Rotowire
Silovs stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Silovs has won each of his last three starts, but he's allowed three goals in each of those contests while posting a save percentage below the .900 mark. In fact, Silovs has gone eight straight games without posting a save percentage of .900 or higher, as he hasn't been above that threshold since a loss in Nashville on Nov. 14. Since then, Silovs has gone 3-3-2 with a 4.30 GAA and an abysmal .834 save percentage. He's not a reliable fantasy option in any format given his struggles.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Holds on for win
Rotowire
Silovs faced 30 shots, stopping 27, in a 5-3 win over the Capitals on Thursday.
Silovs and the Penguins were up 3-0 in the second period when the wheels started to fall off. Washington evened the score 3-3, but Silovs did enough in the third period to hang on for the win. With the victory, the 24-year-old backstop brought his three-game losing streak to a close. It figures to be a heavy dose of Silovs in the crease for Pittsburgh over the next three weeks while Tristan Jarry (lower body) is sidelined. A back-to-back versus the Devils and Kings on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, will see Silovs split the workload with Sergei Murashov.

Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Vancouver.

In his three appearances this year, the 24-year-old Silovs is 2-1-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Unless one of the two backstops can separate himself from the other, fantasy managers can likely expect Silovs and Jarry to continue dividing the workload.
