  • Joseph Woll G | PHI

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Earns win Sunday

    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.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Tending twine Monday

    Saros will patrol the home crease against Utah on Monday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

    Saros is coming off a 39-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah. He has a 19-30-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.96 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 56 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 20th in the league with 2.90 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Cam Talbot G | CLB

    Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Drawing start against Dallas

    Talbot will start Monday's home game against Dallas, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Talbot has been cold in recent weeks, going 3-8-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .897 save percentage over his last 12 appearances. He'll face a tough test Monday, as the Stars rank third in the league with 3.38 goals per game. Head coach Todd McLellan said Monday that Petr Mrazek will start in one of the Red Wings' final two games of the regular season, so it's possible that Talbot could be making his final start of the year Monday.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Starting against Chicago

    Montembeault will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against Chicago, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Montembeault's five-game winning streak came to an end Friday against Ottawa, as he allowed four goals on 33 shots (.879 save percentage). However, he should have a more favorable matchup Monday, as the Blackhawks are averaging just 2.71 goals per game this season, which is the sixth-worst mark in the NHL.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: First goalie off Monday

    Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Rangers.

    Bobrovsky has given up just one goal in each of his last two contests, posting a 2-0-0 record and .951 save percentage. With the veteran backstop getting the nod Monday, fantasy managers can likely expect to see Vitek Vanecek in the crease for the second game of a back-to-back on the road versus the Lightning on Tuesday, but it will be all Bobrovsky when the playoffs start.

  • Capitals' Hunter Shepard: Dropped down to minors

    Shepard was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

    Shepard will trade places with Clay Stevenson, who was promoted to the NHL roster in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old Shepard has made just one NHL appearance this year, in which he gave up seven goals on 26 shots (.731 save percentage) in a loss to Columbus on Saturday.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Loses it late Sunday

    Dostal stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    The Avalanche deployed a preseason-esque lineup, and Dostal shut them out for 50 minutes. They went on to score three times in a span of 7:46 against Dostal before icing it with an empty-netter. There have been some setbacks for the Ducks this year, but that's a tough loss to swallow, given the circumstances. Dostal has lost three of his last four games while allowing 17 goals in that span. He's now at a 23-23-6 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 53 outings. The Ducks conclude their season with a road back-to-back against the Wild on Tuesday and the Jets on Wednesday. If John Gibson (lower body) doesn't travel, Dostal and Ville Husso will likely split those starts.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Backstops comeback win

    Wedgewood stopped 18 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    For the fourth game in a row, Wedgewood limited an opponent to two goals. He's gone 3-0-1 in that span, ending the regular season on a positive note. Overall, he's 14-6-2 with a 2.32 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 24 appearances between the Avalanche and the Predators this season. The Avalanche are locked into a first-round series versus the Stars, but Wedgewood is unlikely to see any playing time against his former team unless Mackenzie Blackwood gets hurt or plays poorly.

  • Sharks' Georgi Romanov: Loses again versus Flames

    Romanov stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Romanov is now 0-6-0 through eight outings this season, including two losses to the Flames. The 25-year-old netminder simply hasn't gotten enough goal support -- the Sharks have scored no more than two goals in any of his eight appearances this season. He's added a 3.89 GAA and an .877 save percentage in 2024-25. Romanov is getting a long look late in the campaign, likely to evaluate if he'll be an option to serve as the Sharks' backup next season, potentially behind Yaroslav Askarov should the team let Alexandar Georgiev walk in free agency.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Secures another win

    Wolf stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

    The game was tied at 2-2 through two periods, but the Flames' offense pulled away in the third, giving Wolf his fourth win in six starts. He's 4-0-2 in that stretch, but the Flames can no longer afford losses of any kind. The 23-year-old netminder improved to 28-16-8 with a 2.62 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 52 outings. He's generally had a successful first full NHL season, but it's looking likely the Flames will need Wolf to achieve his second four-game winning streak to make the playoffs. Their next game is a tough one Tuesday at home versus the Golden Knights, a team that bested him in overtime April 5 by a 3-2 score.
