Cooley gave up five goals on 33 shots after replacing Dustin Wolf midway through the first period of Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Calgary's defense never got off the plane in Denver, and neither of the team's goalies had much success against a 49-shot onslaught. Cooley has allowed fewer than three goals only once in his last six outings, going 2-2-1 during that stretch with a 3.95 GAA and .873 save percentage.

Wolf gave up four goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Devin Cooley midway through the first period of Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Calgary's defense never got off the plane in Denver, and neither of the team's goalies had much success against a 49-shot onslaught. Wolf has had a bumpy March overall, allowing exactly four goals in six of his 10 outings this month en route to a 5-4-0 record with a 3.63 GAA and .879 save percentage.

Husso turned away 23 of 28 shots on net in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Husso struggled in the third period, allowing three goals to lead to overtime, where he ultimately surrendered the game-winning tally with five seconds remaining in the extra frame. With the loss, he now has a 9-7-2 record, a 3.18 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 18 appearances this season. While he has struggled down the stretch of the season, the 31-year-old goalie has managed to extend each of his last three starts to overtime and has won two of them. Husso is a risky fantasy option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs, but he could offer value as a matchup-dependent spot start in deep leagues.

Boqvist picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 8-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

The 25-year-old blueliner helped set up second-period tallies by Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal as the Isles grabbed a 2-0 lead before imploding. It was Boqvist's first multi-point performance in 26 games during a season in which he's struggled just to get into the lineup, and he's still looking for his first goal of 2025-26.

Schwindt (lower body) remains in a non-contact jersey ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Schwindt is expected to play again this season, but he is running out of time to get into a game. Once given the all-clear, the 24-year-old winger will likely slot into a bottom-six role, though he could see increased opportunities given the number of injuries to the Cats' forward group.

Ritchie notched two assists in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

The 21-year-old rookie had a hand in second-period tallies by Mathew Barzal and Brayden Schenn as the Isles briefly took a 3-1 lead before imploding. Ritchie has a tidy four-game point streak going, and over his last 12 contests, he's collected four goals and 10 points while skating in a top-six role.

Barzal produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Islanders.

After a scoreless first period, New York actually jumped out to a 3-1 lead thanks in large part to Barzal's efforts, but the wheels came off completely after that. The 28-year-old has been productive in March, delivering two goals and 13 points in 15 games, and Barzal needs one more goal to reach 20 on the season, and three more points to get to 70 for the third time in his career.

Rittich gave up one goal on three shots after replacing Ilya Sorokin midway through the third period of Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

It was a brutal night for the Islanders overall, and Rittich didn't escape unscathed after replacing Sorokin between the pipes with just over 12 minutes left. Rittich's last three outings have all been abbreviated -- two in relief, plus a March 24 start in which he got the hook himself after just one period, and through six appearances in March, he's gone 2-1-0 with a rough 4.18 GAA and .862 save percentage. Despite that recent track record, he'll likely get the nod Tuesday in Buffalo as the Isles try to hang onto a playoff spot.

Stolarz stopped 28 of 32 shots on net in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.

Stolarz allowed two goals early in the first period before shoring up his defense over time, as he gave up just two tallies across the last 50 minutes of regulation. With the OT win, he now holds a 10-9-3 record, a 3.30 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 24 outings this season. While the 2025-26 campaign has been a rocky one for the 32-year-old netminder, he has built up a three-game win streak and is trending in the right direction. When healthy, Stolarz profiles as a solid option to make spot starts in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season.

Sorokin gave up seven goals on 28 shots before being replaced midway through the third period by David Rittich in Monday's 8-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

It was the worst performance of the season for Sorokin, who allowed just four goals on 86 shots over his prior four outings combined. March hasn't been kind to the veteran netminder, and his Vezina hopes may be fading -- he's been tagged for at least five goals three times this month, managing a 6-6-0 record over 12 appearances with a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage.
