Woll gave up three goals on 34 shots in a 4-3 victory over the Avalanche on Monday.

Woll is riding a three-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.31 GAA, .958 save percentage and one shutout. With the Leafs in the midst of a back-to-back, Woll figures to get the night off versus the Mammoth on Tuesday, but should be back between the posts for Thursday's road clash with Vegas.

Ellis turned away 28 of 31 shots on net in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

With the game tied 2-2 entering the final period, Ellis allowed one even-strength tally before the Panthers buried an empty-netter near the end of the contest. With Monday's loss, the 25-year-old netminder now has a 5-4-0 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 10 outings this season. Since his return to the lineup from a concussion that kept him sidelined for the majority of December and the start of January, Ellis has a 1-1-0 record with a .921 save percentage across two appearances. With Alex Lyon (lower body) sidelined for at least a few more games, Ellis should get at least one more start in relief of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen as he tries to work his way into a more consistent role in the Sabres' crease. Ellis' next chance to take the ice is Wednesday against the Flyers.

Bobrovsky stopped 20 of 23 shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

Bobrovsky played with a lead for the majority of the contest and allowed just one goal in each period en route to his second straight win. With Monday's victory, the 37-year-old netminder is up to a 19-12-1 record with a 2.90 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 32 outings this season. While his play hasn't been what it was over the previous two seasons, he's done enough to earn his way into the win column nine times since Dec. 6. With the Panthers' offense coming to life in their most recent pair of wins, Bobrovsky should continue to benefit as long as he starts to trend towards a .900 save percentage on the season. His next chance to take the ice is Friday in Carolina.

Johansson made 20 saves in a 5-1 win over the Flyers on Monday.

Well, well, well -- look at this. Johansson has won three straight games, allowing eight goals (.895 save percentage) in that span. He's a goalie who can get the Lightning wins, but he struggles to keep his counting stats to the league average. At the same time, Johansson isn't a fantasy liability, so you can get him in your blue paint when you know he's the starter.

Vladar made 21 saves on 25 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Monday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Vladar played well, but his team was still shaken from Saturday's 7-2 loss to Bolts. It was his first regulation loss since Dec. 28, and he'd gone 3-0-1 in his next four contests. Vladar has been a very pleasant surprise for the Flyers. He's 16-7-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .907 save percentage in 27 starts this season, and he's already set a career mark for wins.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 17 shots during Monday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Kuemper entered Monday's game coming off a performance against the Jets on Jan. 9 in which he recorded just 11 saves on 16 shots (.688 save percentage) before being pulled after the second period of the loss. While he was forced to settle for a third consecutive loss Monday, he held the Stars' formidable offense in check for most of the game. Kuemper faced an early deficit after Wyatt Johnston scored 3:44 into the game, but the netminder didn't allow another goal until Jason Robertson potted the game-winner with 3:46 remaining in the third period. Kuemper has now gone 2-3-1 over six outings since the start of the calendar year, but he put forth a strong effort against the Stars despite the loss.

Oettinger turned aside 24 of 25 shots during Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Oettinger had been shaky in recent outings, going 0-2-2 with a 4.55 GAA and .835 save percentage over his last four starts. He entered Monday's matchup coming off his worst performance of the season, as he saved just 10 of 15 shots (.667 save percentage) in a loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 6 before being pulled in the second period. However, Oettinger bounced back against the Kings' lackluster offense Monday, and he earned his first win since Dec. 21. The Stars are slated to face Anaheim in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, and Oettinger will likely get a night off while Casey DeSmith draws the start.

Quick made 25 saves in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. He allowed three goals.

The Rangers gave Quick a two-goal cushion, only to see the Kraken roar back with four unanswered snipes. It was the third multi-goal comeback win of the season for the Kraken, with all three coming on the road. Quick is struggling through what might be the toughest stretches of his career. He hasn't won since Nov. 7, and he's 0-8-2 in his last nine starts (10 appearances).

Grubauer made 20 saves on 22 shots in a 4-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.

Grubauer is undefeated in regulation since Dec. 22, a span of six games (5-0-1). He has allowed just nine goals in that period, and he's rolling with a tidy 9-3-2 record, 2.25 GAA and .924 save percentage. Grubauer is a solid fantasy play who continues to alternate starts with Joey Daccord. His next outing is likely Thursday in Boston.

Montembeault will defend the road net against Washington on Tuesday, per Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Montembeault will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Jakub Dobes plays in Monday's home matchup against Vancouver. The 29-year-old Montembeault has won his last three outings while stopping 77 of 84 shots. He has gone 8-6-1 with a 3.39 GAA and an .869 save percentage across 18 appearances this season. Washington is tied for eighth in the league during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.26 goals per game.
