NHL Player News

Forsberg stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Goal support continues to be a problem -- the Kings have scored a total of eight goals over Forsberg's last four appearances. The 33-year-old netminder is 1-1-1 in that span with nine goals allowed on 88 shots. Forsberg is at a 7-6-4 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Kings' next game is Tuesday versus the Rangers, and it doesn't look like Darcy Kuemper has lost control of the No. 1 job yet despite some recent mediocre play, so expect Forsberg to remain in the backup role.

Husso stopped 17 of 18 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

Husso had lost his last three NHL outings, but he was sharp against the Kings in this one. Adrian Kempe's power-play tally in the second period was all Husso let in en route to the win. Husso is up to 6-4-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .888 save percentage. He's filling the backup role while Petr Mrazek (lower body) is out, though Husso has had the better numbers of the two this season. In any case, expect Lukas Dostal to start Monday at home versus the Rangers.

Hellebuyck made 33 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday.

He's undefeated in regulation in his last four starts (3-0-1). Prior to this strong stretch, Hellebuyck went 1-6-4 in 11 starts since his Dec. 15 return from injury. He has allowed 13 goals in this improved four-game span, but the offense has bailed him out. Both the Jets and fantasy managers are desperate to see the underperforming Hellebuyck return to the expectations of his draft position.

HIldeby made 27 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Saturday.

Hildeby has won three of his last four outings while allowing only 11 goals on 117 shots. It's been a solid improvement from his previous five appearances, which saw him go 0-3-2 with 130 saves on 150 shots. He has a 2.96 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 18 games this season.

Annunen stopped 29 of 36 shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Nashville had the first and last goals in the contest, but the Golden Knights had no trouble besting Annunen in between those tallies. He was in it for the long haul after Juuse Saros guided the Predators to a win in Colorado on Friday. Annunen dropped to 4-6-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 14 appearances. It's unclear when Annunen will get his next chance to play, but the Predators don't have another back-to-back on the schedule until just before February's Olympic break.

Schmid stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

Schmid collected his fourth straight win, and he's allowed exactly two goals in each of those games. While not dominant, the 25-year-old netminder is getting the job done, giving the Golden Knights the luxury of not needing Adin Hill to play a full starter's workload after a lengthy absence. Schmid is now at a 15-4-5 record with a 2.45 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 25 appearances. Schmid won't get a lot of saves behind Vegas' steady defense, but he can limit goals against and rack up wins. The Golden Knights' next game is Monday versus the Flyers, and they open their road trip with a back-to-back featuring games in Boston on Thursday and Toronto on Friday.

Grubauer made 24 saves on 29 shots in a 6-3 loss to Utah on Saturday. The six goal was an empty-netter.

After a stretch of four wins with just one goal allowed in each game, Grubauer's game has loosened, and he's allowed 13 goals in four starts (1-1-2). Overall, he's put up some sharp numbers, including a .916 save percentage that is well above league average. He's 9-4-3 with a 2.45 GAA in 18 appearances.

Vejmelka made 18 saves in a 6-3 win over Seattle on Saturday.

Vejmelka has registered six straight wins for himself, and he's allowed just 10 goals in that span. He's 23-11-2 with one shutout, a 2.55 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 37 starts this season. In 2024-25, Vejmelka delivered a 26-22-8 record, 2.58 GAA and .904 save percentage in 58 appearances. The big 29-year-old has taken a step forward this campaign.

Jarry posted a 31-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

It was a close game in the first period, but the Oilers netted all six of their goals in the second. Jarry cruised from there, claiming his first shutout as an Oiler in the process. He's stopped 54 of 58 shots over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury, going 1-0-1 in those contests. He's now at a 13-3-2 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Jarry is the head of a three-goalie committee right now, so he'll likely get Sunday's game versus the Blues off before presumably getting the nod Tuesday at home against the Devils.

Tolopilo allowed six goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Oilers.

Kevin Lankinen was battling an illness, so Tolopilo was likely to see the whole game, for better or worse. It was worse this time, as even sans Leon Draisaitl (personal), the Oilers were able to ring up a huge second period to humiliate the Canucks. During his latest NHL stint, Tolopilo has surrendered 12 goals on 76 shots over two games. He'll likely be with the big club while Thatcher Demko (lower body) works through his latest injury. Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with 21 goals allowed on 177 shots this season and should be avoided in most fantasy formats.
