NHL Player News

Vasilevskiy will protect the home net Monday against Buffalo, according to Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

Vasilevskiy is coming off a 30-save effort in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Washington. He has lost three of his last five outings, posting a .903 save percentage during that span. In 51 appearances this campaign, he has provided a 30-19-2 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Sabres sit 22nd in the league this season with 2.96 goals per contest.

Lindgren will be between the pipes for Monday's home matchup with Boston, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Lindgren has featured in 21 of the Caps' last 23 contests, posting an 11-8-2 record to go with a 2.92 GAA. With a back-to-back on the schedule, Darcy Kuemper will likely get the nod on the road versus the Flyers on Tuesday. Lindgren is 1-0-1 with two goals allowed on 47 shots versus the Bruins this season.

Allen will patrol the home crease Monday versus the Islanders, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Allen is coming off a 27-save effort in Thursday's 6-5 win over Toronto. He has a 12-17-4 record this season with a 3.43 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 33 appearances between New Jersey and Montreal. The Islanders rank 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.95 goals per contest.

Ingram allowed six goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Flames.

Ingram had his worst game in over a month, squandering leads of 2-0, 3-2 and 5-3 in the loss. The 27-year-old has won four of his nine games since the Coyotes resumed alternating starts between him and Karel Vejmelka. Ingram is now 22-21-3 with a 2.93 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 49 appearances. Vejmelka will likely get the nod in goal for the Coyotes' season finale at home versus the Oilers on Wednesday.

Wolf stopped 30 of 35 shots in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes.

Wolf won his third straight outing, but it wasn't a good showing for the 22-year-old. The Coyotes scored all five of their goals over the first two periods before Nazem Kadri flipped the script in the third with a pair of tallies. Wolf is now 6-7-1 with a 3.30 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. The Flames' last two games are at Vancouver on Tuesday and at home versus the Sharks on Thursday, and it seems like a safe bet Wolf will start at least one of them.

Mrazek stopped 30 of 33 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Mrazek helped the Blackhawks keep the game competitive, but he failed to protect a pair of one-goal leads, and Seth Jarvis' second goal of the game late in the third period was decisive. Mrazek dipped to 18-30-4 with a 3.06 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 55 appearances this season. The Blackhawks conclude the season on the road with visits to the Golden Knights on Tuesday and the Kings on Thursday.

Georgiev stopped 26 of Vegas' 30 shots during Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss.

Georgiev played well for the majority of the game, but Vegas scored three goals in the third before taking the OT win. His recent performances haven't been inspiring. Over the last six games, Georgiev has allowed six goals twice and four goals three times, causing him to be pulled twice. It will be hard for fantasy managers to trust him when the playoffs start.

Hill stopped 21 of 24 Avalanche shots during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win.

Hill got a win after Vegas rallied late in the game, but his .875 save percentage is indicative of his rocky recent play. In two of the previous three games, he posted an .800 save percentage, and he has sub-.900 marks in 11 of his last 15 starts. Hill raised his game last postseason to help the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup, but he hasn't been playing at that level with the 2024 playoffs around the corner.

Kochetkov stopped 14 of 16 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Kochetkov won his fourth straight start, though this wasn't the prettiest of performances for the 24-year-old. He's allowed five goals on 81 shots during the winning streak. Kochetkov improved to 23-13-4 with a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 42 appearances this season. He's started every other game since late February, so it's likely Frederik Andersen will get the nod versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday in the Hurricanes' regular-season finale.

Husso (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

Husso reportedly suffered a setback during his conditioning loan, so his status for the rest of the regular season is still unknown. The 29-year-old has appeared in just one game since Dec. 18 while dealing with multiple injuries. He's 9-5-2 with a 3.55 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 19 NHL games this season.
