Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Between pipes against Chicago
Wedgewood will operate as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against Chicago, Aarif Deen of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.
Wedgewood has started in just one of Colorado's last six games, but he turned aside 32 of 33 shots en route to the win during his home start against Pittsburgh on March 4. He'll tend the twine in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday, while Mackenzie Blackwood will likely start in Minnesota on Tuesday.

Ville Husso G | ANA
Ducks' Ville Husso: Sent down by Anaheim
Husso was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.
Husso was recalled by the Ducks on Sunday to serve as the backup during the team's home game against the Islanders. However, he'll head back to the minors a day later, which suggests that John Gibson (lower body) could be available for Tuesday's home matchup against Washington.

Stuart Skinner G | PIT
Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Tending twine Monday
Skinner will guard the visiting net in Buffalo on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Skinner has won his last two starts after struggling through the month of February, going 1-4-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .880 save percentage in that month. Skinner is 22-15-4 with a 2.87 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 43 appearances this season. The Sabres are generating 3.13 goals per game in 2024-25, 12th in the NHL.

Marc-Andre Fleury G | PIT
Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Loses to former team
Fleury posted 19 saves on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins. The third goal was an empty-netter
Fleury had a strong outing against his former team, but the Wild failed to provide him with much goal support. He posted a clean first period before the Penguins put two goals past Fleury in the final two periods. The 40-year-old netminder has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 22 games this season. While Fleury is seeing less action for Minnesota due to his age and role behind Filip Gustavsson, he has still been a solid option in fantasy when his name has been called. Fleury is good for a spot start in all formats but is unlikely to see consistent ice time moving forward.

Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Posts win in NHL return
Jarry stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win against Minnesota.
Jarry had a strong return to the NHL after spending nearly two months with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He kept Pittsburgh's net spotless until the 14:54 mark in the third period when Ryan Hartman scored the Wild's lone goal of the game. The 29-year-old Jarry now has a 9-8-4 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .888 save percentage. Sunday's win was Jarry's first in the NHL since Dec. 23 and his second start this season where he allowed one goal or less. While Alex Nedeljkovic has been Pittsburgh's top netminder for the majority of the season, Jarry's strong return could lead to an even split in goaltending opportunities for the time being. Jarry still has a bit more to prove before becoming a trustworthy option for lineups in fantasy, but Sunday's showcase is an encouraging sign.
