadn't won since Nov. 20 -- he had rung up a 0-4-3 record since that date. Still, the talented netminder continues to impress, racking up an 8-8-5 record with a 2.76 GAA and .905 save percentage in 20 starts. Greaves has assumed the starter's role in Columbus, and we don't think he'll look back.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Starting Tuesday

    Grubauer will protect the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

    The Kraken have started to alternate goalies, giving Grubauer his third start in six games in this contest. It's a tough assignment for him against one of his former teams -- the Avalanche lead the league with 4.00 goals per game this season.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Defending crease Tuesday

    Knight will protect the road net against Toronto on Tuesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

    Knight is coming off a 23-save effort in Friday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis. He has a 10-7-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.52 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. Toronto is tied for fifth in the league with 3.29 goals per game this year.
