  • Predators' Matt Murray: Earns shutout for Milwaukee

    Murray posted a 32-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 4-0 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.

    Murray collected his third shutout of the season and the 12th of his AHL career. The strong performance improved his record to 17-17-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 37 appearances. Murray has won his last three outings and remains next in line if the Predators need goaltending depth in the NHL.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Set to start versus Pens

    Andersen is slated to tend the twine at home against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

    Andersen has split the last eight starts with Brandon Bussi. Andersen has a 3-1-0 record and 2.73 GAA during that span. Overall, the veteran netminder has managed just 11 victories in 27 games this season while sporting a career-worst 3.14 GAA.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Expected to face Colorado

    Oettinger is expected to start on the road against Colorado on Wednesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Oettinger will be looking for a better result after stopping 25 of 29 shots through overtime in a 5-4 shootout loss to Colorado on March 6. The 27-year-old netminder has done well since that loss, going 3-0-0 while stopping 78 of 83 shots (.940 save percentage), so he has momentum on his side going into Wednesday's game. Oettinger is 28-10-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 43 appearances in 2025-26.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting against Calgary

    Hofer will start Wednesday's road game against Calgary.

    Hofer has been strong since the Olympic break, going 5-1-0 with a 1.64 GAA and .948 save percentage over his last six starts. He started on the road against Calgary on Oct. 11, allowing two goals on 29 shots (.931 save percentage) in a 4-2 victory.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Guarding cage Wednesday

    Dostal is expected to start at home against the Flyers on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

    Dostal's recent play hasn't inspired a lot of confidence, but he's still getting results with five wins in his last seven outings. Even though Dostal has won eight of his previous 10 starts, he owns a 3.44 GAA and a subpar .874 save percentage over that span. Philadelphia is 31-23-12 on the season and generates 2.77 goals per game, which ranks 26th in the NHL. The Flyers' anemic offense gives Dostal a favorable matchup to continue racking up wins despite his inflated ratios.

  • Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Expected to start Wednesday

    Markstrom is slated to start on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

    Markstrom has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five outings. He's 20-16-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 38 appearances this campaign. The Rangers enjoyed a four-game winning streak in which they outscored adversaries 20-7, but New York saw that run come to an end with a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Monday.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Slated to start Wednesday

    Wedgewood is expected to start at home against Dallas on Wednesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

    Wedgewood is getting an opportunity to bounce back after surrendering three goals on just five shots in a 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday. He has a 25-5-5 record, 2.33 GAA and .915 save percentage in 37 outings this season. Dallas is a challenging adversary that ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.45 this season.

  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Guarding cage Wednesday

    Cooley will be between the pipes at home versus the Blues on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Cooley is 0-3-1 in his last five outings, posting a 3.82 GAA and .882 save percentage along the way. Still, with the Flames out of playoff contention, he will probably continue to see his fair share of the starts behind Dustin Wolf down the stretch.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Slated to face Carolina

    Skinner is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Wednesday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

    Skinner has allowed at least three goals in each of his past three outings, totaling 10 goals on 89 shots (.888 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 20-13-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 41 outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this campaign. Carolina has been a mixed bag recently, going 2-3-0 while averaging 2.80 goals per game over its past five matches.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Comes up short in OT

    Knight made 33 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Minnesota grabbed a 3-1 lead in the first period, but Knight stood tall over the next 40 minutes to give Chicago a chance to tie it up. There wasn't much the 24-year-old netminder could do on Mats Zuccarello's one-timer from the slot in overtime. Knight has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-4-2 over that stretch with a 2.96 GAA and .900 save percentage.
