Prosvetov posted a 33-save shutout in AHL Calgary's 3-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Prosvetov is 2-1-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .897 save percentage through his first four games with the Wranglers. He'll need to make outings like Tuesday's a more regular occurrence if he's going to make a challenge to Devin Cooley's spot as the backup to Dustin Wolf on the Flames' roster. Prosvetov and Owen Say will likely continue to split time with the AHL club.

Askarov allowed four goals on 14 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

The Sharks dominated possession, but Askarov wasn't good enough on the few chances the Kings accumulated. The four goals didn't even come from the Kings' best players. It was a pair of fourth-liners and two defensemen who carried the offense. Askarov continues to offer subpar goaltending, though this is part of the growing pains as the Sharks attempt to become more competitive. He is 1-4-1 with a 4.69 GAA and an .844 save percentage this season. The Sharks host the Devils on Thursday.

Kuemper stopped 37 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

The Kings took a 3-0 lead in the second period, but the Sharks didn't back down. They were able to tie the game, but Brandt Clarke scored at 13:20, and Kuemper made the lead hold from there. This was Kuemper's third win in his last four starts, and the 40 shots he faced were a season high. The 35-year-old is now 3-2-2 with a 2.81 GAA and an .895 save percentage over seven starts. The Kings' five-game road trip is over, and they'll get settled back in at home with a tough matchup against the Red Wings on Thursday.

Daccord stopped 17 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Daccord allowed the first three goals of the game, and while the Kraken overcame that deficit, Cole Caufield got the best of him a second time in overtime. Aside from a spike in scoring in the third period, this was a fairly low-event game, which is reflected in the 21 shots Daccord faced, matching his season low. The 29-year-old is now at 5-1-2 on the year with a 2.68 GAA and a .905 save percentage through eight starts. The Kraken host the low-scoring Rangers on Saturday, which would be a favorable matchup for Daccord should he draw the start.

Dobes gave up three goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Dobes gave up all three goals in the third period, squandering the Canadiens' 3-0 lead. His record remains spotless because of Cole Caufield's overtime tally. Dobes is now 6-0-0 with a 1.97 GAA and a .930 save percentage this season, and he's started four of the Canadiens' last five games. It's quickly looking like head coach Martin St. Louis will ride the hot hand between the pipes. The Canadiens return home to face the Senators on Saturday, which could be a contentious matchup based on their preseason meetings.

Quick posted a 23-save shutout in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

Quick has won two of his three starts this season and was unlucky in his one loss. He's allowed just four goals on 68 shots, providing effective backup goaltending to afford Igor Shesterkin a rest about once a week or so. Quick is a worthy streaming candidate any time he gets the nod, though wins could be tough to come by as the Rangers remain light on offense. It's unclear when he might make his next start, as there are no back-to-back sets within the next week on the Rangers' schedule.

Demko stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers. The second goal was an empty-netter.

The Canucks pushed late in the game, but they couldn't give Demko any goal support. The 29-year-old netminder has yet to allow more than three goals in any of his seven outings this season, and this was the second time he's started consecutive contests. Demko is at 4-3-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .926 save percentage. He'll need more help to regularly earn wins, but the California native looks to be back in peak form after an injury-riddled 2024-25. The Canucks start a three-game road trip in St. Louis on Thursday.

Vejmelka allowed five goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

This was the first really bad game for Vejmelka, though he allowed four goals on 20 shots against the Blues last week in a win. The 29-year-old netminder won't be at his best all the time, but he's been a big positive for the Mammoth early in the season. He's 6-2-0 with a 2.75 GAA and an .892 save percentage over eight starts this season. The Mammoth are back at home for a game Sunday versus the Lightning before embarking on their third road trip of the year and the first one to take them into the Eastern Conference.

Saros made 25 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.

So, here's the drill. Saros needs to be nearly perfect given the Preds' horrid offense -- Tuesday was the eighth time in 11 games that they scored two or fewer goals. Saros is doing his part. He is 4-3-2 with a 2.84 GAA and a .904, which are solid numbers given the circumstances.

Skinner stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Skinner allowed two of the three goals against in the first period. The Oilers came out with a cleaner performance in the final 40 minutes, and that helped Skinner limit the damage to a Barrett Hayton goal in that stretch while the Edmonton offense took over. Skinner is now 3-3-1 on the year with a 2.41 GAA and an .898 save percentage over seven outings. He's been the No. 1 for the Oilers so far, but his performance still isn't inspiring a ton of confidence. The Oilers' next game is a favorable home matchup Thursday versus the low-scoring Rangers.
