Wolf made 33 saves in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

The phrase high-and-dry comes to mind for Wolf, who made several 10-bell saves when his mates were out of position. This young man is exceptional post-to-post, and he's saving a lot of sure goals. However, Wolf also has the NHL's third-worst GSAx (-5.2). He's talented, but you need stability, not promise. Bench him.

Stolarz made 26 saves in a 4-3 win over Calgary on Tuesday.

It was his first win since Oct. 16 against the Rangers. In between, he allowed 13 goals in three losses (0-2-1). Stolarz has an awful .886 save percentage through eight appearances -- his career low for an entire regular season is .897, which was set in 2022-23 -- but the entire team has been scuffling. It will improve.

Silovs made 32 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers on Tuesday.

Silovs has been hot to start the season -- he is 3-1-2 in six starts with a 2.44 GAA and a .919 save percentage. He and Tristan Jarry have been splitting games this season, and both men have been strong in the blue paint. Silovs is a must-roster guy this year, and he could find himself on the heavy side of a 60/40 split by season's end.

Gustavsson allowed four goals on just 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss against Winnipeg.

It was another tough night for Gustavsson, who dropped his third straight start as Minnesota's struggles continued. The 26-year-old has now allowed four or more goals in four of his eight outings, falling to a 2-5-1 record. Despite the rough stretch, he remains firmly entrenched as the Wild's No. 1 goaltender after his strong 2024-25 campaign. He'll aim to get back on track Thursday in a challenging matchup against a surging Pittsburgh team.

Ersson made 24 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The first goal snuck between Ersson's pad and the goal post in the first period, and the second was a pure fluke in the third frame. Sidney Crosby backhanded a pass from behind the net, but it hit Nick Seeler's shoulder and dropped in behind Ersson. The 26-year-old Ersson has now won two games in a row while allowing five goals after surrendering eight markers across two losses (0-1-1) to start the season. Ersson's game may be tightening up.

Hellebuyck stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win against Minnesota.

After dropping back-to-back home games, Hellebuyck rebounded with a strong performance against Minnesota, stopping 33 shots in Winnipeg's comeback win. A few unlucky bounces kept the numbers from looking even better, but the veteran netminder still improved to 5-3 on the season with an impressive 2.25 GAA and .926 save percentage. He remains a top-tier fantasy option heading into Thursday's favorable home matchup against Chicago.

Daccord will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Canadiens, per Sound of Hockey.

Daccord will make his third straight start and his eighth outing in Seattle's 10th games. The 29-year-old has won three of his last four contests while allowing a total of 10 goals on 116 shots in that span. The Canadiens have 15 goals scored in their last four games, winning three of them, so this is likely to be a tough test for Daccord and the Kraken.

Knight will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Knight is 3-0-1 with six goals allowed on 124 shots over his last four outings, good for a .952 save percentage. The 24-year-old will draw a tough assignment against a Senators team that has 14 goals over the last two games. However, Ottawa is in the second half of a back-to-back and may not have as much gas in the tank for this contest.

Saros will patrol the home crease against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros has won his last two outings, stopping 57 of 62 shots. He has a 4-2-0 record this season while surrendering 22 goals on 242 shots. Tampa Bay sits 28th in the league with 2.67 goals per game this campaign.

Vasilevskiy will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Vasilevskiy picked up his first win of the season Sunday in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Golden Knights. The 31-year-old will look to string some success together now, and he'll have a good chance to do so Tuesday. The Predators have scored just 12 goals over their last five games, going 2-3-1 in that span.
