  • John Gibson G | DET

    Ducks' John Gibson: Back with team

    Gibson -- who missed Sunday's clash with the Lightning for personal reasons -- was back at practice Monday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Gibson's return to practice also saw Alex Stalock sent back to the minors in a corresponding move. The veteran Gibson is stuck in a four-game losing streak during which he allowed 22 goals on 132 shots. Based on the Ducks' previous rotation, Gibson figures to be between the pipes on the road against Seattle on Tuesday.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting Tuesday

    Lyon will guard the road goal Tuesday versus Washington, per Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site.

    Lyon is coming off a 31-save performance in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nashville. He has surrendered 30 goals on 235 shots during his eight-game losing skid. Lyon has posted a record of 18-16-2 this season with a 3.04 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 36 appearances. Washington is tied for 27th in the league with 2.71 goals per contest this campaign.

  • Devils' Isaac Poulter: Returned to minors

    Poulter was loaned to AHL Utica on Monday.

    Jake Allen (maintenance) didn't suit up in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Islanders, so Poulter served as Kaapo Kahkonen's backup. The 22-year-old Poulter has a 17-8-1 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 28 AHL appearances this season.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Tending twine Monday

    Binnington will patrol the home crease Monday against Vegas, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

    Binnington is coming off a 30-save effort in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over Minnesota. He has gone 25-19-3 this season with a 2.85 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 50 games played. Binnington has stopped 76 of 82 shots in two outings against the Golden Knights in 2023-24 en route to a 1-1-0 record. Vegas is tied for 14th in the league this campaign with 3.17 goals per contest.

  • Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Gets overtime win

    Johansson made 30 saves on 32 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks on Sunday.

    Johansson allowed a goal late in the first period, was perfect in the second and then kicked aside every shot after Pavel Mintyukov got one by him in the third. In overtime, Johansson did not face a shot from Anaheim. This was Johansson's first start since Feb. 25, as starting netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy has been a workhorse for the Lightning. Look for Vasilevskiy to be back between the pipes when Tampa Bay hosts the Bruins on Wednesday.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Falls in overtime

    Dostal kicked out 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning on Sunday.

    Dostal faced a light workload to start the game, turning away all five shots sent his way in the first period. He gave up two goals in the second period, bounced back with a strong third frame, but allowed the winner in overtime. The 23-year old netminder has only three wins in the month of March despite a solid .916 save percentage over that span. The Ducks are on the road against the Kraken on Tuesday.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Holds on for win

    Oettinger stopped 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.

    Oettinger was solid all night in a game that was back and forth until the Stars were able to score two goals late in the third frame, including an empty-netter, to get the win. This was the third start in a row for Oettinger, with three wins to match, and only two goals have been allowed per contest. Fantasy managers should continue riding Oettinger's coattails into the playoffs.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Enters game in relief

    Daccord allowed one goal on 11 shots after entering the game in relief of Philipp Grubauer during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Montreal.

    Daccord entered the game late in the first period after Grubauer allowed four goals on six shots. Daccord did his part, but Seattle couldn't get back into the game despite finishing with a 37-17 edge in shots. Seattle goaltenders might be best left alone by fantasy managers right now with the team slumping. Daccord has been complicit in the recent downturn, as he has just one win since Feb. 15.

  • Coyotes' Connor Ingram: Falls to Dallas

    Ingram stopped 31 of 34 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Ingram was the busier netminder on the night, facing 16 shots in the second period alone. The 26-year old goaltender allowed one goal in each period. Ingram has been splitting the workload between the pipes with Karel Vejmelka lately, so managers have to keep an eye out for which goalie will be starting each game for Arizona.

  • Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Stands tall against onslaught

    Primeau stopped 36 of 37 Seattle shots en route to a 5-1 win Sunday.

    Primeau has had peaks and valleys lately. In his last game, he allowed five goals on 28 shots. Before that, he posted a 41-save shutout. Montreal is allowing a lot of shots, and it's hard to predict if Primeau will save the day. In 16 starts this season, he's allowed four or more goals six times.
