Woll made 33 saves in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings on Saturday.

Woll struggled in Saturday's loss. He was deep in his net and down too early way too many times. The Kings beat him on their first three shots of the third period in a span of 1:36. Woll has seen a lot of pucks lately, including at least 40 in four of his last eight starts while going 2-3-3 in that stretch. He may have just 15 wins this season, but his talent has delivered him a save percentage (.902), which is above the league average (.896). It's an impressive feat despite the struggles of his supporting cast.

Cooley stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

Cooley allowed at least three goals for the sixth time in his last seven outings, but he did well enough to get the win. The 28-year-old bent a little, allowing two goals in the middle of the third period before settling back in. He's up to 10-9-5 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 29 appearances. Cooley and Dustin Wolf have mostly alternated turns in goal lately, though neither has a favorable matchup ahead if that pattern holds. The Flames' road trip continues in Dallas on Tuesday, followed by a stop in Colorado on Thursday.

Kuemper made 14 saves in a 7-6 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

The Kings are clinging to the second wild card, but they have played like they don't want it, and Kuemper has been pelted with pucks lately. He was under fire most of the night, and he has allowed 15 goals in his last three games (1-1-1). His save percentage is a meager .786 in that span. Kuemper is a tough activation as long as the Kings continue to play firewagon hockey.

Petersen posted a 14-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 4-0 win over Rockford on Saturday.

Petersen is up to four shutouts this season. He improved to 12-15-2 with a 2.71 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 31 games. Petersen provides the Wild with goaltending depth, but he's unlikely to see significant NHL time.

Thompson halted 37 of 39 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

After struggling in Thursday's outing, Thompson was dominant in Saturday's contest from the second period onward. Overall, he now has a 28-21-6 record, a 2.52 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 55 appearances this season. The 29-year-old netminder has been a workhorse for the Capitals as of late, appearing in 16 of Washington's 18 games since the Olympics. He has a strong floor for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs and has a chance to reach 30 or more wins for the second consecutive season.

Ellis turned away 20 of 23 shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Washington.

Ellis entered Saturday's contest in relief of Alex Lyon and put together a fair outing despite the loss. Overall, Ellis now holds a 7-4-1 record, a 3.13 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 14 games this season. Saturday's outing was the 25-year-old netminder's first appearance since the Olympic break, and he should likely see some more playing time now that the Sabres have qualified for the playoffs. His next chance to take the ice is Monday's home game against the Lightning.

Lyon allowed three goals on five shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.

Lyon struggled in Saturday's contest, allowing two goals across 20 seconds early in the first period before surrendering a third just over two minutes later. He picked up the loss and ultimately pulled in favor of Colten Ellis. The 33-year-old Lyon now has a 20-10-4 record, a 2.77 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 36 outings this season. After posting a six-game win streak to resume play following the Olympic break, Lyon has struggled over his last three outings, going 0-2-1 with a 6.24 GAA and a .772 save percentage across three outings. His next chance to get back on track before the playoffs is Monday against the Lightning.

Swayman made 20 saves Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. He allowed two goals.

It was a tight contest -- the game was knotted 1-1 until the 14:29 mark of the final frame. Swayman is 2-3-0 in his last five starts (.906), but 8-4-1 with a sparkling .918 save percentage in 13 starts since he won gold with Team USA at the Olympics.

Greaves turned aside 23 of 25 shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Greaves received limited help in Saturday's loss, as he kept the Blue Jackets' net tidy across the first 38 minutes of regulation before Winnipeg's dynamic duo of Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele willed the Jets narrowly past Columbus with two goals. Overall, Greaves now holds a 24-16-9 record, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 50 appearances this season. In his first full season in the NHL, the 25-year-old netminder has been relied upon heavily, as he became the league's 14th netminder to appear in 50-plus games this season. He's done incredibly well down the stretch with a 2.34 GAA and a .912 save percentage across his last 12 appearances, allowing more than three goals just twice in that span. With the Jackets just outside of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Greaves should play regularly down the stretch, giving him a high floor for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in a 3-1 win over Boston on Saturday.

The game was tight; it was tied until the 14:29 mark of the third period. It was Vasilevskiy's league-leading 37th win. The game could be a preview of the first round of the postseason. Boston currently sits in the first wild-card spot. Vasilevskiy could use a rest heading into the postseason, but the team is just two points ahead of the Sabres for the top spot in the Atlantic. He may have to rely on the rest he got during the Olympic break as the team works to make sure they get the best matchup come playoff time.
