  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: First off ice Monday

    Ullmark is slated to patrol the home crease versus Detroit on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Ullmark is 3-0-1 in his last four games despite allowing 13 goals on 121 shots (.893 save percentage). Overall, the 31-year-old netminder is 15-11-3 with three shutouts, a 2.73 GAA and a .908 save percentage. He has a huge matchup against the Red Wings, who trail the Senators by three points in the chase for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Detroit is generating 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25, tied for 19th in the NHL.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Allows three goals in loss

    Daccord stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals. The fourth goal was an empty-netter

    Daccord kept Seattle's net tidy through the first period before allowing three goals in the final two frames, including two in the first three minutes of the second period. The 28-year-old goaltender now has a 21-18-3 record with a .910 save percentage and a 2.65 GAA. Daccord has lost four of his last five appearances as Seattle has struggled as a team overall. The Kraken have relied on Daccord in net heavily this season, which gives him good value in fantasy due to the frequency of his starts, though the results have not been good lately. Daccord's next opportunity to take the ice is Wednesday at home against the Canadiens.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Woeful outing Sunday

    Quick stopped 21 of 28 shots in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Quick had a woeful showing Sunday, and perhaps the lone reason why he wasn't lifted earlier was because Igor Shesterkin needed a break from the heavy workload he's endured of late. Quick has gone 3-1-0 with a 3.23 GAA and an .893 save percentage over his last five outings. The Rangers have a back-to-back next weekend, so that may be the next time we'll see Quick out there again.

  • Blue Jackets' Daniil Tarasov: Earns third consecutive win

    Tarasov stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

    Tarasov is firmly entrenched as the backup to Elvis Merzlikins, but there's no question he's showing promise every time he's tasked with protecting the Blue Jackets' crease. Tarasov has gone 3-0-0 with a 2.32 GAA and a .929 save percentage over his last three appearances, but it's worth noting those three games have come in a span between Jan. 31 and March 9.

  • Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Stops 30 shots in win

    Lindgren saved 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Despite allowing two of the first four goals of the game, Lindgren tended a clean third period to help guide the Capitals to Sunday's win. The 31-year-old netminder is up to a 15-10-3 record with a .898 save percentage and a 2.64 GAA over 29 games. Lindgren has won four of his last five outings and has benefited from the Caps' success this season. Despite playing behind Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, Lindgren is a great streaming option in all formats to deploy for a spot start. The Capitals play three games this week so Lindgren is likely to defend the crease in one of those outings.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Earns win Sunday

    Andersen stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg.

    Andersen has been alternating starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, but the 35-year-old veteran is making a strong case to see action on a more regular basis. Aside from winning his last two starts, Andersen has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in four of his last five appearances. Andersen has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.24 GAA and a .908 save percentage over that five-game stretch. However, Kochetkov has been almost just as good, going 4-1-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .904 save percentage over his previous five appearances.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Gives up three goals in loss

    Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 2:02 left in the third period.

    Hellebuyck has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL this season, but he's been trending in the wrong direction of late, with only one win across his previous four starts, going 1-2-1 over that span. However, his peripheral stats remain excellent even in games when he isn't winning, as evidenced by his 1.99 GAA and his .927 save percentage over that four-game span. The star netminder will aim to bounce back in his next start, though the Jets' upcoming two opponents aren't easy by any means -- they'll take on the Rangers on Tuesday and will face the Stars on Friday.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Loses in return from injury

    Hogberg stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    The empty-netter came in the first half of the third period, as head coach Patrick Roy was aggressive in pulling Hogberg with the Islanders down three goals. This was Hogberg's first action since Jan. 25 versus the Hurricanes, when he sustained an upper-body injury that kept him out for 14 games. The 30-year-old netminder is at 2-3-0 with a 1.70 GAA and a .938 save percentage over eight appearances. Now that he's healthy, he can lighten the load of Ilya Sorokin, but don't expect Hogberg to see much action as long as the Islanders are mathematically still in the playoff race. They are four points adrift of a wild-card spot with five teams to pass to claim it, so the odds are not in their favor. The Islanders' road trip through California ends with Tuesday's game in Los Angeles.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Allows one goal in win

    Dostal stopped 31 of 32 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

    Dostal had a shutout bid going deep into the third period, but Tony DeAngelo spoiled it with 4:50 left in regulation. That goal was too late to impact the outcome, as Dostal bounced back from consecutive losses to get back in the win column with a strong performance. The 24-year-old netminder improved to 19-16-5 with a 2.83 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 40 appearances this season. He's poised to reach the 20-win mark for the first time in his career, and Dostal will likely continue to handle the No. 1 job as long as John Gibson (lower body) is out. The Ducks have a tough matchup next on the schedule as they host the Capitals on Tuesday in the first half of a back-to-back.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Falters in Sunday's loss

    Lankinen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Lankinen had won three of his last four outings, but he didn't put in a great performance against a tough opponent. The Stars scored twice in the second period, and Jason Robertson added the third goal on Lankinen's line midway through the third to squash any hope of a Vancouver comeback. For the season, Lankinen slipped to 22-11-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 40 games. The Canucks have a back-to-back up next with a home game Tuesday versus the Canadiens followed by a trip to Calgary on Wednesday. It's one of two back-to-back sets over the next week, so Lankinen and Arturs Silovs appear poised to split the workload in that span, as it's unlikely Thatcher Demko (lower body) will be cleared to play during that stretch.
