Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

The only goal that beat him was a Bo Horvat shortie under the blocker on a first-period 2-on-1. Vasilevskiy's Vezina-quality season continues with his third-straight win and sixth in his last seven starts. Two of those six wins have been by shutout. Overall, Vasilevskiy is 36-19-3 with a 2.16 GAA (third-best in the NHL) and a .922 save percentage (second-best).

Dostal will protect the home goal versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal will get the nod for a third game in a row. This is even after he took a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in his last outing Sunday, making 20 of 23 saves. The 24-year-old has a much easier matchup on the schedule Tuesday, as the Sharks have just 13 goals in their last six games.

Wolf will protect the road goal versus Utah on Tuesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf gets the nod in the second half of a back-to-back after Dan Vladar won 3-2 in the shootout Monday versus the Avalanche. The 23-year-old Wolf went 4-3-3 with a 2.95 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 10 games in March. Both Utah and Calgary face uphill battles for a playoff spot, but if Wolf can come away with a win, that will just about end any realistic chance of Utah playing in the postseason.

Talbot is expected to start in goal on the road versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Talbot is expected to start for the second game in a row. He'll likely continue to see a majority of the starts while Petr Mrazek (head) is out. Talbot was 1-5-0 with a 3.26 GAA and an .879 save percentage over six games in March, and he'll be facing the hottest team in the league Tuesday.

Reimer will start in goal on the road versus the Senators on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Reimer has taken over the Sabres' No. 1 job in goal late in the season. He's started five of the last seven games, going 4-1-0 with a 3.22 GAA and an .895 save percentage in that span. The Senators are 3-2-1 with 13 goals scored over their last six games and will be without captain Brady Tkachuk (upper body), so Reimer may be a decent streaming option for fantasy managers.

Saros will defend the crease against the Jackets on the road Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Saros has struggled this season, managing just 18 wins in 53 appearances this year while posting a career-worst 2.89 GAA. This will be the first time since the 2020-21 campaign that Saros fails to reach the 30-win mark. With the Preds eliminated from postseason contention, the club could decide to split the workload between Saros and Justus Annunen down the stretch in order to get a better look at the 25-year-old Annunen.

Georgiev will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash versus Anaheim, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Georgiev gave up 11 goals on 68 shots (.838 save percentage) in his last two outings. He'll face a Ducks squad that is generating just 2.71 goals per game this year, a significantly easier matchup compared to his last two opponents, the Maple Leafs and the Rangers.

Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Kuemper has allowed two goals or fewer in 10 straight appearances, posting a 7-2-1 record with a .947 save percentage. He has gone 25-10-7 with four shutouts, a 2.10 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 43 starts this season. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

Comrie (personal) was on the ice for the morning skate, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press, which indicates he'll be available to back up Connor Hellebuyck against the Kings on Tuesday.

Comrie was reported to have stayed in Winnipeg while awaiting the birth of his child, but he'll seemingly be available Tuesday after joining the team on the ice in Los Angeles. Chris Driedger was brought up from AHL Manitoba on Monday in the event that Comrie was unavailable in the short term, so Winnipeg had a backup plan in place behind Connor Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck is set to start in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Hellebuyck has turned aside 95 of 101 shots on goal (.941 save percentage) during his four-game winning streak. While it's been a stellar campaign for the Vezina Trophy favorite, Hellebuyck has struggled throughout his career against Los Angeles, holding a 6-8-1 record, 3.20 GAA and .902 save percentage. The Kings are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and are coming off an 8-1 rout of the Sharks on Sunday.
