Vladar turned aside 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

A Cody Glass tally midway through the first period spoiled his shutout bid, but Vladar delivered another strong effort. Vladar picked up his third straight win and 27th of the season, nearly doubling his prior career high. If the Flyers hang onto a playoff spot, the 28-year-old netminder will need to stay in top form. Over his last 10 starts, Vladar has gone 7-2-1 with a dazzling 1.98 GAA and .919 save percentage.

Bussi made 16 saves in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

The Hurricanes looked like they were going to run away with the game after scoring three goals in just over three minutes early in the second period to take a 5-3 lead. However, Bussi still had work to do to secure his 30th win of the season. Carolina clinched the Metro Division title with the victory, and the team is four points clear of the top Atlantic clubs for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Bussi has won five straight starts despite a 2.99 GAA and .860 save percentage.

Oettinger stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Oettinger was beaten three times between the 12:38 mark of the second period and the opening 30 seconds of the third frame. However, the star duo of Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson turned things around for Dallas, allowing Oettinger to win in back-to-back starts for the first time since a four-game winning run between March 10 and March 18. Oettinger might be slumping a bit of late according to his lofty standards, but he's still gone 6-2-1 with a 2.43 GAA and an .899 save percentage over his last 10 appearances.

Korpisalo stopped 16 of 17 shots after replacing Jeremy Swayman midway through the second period of Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to Carolina.

Korpisalo was the better of Boston's two netminders on the night, but the loss goes on his record after the Bruins rallied from a 5-3 deficit. However, he still hasn't taken a regulation loss in over a month, going 2-0-4 in his last six outings with a 3.17 GAA and .890 save percentage.

Swayman gave up five goals on 23 shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo midway through the second period of Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Swayman avoided a loss after the Bruins rallied from a 5-3 deficit, but it was still a rough performance from the 27-year-old netminder. It was the first time Swayman allowed more than three goals in an outing since March 12. In his last 10 appearances, he's gone 5-3-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Cooley stopped 21 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

The loss means the Flames won't play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a fourth straight season. Cooley has gone 3-3-3 in 11 appearances since the Olympic break, posting a 3.40 GAA and an .893 save percentage. With five games left on the Flames' schedule and a back-to-back over the weekend, Cooley will likely continue to share the crease with Dustin Wolf down the stretch.

Shesterkin is expected to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Shesterkin has a 25-17-6 record, 2.50 GAA and .912 save percentage in 49 outings in 2025-26. He's gone 3-1-0 over his past four appearances while stopping 90 of 96 shots (.938 save percentage). Buffalo is one of the league's top teams with a 47-23-8 record. However, the Sabres have been a mixed bag recently, averaging 2.88 goals per game and posting a 3-3-2 record going into Tuesday's matchup.

Gibson halted 32 of 35 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Gibson kept Tuesday's contest competitive all the way until the shootout, where he allowed three tallies on five attempts in the losing effort. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder now has a 28-20-4 record, a 2.63 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 54 outings this season. Despite finding the win column just five times in his last 15 outings, Gibson has maintained solid numbers during that span with a .901 save percentage and a 2.77 GAA. He'll likely see a few more starts during the Red Wings' quest for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, giving him a chance to reach the 30-win mark for the second time in his 12-year NHL career.

Greaves turned aside 34 of 37 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Greaves kept the Blue Jackets in Tuesday's contest throughout regulation and overtime before making multiple saves in the shootout to claim the victory. With Tuesday's win, he is up to a 25-16-9 record, a 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 51 appearances this season. The 25-year-old netminder has been excellent down the stretch with a 2.18 GAA and a .920 save percentage over his last 10 starts. Greaves should continue to draw regular starts as the Jackets make a push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He's a strong fantasy option for the remainder of the regular season.

Annunen posted a 43-save shutout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks.

Annunen has provided decent goaltending lately. He's gone 3-3-0 over his last six games, but he's allowed just 10 goals on 195 shots over those contests. Annunen's shutout was his first of the season and third of his career. He's up to 9-11-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. Juuse Saros is likely to get the nod for Thursday's road game in Utah, and as long as the Predators sit on the playoff bubble, Saros will be the main man in the crease.
