  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Between pipes Friday

    Wolf will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Friday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

    Wolf has allowed four goals in each of his last five starts. He stopped 111 of 131 shots (.847 save percentage) in those games. Overall, the 24-year-old is 19-25-3 with a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 49 appearances this season. The Panthers will be a tired team, as they knocked off the Oilers in Edmonton to the tune of 4-0 on Thursday.

  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Wins third straight

    Reimer made 17 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

    His defense did a good job of stifling the visitors' offense, especially late as Ottawa rallied from a 2-1 deficit -- Reimer faced just one shot in the final 20 minutes. The 38-year-old netminder hasn't seen much work of late behind Linus Ullmark as the Senators push for a playoff spot, but he's gotten the job done when called upon. Reimer has won his last three starts dating back to Feb. 5, allowing just three goals on 51 shots (.941 save percentage) during that time.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Tough loss in Ottawa

    Sorokin turned aside 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

    The islanders grabbed a 2-1 lead early in the third period, but Sorokin couldn't make it stick as Warren Foegele jammed home a rebound a few minutes later to tie it up, before Brady Tkachuk did the same thing with just 13 seconds left in regulation. Sorokin has given up three goals or fewer in seven of eight starts since the Olympic break, going 5-3-0 over that stretch with a 2.76 GAA and .902 save percentage.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Sharp in Thursday's win

    Swayman stopped 23 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

    The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Jonathan Toews spoiled it on a Winnipeg power play. Swayman has just one regulation loss during a sizzling March, going 5-1-1 in seven starts with a 1.83 GAA and .930 save percentage.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Flops in Boston

    Hellebuyck made 21 saves in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Bruins.

    The veteran netminder stumbled again, but he also didn't get much help as the Winnipeg offense stayed on the plane in Boston. Hellebuyck has just one win in his last five starts as any faint chance the Jets might have had of making a late playoff push slips away -- over that stretch he's gone 1-3-1 with a 3.62 GAA and .860 save percentage.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Set to start Friday

    Thompson is expected to be in goal at home against New Jersey on Friday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Thompson has played in nine of the Caps' last 11 outings while posting a 5-3-1 record and 2.12 GAA. At some point, the team may decide to ease up on the workload for Thompson, considering it faces a significant uphill battle in securing a playoff spot. Until then, Thompson's ratios continue to be decent, and he's getting frequent starts, making him a top-end fantasy target.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Decent showing in loss

    Wallstedt stopped 24 of 26 shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Despite allowing no goals in the final period of Thursday's contest, Wallstedt gave up one in each of the first two periods, which would be enough for Chicago to steal the win. Wallstedt now holds a 14-8-6 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 30 outings this season. Since the Olympic break, the rookie netminder has struggled to find the win column with a 0-3-2 record across his last seven appearances. His record doesn't tell the full story, however, as he's maintained a .903 save percentage during that span. Wallstedt holds solid fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Dials in for win Thursday

    Knight turned aside 28 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

    Knight stole the spotlight down the stretch in Thursday's contest, making multiple key saves en route to the upset victory. With Thursday's win, the 24-year-old netminder now has an 18-19-9 record, a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 46 appearances this season. Knight has proven time and time again that he can guide Chicago towards the win column, even in low-scoring games. If he can continue his success for the remainder of the regular season, he'll have a strong chance to set a new career high in wins, GAA and save percentage among the four full seasons he's played in the NHL.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Takes shootout loss versus Flyers

    Kuemper gave up three goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Kuemper also allowed two goals in the shootout to take the loss. He's 3-1-2 over his six outings in March, allowing 15 goals on 146 shots in those games, which is right in line with his performance for the season. The veteran netminder is at an 17-13-11 record with a 2.65 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 43 starts this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next -- they host the Sabres on Saturday and visit the Mammoth on Sunday. Kuemper and Anton Forsberg will split those games, but neither goalie is in for a good matchup.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Picks up shootout win

    Ersson stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

    This was a close battle for much of the game, but Ersson still played well enough to help the Flyers get the win. He stopped both attempts in the shootout to secure the victory, his third in his last four outings. The Swedish netminder is now 11-10-5 with a 3.28 GAA and an .864 save percentage over 28 appearances, so it's unlikely he'll unseat Dan Vladar as the Flyers' top goalie. Look for Vladar to get the nod Saturday in San Jose to close out this road trip.
