Hill stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

Hill was coming off three straight losses, and although only one of those came in regulation, he was still in dire need of a win. He took advantage of a favorable matchup in this one and also posted a save percentage over .900 for the first time since March 17. Hill remains the starting goaltender for the Golden Knights, and his status as the No. 1 option isn't in jeopardy, but the team's defensive woes in recent weeks have conspired against his fantasy upside. He's gone 5-6-2 in 13 appearances since the beginning of March, posting a 2.79 GAA and an .872 save percentage on 265 shots faced in that span.

Kane scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Kane snapped his six-game goalless skid with an even-strength goal at the 12:19 mark of the first period, giving Vancouver a lead they'd later lose twice in the game. Kane is playing as a bottom-six forward in one of the worst offenses in the NHL, so his fantasy appeal is very low at the moment. He has 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in 70 games this season.

Thompson will protect home the crease versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Thompson will operate in the blue paint for the 12th time in the last 13 games as the Capitals fight to stay alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The 29-year-old is 5-4-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 11 appearances in March. Thompson started in Philadelphia on March 11, a game in which he allowed three goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss.

Lankinen stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:10 left in the third period.

Lankinen has gone winless in his last six appearances, going 0-5-0 with a 3.86 GAA and an .873 save percentage on 166 shots against in that stretch. Considering the significant problems the Canucks have had all season defensively, it's hard to trust Lankinen in most formats even if he has a tight grip on the starting role between the Vancouver pipes.

LaCombe distributed two assists and dished out three hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

LaCombe picked up a helper on each of the Ducks' last two goals Monday, including a secondary assist on Leo Carlsson's game-tying goal in the third period. With the pair of helpers, LaCombe is up to 44 assists, 53 points, 142 shots on net, 67 hits and 121 blocked shots across 74 games this season. Since the calendar flipped to 2026, the 25-year-old defenseman has stepped up his game with at least a point in 25 of the 33 games he has played. In that span, he has 27 assists, 30 points and 52 shots on goal to go along with his strong category-coverage numbers of 31 hits and 52 blocked shots. The young blueliner has a bright future in Anaheim and should remain involved in all phases of the game, giving him strong fantasy value in most league formats.

Gadjovich (upper body) is not expected to suit up again this season, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday.

Gadjovich hasn't been in the lineup since late October. The 27-year-old appeared in only 10 games in 2025-26, chipping in three helpers, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating. It remains to be seen how he has been progressing in his recovery.

Boeser scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Boeser found the back of the net at the 12:17 mark of the second period, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead that they'd waste in the final 30 minutes of the contest. Boeser has two goals in his last four games and has been one of the few standout players for the Canucks in recent weeks. Over his last nine outings, the 29-year-old winger has 10 points (three goals, seven assists), 22 shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots.

Reinhart (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday.

The Panthers have been dealing with a slew of injuries, and Reinhart is one of several players who will likely be shut down for the rest of this year. The goal-scoring winger will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with 29 markers, including six game-winners, 61 points (25 on the power play), 166 shots and a minus-18 rating over 64 appearances. While it's not currently known how his recovery process is going, Reinhart should have more than enough time to be ready for the start of training camp in September ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Carlson scored a goal, fired four shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.

Carlson stayed hot Monday with his first goal since returning from a lower-body injury on March 15. Over his last six games, the 36-year-old blueliner has eight assists, nine points, 17 shots on net and 12 blocks. Overall, he has 11 goals, 55 points, 136 shots on net and 98 blocked shots across 63 games this season. The 17-year NHL veteran has cemented his role in Anaheim as the lead defenseman on his new team's power play. Carlson is on pace for his first 60-plus-point regular season since the 2021-22 campaign, making him an excellent fantasy option in all leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Greaves is scheduled to start at home against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Greaves has posted a rock-solid 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage over his last four appearances, but he's just 1-2-1 during that time. This will be the Ontario native's third start against the Hurricanes this season -- he posted a 28-save win against them March 17, though he was on the hook for a 4-1 loss in Raleigh on Dec. 9.
