Swayman made 18 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.

The Bruins rallied three times from one-goal deficits before Pavel Zacha gave the visitors their only lead of the game with less than three minutes to go in the third period. Swayman has allowed at least three goals in four straight starts and has a 2.85 GAA and .895 save percentage through six outings in March, but on the season he's up to 23 wins -- one short of the career high he set in 2022-23.

Blackwood surrendered six goals on 41 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.

Blackwood has lost his last three decisions, giving up 14 goals across four contests in that span. The 27-year-old hadn't faced more than 40 shots since Jan. 13, but the Sharks' defense is far from sturdy in front of him. Blackwood is at 9-20-3 with a 3.57 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. The Sharks' next game is Thursday in Minnesota.

Wedgewood stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Wedgewood got a spot start against a less-than-intimidating opponent. Outside of a frenetic second period that saw each team score three goals, Wedgewood did a fine job under a light workload. He's won his last three results while allowing seven goals across four games in that span. For the season, the 31-year-old is 16-6-5 with a 2.84 GAA and a .901 save percentage as Jake Oettinger's understudy. Expect Oettinger to be back between the pipes Thursday in Vancouver.

Patera made 30 saves on 35 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators on Tuesday.

In a high-scoring affair, the two goaltenders faced the exact same amount of shots but Patera was unable to make that extra save to come up with the win in overtime. The Golden Knights found themselves up 3-0 in the first period but the Predators battled back as they scored four goals in the final two frames, including three consecutive in the third. It was Patera's first start since Jan. 10 as he battles with fellow netminder Logan Thompson for playing time.

Merzlikins stopped 29 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.

Merzlikins just can't find a groove, allowing six goals in each of the last three games. He's surrendered 23 tallies during his five-game losing streak. The 29-year-old is at 12-17-8 with a 3.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 40 outings overall. The Blue Jackets have mainly rotated goalies over the last two weeks, so Daniil Tarasov seems likely to start Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Saros made 31 saves on 35 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

In a high-scoring affair, the two goaltenders faced the exact same amount of shots but Saros was able to save one more than his counterpart to come up with the win in overtime. The Predators found themselves down 3-0 in the first period but battled back, including Saros kicking aside the final 13 shots sent his way. Even though he only finished with a .886 save percentage, this was the fifth win in a row for Saros. He has not lost a game in regulation since Feb. 15 against Dallas.

Vejmelka stopped 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Vejmelka also picked up an assist on a Nick Schmaltz tally late in the third period. The 27-year-old Vejmelka has won three games in a row and allowed just four goals on 93 shots in that span. He's at 11-17-2 with a 3.24 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 33 contests this season. The Coyotes are back to an alternating pattern for their goalies, so Connor Ingram will likely start Thursday versus the Predators, lining up Vejmelka for Saturday's game against the playoff-bound Rangers.

Woll stopped 19 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Devils. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

The goaltending for the Maple Leafs has been a struggle and Woll did not make it any better. After a strong showing Sunday, in which he posted a .943 save percentage, he faced fewer shots on the night between the two goalies and still allowed five goals. It does not look like Toronto has decided who the No. 1 netminder is as they head into the playoffs, so fantasy managers will have to keep an eye out as the starters are announced for the remainder of the games.

Daccord posted a 12-save shutout in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

The Kraken's remodeled top line did the heavy lifting, and the 12 shots that got through to Daccord represented the lowest total the Kraken have ever given up in a game. The 27-year-old earned his third shutout of the year in the process, improving to 18-15-11 while snapping a personal four-game skid. He's added a 2.42 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 46 contests. The Kraken have alternated goalies for much of March, but Daccord may get the nod again Thursday in a rematch with the Ducks.

Gibson gave up four goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Kraken.

The duo of Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen each earned three points, while Gibson received no help from his teammates. This was Gibson's fifth straight loss, and he's allowed 26 goals in that span. The 30-year-old is at 13-25-2 with a 3.41 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 44 appearances. Given his recent play, fantasy managers shouldn't be relying on Gibson for anything close to acceptable performances at this stage of the season.
