Bobrovsky will defend the cage on the road against the Bruins on Tuesday.

Bobrovsky has given up more than two goals just once in his first five appearances, going 3-2-0 with a stellar 2.02 GAA. The veteran netminder has reached the 50-game mark in each of his previous four campaigns and shows no signs of slowing down in 2025-26. With no back-to-backs on the schedule in the short term, fantasy managers can expect a heavy dose of Bobrovsky in the crease.

Luukkonen (lower body) was reassigned to AHL Rochester on a conditioning assignment Tuesday.

Luukkonen figures to get the start for the Americans in Wednesday's matchup with AHL Syracuse, though he could stay in the minors a little longer. At a minimum, the netminder shouldn't be expected to suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Red Wings. In the meantime, Alex Lyon figures to continue seeing the bulk of the starts for the Sabres.

Ullmark will patrol the home blue paint Tuesday against the Oilers, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Ullmark has given up at least three goals in all but one of his five appearances this season, going 2-3-0 with a 3.99 GAA and an .848 save percentage. The Swedish netminder will face an Oilers squad that has dropped three straight games while scoring seven goals during that span. Ullmark has a 3-3-1 record, .888 save percentage and 3.28 GAA over nine career appearances versus Edmonton.

Schmid stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Schmid had to step up in relief for an injured Adin Hill (lower body) for the second time this season. The former was outstanding against the undefeated Hurricanes and stopped all but one of the shots he faced en route to earning his fourth win of the campaign in an equal number of appearances. Schmid is expected to operate as the Golden Knights' No. 1 netminder if Hill is forced to miss time, and right now, he'd be slated to start against the Panthers on Saturday if Hill weren't able to return.

Thompson will be between the pipes at home versus Seattle on Tuesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Thompson enters Tuesday's tilt riding a three-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.66 GAA and a .928 save percentage. The 28-year-old backstop was set to receive the bulk of the workload to open the season for the Caps and has done nothing to open the door for Charlie Lindgren to get more opportunities. Still, with a back-to-back against the Blue Jackets and Senators on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Thompson and Lindgren figure to split the workload.

Andersen stopped 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:37 left in the third period.

The Hurricanes' winning streak got snapped Monday by the Golden Knights, and there was not much Andersen could've done to prevent that outcome against the hottest attack in the league. Despite the 3-1-0 record, Andersen isn't having the best start to the campaign. He owns a solid 2.46 GAA, but his .894 save percentage through four starts is poor. Andersen should continue to see a heavy workload in the coming games, but that might change once Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) is ready to return. Based on the recent results, it wouldn't be surprising if Brandon Bussi gets a start in either of the Hurricanes' final two games of the road trip as well. Carolina will play in Colorado on Thursday and Dallas on Saturday.

Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Vancouver.

To open the season, Silovs and Tristan Jarry have been going every other game, with that trend set to continue Tuesday. In his three appearances this year, the 24-year-old Silovs is 2-1-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Unless one of the two backstops can separate himself from the other, fantasy managers can likely expect Silovs and Jarry to continue dividing the workload.

Stolarz will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Stolarz will be making his sixth appearance in the crease in the Leafs' last seven contests, having posted a 2-2-1 record and a 2.79 GAA in his five outings. Until Joseph Woll (personal) rejoins the team, the 31-year-old Stolarz figures to continue to see the bulk of the workload while Cayden Primeau serves as the No. 2 option.

Wolf stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Wolf posted a save percentage above .920 in a single game for the first time this season, but not even that was enough to snap the Flames' losing streak. The Flames have lost six in a row, and Wolf has guarded the cage in five of those contests. Even though he took a step in the right direction in this outing against the Jets, Wolf's having a disappointing season in 2025-26. Through six starts, the 24-year-old owns a 1-5-0 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .867 save percentage -- both figures are career-worst marks for the four-year veteran.

Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 33 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Hellebuyck was beaten by Rasmus Andersson's slap shot in the second period, but that would be the only goal the star netminder would allow. The Jets picked up the slack on offense in the third period and scored two goals to extend their winning streak to five games. For Hellebuyck, it's now four wins in a row, a stretch where he's posted a 1.50 GAA with an impressive .947 save percentage.
