Allen made 32 saves in a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday while allowing four goals.

Allen did all he could upon his arrival from Montreal, but ultimately his mates couldn't score enough to carry the team to the postseason. Allen is 5-5-1 in 11 appearances with the Devils, delivering a 2.86 GAA and .911 save percentage in that span. At this point, Allen is expected to be part of New Jersey's goalie tandem in 2024-25, especially with Montreal retaining 50 percent of his $3.85 million salary.

Saros allowed four goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Winnipeg got to Saros early, scoring three times in the first period. The 28-year-old netminder would rebound to blank the Jets through the final two periods while Nashville tied the game 3-3, though he'd ultimately surrender the game-winning goal to Kyle Connor 1:52 into overtime. Saros had won seven of his previous nine starts, posting a .915 save percentage in that span. He falls to 34-23-5 with a .907 save percentage and 2.82 GAA on the season. The Preds, who clinched a playoff spot with the overtime point, are off until Friday when they'll visit Chicago.

Hellebuyck stopped 45 of 48 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators.

Hellebuyck was stellar Tuesday, allowing just one goal on 36 shots through the first two periods. However, Nashville broke through with a pair of goals in the third to force overtime before Kyle Connor scored the game-winner in the extra frame, giving Hellebuyck a third straight win -- he's allowed six goals on 108 shots in that span. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder is 35-19-4 with a .920 save percentage and 2.42 GAA on the season. The Jets are back in action Thursday on the road in Dallas.

Luukkonen allowed three goals on 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Stars on Tuesday.

It's the second straight loss for Luukkonen -- he's allowed six goals on 49 shots in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder is 26-22-3 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.58 GAA on the season. Luukkonen figures to be back between the pipes Thursday when the Sabres host Washington.

Oettinger stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

It was a rocky start for Oettinger, who allowed two goals early in the first period, but he'd settle in and blank Buffalo over the final two frames en route to an eighth straight win. The 25-year-old Oettinger's posted a .939 during his streak. He improves to 33-13-4 on the season with a .903 save percentage and a 2.81 GAA this season. The Stars are back in action Thursday at home against Winnipeg.

Woll made 18 saves in a 5-2 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.

Woll's game remains a work in progress since his return from injury. Ilya Samsonov has been strong and is the top dog heading into the postseason. Woll remains the Leafs' future and could be in the net during the playoffs if Samsonov hits a speed wobble.

Patera was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Patera's reassignment suggests Adin Hill (lower body) may be available Wednesday versus the Oilers. Patera hasn't played an NHL game since March 26 while serving as backup to Logan Thompson.

Gibson (upper body) won't dress for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Gibson was expected to serve as backup, but he instead will fully rest again. Lukas Dostal will start and Alex Stalock will be the backup for at least one more game.

Luukkonen will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Luukkonen was involved in a collision with teammate Rasmus Dahlin early in warmups, but it appears no harm was done. Luukkonen has allowed 23 goals over his last seven contests, and it's unlikely to be easier for him against a Stars team that leads the Western Conference.

Bobrovsky won't start Tuesday's home game against Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bobrovsky was originally slated to start versus the Senators, but Anthony Stolarz will play instead. It may just be a scheduling change between the two netminders, which could place Bobrovsky in net for Thursday's home matchup against Columbus.
