Oettinger recorded a 17-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

It was a low-event game early on, but the Stars had the better of play and eventually cashed in. Oettinger has won five starts in a row, allowing just seven goals overall in that span. Fantasy managers frustrated by his inconsistency this season can be happy he's found his game at the right time. Oettinger improved to 30-13-4 with a 2.87 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 48 appearances. The Stars are set for a tough challenge when they host the Oilers on Wednesday.

Daccord stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Daccord had a shutout in his last start, but he was on the other side this time as the Kraken couldn't solve the Stars' defense or Jake Oettinger. This was Daccord's fourth regulation loss in his last seven outings. The 27-year-old dropped to 18-16-11 with a 2.42 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 47 appearances. The Kraken have a three-game road trip through California up next, beginning Monday in San Jose.

Vejmelka made 24 saves in an 8-5 loss to the Rangers. He allowed six goals.

He went into the third locked in a 3-3 tie, but his team collapsed early in the third and allowed three consecutive goals before his mates made a game of it. Vejmelka had come into Saturday on a three-game winning streak (four total goals allowed). If the Coyotes follow their recent pattern of alternating starters, Vejmelka will suit up Friday against Vegas. That's a rough matchup, so find another option for next week's games.

Lindgren allowed two goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Lindgren was the busier goalie on the night and continued to turn away the majority of Boston's shots, including all three in overtime. Although the Capitals lost in the shootout, Lindgren had a solid .931 save percentage on the night. During the month of March, Lindgren has nine wins, four losses and an overtime defeat in 14 games. Lindgren continues to emerge as the surprise No. 1 goaltender for the Capitals, stealing the net from veteran Darcy Kuemper.

Quick made 27 saves for his 392nd NHL win in an 8-5 victory over Arizona on Saturday.

The victory moved Quick past Ryan Miller for the most-ever by an American-born goaltender. The 38-year-old Quick has gone 17-5-2 this season, winning four straight contests and emerging victorious in eight of his past nine outings. He's been the perfect backup to Igor Shesterkin, and together, they have helped the Rangers become the first team to 50 wins this season.

Swayman stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.

Swayman faced very few shots in the contest but had to be sharp in overtime as he kicked aside all four sent his way. The Bruins ended up victorious in the shootout, and Swayman concluded the night with a .900 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder continues to alternate games with Linus Ullmark, so fantasy managers will need to adjust their rosters accordingly.

Nedeljkovic stopped 35 of 38 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Nedeljkovic played well Saturday, carrying a 2-1 lead into the third period. However, Columbus would tally a pair of goals to tie the game at 3-3 in the final frame before ultimately handing Nedeljkovic a loss in the shootout. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has started Pittsburgh's last four games, going 2-1-1 with a .917 save percentage in that span. He's 12-6-6 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA this season.

Merzlikins stopped 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Penguins.

Merzlikins was sharp Saturday, turning aside 30 shots in regulation before earning the win in a five-round shootout. It's the first win since March 2 for the 29-year-old Merzlikins -- he'd dropped five outings while allowing six goals in each of his previous three starts. Merzlikins improves to 13-17-8 on the season with an .897 save percentage and a 3.45 GAA. Daniil Tarasov figures to get the start Monday versus Colorado, lining up Merzlikins for a home matchup with the Islanders on Thursday.

Korpisalo stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Korpisalo allowed a goal in each of the final two frames, including a power-play snipe in the third, but he played better as the contest progressed, even with the Jets having an extra attacker in the final 1:31 of the game. Korpisalo has won four straight contests, allowing two goals three times during that span. With his recent string of starts and wins, Korpisalo appears to have solidified himself as the No. 1 netminder for the Senators.

Ersson allowed five goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chicago.

It was another tough night for Ersson -- he's now lost three straight starts while struggling to an .803 save percentage in that span. The 24-year-old netminder may be hitting a wall in his first season as an NHL starter. Ersson is now 21-16-7 on the campaign with an .892 save percentage and 2.79 GAA. The Flyers will look to snap their losing streak Monday when they host the Islanders.
