  • Petr Mrazek G | ANA

    Red Wings' Petr Mrazek: Tends shutout Sunday

    Mrazek stopped all 18 shots on goal in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win against the Golden Knights.

    Despite potential fatigue from starting the previous two games, Mrazek's third outing in a row was his first shutout of the season. Overall, he has a 12-20-2 record with a 3.33 GAA and a .892 save percentage. Sunday's shutout is an encouraging sign for Mrazek as he only had one shutout across 95 appearances with the Blackhawks over the previous two years. However, Mrazek has struggled for the majority of this season and is a difficult option to trust in fantasy. Mrazek is also one of three goaltenders on Detroit's roster and after playing the past three games, it is likely either Cam Talbot or Alex Lyon will start seeing action again soon.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Chased after two periods

    Dostal stopped nine of 14 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

    Dostal lasted two periods before Ville Husso was brought in to do some mop-up duty against one of his former teams. The 24-year-old Dostal has seen a heavy workload in the absence of John Gibson (lower body), and it may be wearing on the Czech netminder. Dostal is 3-4-0 with 19 goals allowed on 188 shots (.899 save percentage) over seven games in March. For the season, he's at a 20-18-5 record with a 2.94 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 43 appearances. The Ducks' road trip continues Tuesday in Dallas, which is a matchup Dostal's fantasy managers may want to avoid, though he did win a 4-2 game with a 34-save effort in Dallas on Nov. 18.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Well-supported in win

    Binnington stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

    Binnington didn't have to be in top form Sunday, as the Blues racked up five goals through two periods to give him ample support. The 31-year-old has won four of his six outings in March, though he's at an .884 save percentage for the month by allowing 15 goals on 129 shots. For the season, he's up to 21-21-4 with a 2.81 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 47 appearances. The Blues will visit the Predators on Tuesday.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Falls short versus Oilers

    Shesterkin stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

    Shesterkin started both of the Rangers' games over the weekend, and while he earned a shutout over the Blue Jackets on Saturday, the Oilers proved to be a bigger challenge. A pair of third-period goals, scored by Viktor Arvidsson and Connor McDavid, were the difference. Shesterkin slipped to 23-23-4 with a 2.80 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 50 appearances. Those ratios are better in March -- he's at a 1.99 GAA and .922 save percentage over his last seven games as he tries to keep the Rangers in the playoff race.

  • Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Wins in New York

    Skinner stopped 21 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Skinner put an end to a two-game skid after losing to the Sabres and Devils earlier in the road trip. The 26-year-old limited the damage to a Will Cuylle goal on a broken play at the net front in the second period. Skinner improved to 23-17-4 with a 2.84 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 46 outings this season. The Oilers open a four-game homestand Tuesday versus Utah.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Picks up overtime loss

    Oettinger saved 32 of 36 shots on net in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Oettinger allowed a power-play goal in the first period to Martin Necas before conceding two more even-strength tallies in the second period. Oettinger then surrendered Cale Makar's game-winner just 34 seconds into the extra period. With the loss, Oettinger now holds a 30-15-3 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .907 save percentage. The 26-year-old goaltender has lost his last three starts which have been against the Oilers, Jets and Avalanche. With a few easier matchups on the horizon, Oettinger should maintain good value in the fantasy playoffs. His next opportunity to defend the crease is Tuesday against Anaheim.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Extends winning streak

    Wedgewood stopped 19 of 22 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win against the Stars.

    Wedgewood surrendered an early goal to Jason Robertson before allowing two goals in 20 seconds during the third period. Outside that stretch, Wedgewood tended a clean second period and looked strong overall. The 32-year-old netminder is up to a 10-6-1 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He currently has a four-game winning streak where he has allowed just six goals and has a .939 save percentage. Wedgewood has started the past two games for Colorado and is playing some of his best hockey down the stretch in fantasy. His best usage in fantasy is as a spot starter, but he is developing steady value in deeper leagues.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Guarding goal Monday

    Woll will be between the pipes in Monday's home game versus Calgary, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

    Woll has banked wins in three of his last four outings (3-1-0) despite permitting 13 goals on 101 shots. He has a 22-12-0 record with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Calgary ranks 32nd in the league with 2.55 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: First goalie off

    Kuemper was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Wild.

    Kuemper is riding a four-game winning streak and has posted shutouts in each of his last two outings. During his four-game hot stretch, he's logged a 0.49 GAA and .980 save percentage, and he'll be between the pipes for a fourth consecutive matchup Monday. His lone start against the Wild this year came at home Dec. 7, and he turned aside 22 of 23 shots (.957 save percentage) en route to the win.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Starting Tuesday

    Montembeault will protect the home net against Ottawa on Tuesday.

    Montembeault has been victorious in six of his last seven outings (6-0-1), allowing only 14 goals on 194 shots. He has a 24-21-4 record with four shutouts, a 2.83 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 49 appearances this season. Ottawa sits 17th in the league with 2.94 goals per game, and the team is riding a six-game winning streak.
