  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Set to start in Montreal

    Ullmark will be between the road pipes Tuesday in Montreal, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

    Ullmark has been stellar recently, winning each of his last five appearances while turning aside 128 of 140 shots on goal during the streak. The Swedish netminder lost all four of his outings in February, but he's stepped up his game at a critical point in the season for the Sens, posting a 6-0-1 record, .913 save percentage and 2.69 GAA over seven contests in March. Ullmark is 3-3-0 against the Canadiens in his career.

    Red Wings' Petr Mrazek: Tough task Tuesday

    Mrazek will patrol the road crease against the Capitals on Tuesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Mrazek posted an 18-save shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over Vegas. Since being acquired in a trade from Chicago, the veteran netminder is 2-1-0 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.01 GAA across three contests. He has a tough assignment Tuesday against a Washington club that has generated 3.63 goals per game this season, the best mark in the NHL.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Facing Seattle

    Knight will draw the home start Tuesday against the Kraken, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

    Knight has dropped back-to-back games after winning his first two outings with the Blackhawks since being acquired in a trade from the Panthers. He's posted a solid .928 save percentage and a 2.24 GAA with Chicago so far. Seattle is tied for 14th in the NHL in 2024-25 with 2.97 goals per game this season.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Concedes two goals in win

    Luukkonen saved 17 of 19 shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win against Boston.

    Outside of the two goals Boston scored in the first period, Luukkonen kept Buffalo's net clean across the final 50 minutes of action Monday. With the overtime win, the 26-year-old netminder has a 23-21-4 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 50 appearances this season. Luukkonen's primary value in fantasy rests in his heavy usage for Buffalo, as he has appeared in all but five games since the calendar flipped to 2025. While he has struggled over the course of this year, Luukkonen has won three of his last four starts and is trending in the right direction. His next opportunity to take the ice is Thursday against Utah.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Leaves ice first

    Shesterkin was the first goalie to exit the ice ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Calgary, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll guard the cage.

    Shesterkin will make his 12th appearance in the Rangers' last 14 contests, having gone 5-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and two shutouts in his previous 11 outings. With the Rangers trying to hold on to a playoff spot, they likely will continue to give Shesterkin a heavy workload, leaving Jonathan Quick primarily as an option in back-to-backs.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Bounces back with strong showing

    Gustavsson stopped 28 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    Gustavsson was beaten by Adrian Kempe on the power play, but other than that, he looked impressive between the pipes and got back to winning ways after dropping his previous two outings. Gustavsson has featured in nine of Minnesota's 12 games since the 4 Nations break, going 4-4-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .913 save percentage, so he's certainly played better than his record indicates.

  • Capitals' Logan Thompson: Exits ice first

    Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday and will be between the pipes at home versus the Red Wings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Thompson will make consecutive starts for the first time since March 1 and 3. In his last three outings, the 28-year-old netminder went 3-0-0 despite an .897 save percentage. Even with Thompson going again Tuesday, fantasy players should continue to see plenty of Charlie Lindgren down the stretch.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: In goal Tuesday

    Jarry will get the starting nod at home versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

    Jarry is riding a four-game winning streak since being called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting a 2.24 GAA and a .930 save percentage along the way. With his current run of form, Jarry has improved his numbers to 12-8-4 with a 3.13 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Barring a dramatic shift in the Penguins' plans, Jarry looks poised to see the bulk of the workload the rest of the way.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Tagged with loss Monday

    Kuemper stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to Minnesota. The third goal was an empty-netter in the final minutes of the third period.

    Kuemper saw the end of his four-game winning streak with this defeat, though it wasn't a woeful outing or anything like that. Kuemper has been on a roll of late and has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in his past six appearances, which translates to a 4-1-1 record with an excellent 0.99 GAA and a .960 save percentage over that stretch.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Shipped back to minors

    Greaves was returned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

    Greaves suited up in Monday's clash with the Devils, giving up two goals on 20 shots (.900 save percentage) in a losing effort. Overall, the 23-year-old backstop is 2-2-2 with a 2.83 GAA in six NHL outings this season. The decision to return Greaves to the minors likely points to Elvis Merzlikins rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's clash with Florida.
