Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy snapped a personal three-game losing streak with Saturday's victory. The triumph was his 29th of the season, which is second only to Utah's Karel Vejmelka, who has 30 wins. Vasilevskiy is fourth overall in the NHL in GAA (2.28) and save percentage (.914). He has been a superb fantasy option this season.

Skinner made 12 saves Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia.

Skinner is 0-1-3 in his last four starts; he has allowed 12 goals in that span (0.857). Prior to that, Skinner won eight of his previous nine games. He has a 2.63 GAA with Pittsburgh this season, which is about as strong as he's had at any point in his career. However, Skinner's .889 save percentage in black and gold is his worst result, other than in the single game he played in 2020-21.

Vladar made 20 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Vladar is 3-2-0 with 10 goals allowed in his last five games. He stopped all shooters in the shootout. Vladar is having the best season of his career. He's put up a 20-10-6 record, 2.40 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Daccord is slated to start at home against Ottawa on Saturday, per Circling Seattle Sports.

Daccord has an 18-13-5 record, 2.74 GAA and .906 save percentage in 36 appearances in 2025-26. He's gone 6-1-0 across his past seven outings while posting a 2.00 GAA and a .934 save percentage. However, Ottawa has been similarly hot, going 7-1-2 while averaging 3.80 goals per game over its past 10 matches.

Ullmark will protect the road goal versus the Kraken on Saturday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Ullmark will make his fifth straight start. He's gone 2-0-2 in his last four outings, allowing 10 goals on 100 shots. The 32-year-old netminder has a somewhat favorable matchup against the inconsistent Kraken. Seattle has scored just 11 goals over its last five games.

Thompson made 27 saves in a 3-1 loss to Boston on Saturday. He allowed two goals.

Thompson and Jeremy Swayman were both perfect in the first period. Thompson stopped nine shots that frame, and Swayman turned away seven. It was a bit of a duel all game long between the two netminders. The first goal Thompson allowed was a rebound battled out of the air during a second-period power play, and the second came on a breakaway. The loss ended his three-game winning streak.

Swayman made 22 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington.

The only goal Swayman allowed came on a goal-mouth rebound in the second period. He's on a personal two-game winning streak, allowing just one goal in each outing. He has a 24-13-3 record with a 2.80 GAA, a .906 save percentage and one shutout in 41 appearances this season. Swayman has been instrumental in the Bruins' current 12-game home winning streak, winning his last eight home contests. It's Boston's longest home winning streak since 2022-23, which was a 14-game run.

Bussi will start on the road versus the Flames on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Frederik Andersen helped the Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Oilers on Friday, and Bussi will start a day later. This is a favorable matchup for Bussi, as he draws a Flames team that sent Nazem Kadri to Colorado at the trade deadline. Bussi has won his last nine outings, adding a 2.22 GAA and .901 save percentage in that span.

Lankinen will tend the road twine versus the Jets on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Lankinen is looking to redeem himself after giving up four goals on 22 shots Wednesday versus the Hurricanes. The 30-year-old netminder will draw this start against another struggling team, though the Jets have improved recently by going 3-0-2 with 15 goals scored over five games since the Olympic break.

Dobes is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Saturday, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Dobes stopped 21 of 27 shots en route to a 7-5 loss to San Jose in his last start Tuesday. He's 19-6-4 with a 3.03 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 29 appearances in 2025-26. The Kings are tied for 30th in goals per game with 2.56, though Los Angeles is coming off a 5-3 victory over the Islanders on Thursday.
