Markstrom made 14 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Leafs on Tuesday.

The ice was steeply tilted against Anthony Stolarz at the other end of the rink, and Markstrom consequently didn't get much action. The Leafs' first goal came shorthanded where they seemed to get more opportunities than at even strength or on the power play. Markstrom is 13-6-2 with a 2.48 GAA, .906 save percentage and one shutout.

Stolarz made 38 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 win over the Devils.

The Devils were all over the Leafs. They peppered Stolarz with seven shots in the first five minutes. He made 16 saves in the first period alone. Stolarz, who was born in Edison, New Jersey, had 40 family members and friends in attendance in Newark to see him deliver one of his best efforts this season. Even Devils coach Sheldon Keefe was effusive with his praise after the game, saying "they [Leafs] have the best goaltending in the league."

Jarry made 21 saves Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Colorado.

Jarry and the Pens were picked apart by Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, who each had five points on the way to the win. The Pittsburgh netminder was too deep in his net most of the night. The Avs exploited him, and the boos rained down. The loss snapped his four-game winning streak. Overall, Jarry is 5-4-1 with an unimpressive 3.81 GAA and .881 save percentage. He's a tough activation right now.

Wedgewood made 24 saves in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Wedgewood is now 3-1-0 in four starts with the Avs, and his 1.59 GAA and .944 save percentage across those appearances make him look like a star. Unfortunately for him, Mackenzie Blackwood's arrival via trade from San Jose might push Wedgewood into the backup role despite his recent success. Still, this team is powerful, so Wedgewood needs to be in your blue paint whenever he's in theirs.

Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Miner served as Scott Wedgewood's backup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. If Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) is healthy and ready to go Thursday versus Utah, Miner's move to the AHL will likely be long-term after the Avalanche have addressed their goaltending problem through trades.

Skinner will guard the home goal versus the Lightning on Tuesday.

Skinner is set for his fourth start in the last five games. He's allowed just six goals over his last four outings, winning three of them. The Lightning have won four of their last six games, scoring 30 goals in that span, so they could present a challenge even with Skinner displaying good form.

Vasilevskiy will protect the road goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Vasilevksiy has won his last two starts, allowing just three goals on 46 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old had lost three of his previous four outings before turning things around. Still, the Oilers are a challenging matchup -- they've scored 24 goals over their last six contests, winning five of those games.

Saros will patrol the home crease versus Calgary on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros has surrendered 19 goals on 167 shots during his 0-3-3 skid. He has a 6-12-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.66 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. Calgary sits 29th in the league with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25.

Vladar will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Vladar has gone 2-1-2 with 15 goals allowed over his last five games. The Predators are averaging a league-worst 2.18 goals per game, so this could be a chance for Vladar to get back on track.

Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Kochetkov will get a favorable matchup after dropping two of his previous three outings. He allowed 11 goals on 72 shots in that span. The Sharks are averaging 2.73 goals per game this season.
