  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Stops 28 shots in win

    Bobrovsky stopped 28 of 29 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

    Bobrovsky kept Florida's net tidy until the third period when Brayden Point scored Tampa's lone goal. The 36-year-old Bobrovsky is up to a 26-13-2 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Florida's top netminder is on a three-game winning streak and has allowed just four goals in that span. He is tied for fourth in the league with 26 wins. With the Panthers trading away goaltender Spencer Knight and acquiring Seth Jones on the blue line, Bobrovsky has an elite situation in Florida to produce in fantasy. If he can continue this momentum, he should challenge to finish as a top-5 fantasy goaltender this season.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Falls to Caps in shootout

    Ullmark stopped 37 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

    Washington surged out to a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but Ullmark rallied and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback, and eventually earn a point. The veteran goalie has just one win in six starts since returning in early February from a back issue, going 1-4-1 with a 4.00 GAA and an .898 save percentage.

  • Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Between pipes against Tampa

    Merzlikins will tend the twine on the road versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Merzlikins has bounced back from a disappointing start to February, which saw him lose four straight, with a three-game winning streak. With no back-to-backs in the short-term schedule, the 30-year-old backstop figures to see plenty of starts down the stretch, especially with the Jackets currently in a playoff spot.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Gets starting nod Tuesday

    Ersson will be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    Ersson is undefeated in regulation over his last five outings, going 3-0-2 with a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage -- though that does include his most recent outing in which he gave up five goals on just 25 shots in an overtime loss. At this point, it seems the Flyers will continue to primarily utilize Ersson in the blue paint, with Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov limited to back-to-backs.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Strong showing in team debut

    Knight stopped 41 of 42 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

    The Blackhawks acquired Knight on Saturday as part of the deal that sent Seth Jones to the Panthers, and the 23-year-old goaltender was magnificent in his first game protecting Chicago's crease. He posted a 12-8-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 23 appearances with the Panthers this season, and there's no question this was an outstanding debut for him. That said, it's unclear if he'll take over the No. 1 starting role from Petr Mrazek.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Subpar showing Monday

    Kuemper stopped 14 of 18 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 1:30 left in the game.

    Kuemper didn't have his best outing Monday and was tagged with a second straight loss. However, and perhaps even more worrisome, is the fact that he posted a save percentage below the .810 mark for the second game in a row. Kuemper will aim to bounce back when the Kings take on the Blues on Wednesday, though it's uncertain if he'll start based on his recent performances.

  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Tagged with loss Monday

    Stolarz stopped 20 of 22 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.

    Stolarz looked on his way to posting a shutout, but he gave up two third-period goals and later conceded two more goals (on four shots) during the shootout. As a result, Stolarz found himself on the losing end of a start for the first time since Dec. 6. He'd won each of his previous four starts since his Feb. 6 return from a knee injury. The 31-year-old netminder is 13-5-3 with a 2.20 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 22 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Sharks' Alexandar Georgiev: Earns win following shootout

    Georgiev stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

    Georgiev gave up two goals in the second period, though both came in the power play, but he was excellent the rest of the way. The win is no small feat for the 29-year-old, as this was his first victory since Jan. 14, when he stopped 25 of 28 shots in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings. Between those wins, Georgiev went 0-6-1 with a 4.34 GAA and an .870 save percentage across eight appearances (seven starts).

  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Drawing home start

    Stolarz will be between the home pipes Monday against the Sharks, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

    Stolarz was excellent over four appearances in February, going 4-0-0 with a .924 save percentage and a 2.47 GAA. The New Jersey native has a favorable matchup against a San Jose club that's generated 2.57 goals per game this season, the fourth-worst mark in the league. Stolarz has a stellar 10-1-0 record, .928 save percentage and 2.47 GAA across 13 career appearances against the Sharks.

    Sabres' James Reimer: Facing Montreal

    Reimer is set to start on the road against the Canadiens on Monday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

    Reimer conceded two goals on 29 shots in his last start in a loss to Carolina on Thursday. The 36-year-old has a 2-5-1 record, .911 save percentage and 2.53 GAA across 10 appearances with the Sabres this season after a brief stint with the Ducks between waiver claims. Montreal sits 15th in the NHL with 2.97 goals per game.
