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.

Soderblom stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Soderblom was spotted a 2-0 lead in the first period, but it was gone by the end of the second. The Bruins didn't let up in the third, sending Soderblom to his first loss since Dec. 20. The 26-year-old netminder has gone 5-8-1 with a 3.97 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 15 appearances, numbers that make him virtually unplayable in most fantasy formats. He'll continue to occupy the backup role behind Spencer Knight, who will likely start at home against the Jets on Monday.

Korpisalo stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Korpisalo allowed two goals in the first period, but he shut the door after that to earn his third straight win. He's allowed just three goals on 80 shots during the winning streak. For the season, the Finnish netminder is up to 9-8-0 with a 3.13 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 18 appearances. Korpisalo is getting a decent share of playing time for a backup, but Jeremy Swayman remains Boston's main man in the crease and will likely start Tuesday in Dallas.

Ersson made 22 saves in relief in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Starter Aleksei Kolosov allowed three goals on three shots in a 1:20 span in the first period, but Ersson took the loss. The Flyers are on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1) while being outscored by the opposition by a 31-12 margin. Ersson is 0-4-0 with 15 goals allowed during that run.

Kolosov was pulled Saturday after giving up three goals on three shots in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

The Flyers fell apart around Kolosov, and he had no answers whatsoever. The Rangers scored three goals in 1:20 against him. This is the kind of outing that could break a player. It's hard to imagine the Flyers turning back to Kolosov. Ouch.

Ostman posted a 28-save shutout in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-0 win over San Diego on Saturday.

Ostman is up to 8-6-2 on the season, adding a 2.95 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 16 outings. The shutout was his first of the season and the second of his AHL career. The Swedish goalie is likely to spend all of 2025-26 in the AHL.

Martin made 25 saves in a 6-3 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

It was Martin's first start of the season. He has appeared in relief in two other games. Jonathan Quick has really scuffled lately, and Igor Shesterkin (lower body) is on the injured reserve list. The Rangers are retooling, according to president and general manager Chris Drury, and they can use every ounce of strong netminding they can get. It's a tough spot to be in, and Martin will likely head back to the minors when Shesterkin returns, but in the short term, the team may reward Martin with another start because of the win. The Rangers have to start somewhere. They're 2-6-2 in the last 10, and they need the hottest hand in net.

Miner notched a 35-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Henderson on Saturday.

This was Miner's first shutout in 12 appearances at the AHL level this season. Due to various injuries to the Avalanche's goalies, he's spent a lot of time in the backup role in the NHL. He's 8-2-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .919 save percentage in the AHL, so he's more than capable of handling the responsibility of being Colorado's organizational No. 3 goalie.

DiPietro recorded a 21-save shutout in AHL Providence's 5-0 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

This was DiPietro's fifth win in his last six outings, and it's also his first shutout of the season. He's now at a 15-5-0 record with a 1.74 GAA and a .938 save percentage over 21 appearances. If the Bruins grow tired of Joonas Korpisalo in the backup role, DiPietro could be ready for a longer look at the NHL level, where he hasn't played since 2021-22.

Husso will draw the home start versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Husso will handle the second half of this back-to-back set after Lukas Dostal came away with a win Friday over the Kings. The 30-year-old Husso allowed four goals on 34 shots in his previous start versus the Hurricanes on Jan. 8. He continues to serve as the Ducks' backup while Petr Mrazek (lower body) is on the shelf.
