Saros will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday, according to Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.

Saros has lost his last three outings (0-3-0), surrendering nine goals on 91 shots. He has posted a record of 11-21-6 with four shutouts, a 2.84 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 39 appearances this season. Ottawa has won four straight games, scoring 16 goals, and earned a 3-1 victory over Nashville on Dec. 7. Saros stopped 27 of 30 shots in that defeat.

Hill made 24 saves on 28 shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 road loss to the Rangers.

Hill tended a clean first period before the Rangers scored four of the last five goals in the contest. Sunday's loss is his third in regulation over his last six games, a span in which he is 1-3-2. The 28-year-old now has a 19-10-4 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Hill is in a strong position with Vegas in contention to win the Pacific. He is still a solid play in any fantasy format, but his recent struggles are noteworthy moving forward. His next chance to defend the crease will be in a road game Tuesday against the Islanders.

Quick stopped 34 of 36 shots in Sunday's 4-2 home win over the Golden Knights.

Despite allowing two of the first three goals of the contest, the NHL veteran tended a clean final period while New York's offense came alive. Sunday's win was Quick's 400th career victory, making him the first U.S.-born goalie to reach that milestone. He is up to a 7-5-2 record with a 3.04 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 17 appearances. Quick's current role with the Rangers is to give Igor Shesterkin a breather. If the latter continues to struggle, however, the 39-year-old netminder could be called upon more often to make a start. When he guards the crease, Quick is a solid option worth streaming in deeper leagues.

Daccord stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

The Flames scored three times in the first period, including twice on the power play, and that was too much for the Kraken to overcome. Daccord still put in a solid showing in holding the fort to make a comeback effort possible, but it fell short. Daccord is now 18-13-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 35 appearances. The Kraken host the surging Red Wings on Tuesday, so Daccord may be a risky fantasy play for that game, as well as Thursday's matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Vladar stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Vladar improved to 6-1-1 against the Kraken in his career, riding the Flames' three-goal first period to the win. The Kraken made it interesting by tallying twice over the final two frames, but Vladar held firm when necessary. He ended his six-game losing skid, which dated back to Dec. 12. Vladar is now 7-10-5 with a 3.07 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 22 starts this season. He split time early in the season with Dustin Wolf, but Vladar has been firmly in the backup role since the calendar flipped to 2025. That said, neither goalie is a particularly strong option for the Flames' next two games, which are both at home, versus the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and the Avalanche on Thursday.

Lankinen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

It was not a sharp performance for Lankinen, who allowed two goals to Alex DeBrincat, including the game-winner, and one to Ben Chiarot. In January, Lankinen went 4-2-2, allowing two or fewer goals in six of those contests, though he also faced fewer than 30 shots on six occasions, leading to an .898 save percentage. He's generally been decent this season with an 18-8-7 record, a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 33 appearances. Lankinen's play has pushed Thatcher Demko, who has struggled to get up to speed since returning from a knee injury. The Canucks will want Demko to seize the No. 1 job, but until he does, Lankinen figures to continue poaching starts.

Lyon stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Lyon won his second start on this road trip, and it again came after regulation time. He's allowed a combined four goals on 74 shots to the Oilers and Canucks in those victories, providing a strong backup option to Cam Talbot, who has been excellent himself in recent weeks. Overall, Lyon has a 10-6-1 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 21 appearances. Talbot is likely to get the start in Seattle on Tuesday to close out the trip.

Skarek stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 6-3 road loss to the Panthers.

The Islanders allowed two goals in each period, with the Panthers' final tally going into an empty net. The 25-year-old Skarek was making his NHL debut and proved no match for the reigning Stanly Cup champions. Skarek should work as Ilya Sorokin's backup until one of Semyon Varlamov (lower body) or Marcus Hogberg (upper body) gains clearance to return.

Knight made 31 saves on 34 shots in Sunday's 6-3 home win over the Islanders.

Despite a rough second period in which the Islanders scored all three of their goals, Knight kept the Panthers' net clean while facing a large volume of shots. With the victory, the 23-year-old improved to 10-8-1 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.49 GAA. This was the netminder's first win between the pipes since Jan. 18, but he has played well since the beginning of 2025 with four wins in seven appearances. He remains firmly behind Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida's net but can be used as a decent spot-start play in fantasy.

Ingram allowed two goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Blues.

Ingram put in a good performance but didn't get much support. The 27-year-old has now gone 2-3-1 over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury, though he's limited opponents to two goals in four of those games. Overall, he has an 8-7-4 record with a 3.24 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 19 outings. He should continue to challenge Karel Vejmelka for playing time, a battle that has been relatively even since Ingram returned.
