Gustavsson stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Gustavsson had a shutout bid deep into the third period, but Blake Lizotte broke it up with 5:24 left in the game. The 25-year-old Gustavsson held on for the win, his first since March 28. The Swede was able to get to the 20-win mark for the second year in a row, but it was a challenging campaign. He's 20-18-4 with a 3.11 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 45 appearances this season. Marc-Andre Fleury is scheduled to start the season finale Thursday versus the Kraken, so Gustavsson is likely done for the campaign.

Romanov stopped 16 of 17 shots in relief of Devin Cooley in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.

Edmonton eased up after chasing Cooley from the game, though Romanov also put in a solid effort. The 24-year-old has a 3.14 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 29 AHL outings this year, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much from him during his first taste of the NHL. It's unclear if Romanov will be given his first NHL start Thursday in Calgary.

Cooley allowed eight goals on 22 shots in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.

Cooley was pulled just over halfway through the second period, but the game was already long over at that point. The 26-year-old has given up 20 goals over five appearances this season while recording a 2-2-1 record at the NHL level. If he gets the starting nod, Cooley won't be a particularly strong fantasy option for Thursday's game versus the Flames, but it would at least be a better matchup than Monday's was.

Skinner stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

The Oilers erupted for four goals in the first period and followed it up with a five-goal second, giving Skinner one of his easiest wins of the year. The 25-year-old has won five of his last seven outings, giving up 14 goals in that span. He's at 36-15-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 58 appearances this season. The Oilers have a road back-to-back left on the schedule with stops in Arizona on Wednesday and Colorado on Thursday, so both Skinner and Calvin Pickard should be penciled in for one more start in the regular season.

Shesterkin recorded a 26-save shutout in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

Shesterkin helped the Rangers secure the Presidents' Trophy, and he did so in style. The 28-year-old won has seven of his last nine contests, allowing 23 goals on 267 shots in that span, good for a .914 save percentage. Shesterkin concludes the regular season at 36-17-2 with four shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 55 starts. He'll almost certainly be between the pipes for Game 1 of the playoffs, but there are still four teams in contention to be the Rangers' first-round opponent.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.

While Korpisalo's poor play was often part of the problem for the Senators this season, three of his last four losses were largely because the team in front of him didn't score. This was likely the 29-year-old's last game of the campaign -- if that holds true, he finishes with a 21-26-4 record, a 3.27 GAA and an .890 save percentage in a career-high 55 games in the first season of a five-year contract. The Senators' season finale is Tuesday in Boston, a game Anton Forsberg is likely to start.

Lyon allowed four goals on 21 shots during Monday's 5-4 overtime win against Montreal.

Lyon shouldered the heaviest workload of his NHL career this season, going 21-18-5 through 44 games. His .904 save percentage is the result of his roller-coaster play, which can even been seen in recent games. Following two strong games, he has allowed 10 goals on 48 shots over his last two outings. James Reimer is projected to start Tuesday's regular-season finale in Montreal.

Saros allowed four goals on 38 shots during Monday's 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

While Saros remains one of the most respected goaltenders in the NHL, he's allowed a total 12 goals over the last three games and hasn't posted a save percentage above .895. He's helped Nashville lock in a wild card spot, but it's not an inspiring run as the playoffs loom, where the Predators will face either the Canucks or the Stars.

Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 30 Nashville shots en route to a 4-2 win Monday.

The Penguins have leaned heavily on Nedeljkovic down the stretch, and he played well until recently. In the four starts prior to Monday's game, he never had a better save percentage than .882, got pulled once and allowed a total of 15 goals. Monday's strong performance helped the Penguins get a crucial win as the team vies for the last wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Skinner will get the starting nod at home against the Sharks on Monday, per the NHL's media site.

Skinner stopped 24 of 26 shots in a tough-luck loss to Vancouver in his last appearance. He's 4-1-1 over his last six outings with an impressive 2.00 GAA during that span. On the year, Skinner has gone 35-15-5 with a 2.58 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 57 games.
