Georgiev stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Georgiev won for the fourth time in eight outings in March, though this was arguably his best outing. He's allowed two or fewer goals in all four of those wins, but his lack of game-to-game consistency continues to plague his overall numbers. Georgiev has a 14-23-1 record with a 3.57 GAA and an .876 save percentage through 42 appearances between San Jose and Colorado this season. The Sharks have four days off before hosting the Maple Leafs. Georgiev made 25 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on March 3.

Daccord gave up four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Daccord didn't give up the decisive tally, an empty-netter by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but lost for the fifth time over eight outings in March. The 28-year-old Daccord is down to 23-19-4 on the year, and he's at a 2.70 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 48 appearances. The Kraken's next game is Tuesday in Calgary. Daccord has recently been starting two of every three games, but it's unclear if that pattern will hold heading into a three-game week for Seattle.

Woll made 27 saves on 31 shots in a 5-2 loss to Nashville on Saturday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

The Leafs got off to a hot start and went up 2-0 early, but the Predators rallied with five unanswered goals to claim the win. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Woll. Toronto remains tied with the Panthers for first place in the Atlantic Division with 87 points. Woll and Anthony Stolarz will probably continue to share time in the crease down the stretch, and Woll should be started by fantasy managers when it's his turn to play.

Skinner stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

The Oilers were missing Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stepped up with a hat trick to lead the charge. Skinner wasn't great between the pipes, but he had enough support to get the win, his fourth in his last seven outings. He's allowed four or more goals five times in 11 appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 26-year-old netminder improved to 24-17-4 with a 2.87 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 48 appearances. The Oilers are off until Wednesday, when they begin a back-to-back set with a home game versus the Stars, followed by Thursday's rematch with these Kraken in Seattle. Expect Skinner and Calvin Pickard to split those starts.

Saros made 24 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Saros' first period was a touch rough as the Leafs went up 2-0 by the 13:05 mark, and it looked like they might control the match, but the Predators roared back in the second and third with five unanswered goals. Saros has struggled this season with a 17-27-6 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage. Still, he has four wins in his last six outings and could be heating up during the fantasy playoffs.

Talbot allowed five goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Talbot's losing streak reached five games, and he's allowed 20 goals in that span. The 37-year-old netminder is down to 17-16-3 with a 3.02 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 38 appearances this season. This outing won't help Talbot's efforts to regain some playing time back from Petr Mrazek, and Alex Lyon is also on the NHL roster, though he hasn't played since March 6 versus Utah. The Red Wings' next game is on the road versus Utah on Monday, the first half of a back-to-back set that wraps up in Colorado on Tuesday.

Hill stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Hill won for the fifth time in seven outings in March. The Red Wings got a goal past him in each period, two of which came on the power play, but the Golden Knights' offense was even stronger to support Hill in this win. He's up to 26-11-5 on the year with a 2.51 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 42 appearances. Ilya Samsonov will start Sunday versus the Lightning, but Hill is likely to make his next start Tuesday at Minnesota.

Allen gave up three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Allen allowed all three goals in a span of 4:39 during the second period, and it was too much for the Devils to overcome. This was Allen's first loss since Feb. 26 -- he had given up a total of four goals on 103 shots over his previous three wins, a stretch that has earned him a 50-50 split of playing time with Jacob Markstrom. For the season, Allen is at 12-14-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 27 appearances. If the goalie rotation holds, Markstrom would face one of his former teams, the Canucks, on Monday, while Allen is in line for a road start versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Halverson made 19 saves in a 6-4 loss to Utah on Saturday. He allowed five goals.

It was his first NHL start, and the loss wasn't on him. As Bolts coach Jon Cooper said in the post-game scrum, Halverson's teammates simply didn't play well enough in front of their netminder, especially against a gritty team that was hungry to claw its way to a wild-card spot. Halverson will be with the Bolts until Jonas Johansson (personal) returns to the squad. He may not get another start, but at least he lived out his dream. Halverson had made one appearance in relief several seasons ago, but he'd never seen his name in the starting lineup until Saturday.

Vejmelka made 22 saves in an 6-4 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Vejmelka has won two straight games, and he's 9-3-2 in his last 14 appearances (13 starts). Overall, he's elevated his season stat line to a 21-18-6 record, 2.53 GAA and .907 save percentage. Those are the best ratios of Vejmelka's NHL career. Fantasy managers need to ride the hottest hand at this time of the year, and Vejmelka is surging.
