Fowler will guard the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues.

Fowler has been excellent to begin the 2026-27 campaign, as he's currently riding a five-game win streak. He'll be called upon for his third straight start in Tuesday's outing and has seemingly passed Jakub Dobes on the Habs' goalie depth chart. The 21-year-old Fowler currently has a 5-1-0 record, a 1.79 GAA, a shutout and a .924 save percentage across six appearances this season. He'll be matched up against the Blues on Tuesday, who were recently shut out by the Hurricanes. Fowler is an excellent start in all fantasy formats for Tuesday's clash.

Schmid will defend the road net against Winnipeg on Tuesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Schmid is coming off a 19-save effort in Sunday's 3-2 win over Chicago. He has won three of his last four outings, improving to 3-2-1 this season with a 3.34 GAA and an .872 save percentage in six appearances. Winnipeg (4-4-3) sits 29th in the league during the 2026-27 campaign with 2.45 goals per game.

Binnington will draw the home start in Tuesday's clash against the Canadiens, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Binnington has struggled to get things going in the 2026-27 campaign thus far, as he's been stuck behind Joel Hofer on the depth chart. The 33-year-old Binnington hasn't been inspiring with his performances either, as he currently holds a 1-2-0 record, a 4.67 GAA and an .831 save percentage across three appearances. He should be avoided in fantasy for the time being, but if he could pull off a win against the injured Habs, he could start trending back towards fantasy relevance.

Wallstedt will guard the road goal against Utah on Tuesday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Wallstedt is coming off a 23-save effort in Saturday's 5-1 win over Seattle. He owns a 7-2-2 record, a 2.08 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. Utah (8-4-0) ranks fifth in the league this campaign with 3.83 goals per game.

Vejmelka will guard the home paint in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Vejmelka won a narrow matchup against the Lightning in his last outing, which marked his fourth victory over his last six games. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has a 6-3-0 record, a shutout, 3.13 GAA and a .873 save percentage across 10 appearances. Despite allowing four or more goals in each of his last three outings, he remains a solid No. 2 starting option in fantasy for the time being. He'll face off against a high-powered Wild offense Tuesday, making him a boom-or-bust option in fantasy.

Hellebuyck will defend the road net against Dallas on Tuesday, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Hellebuyck will make his New Jersey debut in his first start of the 2026-27 campaign. The Devils acquired the star netminder from Winnipeg on Friday in exchange for Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad (pectoral), a 2029 second-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Hellebuyck posted a 23-23-11 record, a 2.86 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances for the Jets in 2025-26.

Saros is expected to protect the home net against the Islanders on Tuesday, per Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.

Saros is coming off a 34-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. He has a 3-2-3 record, a 2.82 GAA and a .908 save percentage in eight appearances this season. The Islanders (5-4-2) are tied for 19th in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.91 goals per game.

Reimer (upper body) was tagged as day-to-day Tuesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

After seemingly getting the hook due to early struggles in his Rangers debut Monday, it appears that Reimer sustained an injury in the contest, which likely played a part in the team's decision to pull him after the first period. He made five saves on eight attempts Monday, but wasn't credited with the loss due to the Kings' offense going off in a 6-3 win. Reimer is the third goalie for the Rangers to suffer an injury this season. However, the team doesn't play again until Sunday, meaning that he might not miss any time. If he can't go in New York's next clash, Spencer Martin will likely be called up to serve as the backup.

Talbot will defend the road net in Tuesday's clash against the Flyers, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Talbot put together a strong performance in his last outing, when he allowed just one goal to the Golden Knights in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win. Overall, the 39-year-old netminder has a 2-2-0 record, a 2.82 GAA and an .891 save percentage across five appearances. The veteran netminder has appeared to have won the favor of head coach Rick Bowness with Jet Greaves struggling to begin the season. Talbot is a strong streaming option in fantasy for Tuesday's clash against the Flyers, who are currently last in the NHL with 1.85 goals per game this season.

Stevenson will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Stevenson has lost his last two outings, allowing seven goals on 53 shots. He has a 1-2-0 record, a 3.09 GAA and an .893 save percentage in three appearances this season. Florida (6-4-2) ranks 22nd in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.83 goals per game.
