Demko will undergo hip surgery and miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign, the Canucks announced Tuesday.

According to the team, Demko's hip surgery is unrelated to the one from last season, and the backstop will be ready for the start of training camp in the fall. Still, the fact that the San Diego native will play less than 25 games for the second straight year is a concern for fans and fantasy managers alike. With Demko on the shelf, Kevin Lankinen figures to serve as the primary option for the Canucks moving forward.

Husso stopped 25 of 30 shots in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers. The other two goals were empty-netters in the third period.

Husso was beaten once in the first period and four more times in the second. He left the net with the Ducks chasing an equalizer late in the final frame, but the Oilers took advantage of that to score two empty-netters via Connor McDavid and Mattias Ekholm, who finished with a hat trick. Husso has been relegated to a firm No. 2 role behind Lukas Dostal but has dropped four of his last five starts, going 1-3-1 with a 3.78 GAA and an .871 save percentage over that stretch. Husso will remain as Dostal's backup as long as Petr Mrazek (lower body) remains on injured reserve.

Vasilevskiy stopped all 28 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over Utah.

Vasilevskiy has won his last four starts, and there's a strong argument to say he's been among the best -- if not the best -- goaltender in the NHL since the beginning of January. He's allowed 13 goals on 213 shots faced across nine starts, going 8-0-1 with a 1.41 GAA and an impressive .939 save percentage in that stretch.

Vejmelka stopped 27 of 29 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Lightning.

Vejmelka saw the end of his eighth-game winning streak Monday, but he wasn't bad by any means -- he just didn't have enough support from the offense in a 2-0 loss. Despite the loss, Vejmelka has been playing well over the last few weeks and has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in eight of his last 11 contests, a stretch in which he's gone 9-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .918 save percentage on 292 shots faced.

Wallstedt will start in Tuesday's home clash against the Blackhawks, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Wallstedt enters Tuesday's contest with three consecutive losses, which is the longest losing streak of his rookie campaign. In that span, he has a 5.66 GAA and an .817 save percentage. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder has a 12-5-4 record, a 2.71 GAA, a .912 save percentage and four shutouts across 21 outings this season. With Filip Gustavsson beginning to see more frequent starts, Wallstedt will likely start seeing a true backup's workload for the time being if he can't turn things around quickly. Luckily for him, he will face a Blackhawks offense that ranks 27th with 2.65 goals per game this season, making Tuesday's game a strong bounce-back opportunity for the young goaltender.

Sorokin made 21 saves in Monday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.

The shutout was his NHL-leading sixth of the season, and three of them have come in January. Since returning from a lower-body injury at the beginning of the month, Sorokin has gone 5-2-0 in seven starts with a dazzling 2.02 GAA and .935 save percentage.

Quick stopped 21 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins. He also added an assist on Matthew Robertson's game-winner.

Boston took a 3-2 lead midway through the second period, but Quick shut the door the rest of the way and actually got some support from the Rangers' offense. It was the netminder's first win since Nov. 7, snapping a brutal 0-10-2 stretch, and the victory was also the 408th of his career -- breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Glenn Hall and moving Quick into sole possession of 12th place on the NHL's all-time list. The 40-year-old might have trouble climbing any higher, however, as next up in 11th place is Tony Esposito with 423 wins.

Korpisalo made 24 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

The Bruins took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Will Borgen deflected a shot off Andrew Peeke's back past the netminder in the third, and then Matthew Robertson slipped the puck through Korpisalo's five-hole with just over a minute left in OT. Korpisalo remains without a regulation loss in January, going 4-0-1 in six outings with a 1.89 GAA and a .931 save percentage as he pushes his way into a timeshare with Jeremy Swayman in the Boston crease.

Woll will start Tuesday's home matchup with the Sabres, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Despite losing each of his last two outings, Woll has stepped up his game with a 2.51 GAA and a .935 save percentage across the pair of starts. Entering Tuesday's contest, the 27-year-old netminder has an 11-6-4 record, a 2.86 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 22 appearances this season. Tuesday's clash with the Sabres will make returning to the win column difficult for Woll, as Buffalo ranks seventh in the NHL with 3.31 goals per game this season. While he is a risky start in fantasy, he also holds high upside with 72 saves over his last two outings.

Bobrovsky will start Tuesday's home clash with the Mammoth, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

After resting for the second half of Florida's most recent back-to-back, Bobrovsky will look for his second consecutive victory after a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday. Overall, the 37-year-old netminder has a 20-14-1 record, a 3.08 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 35 appearances this season. He'll face a middle-of-the-road Mammoth offense that is scoring 3.13 goals per game this season. Utah was shut out by Tampa Bay on Monday, which could give Bobrovsky the edge in Tuesday's matchup with the Mammoth on the second half of a back-to-back.
