Korpisalo made 31 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

The 30-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before Anthony Beauvillier spoiled it with a shorthanded tally. Korpisalo had to settle for his 10th win of the season and his first since Jan. 23, although he got only two starts in between those victories as Jeremy Swayman continues to draw a heavy workload in the crease for Boston. Korpisalo has been steady in his backup role, allowing more than three goals only once in his last six outings. Overall, he sports a 2.81 GAA and .895 save percentage.

Dobes made 23 saves on 25 shots in Saturday's 4-2 road win over the Sabres.

After a scoreless first frame, the Sabres got the puck past Dobes twice in 90 seconds to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead. However, the 23-year-old netminder shut them out the rest of the way to help pave the way for a Canadiens win. Overall, Dobes is up to a 6-2-1 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Saturday's win was his first since Jan. 19, when he completed a five-game winning streak. Even in contests that Dobes has lost, he has been effective against a high volume of shots. The Canadiens' backup netminder has some streaming appeal whenever he gets the starting nod.

Gibson stopped 18 of 24 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Gibson returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old netminder was fine through one period, but he gave up three goals in each of the last two frames, taking a loss to one of the NHL's weakest offenses. Gibson is now 9-10-2 with a 2.80 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 25 games this season. His name has been in the rumor mill for years as a trade candidate, but if the Ducks don't deal Gibson, it's possible he'll still end up losing playing time to Lukas Dostal down the stretch. The Ducks begin a two-game road trip Tuesday in Edmonton, followed by Wednesday's matchup in Vancouver -- barring any trades or injuries, Gibson and Dostal are expected to split those starts.

Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

The game was scoreless after one period, but Soderblom had a 3-2 lead to protect going into the third and received enough support to get the job done. He snapped his six-game losing streak, earning his first win since Jan. 28 versus the Lightning. Soderblom is up to 8-15-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 29 appearances this season. He's made great strides behind a bad team this season, but the Blackhawks traded Seth Jones for Spencer Knight on Saturday. As a result, Soderblom's status with Chicago has taken a significant hit. It's unclear if the team considers the 25-year-old a trade chip leading into Friday's deadline. If the Blackhawks close out the campaign with Petr Mrazek, Soderblom and Knight on the NHL roster, it could hurt the fantasy value for all three goalies.

Lankinen stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Lankinen didn't have much fortune Saturday. The Kraken tipped in three of the five goals against him, while the Canucks' skaters frequently hit the post. It's still Lankinen's worst performance since he surrendered six goals in a loss to the Jets on Jan. 14. The 29-year-old had given up just 11 goals over six outings since that game, so it's possible he was due for a stinker. He's at 20-10-7 with a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. He'll have some extra time to regroup after the loss -- the Canucks' next game is Wednesday at home versus the Ducks.

Daccord stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Daccord struggled early on but turned things around with a spotless third period while the Kraken pulled away with the lead. The 28-year-old has won three of his last four games, giving up 11 goals in that span. He's now 21-15-3 with a 2.56 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 appearances this season. The Kraken's next game is Tuesday at home versus the Wild. The team has a four-game week ahead, so Daccord can be reasonably expected to start three contests.

Vejmelka allowed three goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils.

Vejmelka's four-game winning streak ended after the Devils scored twice in the third period, which was the difference in the contest. It was still a decent performance for the 28-year-old netminder -- chalk it up to a bit of misfortune with Utah's offense going cold. Vejmelka is 16-16-4 with a 2.45 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. He is having the best of his four NHL campaigns, and if he continues to keep Utah competitive, he should be able to hang onto the No. 1 job as the team competes for a wild-card spot. Utah will have a little time off before a road back-to-back with games in Detroit on Thursday and Chicago on Friday.

Vanecek made 27 saves on 31 shots in a 5-3 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

The most memorable part of Vanecek's performance was the shoving match with Brady Tkachuk in the last few minutes of the first period. Vanecek has lost seven starts in a row (0-5-2) and hasn't won since Nov. 29 against Seattle. He has posted a 3-10-3 record with a 3.88 GAA and an .882 save percentage through 18 appearances this season, making him an untrustworthy fantasy option.

Daws allowed a goal on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.

Daws has won all three of his starts at the NHL level this season, and they've all come on the road over the last month. He's allowed just three goals on 88 shots over five appearances in total. Daws was able to limit the damage Saturday to a Mikhail Sergachev goal midway through the contest. Jake Allen hasn't been at his best lately, allowing Daws a brief chance to claim more playing time before Jacob Markstrom (knee) returns to action. The Devils are in action again Sunday in Vegas, which will likely be a start for Allen.

Rittich stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Rittich took his third straight loss, though the previous two had been past regulation time. The 32-year-old netminder has allowed eight goals during his skid, which could prompt the Kings to seek goaltending help ahead of the trade deadline. Rittich is a passable 12-12-2 on the season with a 2.66 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 27 appearances, his most in five years. The Kings wrap up their road trip in Chicago on Monday, which is likely to be a start for Darcy Kuemper, but they host the Blues twice more over the next week (Wednesday and Saturday).
