NHL Player News

Wolf will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf is coming off a 28-save performance in Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah. He has a 23-28-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 56 appearances. Colorado ranks first in the league with 3.66 goals per game this season.

Stevenson will defend the road net against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Stevenson has won two of his three NHL starts this season while allowing only seven goals on 73 shots. Columbus ranks 17th in the league this campaign with 3.02 goals per game.

Knight turned aside 21 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.

Knight's struggles continued Monday, as he was handed his eighth consecutive loss. He's received minimal help from his offense during that span, but he has just an .868 save percentage and a 4.07 GAA during his recent 0-6-2 stretch of play. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder has an 18-25-11 record, a 2.84 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 54 games this season. His first full season in Chicago has many highs he can take into next season, including leading the Blackhawks to more combined wins and overtime losses than regulation losses. He still holds high upside in dynasty-based fantasy formats ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Luukkonen stopped 14 of 15 shots on net in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Luukkonen allowed the first goal of the contest while at a man disadvantage, but went on to keep Buffalo's net clean for the next 56 minutes. With the win, he now has a 22-9-3 record, a 2.51 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 35 games this season. The 27-year-old netminder has been on fire as of late with a 5-1-0 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .910 save percentage across his last six outings. With his hot streak helping the Sabres claim their first Atlantic Division title since the 2009-10 campaign, he'll likely get a game of rest before being the top choice to suit up for Game 1 of Buffalo's first-round series.

Swayman is expected to start at home against the Devils on Tuesday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

Swayman holds a 30-18-4 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 54 appearances in 2025-26, a notable rebound from a difficult 2024-25 campaign in which he managed just 22 wins in 58 outings. Boston's season finale should provide a last look at Swayman ahead of the postseason, and he profiles as a solid fantasy option for the stretch run given his strong win total and above-average peripherals. He's a reliable starter in all standard formats down the homestretch.

Greaves is expected to start at home against the Capitals on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Greaves holds a 26-18-9 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 54 appearances in 2025-26 -- a significant step up in workload from the 11 outings he logged with Columbus a season ago, when he posted a stellar 1.91 GAA and .938 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder has developed into a reliable NHL starter after working his way up from the OHL and AHL without ever being drafted, spending parts of four seasons with the Cleveland Monsters before earning a full-time NHL role. He's a decent fantasy option for spot starts given his solid peripherals, though his win total and save percentage make him a streaming-tier option rather than a must-start in most formats.

Kolosov was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old netminder holds a 15-20-2 record with a 2.88 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 37 appearances with the Phantoms in 2025-26, which is a significant improvement over the 3.11 GAA and .884 save percentage he posted in 12 AHL games a season ago. His NHL numbers this year remain a concern at 0-2-0 with a 4.00 GAA and an .830 save percentage in four outings. With Dan Vladar and Samuel Ersson ahead of him on Philadelphia's depth chart, Kolosov is unlikely to see meaningful action unless injury strikes. He carries minimal fantasy value in the short term.

Varlamov was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on a conditioning assignment Tuesday.

Varlamov was already ruled out for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign with the Islanders, but his conditioning stint could open the door for him to feature for AHL Bridgeport in one of the club's final three regular-season games. The decision could also be just about getting the netminder extra practice time, as the Islanders wrap up their season against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Annunen stopped 20 of 22 shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks. San Jose's third goal was scored on an empty net.

Annunen continued his strong stretch of play in Monday's clash despite the loss, as he kept the Predators within one goal for the majority of the contest. Overall, the 26-year-old netminder has a 10-12-2 record, a 2.68 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. Over his past seven appearances, he's been elite with a 1.59 GAA and a .948 save percentage. With the Predators officially out of playoff contention, Annunen has a strong chance to appear in the team's season finale against the Ducks on Thursday.

Hofer made 28 saves in Monday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

The Wild grabbed a 3-1 lead early in the second period on a Michael McCarron shorthanded tally, but Hofer kept his cool and shut the door the rest of the way as the Blues took control. The 25-year-old has seized the top job in the St. Louis crease down the stretch, starting five of the last six games and going 4-1-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage.
