NHL Player News

Soderblom is expected to defend the road net against Montreal on Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Soderblom is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over Boston, and he stopped 38 shots in a 4-2 victory over Montreal on Jan. 3. He has a 9-18-7 record with a 3.19 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. Montreal sits 17th in the league with 2.95 goals per game in 2024-25.

Tolopilo will tend the twine at home versus San Jose on Monday, Randip Janda of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Tolopilo will make his first NHL start thanks to the absence of Thatcher Demko (illness), who was ruled out for the rest of the season. In the minors, the 25-year-old Tolopilo is sporting an 18-14-2 record to go with a .901 save percentage. If he performs well Monday, it's possible the Canucks go back to Tolopilo in the season finale against Vegas on Wednesday.

Jarry saved 28 of 31 shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

Jarry's night was highlighted by a 12-minute rough patch where he allowed three goals across the late stages of the first period and into the second period. Outside that duration, Jarry looked solid, which aligned more with the performances he strung together on the three-game winning streak he brought into Sunday's contest. With the loss, the 29-year-old netminder now has a 16-12-6 record with a 3.12 GAA and an .892 save percentage. While Jarry will end the season with subpar stats, these totals were influenced by early-season struggles. Since he received the call-up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in early March, he has an 8-4-2 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 14 appearances. His play down the stretch makes him a decent option in all fantasy formats ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Korpisalo saved 23 of 24 shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Korpisalo tended a perfect game at even strength and allowed just one goal during a Pittsburgh power play. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder is up to an 11-10-3 record with a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. With the win, Korpisalo ended a six-game losing streak which has built up since his March 6 loss versus the Hurricanes. While he has struggled at times this season, Boston's backup netminder has maintained a solid GAA throughout his time in net this season. Korpisalo hasn't appeared in back-to-back games since January 20-23, meaning Korpisalo's 2024-25 campaign has likely come to a close with one game left on the Bruins' schedule.

Pickard will start Monday's home game against the Kings, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Pickard has picked up wins in five of his last six starts, going 5-1-0 with a 2.18 GAA and .917 save percentage during that time. His lone loss during that stretch came against the Kings, as he turned aside 26 of 28 shots (.929 save percentage) in a 3-0 defeat, but he'll attempt to pick up a win in Monday's rematch.

Villalta was the first goalie off following Monday's morning skate, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Nashville.

Villalta was called up from AHL Tucson in late March, but Monday's start will be his first since joining the NHL club. Karel Vejmelka's streak of 23 consecutive starts will come to an end, but he'll likely start Tuesday in St. Louis to close out the regular season. Villalta made 41 appearances for AHL Tucson this year, going 17-21-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Lindgren stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Lindgren returned to the starting role after not playing in the 7-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday, but he couldn't avoid another loss. The 31-year-old has struggled in terms of consistency of late, though, going 3-2-0 with a 3.48 GAA and an .861 save percentage over his last six appearances. It's unclear if Lindgren will start both remaining regular-season games given that the Capitals are locked into the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Greaves stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Greaves has started in each of the Blue Jackets' last three games and has been excellent, winning all three and allowing two or fewer goals each time. The 24-year-old isn't expected to maintain this pace over a prolonged stretch, but with only two games left in Columbus' regular-season schedule and a playoff berth at stake, Greaves might remain as the starter for Tuesday's contest at Philadelphia solely based on how good he's been of late. During that three-game stretch, Greaves has posted a 1.00 GAA and an excellent but unsustainable .968 save percentage.

Andersen stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Andersen has been alternating starts with Pyotr Kochetkov in recent weeks, and while the 35-year-old veteran was impressive in March, his play in April has been downright woeful. He's lost his past three starts, going 0-2-1 with a 4.23 GAA and a subpar .827 save percentage over that stretch. If the rotation between the pipes continues, then Andersen could start against the Senators on Thursday in the regular-season finale.

Woll stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Woll was solid between the pipes and got back to winning ways after dropping his previous start against the Panthers on April 8. Woll has made 10 appearances since the beginning of March, and while he's won six of those starts, his overall numbers aren't eye-popping by any means. He's gone 6-3-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage in that span. It's unclear if he'll see action in Toronto's final two games of the regular season, but it's likely he'll start at least one of those contests.
