Vasilevskiy made 28 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Auston Matthews beat him on a Toronto power play late in the first period, but Vasilevskiy was firmly in control the rest of the way. The 29-year-old netminder has gone 9-2-1 since the beginning of March with a 2.33 GAA and .918 save percentage, and he sits one victory short of his seventh straight 30-win campaign, a mark matched by Hall of Fame goalies like Ken Dryden, Henrik Lundqvist and Tony Esposito. Vasilevskiy still has a long way to go to catch Martin Brodeur's NHL-record 12 straight seasons with at least 30 wins, however.

Ingram stopped 31 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Ingram has gone 2-4-0 since the Coyotes returned to a strict goalie rotation. This was his best effort in a defeat in that span, but a Conor Garland goal within the final two minutes was the difference. Ingram is at 20-20-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 46 appearances. He's had strong moments this season, but the Coyotes are out of the playoff picture, so he's likely no better than a No. 3 option in most fantasy formats. Assuming the Coyotes continue to alternate their goalies, Ingram's next start would line up to be Sunday in San Jose.

Silovs stopped 20 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Coyotes.

The Canucks got blitzed in Vegas on Tuesday, but Silovs delivered a strong effort against a sneaky offense in the second half of a back-to-back. He's won both of his NHL appearances this season, allowing just three goals on 43 shots. Silovs' time in the NHL could still be nearing a close, as Thatcher Demko (knee) could be back as soon as Monday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Grubauer gave up five goals on 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

The Kraken had trouble generating any kind of offense in the first two periods, though they were able to put up a better effort in the third. It was too late to spare Grubauer from the loss, his first in three outings. He dropped to 12-14-2 with a 2.97 GAA and an .895 save percentage after this tough game. The Kraken wrap up their road trip with a favorable matchup in Anaheim on Friday.

Pickard allowed five goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Stars.

Four of Dallas' goals came in the final seven minutes of the second period while Edmonton failed to crack Jake Oettinger on the other end, sticking Pickard with a 5-0 defeat. The 31-year-old netminder had been playing well coming into Wednesday's outing, going 3-1-0 over his prior four starts with a .935 save percentage while earning more playing time behind Stuart Skinner. Overall, Pickard is now 11-6-0 with a .911 save percentage and 2.40 GAA on the campaign.

Talbot allowed two goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Talbot and the Kings never trailed in the contest, and they had all the offense they needed after two periods. After losing two games in a row, this was a good bounce-back effort for the 36-year-old goalie. He's now at 24-18-6 with a 2.47 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 49 appearances on the year. David Rittich will likely start Thursday in San Jose, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Talbot back between the pipes versus the Canucks on Saturday.

Oettinger stopped 35 shots in a 5-0 shutout win over the Oilers on Wednesday.

Oettinger was stellar Wednesday, turning aside 35 shots against a potent Edmonton offense, earning his sixth consecutive win and a second straight shutout. Oettinger's held opponents to two goals or fewer in each start during his winning streak, posting a sensational .955 save percentage in that span. The 25-year-old netminder improves to 31-13-4 with a .903 save percentage and 2.80 GAA this season. Oettinger will look for a seventh straight win Saturday when the Stars visit Chicago.

Ingram will protect the home goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday.

Ingram will take his turn in the Coyotes' goalie rotation -- he's won just two of his last five outings. In that span, he's given up 19 goals. Facing a formidable offense in the Canucks, Ingram shouldn't be considered a strong option for fantasy managers.

Grubauer will start in goal on the road versus the Kings on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

The Kraken will break their alternating pattern in goal, allowing Grubauer to start consecutive games after he's won his last two outings. He defeated the Sharks with 24 saves on 26 shots Monday. The Kings present a strong challenge though, making Grubauer a risky fantasy option in daily contests.

Talbot will protect the home goal versus the Kraken on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Talbot took a loss versus the Jets on Monday, allowing four goals on 32 shots. It was his second loss in a row, but those came against strong offenses in Edmonton and Winnipeg. He'll get a good chance to bounce back against the Kraken, who have an inconsistent and low-scoring offense.
