Ingram stopped 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Ingram gets a lot of credit for keeping this game close -- Vegas outshot Utah 35-19 in the contest, but it took the Golden Knights until the third period to get a lead. Still, the Utah netminder has four losses in his last five outings, dropping his season record to 5-2-3. He's added a 3.57 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 10 starts. The 27-year-old has seen No. 1 usage between the pipes, but that's behind a defense hampered by injuries early in the season. Utah's road trip continues Tuesday with a stop in Winnipeg.

Hill stopped 16 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Hill didn't have a great game, but that was partially because the Golden Knights controlled the pace of play despite the close score. He has earned three straight wins, but he's allowed at least three goals in six of his seven outings this season. The only exception to that trend was his shutout win over the Flames on Monday. He's 5-2-0 with a 3.15 GAA and an .874 save percentage. Don't let the flashy record fool you -- that kind of performance could lead to collapse at any point. The Golden Knights will be searching for their first road win of 2024-25 against Edmonton on Wednesday.

Blackwood stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Pius Suter scored twice against Blackwood, including the game-winner with 26 seconds left in the third period. Blackwood received his first loss in three starts, and he's now given up at least three goals in five of his eight outings this season. The 27-year-old netminder dropped to 2-4-2 with a 3.52 GAA and an .893 save percentage. He's twice started consecutive games, giving him some separation as the Sharks' No. 1 netminder over Vitek Vanecek. San Jose's next game is Tuesday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

Lankinen stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Lankinen saw a four-game winning streak snapped in his last start but still has yet to lose in regulation. He can thank Pius Suter for Saturday's win, as the forward scored his second goal of the game with 26 seconds left in the third period. Lankinen is 5-0-2 with a 2.25 GAA and a .919 save percentage through seven outings this season. The Canucks continue their California road trip Tuesday in Anaheim.

Annunen stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

The Avalanche got within a goal late thanks to Nathan MacKinnon, but the Predators found the empty cage twice after that. Annunen put in a decent effort, but his four-game winning streak was snapped anyway. He's allowed seven goals on 53 shots over his last two contests, dropping to 4-2-0 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage across seven games (five starts) overall. Annunen has been the best of the Avalanche's goaltenders, but he's currently in a three-man rotation that also features Alexandar Georgiev and Kaapo Kahkonen. Considering the team is entertaining the idea of three goalies while running short on healthy forwards, this is a fantasy crease situation that could quickly get ugly if one of the netminders doesn't get hot soon -- all three have been on the losing end of 5-2 results in the last week. The Avalanche host the Kraken on Tuesday.

Montembeault stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins.

Montembeault was much better Saturday than in his previous start, when he was pulled after allowing five goals on 10 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Kraken. Defense and goaltending have been issues early on for Montreal, which had allowed 14 goals over its two previous games before Montembeault restored order Saturday. He upped his save percentage to .894 and improved his goals-against average to 3.43 through eight appearances in 2024-25. Montreal is off until Tuesday when it hosts Calgary.

Saros stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Saros put together a strong effort and got a season-high five goals of support from his Nashville teammates. The 29-year-old had lost his previous two starts, and this victory put him at 3-5-1 on the year. The Finn has a 2.92 GAA and a .900 save percentage over nine outings this season. Saros' slow start is mildly concerning for fantasy managers, but he continues to see a large workload that should give him plenty of chances to get back to his usual high-quality level of performance. The Predators' next game is Monday at home versus the Kings.

Woll made 20 saves on 23 shots in a 4-2 loss to St. Louis on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

He was OK, but he allowed two goals on point shots that should generally be stoppable for NHL goalies. Woll has talent but needs to establish consistency before fantasy managers can rely on him. After returning from an early-season groin issue, he allowed seven goals in two losses to the Blues and had a brilliant win over the Kraken on Thursday.

Binnington made 35 saves in a 4-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

He has been up and down this season but was superb in Saturday's win. Binnington delivered a 1.33 GSAx (Goals Saved Above Expected) after stymying the Leafs more than once. He seems to love playing the Leafs -- he Binningtoned the Leafs on Oct. 24, too. He is 3-5-0 with a 2.87 GAA and a .903 save percentage this season. There will be stumbles alongside the brilliance from Saturday, but fantasy managers are likely accustomed to his swings in performance.

Forsberg posted a 22-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Forsberg bounced back from his loss in Colorado to earn his second shutout of the season. The 31-year-old has allowed at least three goals in his other four outings of the season, leaving him with fairly average numbers. He's 3-2-0 with a 2.65 GAA and a .910 save percentage over six appearances (five starts). Linus Ullmark should see a majority of the starts, but Forsberg has been reliable when called upon and probably won't sit too long between appearances.
