Cooley stopped 21 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

The loss means the Flames won't play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a fourth straight season. Cooley has gone 3-3-3 in 11 appearances since the Olympic break, posting a 3.40 GAA and an .893 save percentage. With five games left on the Flames' schedule and a back-to-back over the weekend, Cooley will likely continue to share the crease with Dustin Wolf down the stretch.

Shesterkin is expected to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Shesterkin has a 25-17-6 record, 2.50 GAA and .912 save percentage in 49 outings in 2025-26. He's gone 3-1-0 over his past four appearances while stopping 90 of 96 shots (.938 save percentage). Buffalo is one of the league's top teams with a 47-23-8 record. However, the Sabres have been a mixed bag recently, averaging 2.88 goals per game and posting a 3-3-2 record going into Tuesday's matchup.

Gibson halted 32 of 35 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Gibson kept Tuesday's contest competitive all the way until the shootout, where he allowed three tallies on five attempts in the losing effort. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder now has a 28-20-4 record, a 2.63 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 54 outings this season. Despite finding the win column just five times in his last 15 outings, Gibson has maintained solid numbers during that span with a .901 save percentage and a 2.77 GAA. He'll likely see a few more starts during the Red Wings' quest for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, giving him a chance to reach the 30-win mark for the second time in his 12-year NHL career.

Greaves turned aside 34 of 37 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Greaves kept the Blue Jackets in Tuesday's contest throughout regulation and overtime before making multiple saves in the shootout to claim the victory. With Tuesday's win, he is up to a 25-16-9 record, a 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 51 appearances this season. The 25-year-old netminder has been excellent down the stretch with a 2.18 GAA and a .920 save percentage over his last 10 starts. Greaves should continue to draw regular starts as the Jackets make a push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He's a strong fantasy option for the remainder of the regular season.

Annunen posted a 43-save shutout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks.

Annunen has provided decent goaltending lately. He's gone 3-3-0 over his last six games, but he's allowed just 10 goals on 195 shots over those contests. Annunen's shutout was his first of the season and third of his career. He's up to 9-11-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. Juuse Saros is likely to get the nod for Thursday's road game in Utah, and as long as the Predators sit on the playoff bubble, Saros will be the main man in the crease.

Dostal stopped 20 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Predators.

The Ducks went unconventional with 10 forwards and eight defensemen in the lineup Tuesday. While Anaheim generated 43 shots, none beat Justus Annunen, leaving Dostal on the wrong side of a lopsided shutout loss. Dostal has given up 18 goals during a four-game losing streak that has dropped him to 29-19-3 with a 3.13 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 53 appearances this season. Those struggles have the Ducks limping to the finish line in the regular season. Their next game is Thursday versus the Sharks.

Tolopilo stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Tolopilo took his fifth straight loss, but this was easily his best performance during the skid. However, he got beaten by Golden Knights' depth players, Brayden McNabb and Cole Smith, in the defeat. Tolopilo is down to 5-10-2 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen (upper body) is currently unavailable, and if he's shut down for the year, Tolopilo should see the majority of the remaining starts for the Canucks. Their next game is Thursday in Los Angeles, the first of three contests in four days.

Hart stopped 10 of 11 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

The Golden Knights' defense smothered the Canucks, leaving Hart with little work to do in his third straight win. He's stopped 60 of 65 shots in those games, and he appears to have quickly claimed the No. 1 job between the pipes. Hart is up to 8-3-3 with a 2.93 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 15 starts this season. The Golden Knights' next game is Thursday in Seattle.

Jarry allowed six goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Jarry played for the second time in three games, but he wasn't able to deliver a good performance. He had won the Oilers' previous trip to Utah with a 16-save effort March 24. The 30-year-old netminder's inconsistency has left him stuck in the backup role. Jarry is now 18-9-3 with a 3.35 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 32 appearances between the Oilers and the Penguins this season. Look for Connor Ingram to get the nod Wednesday in San Jose.

Vejmelka stopped 21 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Vejmelka extended his winning streak to four games, but he's now allowed 13 goals in that span. The 29-year-old struggled early, allowing three first-period goals, but the Mammoth were able to pick him up and battle back. Vejmelka is 36-19-3 with a 2.74 GAA and an .896 save percentage over a league-high 60 appearances. He'll likely stay busy as the Mammoth look to wrap up a wild-card spot, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him start Thursday versus the Predators, another playoff hopeful.
