    Predators' Juuse Saros: Can't stop skid

    Saros stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.

    Saros is 0-3-3 over his last six outings, and the Predators have scored a total of 11 goals in those games. The lack of support isn't helping, but it's not like Saros has been at his usual elite level of goaltending either. The Finnish goalie is down to 6-12-5 with a 2.66 GAA and a .910 save percentage over a league-high 23 starts. The Predators have a one-game stop at home Tuesday when they host the Flames.

  • Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Great ratios opening eyes

    Kejmelka made 23 saves in a 5-2 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

    He was beaten early on a redirection and late on a rebound. Other than that, Vejmelka shut the door. He doesn't have a lot of wins this season -- he's just 4-7-1 overall -- but Vejmelka sports a 2.35 GAA and a .917 save percentage despite that record. Connor Ingram (upper body) isn't close to a return, so the net is Vejmelka's. Given his strong play, it wouldn't be surprising to see Vejmelka push Ingram for starts once the veteran returns.

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Winning streak snapped by Penguins

    Woll allowed three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Woll kept the game closer than the final score indicates, but he wasn't able to earn a seventh straight win. He's still yet to give up more than three goals in his last nine outings -- the only time he's yielded four was his season debut versus the Blues on Oct. 24. Woll is at a 7-3-0 record with a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 starts this season. The Maple Leafs have mostly alternated starts over the last month, so expect to see Anthony Stolarz between the pipes Tuesday in New Jersey.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Allows two goals in win

    Jarry stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Jarry's winning streak is up to four games. The final score made it look more lopsided than it was -- the Penguins didn't have a multi-goal lead until Blake Lizotte's empty-netter in the final minute, so Jarry had to be sharp. The 29-year-old goalie improved to 5-3-1 with a 3.68 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 10 appearances. He looks to have regained the No. 1 job in Pittsburgh, though he'll be a fade in fantasy for Tuesday's matchup against the Avalanche.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Game sharpening into focus

    Swayman made 23 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers on Saturday.

    Swayman has put up three straight wins for the first time this season. His contract holdout put him in a challenging spot and likely contributed to his sluggish start. It will take additional time to fix his 3.02 GAA and .893 save percentage, but he's 4-2-0 with a .918 save percentage in his past six outings.

  • Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Hot and cold season continues

    Kolosov made 27 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston on Saturday.

    The Bruins rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period before getting the overtime winner. Kolosov has run cold and hot this season, starting with four losses before winning three outings. He has lost his past two contests while allowing four goals each time. Samuel Ersson (lower body) will be back soon, and Kolosov will probably return to the minors.

  • Petr Mrazek G | ANA

    Blackhawks' Petr Mrazek: Expected to miss additional time

    Mrazek (undisclosed) is expected to miss more game action after getting hurt in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Mrazek made four saves on four shots in 10:46 of ice time before leaving Saturday's game in the first period. Arvid Soderblom received the loss after surrendering three goals on 24 shots in relief. An update on Mrazek's timeline should come ahead of Monday's road matchup versus the Rangers.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Starting against Wild

    Kuemper will start at home versus the Wild on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Kuemper was activated from injured reserve and served as backup to David Rittich in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars. The 34-year-old Kuemper will now get his first game action since Nov. 13. He has gone 4-2-3 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 10 outings this season, and the Wild are coming off a 5-1 win over the Ducks on Friday.

  • Joseph Woll G | PHI

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Defending crease Saturday

    Woll will guard the road goal versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

    Woll will get the second half of Toronto's back-to-back after Anthony Stolarz played in Friday's 3-1 loss to Washington. The 26-year-old Woll has stopped 159 of 170 shots during his six-game winning streak. He has a 7-2-0 record with one shutout, a 2.11 GAA and a .922 save percentage through nine appearances this campaign. Pittsburgh lost 4-2 to the Rangers on Friday and sit 24th in the league with 2.79 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Expected to start Saturday

    Jarry is set to guard the home goal against Toronto on Saturday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

    Jarry has a 4-3-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .884 save percentage in nine outings this season. He's won his past three starts while stopping 92 of 101 shots (.911 save percentage). The Maple Leafs are tied for 16th in terms of goals per game with 3.00.
