NHL Player News

Lindgren is expected to start at home against Toronto on Wednesday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Lindgren has an 18-11-5 record, 2.59 GAA and .915 save percentage in 36 appearances in 2023-24. He's been fantastic lately, providing a 5-1-0 record, 1.34 GAA and .956 save percentage across his past six outings. Toronto is a difficult adversary, ranking third offensively with 3.57 goals per game. However, the Maple Leafs may be tired after playing Tuesday and will be missing Mitchell Marner (ankle), so Lindgren will at least be spared from facing the optimal version of the squad.

Gibson allowed four goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Wild.

After a clean first period, Gibson was tagged for three goals in the second while the Ducks failed to crack Filip Gustavsson on the other end, sticking Gibson with his fourth consecutive loss. The 30-year-old netminder had allowed six goals in each of his previous three outings -- he's just 1-5-1 with an ugly .856 save percentage in his last seven starts as he continues to lose work to Lukas Dostal. Overall, Gibson is 13-24-2 this season with an .891 save percentage and 2.40 GAA. It'll likely be Dostal between the pipes Thursday when the Ducks host Chicago.

Gustavsson made 27 saves in a 4-0 shutout win over the Ducks on Tuesday.

It's Gustavsson's third shutout this season and his first since Dec. 10. Tuesday's start was his first in Minnesota's last five games -- he'd struggled to a 1-2-1 record with an .877 save percentage in his last four outings while falling further behind Marc-Andre Fleury on the depth chart. Overall, Gustavsson is now 18-15-4 on the season with an .897 save percentage and 3.17 GAA. Fleury will be between the pipes Wednesday when the Wild visit Los Angeles.

Montembeault allowed three goals on 32 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.

Montembeault was solid for the most part Tuesday, holding a potent Oilers offense to just two goals in regulation. However, Leon Draisaitl eventually tallied the game-winner on a power play in extra time, sticking Montembeault with a second straight overtime loss. The 27-year-old netminder has dropped his last five starts despite posting a respectable .910 save percentage in that span. Overall, Montembeault is 13-12-7 with a .905 save percentage and 3.10 GAA this season.

Pickard stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory over Montreal.

After blanking the Canadiens through the first two periods, Montreal tied the game with a pair of goals early in the final frame. However, the Oilers would eventually pick up the win on Leon Draisaitl's power-play marker in overtime, giving Pickard his third victory in four starts. The 31-year-old netminder has been sharp in that span, posting a .951 save percentage and 1.49 GAA. Overall, Pickard's 10-4-1 with a .919 save percentage and 2.24 GAA while backing up Stuart Skinner this season.

Shesterkin turned aside 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg, with the Jets' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

After the game looked like it might become a goaltending duel between Shesterkin and Connor Hellebuyck following a scoreless first period, the Jets broke through for three tallies in the second. Shesterkin is just 3-3-1 through seven starts in March, but that lackluster record comes with a 2.28 GAA and .919 save percentage. He remains one victory short of his third straight 30-win campaign.

Hellebuyck stopped 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

The 30-year-old netminder has looked a little gassed at times this month, but Hellebuyck was sharp Tuesday as he picked up his 32nd win of the season. Through seven starts in March he's gone 4-3-0 with a 2.74 GAA and .917 save percentage, but he remains the favorite to take home the Vezina Trophy, sitting first in the NHL in both GAA (2.30) and save percentage (.923) on the season.

Allen made 36 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

The 33-year-old netminder has faced at least 36 shots in all three of his starts since joining New Jersey, but Allen seems to be thriving with the heavy workload. He's allowed only six goals on 111 shots (.946 save percentage) in a Devils sweater while going 2-1-0, and Allen appears to be set as the team's No. 1 goalie for the stretch run.

Jarry stopped 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

The game was 2-1 for New Jersey heading into the third period, but the home squad scored three straight goals against Jarry to begin the frame and blow it open. The 28-year-old netminder is having an awful finish to the season, giving up four or more goals in four of seven March starts while going 2-4-1 with a 4.35 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Reimer made 32 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Columbus jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but aside from a Kirill Marchenko power-play tally in the third, Reimer was stout the rest of the way and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. The 36-year-old netminder has been Detroit's best option in the crease since the All-Star break, going 4-1-0 over seven outings with a 2.48 GAA and .929 save percentage, and he appears to have worked into a timeshare with Alex Lyon.
