NHL Player News

Dostal will defend the road net against Buffalo on Tuesday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Dostal has won five of his last six outings (5-0-1), stopping 163 of 177 shots. He has a 16-13-5 record with one shutout, a 2.92 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 10th in the league with 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25.

Luukkonen will protect the home goal versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Luukkonen has won five of his last seven outings, allowing 20 goals in that span despite posting an .895 save percentage. The Ducks rank last in the league with 2.52 goals per game, so Luukkonen is an excellent option for fantasy managers despite Tuesday's heavy 12-game slate.

Soderblom is set to start on the road Tuesday versus Utah, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Soderblom is mired in a four-game losing streak and has only one win in his last nine starts. The 25-year-old has conceded 13 goals on 107 shots over three appearances in February. Utah is tied for 22nd in the NHL with 2.79 goals per game in 2024-25, but the club now has its full complement of forwards -- the Hockey Club's top six has recently been bolstered by the return of Dylan Guenther and Logan Cooley to the lineup.

Daccord will guard the road goal against St. Louis on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Daccord is coming off a 26-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Florida. He has a 20-14-3 record with one shutout, a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 39 appearances this season. The Blues rank 27th in the league with 2.71 goals per game in 2024-25.

Knight will defend the road net against the Predators on Tuesday, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

Knight has won his last two outings, stopping 51 of 56 shots. He has posted a record of 11-8-1 with two shutouts, a 2.47 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. Nashville sits 30th in the league with 2.59 goals per game in 2024-25.

Swayman was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, indicating he'll guard the home cage versus the Maple Leafs.

Swayman is stuck in a two-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.44 GAA and an .896 save percentage. Despite the recent slump, the 26-year-old netminder needs just two more wins to reach the 20-win mark for the fourth straight year and could top the personal best of 25 he recorded last season.

Vejmelka will guard the home crease against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.

Vejmelka has a favorable matchup against a Blackhawks club that's generated 2.65 goals per game in 2024-25, the fifth-worst mark in the league. The 28-year-old netminder has generally been solid through four appearances in February, posting a 3-1-0 record, .895 save percentage and 2.79 GAA. Vejmelka's numbers during that stretch don't look as good due to a rough performance against the Hurricanes on Feb. 8 -- he conceded six goals on 37 shots in that contest. He allowed two goals or less in the other three matchups.

Talbot will be in the road blue paint Tuesday versus the Wild, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Talbot will have a chance to avenge Saturday's loss to Minnesota in which he allowed four goals on 39 shots. The 37-year-old has a 2-1-1 record, .895 save percentage and 2.97 GAA across four outings in February. Minnesota is tied for 18th in the NHL with 2.89 goals per game this season. Talbot is 8-8-2 in 18 career games against the Wild.

Binnington will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Kraken, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Binnington turned in a great performance in Sunday's 3-1 win over Colorado, stopping 28 of 29 shots on goal. Through four outings in February, the veteran netminder has a 3-0-1 record, .912 save percentage and 2.43 GAA. The Blues' playoff chances are looking slim, but Binnington's strong play of late is keeping the team in the mix. The Kraken rank 17th in the NHL with 2.90 goals per game this campaign.

Nedeljkovic left the ice first Tuesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road against the Flyers.

Nedeljkovic is coming off a nightmare outing against the Capitals on Saturday in which he gave up five goals on 14 shots before being chased from the crease. Prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, the 29-year-old backstop was putting up decent numbers, going 3-1-1 with a 1.56 GAA and one shutout in five appearances. If Nedeljkovic can put together a strong performance Tuesday, he figures to stay in the crease when the Pens face the Flyers again Thursday, this time back in Pittsburgh.
