Stolarz allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers. The fifth marker was an empty-netter.

The Panthers were able to score in a variety of ways Wednesday, as Stolarz was beaten once at even strength, twice on the power play and once shorthanded. The New Jersey native has alternated wins and losses over his last four appearances, and he's allowed at least three goals in three of those contests. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 7-4-2 record, .921 save percentage and 2.33 GAA through 13 appearances.

Bobrovsky turned aside 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Toronto.

Bobrovsky got back on the right track Wednesday after allowing six goals in a loss to Colorado and four in a defeat to Winnipeg in his prior two starts. While the 36-year-old has a solid record (10-5-1), he's been wildly inconsistent, especially in November -- Bob has conceded a different number of goals on seven of eight occasions in the second month of the campaign. The Russian netminder is tied for third in the NHL in wins, and through 16 appearances, the two-time Vezina Trophy winner has an. 889 save percentage and a 3.05 GAA.

Korpisalo stopped 21 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Korpisalo came up big in the third period, turning aside all 10 shots he faced as the Bruins broke open a 3-3 tie. The veteran netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss in November, going 4-0-1 in six appearances with a dazzling 1.76 GAA and .933 save percentage, and while Boston's investment in Jeremy Swayman likely locks him into the top spot on the depth chart, Korpisalo is making a compelling case for more playing time.

Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

The Lightning handed their star goalie a lead in every period, but Vasilevskiy couldn't make any of them stick, although there wasn't much he could do on Tom Wilson's game-winner late in the third. The five goals allowed tied his season high, and the performance continued a roller-coaster November for Vasilevskiy that has seen him go 4-4-1 in nine starts with a 2.33 GAA and .909 save percentage.

Lindgren turned aside 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.

The veteran netminder was nearly the goat for the Capitals on the night -- with the score tied 3-3 midway through the third period, Lindgren left his crease to handle a dump-in and inadvertently backhanded the puck into his own net when he tried to get it out of harm's way. Washington bailed him out though, as tallies by John Carlson and Tom Wilson sealed the win. Lindgren hadn't given up more than three goals in a game since Oct. 12, and on the season he's 6-5-0 in 11 starts with a 2.76 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Talbot stopped 24 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

The veteran goalie nearly came away with his second shutout of the season, but Connor Zary snuck a power-play tally past Talbot through a partial screen with less than three minutes left in the third period. It's Talbot's first win since Nov. 13, and on the season he's 6-4-2 over 13 appearances with a 2.47 GAA and an impressive .923 save percentage that ranks third in the NHL among qualified netminders.

Vladar made 25 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

All three goals on the night were scored on power plays, but Vladar might like a re-do on Lucas Raymond's game-winner in OT from the slot, as the netminder got a clean look at the shot but still got beaten on his blocker side. It was still another strong performance for Vladar in November, and on the month he's delivered a 2.11 GAA and .915 save percentage over six starts, albeit with a 2-2-2 record.

Blackwood allowed four goals on 11 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

Aside from when he was pulled for an extra attacker, Blackwood played the whole game. He wasted a strong defensive effort from the Sharks -- the 11 shots against made this easily the lightest workload he's faced all season. Blackwood dropped to 4-8-3 with a 3.14 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 15 appearances. He's been the Sharks' top option in goal so far, but his overall numbers limit his fantasy value to formats where playing time matters more than results. Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek are likely to split the upcoming home-and-home set versus the Kraken, which begins in San Jose on Friday before wrapping up in Seattle on Saturday.

Ullmark stopped 36 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Ullmark put an end to his four-game losing skid, and he had to be sharp to do so. The Sharks rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period, but Adam Gaudette's second goal of the game with 4:12 left was enough to earn the win for the Senators. This was Ullmark's heaviest workload in a start this season. He's now 5-7-1 with a 3.09 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 14 appearances. He'll likely split the next two starts with Anton Forsberg, as the Senators finish their California trip with a back-to-back in Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday.

Hill stopped 33 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Hill played big in the third period and overtime, and he also turned aside four of five shootout attempts. His heroics were not enough, as Valeri Nichushkin scored in the fifth round of the shootout, an encore to his game-tying goal in the second period. Hill has had a few uneven performances this season, but he's allowed just nine goals across his last five starts despite a 3-1-1 record in that span. The 28-year-old is now 9-4-2 with a 2.84 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 15 starts this season. The Golden Knights have a home back-to-back up next as they host the Jets on Friday and Utah on Saturday. Hill and Ilya Samsonov are likely to split those games.
