Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Falls to Flames on Saturday
Rotowire
Silovs stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Calgary.
The 24-year-old netminder had little chance on either goal. The first came on a Connor Zary breakaway early in the first period, while the winner by Matthew Coronato was fired through a screen 42 seconds into the third. It was Silovs' first loss since Dec. 18, snapping a four-start win streak, while it was also the first time he'd allowed fewer than three goals since Nov. 14 against the Predators. On the season, Silovs is 8-6-6 over 20 outings with a 3.18 GAA and .886 save percentage, and while he's splitting the Pittsburgh crease with Stuart Skinner right now, that could soon change -- Skinner's given up just three goals on 69 shots over his last three starts.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Extends winning run
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.

The 24-year-old Silovs has a 5-5-6 record on the season with a 3.22 GAA and an .887 save percentage. He'll take on a Blackhawks squad that's on the second of a back-to-back but fresh off of a big win against the Stars to snap a six-game losing streak.

Silovs was pulled from Friday's 5-0 loss to the Wild after allowing four goals on 10 shots.

Rotowire
Silovs was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, signaling that he'll draw the home start against the Wild.
Silovs has struggled to enter the win column over the past month, as he's gone 1-1-4 across his last six starts despite a decent 2.56 GAA and .917 save percentage during that time.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: In goal Friday
Rotowire
Silovs will get the starting nod in Friday's Global Series matchup with Nashville, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Silovs has been struggling of late, going 1-1-3 in his last five outings while posting a .914 save percentage. With Tristan Jarry (lower body) on the shelf, it's possible Silovs sees an uptick in starts, though youngster Sergei Murashov is considered the goalie of the future for Pittsburgh and could get the nod versus Nashville on Sunday.

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.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Exits ice first Thursday
Rotowire
Silovs was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Thursday's clash with the Capitals, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home.
Silovs should see the bulk of the workload while Tristan Jarry (lower body) is on the shelf, though with a back-to-back against the Devils and Kings on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, youngster Sergei Murashov will get an early look after being recalled from the minors Tuesday. How the Penguins deploy the duo could be impacted by how well, or not, Murashov adjusts to the NHL tempo. For now, fantasy managers can expect Silovs to get most of the starts, but he is likely on a short leash with the presumptive goalie-of-the-future right behind him.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Hot start continues
Rotowire
Silovs made 32 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers on Tuesday.
Silovs has been hot to start the season -- he is 3-1-2 in six starts with a 2.44 GAA and a .919 save percentage. He and Tristan Jarry have been splitting games this season, and both men have been strong in the blue paint. Silovs is a must-roster guy this year, and he could find himself on the heavy side of a 60/40 split by season's end.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: First goalie off Tuesday
Rotowire
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.
To open the season, Silovs and Tristan Jarry have been going every other game, with that trend set to continue Tuesday. 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.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: First off ice Thursday
Rotowire
Silovs was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to defend the visiting crease in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Silovs looked solid Opening Night as he stopped all 25 shots in a 3-0 win over the Rangers, but he struggled at home Saturday against the same Rangers, allowing six goals on 30 shots. Silovs will face the Kings, who are averaging 2.75 goals per game this year, which ranks 23rd in the NHL.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Silovs saved 24 of 30 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.
After posting a shutout performance against the Rangers on Oct. 7, Silovs came back down to earth and struggled against them just four days later. He conceded at least one goal in each period, with the Rangers erupting for three goals against Silovs in the second frame. The 24-year-old Silovs now has a 1-1-0 record, a 3.00 GAA, and an .891 save percentage through two starts this season. Despite Saturday's performance, Silovs will likely maintain a near-even split with Tristan Jarry, at least while Joel Blomqvist (lower body) remains on injured reserve. This is a goaltending situation to avoid in most fantasy formats.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Posts 25-save shutout
Rotowire
Silovs stopped all 25 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
Silovs got the start for Opening Night after outperforming Tristan Jarry in the preseason, and he was impressive en route to posting a shutout. One good outing is not enough to claim Silovs as the permanent starter between the pipes going forward, but he certainly strengthened his case with a strong showing on Opening Night. The Penguins' next game will come against the Islanders on Thursday, and it's uncertain if either Silovs or Jarry will get the start to protect Pittsburgh's crease.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Set to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Silovs is expected to play between the pipes in Wednesday's road exhibition game against Columbus, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
The plan is for Silovs to be in net for the first half of the game before Filip Larsson replaces him for the second half. Silovs is projected to start the 2025-26 campaign as Tristan Jarry's understudy. However, there might be an opportunity for Silovs to play a bigger role if he does well, and Jarry endures the same kind of struggles he did last year.
