    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Takes loss despite strong play

    Wolf stopped 25 of 27 Buffalo shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss.

    Wolf emerged with a .926 save percentage Sunday as two of Buffalo's four tallies came with an empty net. Wolf's .900 save percentage on the season isn't impressive, but he's played well recently, with a .926 save percentage or better in four of his last five games. While there might be some value in his recent results, Wolf has also had some stretches of rough play this season, and Jacob Markstrom figures to get the lion's share of starts now that the Swede has recovered from a lower-body injury, at least until the Flames are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Stops 32 in win

    Luukkonen stopped 32 of 33 Calgary shots and picked up an assist en route to a 4-1 win Sunday.

    The netminder bounced back nicely after allowing eight goals to Edmonton in his last start. That loss was atypical of how Luukkonen has played recently. He's been at a .909 save percentage or better in 12 of his last 15 games, with a mark of at least .925 in eight of those starts.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Allows four goals on six shots

    Grubauer allowed four goals on six shots before being pulled in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Montreal.

    Grubauer didn't even make it out of the first period. He allowed goals on the first two shots and two more goals on the following four shots he faced. In his last start, he stopped 34 of 36 shots against Vegas. However, he allowed 11 goals in the three starts before that, never reaching a .900 save percentage in any of those games. Grubauer has been a roller coaster, and riding along can be nerve-wracking.

  • Flyers' Felix Sandstrom: Falls to Panthers

    Sandstrom allowed three goals on 14 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Florida.

    It was a tough outing for Sandstrom despite facing only 15 shots, as he allowed a goal in each period en route to the loss. The 27-year-old Sandstrom has struggled since he was recalled in early March to back up Samuel Ersson -- he falls to 1-2-0 with an ugly .823 save percentage and 3.87 GAA. The Flyers will look to bounce back Tuesday in a road matchup with the Rangers.

  • Panthers' Anthony Stolarz: Excellent in sixth straight win

    Stolarz stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 4-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday.

    Stolarz was nearly perfect Sunday, shutting out Philadelphia through the first two periods before allowing a lone power-play goal to Bobby Brink in the third. While Stolarz has seen limited work behind Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida, the 30-year-old netminder has now won six straight starts as he improves to 14-5-2 with a .927 save percentage and 1.97 GAA this season. Stolarz could see more action down the stretch as the Panthers look to keep Bobrovsky fresh for the postseason.

  • Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Struggles vs. Ottawa

    Pickard allowed four goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Senators.

    It was a rough outing for Pickard, as the four goals against were the most he's allowed in a start since Dec. 16. The Oilers held a 36-16 edge in shots, but Ottawa capitalized on its opportunities with three power-play goals before adding an empty-netter. Pickard falls to 10-5-0 with a .913 save percentage and 2.32 GAA while backing up Stuart Skinner this season. Edmonton will look to get back on track Tuesday in a road matchup with the Jets.

  • Senators' Joonas Korpisalo: Makes 33 saves in win

    Korpisalo stopped 33 of 36 shots in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Oilers.

    Korpisalo was the difference maker in the Senators' win, picking up his second win in as many days despite Ottawa being outshot 36-16. The 29-year-old Korpisalo has won three of his last four outings, posting a .900 save percentage in that span. Overall, he's 17-21-4 with an .888 save percentage and 3.33 GAA this season. Korpisalo figures to be back between the pipes Wednesday when the Sens visit Buffalo.

  • Joseph Woll G | PHI

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Stops 41 in defeat

    Woll stopped 41 of 43 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

    After allowing a pair of goals in the opening frame, Woll settled in and ultimately delivered a stellar performance, blanking Carolina over the final two frames while making a season-high 41 saves. However, the Leafs could only provide one goal in support, sticking Woll with a hard-luck loss. Still, it's an encouraging outing for the 25-year-old netminder, who had struggled to an .849 save percentage in his previous three outings. Overall, Woll's 10-8-1 with a .912 save percentage and 2.86. GAA this season. Toronto will be back in action Tuesday at home versus the Devils.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Wins sixth straight

    Andersen stopped 32 of 33 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

    A Nick Robertson tally midway through the third period was the only blemish on Andersen's ledger as the 34-year-old netminder picked up his sixth straight win since returning from a fourth-month stint on IR. Andersen's yet to allow more than two goals in a game during that span. Overall, he's 10-1-0 with a .924 save percentage and 2.05 GAA. Pyotr Kochetkov will likely start Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, lining Andersen up for a home matchup with the Red Wings on Thursday.

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Draws start Sunday

    Wolf will be stationed between the pipes for Sunday's tilt with the Sabres, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Wolf lost to Washington on March 18 in his last outing, coughing up four goals on 32 shots in the process. The rookie netminder is 3-4-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 10 NHL appearances this season. He's gone 2-2-0 with a .902 save percentage over his last five outings.
