Ingram posted a 27-save shutout in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Ingram celebrated his 29th birthday in style, earning his second shutout of the campaign and the ninth of his NHL career. This was his third straight win, and he's allowed just five goals on 89 shots in that span. The strong run of play recently has helped the Oilers get their feet off the fire in the playoff race. Ingram is up to 14-8-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. As long as the results stay good, the crease is all his. The Oilers host the Blackhawks in a favorable matchup Thursday.

Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Grubauer kept it close but didn't get any help from his teammates. This was his third straight start, but he's gone 1-1-1 with seven goals allowed on 92 shots in those outings. He finishes March with a 2-3-1 record over seven appearances. Grubauer is down to 13-10-4 on the year with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Kraken can't afford many more losses if they want to stay in the playoff race, so expect the goaltending starts to go to the hot hand. The Kraken host the Mammoth on Thursday in a game that will be pivotal in the standings.

Knight stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Knight is 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in his last four outings. The Blackhawks' inexperienced defense and Knight's career-high 50 games played are likely factors in his declining performance late in the season. The 24-year-old netminder is now at an 18-21-11 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage on the year. The Blackhawks set off for a three-game road trip next, which begins Thursday in Edmonton. That'll be a matchup fantasy managers want to avoid, as the Oilers have tagged Knight for six goals on 66 shots in their previous two meetings this season.

Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Hellebuyck let in a goal in each period, ultimately letting a 3-1 lead slip away. However, the Jets controlled the puck for all of overtime, culminating in Kyle Connor's tally 33 seconds into the frame. Hellebuyck has now won three of his last four games while allowing nine goals on 106 shots in that span. He's up to 20-20-11 with a 2.80 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 51 starts this season. The Jets are within a point of a playoff spot after this win, so expect a steady string of Hellebuyck starts to come, especially since the Jets don't have a back-to-back set until April 13-14. He'll likely get the nod in Dallas on Thursday.

Oettinger made 17 saves Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to Boston.

The Bruins were intense and disciplined, and they closed quickly on every puck. Oettinger did his best, but his squad continued their struggles. The team is 1-4-2 in their past seven and skidded out of a four-game road trip 1-2-1. Oettinger has 30 wins this season for the fifth time in his career, but he can't do it all. Plus, his .898 save percentage is the worst of his career and painfully pedestrian -- this season, the league average for save percentage is .896. Oettinger will get a rest soon as the Stars start to prep for the postseason.

Greaves allowed four goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Greaves hadn't allowed more than three goals in any of his previous seven outings. The results are starting to fade for the 25-year-old, who is 1-3-1 with 12 goals allowed on 137 shots over his last five contests. His performance is still steady, which has helped him earn a 24-15-9 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 49 appearances this season. Greaves is still a tough fantasy play for Thursday's rematch with the Hurricanes in Carolina.

Korpisalo made 13 saves in a 6-3 win over the Stars on Tuesday.

The game was never in doubt for the Bruins -- they played a strong and smothering team game, and Korpisalo was solid when he needed to be. He has won two straight games and is 3-1-2 in six starts since the Olympic break. Korpisalo may get a few extra starts before season's end to ensure Jeremy Swayman is rested and ready for the postseason. Deploy Korpisalo if you need wins or overtime losses, but beware the goals against and save percentage traps. In his last nine starts, Korpisalo has allowed three or more goals in eight of those games and four or more in five.

Bussi stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Bussi has won his last three outings, allowing seven goals on 70 shots in that span. He let a 2-0 lead slip away in this game, but the Hurricanes rebounded late in the third period to secure the win. Bussi is up to 28-6-1 with a 2.44 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 35 appearances. Bussi and Frederik Andersen mostly alternated starts in March, so it might be Andersen who gets the rematch against the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Dobes made 36 saves in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

The score betrays what actually happened Tuesday. The Habs scored twice into an empty net. The ice had been tilted toward the Habs' net all night, and Dobes was outstanding. He had to be -- he was dueling with the NHL's best netminder in Andrei Vasilevskiy. Dobes has now won four straight starts with just five goals allowed (.965 save percentage). He's helped the Habs climb to within two points of the Bolts for second in the Atlantic division.

Vasilevskiy made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.

The game was a lot closer than the score suggests. Vasilevskiy allowed just two goals. He was outdueled by Jakub Dobes, who faced 37 pucks in the Montreal net. It was Vasilevskiy's first regulation loss since March 14 (seven starts). His Vezina-caliber season continues. He leads in the NHL in wins (35), is second in GAA (2.33) and is tied with Logan Thompson for second in save percentage (.913).
