  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Records 27-save shutout

    Ingram posted a 27-save shutout in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Blues.

    Ingram picked up his first shutout as an Oiler just a day after Tristan Jarry accomplished the same feat in a road win over Vancouver. The 28-year-old Ingram has gone 3-1-1 over his last five games, allowing just seven goals on 131 shots in that span. For the season, he's up to 5-3-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Ingram is likely looking at a timeshare with Jarry in the near term, though the Oilers also still have Calvin Pickard on the roster for now. Edmonton hosts New Jersey on Tuesday.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Gets no help in loss

    Binnington stopped 23 of 28 shots in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Oilers.

    The Oilers had a three-goal first period, and the Blues didn't have a response for that. Binnington has lost three straight outings, allowing 15 goals on 87 shots in those contests. Considering Joel Hofer has won his last two starts, Binnington looks to be slipping more firmly into the backup role at this stage of the campaign. Binnington has an 8-13-6 record with a 3.59 GAA and an .869 save percentage over 28 appearances. The Blues' next game is in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

  • James Reimer G | NYR

    Senators' James Reimer: Loses team debut

    Reimer stopped 30 of 34 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    This was Reimer's debut for the Senators. He was spotted an early 2-0 lead, but the Red Wings scored the next three goals before Shane Pinto knotted the score at 3-3 late in the second period. Alex DeBrincat got the last laugh, scoring 36 seconds into overtime to spoil Reimer's debut. For now, the 37-year-old goalie is slated to share the crease with Leevi Merilainen until Linus Ullmark (personal) is ready to reclaim the No. 1 job.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Secures sixth straight win

    Gibson stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    Gibson emerged with his sixth straight win, but this was his worst performance during the streak. The Senators led 2-0 just 5:05 into the game, but the Red Wings were able to bounce back. Alex DeBrincat had the winning goal in overtime to keep Gibson's streak alive. The 32-year-old goalie now has a 19-9-1 record this season, which is his most wins in any of the last six campaigns. He's added a 2.74 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 30 appearances. Look for Gibson and Cam Talbot to split the next two games, as the Red Wings visit the Maple Leafs on Wednesday and the Wild on Thursday.

  • Matt Tomkins G | EDM

    Oilers' Matt Tomkins: Shuts out Wranglers

    Tomkins posted a 33-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 1-0 overtime win over Calgary on Sunday.

    Tomkins earned his second shutout of the AHL campaign, which is the sixth shutout of his career. Tomkins has gone 11-5-4 with a 3.10 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 21 appearances. He's won four of his last six outings as well, and he'll likely see a starting role while Connor Ingram remains in the NHL.

  • Jiri Patera G | BOS

    Canucks' Jiri Patera: Back in NHL

    Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Sunday.

    Patera will swap places with Nikita Tolopilo, who was sent down to Abbotsford after a poor outing Saturday versus the Oilers. In the NHL this season, Patera has lost his only appearance, allowing seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to the Panthers on Nov. 17. He's gone 7-6-2 with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 16 outings in the AHL.

  • Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Dropped to AHL

    Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

    Tolopilo allowed six goals in Saturday's loss to the Oilers, and the Canucks decided to swap out goalies a day later. Tolopilo will head to Abbotsford while Jiri Patera was called up under emergency conditions to back up Kevin Lankinen moving forward until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again. Tolopilo will see more consistent playing time with the AHL club.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Set to start Monday

    Sorokin is slated to defend the road crease against Vancouver on Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin has been stellar since returning from a lower-body injury, going 3-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA, .942 save percentage and two shutouts over his last four starts. He made a home start against the Canucks on Dec. 19, turning aside 27 of 30 shots in a 4-1 loss.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Yields three goals in loss

    Oettinger stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Oettinger didn't get the necessary goal support to steer him out of a rough patch. He's lost six of his last seven games (1-3-3), and this was the fifth time in that span he's given up at least three goals. For the season, Oettinger is down to 17-10-4 with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 31 starts. The Stars' next game is at home versus the surging Bruins on Tuesday, who come into that game on a six-game winning streak.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Reaches 20-win mark Sunday

    Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

    Vasilevskiy allowed the first goal to Oskar Back at 4:00 of the first period, but that was the extent of Dallas' offense. The 31-year-old Vasilevskiy has won nine of his last 10 outings and hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 18 versus the Kings. The stud netminder has a 20-7-3 record with a 2.22 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 30 outings this season. The Lightning's next game is at home Tuesday versus the Sharks.
