  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Needed in relief Tuesday

    Greaves turned aside 12 of 13 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins (illness) to begin the second period in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

    Ridly Greig tucked the puck past Greaves early in the third period on a rush chance, but the Columbus netminder kept things close after entering the contest with his team down 2-1. Greaves has had a couple of bumpy outings in January, going 3-2-1 over seven appearances with a 3.01 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Expected to start Wednesday

    Wedgewood is slated to start Wednesday's home game against the Ducks, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Wedgewood will look to extend his win streak to three games after he posted a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage over his last two outings. The 33-year-old netminder has been elite this season with a 20-3-4 record, a 2.19 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Anaheim is riding a four-game winning streak and ranks 13th in the NHL with 3.22 goals per game this season.

  • James Reimer G | NYR

    Senators' James Reimer: Nabs first win with Ottawa

    Reimer made 21 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    The 37-year-old netminder picked up his first win of the season in his second start for the Senators. Reimer has allowed five goals on 56 shots in his first two outings and will get a look as the No. 1 in net for Ottawa while Linus Ullmark (personal) remains unavailable. Hunter Shepard is currently the backup on the Senators' roster after Leevi Merilainen went to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Drawing start against Pittsburgh

    Wolf will start Wednesday's home game against the Penguins, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Wolf has alternated starts with Devin Cooley over the past few games. Wolf made 28 saves in a 4-2 win over the Islanders on Saturday, ending his five-game losing streak. Pittsburgh has produced 3.23 goals per game this season, which ranks 12th in the NHL.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Strong showing in relief

    Annunen stopped all 13 shots he faced in relief in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

    Annunen entered the game in the second period after Juuse Saros allowed four goals on 18 shots. Annunen has limited upside as the backup netminder this season, but he can be a decent matchup-based streaming option at times.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Tagged with loss Tuesday

    Saros picked up the loss in Tuesday's 5-3 defeat against the Sabres. He stopped 14 of 18 shots before being pulled in the second period.

    It was a disastrous outing for Saros, who's now allowed three or more goals in each of his last three outings. However, he did emerge victorious in his previous two contests. He's been inconsistent of late and owns a 4-4-0 record through eight starts in January while posting a 3.35 GAA and an .892 save percentage over that stretch.

  • Joseph Woll G | PHI

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Set to face Detroit

    Woll is set to start at home against Detroit on Wednesday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

    Woll will attempt to rebound after allowing 11 goals on 62 shots (.823 save percentage) across his past two outings. He's 11-5-3 with a 2.90 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. Detroit has won six of its past seven games to elevate its record to 30-16-4 this season. The Red Wings have averaged 3.71 goals per game across that seven-game stretch.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Wins in return to action

    Lyon stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

    Lyon made his first appearance since Dec. 29 after missing nine games with a lower-body injury and being the backup of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday against the Hurricanes. Despite the absence, Lyon continued his superb run with his eighth straight win. During that span, he has posted a 2.32 GAA and an impressive .918 save percentage.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Gives up four goals in loss

    Quick allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

    Quick was playing in what could be his last game in Los Angeles, the city he called home for the first 16 years of his NHL career. His old team got the better of him in this one, extending the veteran netminder's losing streak to 12 outings (0-10-2). He's now at a 3-11-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Spencer Martin has started to push Quick for playing time while the Rangers await the return of Igor Shesterkin (lower body). The Rangers' road trip wraps up Friday against the Sharks.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Relieves injured Kuemper in win

    Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Forsberg entered the game late in the first period after Kuemper left following some contact in the crease. The 33-year-old Forsberg was excellent over the final two frames, limiting the Rangers to only J.T. Miller's goal with 27 seconds left in the third period. Should Kuemper miss time, Forsberg would resume the No. 1 role as he did for a couple of weeks in December during Kuemper's previous absence. With the win, Forsberg is up to 8-6-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next matchup is Saturday in St. Louis to begin a six-game road trip, so fantasy managers have some time to see how Kuemper's injury situation plays out before rushing to add Forsberg.
