  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tagged with loss vs. Blues

    Lankinen stopped 18 of 20 shots faced in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Blues. The final goal was an empty-netter.

    Lankinen was beaten twice over a 79-second span in the second period, and by the time the Blues added a third goal, the 30-year-old netminder was already on the bench. Lankinen has dropped three of his last four starts in regulation, but with a save percentage of .900 or higher in three of those four contests, Lankinen's play has been better than what the numbers indicate.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Third win in last four starts

    Ullmark made 12 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

    The ice was heavily tilted toward Joseph Woll, who saw 43 shots compared to Ullmark's 14. Still, Ullmark has won three of his last four starts, and he's 6-2-2 in 10 outings since the Olympic break. He has allowed two or fewer goals in six of those appearances.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Easy outing vs. Vancouver

    Binnington stopped 14 of 15 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    Binnington had a favorable matchup on paper against the second-worst offense in the NHL, and he didn't have significant problems securing the win while posting a .933 save percentage. Binnington, who has been splitting the workload between the posts with Joel Hofer, has won three of his last four starts while posting a save percentage of .920 or higher in each of those wins.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Loss in surprise start Saturday

    Woll made 38 saves in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    Woll was a surprise starter Saturday after Anthony Stolarz took a puck to the throat during the pregame warmups. Woll was solid Saturday, but he didn't get much help from his teammates again. Since the Olympic break, he has gone 1-6-2 in nine appearances, and he's allowed four or more goals in a game five times.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Third win in last four starts

    Vladar made 24 saves in a 4-1 over San Jose on Saturday.

    The score betrays how tight this game was. Valdar and Alex Nedeljkovic were locked in a goalie's duel the entire night before Philadelphia potted two empty-netters. Vladar allowed just one power-play goal in the second period. He has won three of his last four starts, and he's 23-11-7 with a 2.41 GAA and .908 save percentage in 43 appearances. His GAA is fifth-best in the NHL, and his save percentage puts him in a tie for 15th overall. Vladar's first season in orange and black looks very good on him.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to face Edmonton

    Vasilevskiy is expected to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    Vasilevskiy has gone 3-1-0 while stopping 90 of 98 shots (.918 save percentage) across his past four outings. He's 32-12-3 with a 2.29 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 47 appearances in 2025-26. Edmonton ranks fourth in goals per game with 3.47 this season, but the Oilers are missing Leon Draisaitl (lower body).

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tough loss against Buffalo

    Forsberg stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.

    Things unraveled in the third period for the Kings, as a power-play goal credited to Rasmus Dahlin was actually knocked across the line by Cody Ceci, while the Sabres' final tally was scored into an empty net. Forsberg has has some bumpy performances since the Olympic break, going 2-4-0 in seven outings with an .887 save percentage.

  • Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gets almost no help from teammates

    Nedeljkovic made 24 saves in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday. He allowed two goals.

    The game was tight; the Flyers scored twice into an empty net in the last 1:12 of the game. Nedeljkovic has lost three straight games after starting March with three wins in his first four games. He's the de facto starter right now; Yaroslav Askarov has missed six straight games with a lower-body injury. Nedeljkovic did his part Saturday. Now the rest of the lineup needs to do the same. San Jose is three points behind Nashville for the second wild card in the Western Conference.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Keeps rolling Saturday

    Luukkonen turned aside 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

    Artemi Panarin opened the scoring midway through the first period on the power play, but Luukkonen shut the door the rest of the way as the Sabres' offense took over. The 27-year-old netminder has won six of seven starts since the Olympic break, going 6-1-0 with a stellar .930 save percentage.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Third straight loss

    Hellebuyck made 26 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

    Hellebuyck is 0-1-2 in his last three outings and 4-3-4 with an .887 save percentage in 11 appearances since his gold-medal win at the Olympics. Hellebuyck needs to be near perfect for his team to make the playoffs. The Jets are four points behind the Kings for the second wild card in the Western Conference.
