Silovs made 30 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.

He'd like the goal back. Silovs dropped the puck late in the third after stopping a shot, and J.J. Moser was right there to poke it underneath him. Silovs did his part Tuesday, but he needs some help. The Pens have scored two goals (total) in three straight losses (0-2-1). Silovs is 4-1-1 in his last six starts, and he's 8-6-7 with one shutout, 3.06 GAA and .892 save percentage in 21 starts. He also has two rare goalie assists this season.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.

Both teams played well defensively, and the game could have gone either way. Vasilevskiy made several sharp saves to extend his personal winning streak to eight games. That matches John Gibson and Scott Wedgewood for the second-longest this season. Brandon Bussi has the longest winning streak this season (nine).

Hildeby will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Hildeby has won his last two outings, allowing just two goals on 46 shots in that span (one start, one relief appearance). The Mammoth have scored 13 goals over their last five games, winning three of them.

Saros will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros historically struggles against the Oilers, with a career 3-8-1 record, 3.49 GAA and .904 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Finnish netminder is 4-4-0 with an .896 save percentage over his last eight outings, but this is a matchup to avoid in fantasy.

Jarry will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Jarry was activated off long-term injured reserve earlier in the day and will make the start. This is the second half of a back-to-back for the Oilers, who won 4-1 over the Blackhawks on Monday. Jarry missed 11 games because of a lower-body injury, but it looks like he'll head a three-man goaltending committee in the immediate future.

Talbot will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Talbot hasn't appeared in any of the last five games, with John Gibson in goal for those contests with a 4-1-0 record over that span. The 38-year-old Talbot has won two of his last five outings, allowing 15 goals on 147 shots in that stretch, but it's clear he's in the backup role currently.

Lankinen will guard the road goal versus the Senators on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Lankinen will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Nikita Tolopilo played Monday in a 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. Lankinen is winless in his last three outings, allowing nine goals on 64 shots in that span, which makes him a risky fantasy option for Tuesday's schedule.

DeSmith will defend the road net against the Ducks on Tuesday, according to Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin.

DeSmith will get the second half of Dallas' back-to-back after Jake Oettinger played in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings. The 34-year-old DeSmith has a 10-2-5 record, a 2.48 GAA, a .911 save percentage and one shutout through 18 appearances this season. Anaheim ranks 11th in the league with 3.24 goals per game this campaign.

Hill (lower body) won't play in Wednesday's road matchup against the Kings, but he is nearing a return to the lineup, per SinBin Vegas on Tuesday.

Hill has been out since Oct. 20 against Columbus and could be an option for Thursday's home contest against Toronto. He has a 1-0-2 record while stopping 79 of the 89 shots he has faced in five appearances this season. With Carter Hart (lower body) week-to-week, Hill could seize control of Vegas' No. 1 goalie role once he receives the green light to play.

Dostal will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Tuesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Dostal has surrendered 29 goals on 194 shots over his last eight appearances (0-5-1). He has a 13-13-2 record this campaign with a 3.25 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 29 outings. Dallas sits third in the league with 3.41 goals per game this season.
