Vladar stopped 18 of 19 shots on goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Vladar was beaten early in the third period by a Pavel Zacha wrister on the power play, but he looked excellent the rest of the way as the Flyers escaped with the OT win. Vladar has posted a save percentage north of .910 in three of his last four starts, and the 28-year-old goaltender is in form late in the regular season. Over his last 10 games, Vladar has gone 6-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and an .899 save percentage.

Korpisalo stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Korpisalo was beaten at the 4:19 mark of the first period and then held his own until overtime, when Porter Martone's first goal of the season gave Philadelphia the win. Korpisalo is the No. 2 option between the pipes for Boston, and while this outing was a strong showing overall, his recent performances haven't been good. In seven appearances since the Olympic break, the 31-year-old veteran has gone 3-1-3 with a 3.42 GAA and an .887 save percentage.

Hellebuyck is expected to get the starting nod at home versus the Kraken on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Since the Olympic break, Hellebuyck has appeared in 17 of the Jets' last 20 contests, going 8-5-4 with a 2.74 GAA. As long as the Jets have a chance at securing a playoff spot, Hellebuyck should continue to see the bulk of the workload.

Silovs turned aside 29 of 31 shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Silovs earned his third consecutive win on Sunday and his second win against the Panthers of the weekend. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder now has a 19-10-8 record, a 2.99 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. His first full campaign as a regular option in net has been a solid showing. He's been a large part as to why Pittsburgh is on pace to make the playoffs and should continue to see consistent starts while Stuart Skinner (upper body) remains out of the lineup. Silovs is a solid streaming option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Tarasov stopped 18 of 23 shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.

Tarasov got off to a slow start Sunday, as he allowed three goals in the first period while Florida's offense stalled. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder now has a 10-15-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. He struggled in the weekend slate, allowing eight goals on 35 shots to the Penguins over two games. Tarasov should continue to see regular opportunities down the stretch with Florida eliminated from the playoffs, but is a risky play in fantasy for the time being.

Blackwood stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Blackwood gave up a goal to Robert Thomas in each period, and that was enough to take the loss. Blackwood is winless in his last three outings, allowing 12 goals on 67 shots in that span. The 29-year-old dropped to 21-10-1 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage on the year. The Avalanche have no need to overwork either of Blackwood or Scott Wedgewood at this stage of the regular season, but Wedgewood has the momentum to see the majority of the starts in the playoffs if head coach Jared Bednar opts to ride with one goalie.

Hofer stopped 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.

Hofer needed to be big for the Blues here, and he was, winning his fourth game in five outings. A Robert Thomas hat trick gave Hofer the support he needed for the win. For the season, Hofer is up to 21-12-5 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 42 appearances. The Blues host the Avalanche for a rematch Tuesday, and while St. Louis has alternated goalies most of the time lately, Hofer's success against a tough foe could get him another start.

Lindgren stopped 24 of 32 shots in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Rangers.

Lindgren was playing for the first time since March 12, and the rust showed after serving as Logan Thompson's understudy for 10 straight games. This is a tough game for the Capitals to drop, as it makes their path to the playoffs that much tougher, and it will likely lead to Lindgren returning to the pine for at least three of the last four regular-season games. Lindgren is down to 9-8-3 with a 3.52 GAA and an .879 save percentage over 21 appearances this season. The Capitals' next game is Wednesday in Toronto.

Shesterkin stopped 20 of 21 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Shesterkin picked up his third win in four outings, and he didn't have to do a lot for this one. The Rangers' five-goal second period was the difference, allowing Shesterkin to cruise to the victory. He's up to 25-17-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 49 starts this season. While the Rangers are not in the playoff picture, Shesterkin seems likely to get a decent share of the starts to close out the season, as the team doesn't have a back-to-back left on the schedule.

Markstrom posted an 18-save shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Markstrom had lost his last two outings while sitting out three of the Devils' previous four games. He rebounded well, though the Canadiens didn't generate many chances in this contest. This was just the second time in 10 outings Markstrom has been able to limit an opponent to two goals or fewer. It's his first shutout of the season to go with a 23-18-1 record, a 3.04 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 43 appearances. The Devils' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Flyers. Markstrom and Jake Allen may share the crease to close out the campaign since the Devils aren't in serious contention for a playoff spot.
