Thompson turned aside 19 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Macklin Celebrini spoiled his shutout bid early in the third period, but otherwise Thompson was in control. The win was his fourth straight, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage while working in a timeshare with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson sits just one victory away from his first career 30-win campaign.

Jarry made 24 saves in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.

After the Penguins took a 4-1 lead early in the third period, Jarry gave up two power-play goals a minute apart to put the outcome in some jeopardy, but Pittsburgh's offense didn't let up and pulled away again. The 29-year-old netminder has injected some life into the Pens since rejoining the roster, winning four straight starts while posting a 2.24 GAA and a .930 save percentage. Pittsburgh is still six points out of a wild-card spot with five other teams to leapfrog, but if a miracle finish to the season is in the cards, it'll likely need to be fueled by Jarry rediscovering his All-Star form.

Markstrom stopped 16 of 22 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' seventh goal getting scored into an empty net.

The Devils didn't give their netminder much help, although Markstrom didn't exactly shine either. The 35-year-old goaltender has lost four of five starts since returning from a knee injury, posting a rough 4.23 GAA and an .828 save percentage over that stretch behind a blue line that's missing both Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body).

Ullmark made 21 saves in a 4-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Ullmark has looked every part of the Vezina Trophy winner he was in 2022-23. He has helped propel the Senators to seven wins in the last eight games, including six straight. Ullmark has gone 6-1-0 in his past seven outings to boost his record to 18-11-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .912 save percentage this campaign. He needs to be in the lineup for fantasy managers whenever he's in the blue paint for Ottawa.

Soderblom allowed six goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

While the Canucks didn't generate many shots, they were able to capitalize on plenty of chances. Soderblom can hardly afford to have a bad outing -- Spencer Knight had started the previous two games and looks to be solidifying himself as the No. 1 netminder. Soderblom earned his ninth loss in 10 appearances (1-5-4), and he's down to 8-16-7 with a 3.14 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 32 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are back in action at home Tuesday versus the Kraken, and Soderblom may have to wait until next weekend's back-to-back to get in the crease again.

Stolarz made 21 saves in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Stolarz's hiccup in March has continued. He's 0-3-1 in five outings with 15 goals allowed on 121 shots. His overall numbers have taken a bit of a dip with this run, but Stolarz still has a 2.39 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 25 appearances this season.

Silovs stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Silovs had lost his last four NHL outings, dating back to Nov. 19. He gave up 15 goals in that span, and while he was far from sharp Saturday, the Canucks' offense did even better with six goals on 15 shots against Arvid Soderblom. Silovs improved to 2-6-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .861 save percentage over 10 appearances. Silovs is still likely to see limited action behind Kevin Lankinen, who is probable to start Sunday at home versus Utah.

Swayman made 34 saves Saturday in a 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay. The Lightning's final two goals were scored on an empty net.

Swayman had the rink tilted at him all game long -- Andrei Vasilevskiy saw just 12 shots (two goals). Swayman can't do it alone, and that's exactly what it felt like Saturday -- the Bruins didn't show up. That means Swayman could have a rough ride to the season's end, and that could negatively impact your fantasy playoff run.

Vasilevskiy made 10 saves Saturday in a 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Yes, 10. The game was going on at the other end of the ice most of the night, including the entire second period -- the Bruins didn't register a shot on net during the middle frame. Vasilevskiy snapped a two-game personal losing streak with the win. Overall, he's 31-18-3 with four shutouts, a 2.28 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 52 starts this season.

Kuemper posted a 24-save shutout in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Predators.

After giving up 12 goals while posting a record of 0-2-1 from Feb. 28 to March 5, Kuemper has rebounded in a massive way. He's won four straight starts, including the last two by shutout, and he's stopped 97 of 99 shots in that span. The 34-year-old netminder is up to 35 shutouts in his career, including four this season. He's gone 22-8-7 with a 2.16 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 38 appearances in what's shaping up to be one of the best seasons of his career. The Kings head out on a two-game road trip to start next week, with stops in Minnesota on Monday and Chicago on Thursday.
