  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: First off Tuesday

    Stolarz was the first goalie off at morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa, per Mark Masters of TSN.

    Stolarz is off to a great start in 2024-25 -- he's 4-0-2 in his last six games, and he hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 19. The New Jersey native has been particularly good in November, allowing just three goals on 84 shots over three outings. Stolarz will go up against a Senators team that's scored 48 goals through 14 games.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Gives up three goals Monday

    Saros stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Saros was beaten twice in the second period and once more in overtime, though there wasn't much he could have done on the game-winning goal from Samuel Girard, as it was a breakaway for the Avalanche defenseman. Saros couldn't build on the 26-save shutout win he posted vs. Utah on Nov. 9, but his numbers have been very good of late. Over his last five outings, Saros has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.00 GAA and an excellent .934 save percentage.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Guarding goal Tuesday

    Ullmark will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road divisional matchup with Toronto, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

    Ullmark will make his ninth appearance and eighth start of the season. The 31-year-old Swedish netminder had lost back-to-back games before making 14 saves on 16 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Bruins. Ullmark will face a Toronto club that's scoring 3.13 goals per game through 16 contests, though the Maple Leafs may not have Auston Matthews (upper body) for this Atlantic Division showdown.

  • Panthers' Spencer Knight: Tending twine Tuesday

    Knight will guard the cage at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    After Sergei Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice at Tuesday's game-day skate, all signs pointed to the veteran getting the nod but it seems Knight will go instead against New Jersey. In five outings this year, the 23-year-old backstop is 3-1-0 with a 2.79 GAA and .902 save percentage. Depending on how head coach Paul Maurice wants to rotate his goalies, Knight could get 2-3 more starts in November.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Not starting after all

    Bobrovsky won't be in the net against New Jersey on Tuesday with Spencer Knight getting the home start instead, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice, which normally signals the starter, but head coach Paul Maurice announced it would be Knight instead. The 36-year-old Bobrovsky is riding a five-game winning streak, so the decision to go with Knight was a bit of a surprise, though it will likely allow Bobrovsky to take both games against the nearly unbeatable Jets on Nov. 16 and 19.

  • Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Strong showing Monday

    Georgiev stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    Georgiev was beaten early in the first and third periods, but he was impressive the rest of the way and posted one of his highest save percentages of the campaign. The 28-year-old netminder had a shaky start to the season but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, going 2-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .922 save percentage across his last three starts.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: First goalie off Tuesday

    Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Devils.

    Considering the Cats last played Saturday versus the Flyers and Bobrovsky is riding a five-game winning streak, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the veteran backstop manning the crease. During that winning stretch, the 36-year-old Russian is sporting a 2.36 GAA and .917 save percentage. Even without a back-to-back on the schedule until the end of November, Bobrovsky will likely get a rest over the Panthers' next five games, though which game should go to backup Spencer Knight would certainly be open to debate.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Sharp in fifth win

    Wolf made 28 saves in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    The 23-year-old nearly recorded his first career shutout, but Trevor Moore just got the puck across the goal line late in the third period on a mad scramble around the Calgary crease before Wolf's glove batted it back out of the cage. Wolf may be on the verge of emerging from a timeshare with Dan Vladar and taking over the No. 1 job for the Flames -- Wolf has started three of the last four games, going 2-0-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .923 save percentage to begin the month of November.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Tough loss in Calgary

    Kuemper turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flames, with Calgary's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    The veteran netminder kept the Flames off the board in the first period, but Kuemper gave up two tallies in the second and the Kings' offense didn't show signs of life until late in the third. Kuemper has allowed three goals or fewer in six straight starts, going 3-2-1 with a 2.17 GAA and .906 save percentage. He's enjoying life in Los Angeles' stingy scheme -- Monday's 27 shots were the most he's faced during that six-start stretch.

  • Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Needed in relief against Dallas

    Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 32 shots after replacing Joel Blomqvist midway through the first period of Monday's 7-1 loss to the Stars.

    The Penguins were never in the game, coughing up six goals in the first period alone, and the switch to Nedeljkovic did nothing to wake them up. The 28-year-old netminder has given up 12 goals in his last three appearances, stumbling to a 4.12 GAA and .842 save percentage over that stretch. While Pittsburgh's leaky blue line bears a lot of responsibility for those struggles, Nedeljkovic's spot atop the depth chart seems shaky at best, especially with Tristan Jarry back in the NHL.
