NHL Player News

Samsonov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Mark Masters of TSN, indicating he will patrol the home crease Monday against Pittsburgh.

Samsonov has won his past four starts, stopping 115 of 124 shots during that span for a .927 save percentage. He has picked up 17 of his 22 wins this season over his past 21 appearances. The Penguins sit 20th in the league this campaign with 3.03 goals per contest.

Wallstedt recorded a shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks on Sunday, stopping all 24 shots for his first NHL victory.

Wallstedt is getting a look at the NHL level with the Wild nearly eliminated from playoff contention. The club is currently carrying three netminders on the roster, so the 21-year-old Wallstedt is unlikely to get a significant workload down the stretch. Still, Wallstedt could challenge Filip Gustavsson as the presumptive goalie of the future for the Wild.

Subban picked up the loss in his NHL season debut in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Carolina, giving up three goals on 35 shots.

Subban last played in the NHL back during the 2021-22 campaign when he made four appearances for the Sabres. Once Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) or Daniil Tarasov (upper body) is cleared to return, Subban will likely be shipped back to the minors where he is sporting a 3.12 GAA and .901 save percentage in 35 appearances between AHL Cleveland and AHL Springfield.

Soderblom gave up four goals on 37 shots in a 4-0 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

Soderblom has allowed four goals in five of his last seven outings, posting a 3-4-0 record to go with a 3.69 GAA. Considering the Blackhawks are registering just 2.18 goals per game this season, the fewest in the NHL, Soderblom would have to be nearly perfect to put together some wins given the lack of offensive support.

Lyon recorded his 20th win of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sabres, stopping 37 of 38 shots.

Lyon has been enjoying quite a first full NHL season, going 20-17-4 with a 2.98 GAA in his 41 appearances. More recently, he's gone 2-3-2 with a .924 save percentage over his last seven games, facing at least 30 shots in each of those contests. The Minnesota native will likely continue seeing a heavy workload the rest of the way, including possibly starting against Washington on Tuesday.

Luukkonen allowed three goals on 24 shots in a 3-1 defeat to Detroit on Sunday.

Luukkonen has been absolutely grinding for the Sabres this season, playing in 32 of the club's last 37 contests. During that stretch, the netminder went 18-13-1 with a 2.32 GAA and .917 save percentage. Still, once Buffalo is officially eliminated from the postseason, the team could decide to utilize Eric Comrie more or bring Devon Levi up from the minors.

Andersen stopped all 23 shots he faced in Sunday's 3-0 win over Columbus.

Andersen bounced back from a loss against the Bruins on Thursday with his third shutout of the season. In his last nine appearances, the veteran backstop is 8-1-0 with a 1.22 GAA and .954 save percentage. Given the Hurricanes' goalie rotation, Andersen's next start will likely come against the Blues on Friday.

Georgiev stopped 30 of 36 shots in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Stars. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.

Georgiev has given up six goals in back-to-back games, and he's 0-2-1 with 18 goals allowed over his last four outings. The 28-year-old was done in by the Stars' power play, which tallied three times in the second period. For the season, he's at 37-17-4 with a 2.96 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 60 contests overall. Head coach Jared Bednar gave Georgiev a vote of confidence last Saturday, but the goalie is not doing much to reward that, which could lead to Justus Annunen getting more looks to close out the regular season.

Oettinger stopped 34 of 38 shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Avalanche.

Oettinger had his hands full with a strong opponent, but he helped the Stars get a key win to put them in control in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The 25-year-old has rattled off seven straight wins, and he's allowed a total of 11 goals in that span. Oettinger is up to 32-13-4 with a 2.83 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 50 appearances, but he's played much better lately than his season-long numbers would indicate. The Stars close out the regular season on a four-game homestand, which starts Tuesday versus the Sabres.

Dostal allowed five goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.

Dostal took his fifth loss in the last six outings, and he's given up a total of 21 goals in that span. This was his fourth straight game, as John Gibson (undisclosed) was out again. Dostal is 12-22-3 with a 3.47 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 41 outings this season. The Ducks will face likely playoff teams in three of their last four games, so Dostal will remain a weak fantasy play down the stretch.
