  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Drawing road start Monday

    Reimer will start Monday's road game against the Rangers, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

    Reimer has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, as Monday's start will be his third since the Olympic break. However, he's been effective over a limited sample, winning both of his previous two outings while saving 33 of 35 shots in those games. The Rangers are generating 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the NHL.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Posts 26-save shutout

    Sorokin posted a 26-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Sorokin made 26 saves for his league-leading seventh shutout of the season, and the 30-year-old was at his best in a game where the Islanders needed him -- the Blue Jackets were on a 12-game point streak before this loss. Perhaps more importantly, Sorokin bounced back from Saturday's loss to the Canadiens, where he allowed six goals on 32 shots faced. Sorokin has conceded three or fewer goals in six of his last seven starts, going 4-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over that stretch.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Beaten once, tagged with loss

    Greaves stopped 21 of 22 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Islanders.

    Greaves was excellent throughout the game, but he couldn't stop Bo Horvat's snap shot at the 1:25 mark of the first period, and that would end up being the difference-maker in this game. The loss snapped Greaves' three-game winning streak, but the 24-year-old has been excellent of late either way. He has allowed just one goal in three of his last four games, posting a .937 save percentage over that span. Since the league resumed following the Olympic break Feb. 25, Greaves has gone 5-1-2 with a 2.39 GAA and a .907 save percentage across eight outings.

  • Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Another subpar showing

    Skinner allowed four goals on 25 shots faced in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Skinner has been slumping badly in recent weeks. He has dropped seven of his last eight starts since the beginning of February while operating in a timeshare with Arturs Silovs, and he's allowed at least four goals in three of his last four during that stretch. With a 3.53 GAA and an .876 save percentage over that eight-game stretch, it's hard to justify Skinner remaining as the No. 1 option between the pipes for the Penguins. Don't be afraid to look at other options to strengthen your goaltending depth ahead of the fantasy playoffs as well, as Skinner is simply not producing enough to remain in a starting role in most formats outside of the very deep leagues.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Won't play Monday

    Quick (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's home game against the Senators, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

    Quick is considered day-to-day after exiting Saturday's practice early due to an upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game while he recovers. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Wednesday in Toronto. Igor Shesterkin will start at home against the Senators on Monday, while Dylan Garand will serve as the backup.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Tending twine Monday

    Shesterkin will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

    Shesterkin will get the second half of the Rangers' back-to-back after Dylan Garand played in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to Winnipeg. The 30-year-old Shesterkin has lost his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 61 shots. However, he has a 22-14-6 record this campaign with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 43 appearances. Ottawa ranks ninth in the league with 3.35 goals per game this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Dennis Hildeby: Recalled by NHL club

    Hildeby was recalled from AHL Toronto on an emergency basis Monday.

    Hildeby has made 19 appearances for the Maple Leafs this season, going 5-6-4 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 save percentage. He'll provide additional depth in the net after Anthony Stolarz was struck in the throat by a puck during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup against Ottawa.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Beaten once in comfortable win

    Andersen stopped 18 of 19 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Andersen was coming off five straight outings in which he'd posted a save percentage below .900, so this was a nice bounce-back effort for the 36-year-old veteran. He should remain the Hurricanes' No. 2 option behind Brandon Bussi, though, meaning his upside for the fantasy playoffs will be limited and strictly matchup-based.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Falls to Preds in OT

    Knight made 30 saves on 33 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville.

    Filip Forsberg was his nemesis in this one, having a hand in all three of the Predators' tallies, including the OT winner on a gritty solo effort. Knight still has just one regulation loss in March, going 2-1-3 in six starts with a 2.76 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Collects OT win in return

    Saros turned aside 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over Chicago.

    Nashville twice had to rally from one-goal deficits in regulation, before Filip Forsberg potted the OT winner. Saros looked fully healthy after a brief two-game absence due to a minor upper-body injury. Sunday's win was his 25th of the season, the fourth time in his career he's reached that mark. The veteran netminder hasn't allowed more than three goals in a start since the Olympic break, going 4-2-2 in his last eight outings with a 2.70 GAA and .909 save percentage.
