  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Between pipes against San Jose

    Ingram will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Sharks, per Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

    Ingram got back in the win column Sunday against the Predators in a 3-1 victory, turning aside 26 of 27 shots. The Saskatchewan native owns a 4-2-1 record with a 2.74 GAA and .892 save percentage over eight appearances since the Olympic break. Ingram has emerged as the Oilers' No. 1 netminder, and he'll look to continue building momentum against a Sharks team that is 15-17-1 away from home in 2025-26.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Concedes five goals in loss

    DeSmith stopped 16 of 21 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth. The sixth goal he allowed was an empty-netter.

    DeSmith was coming off several solid performances, but he took a step back Monday by posting a .762 save percentage on 21 shots faced -- his lowest mark of the season by a wide margin. Even though DeSmith has enjoyed a decent run of appearances of late, he remains the clear No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger. The 34-year-old veteran is a trustworthy option every time he's called upon duty, though. He's gone 3-1-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .875 save percentage in four starts since the Olympic break, although those numbers suffered a significant hit after Monday's loss.

  • Mammoth's Vitek Vanecek: Earns win over Dallas

    Vanecek stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

    Vanecek was beaten once in each period, but he didn't have to sweat it out for the win after the Mammoth scored four goals in the final frame. Vanecek has made just three starts since the Olympic break, going 2-0-1 with solid peripherals, including a 1.98 GAA and an impressive .917 save percentage. That said, Vanecek should remain as the clear No. 2 in goaltending duties behind Karel Vejmelka, meaning his fantasy upside will be more matchup-based than anything else.

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Guarding net in divisional matchup

    Greaves will start at home against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    Greaves is coming off an 18-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old is sporting a 21-12-8 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 42 appearances in 2025-26. Greaves has already been on the losing end once against Carolina this season -- he allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 4-1 road loss Dec. 9.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Starting in Chicago

    Gustavsson will defend the road net against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

    Gustavsson's stretch of solid play between the pipes came to a halt Saturday against the Rangers, a game in which he surrendered four goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss. The Swedish netminder has registered a 24-11-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 appearances this season. Gustavsson has a favorable matchup against a Blackhawks club that sits 30th in the NHL with 2.61 goals per game in 2025-26.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Expected to face Nashville

    Hellebuyck is slated to draw the home start against the Predators on Tuesday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

    Hellebuyck got the day off Sunday against St. Louis after appearing in eight straight games since Feb. 27. He was 4-2-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage during that time. Hellebuyck has been excellent in his career against Tuesday's opponent -- he has an 18-9-2 record, 2.38 GAA and .928 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings against the Predators. Hellebuyck also turned aside 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 home win over Nashville on Oct. 18.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Patrolling home blue paint Tuesday

    Dobes will be between the home pipes in Tuesday's divisional meeting versus Boston.

    Dobes has had mixed results lately -- he's 3-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and an .887 save percentage over his last five outings. The 24-year-old will take on a team that has struggled away from TD Garden, as the Bruins are 12-14-6 on the road this season. This will be the fourth matchup between Boston and Montreal in 2025-26, though Dobes has yet to face the Bruins in his career.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Drawing home start

    Woll will occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Islanders, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Woll has picked up just one victory across his last six outings, going 1-4-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage since the NHL resumed play following the Olympic break. The Islanders have netted 11 goals over their last four games, a stretch in which they are 3-1-0. Woll didn't fare well against the Isles in a start against them earlier this year, conceding four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss, though that game was on Long Island.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Back in win column Tuesday

    Gibson turned aside 26 of 28 shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

    Gibson earned his first win since Mar. 8 with Tuesday's victory, where he bounced back in the second period and beyond after allowing the game's opening tally in the first. The win brought him up to a 25-15-3 record, a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 45 games this season. The 32-year-old netminder is on pace to make 50 appearances or more this season for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign. With the Red Wings finding their stride again, Gibson still has time to challenge his career-best 31 wins, which he earned across 60 regular-season appearances during the 2017-18 season. He holds solid fantasy value in most standard leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Allows four goals in loss

    Wolf stopped 20 of 24 shots on net in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Wolf kept the Red Wings off the scoreboard in the first period before allowing four tallies in the second, including three across the first seven minutes of the period. With Tuesday's loss, he now holds a 19-25-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in five of his last six appearances. While his overall play leaves room for improvement, the young netminder has had inconsistent defensive play in front of him, making his job difficult at times. Wolf's fantasy value is best utilized in deep fantasy leagues moving forward until he and the rest of the Flames take a step up. His next chance to bounce back is Wednesday's clash with the Blues, marking the team's first game at home since Mar. 7.
