Levi will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Tuesday.

Levi's season-opening four-game winning streak ended with a 4-2 loss to Utah on Thursday. He has surrendered 14 goals on 137 shots in five appearances this campaign. Minnesota (6-2-1) ranks 16th in the league this season with 3.11 goals per game.

Ravensbergen was named the Big Ten's Third Star of the Week on Tuesday.

Ravensbergen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Michigan State University's 5-1 win over the Rochester Institute of Technology on Saturday. The 19-year-old goalie has won both of his starts this season, allowing just three goals in that span. The Sharks prospect will likely continue to see a decent share of playing time for the Spartans. He went 32-13-0 with four shutouts, a 2.51 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 46 regular-season games for WHL Prince George in 2025-26.

Vasilevskiy will defend the road crease in Tuesday's road clash against the Golden Knights, per Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

Vasilevskiy will look to keep trending in the right direction after picking up a win in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Kraken. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder has a 4-2-0 record, a 2.54 GAA and an .886 save percentage across six appearances. His save percentage has been held under .900 in each of his last three outings, but he's been able to pull off the win in two of those games, which bodes well for his fantasy profile moving forward. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner will face the Golden Knights on Tuesday, who boast the league's third-best offense with 4.10 goals per game to begin the new season.

Ivankovic was named the Big Ten First Star of the Week on Tuesday.

Ivankovic stood out as the University of Michigan swept the University of Denver in a battle between the two highest-ranked teams in the NCAA. He made 60 saves on 64 shots to win both games in the weekend series. On the year, the Nashville prospect is 6-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and a .933 save percentage through six games.

Hart will start Tuesday's home matchup against Tampa Bay, per SinBin.vegas.

Hart is coming off a 28-save performance in a 6-2 win over Calgary on Thursday. He is 4-2-0 this season and has stopped 143 of 157 shots in six appearances. Tampa Bay (6-2-0) is tied for 13th in the league with 3.13 goals per game this campaign.

Merilainen will guard the home crease in Tuesday's contest against the Hurricanes, per Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor.

After a three-outing stretch where he allowed just one goal, Merilainen has yielded three goals across each of his last three outings. Regardless, the 24-year-old netminder has far outplayed Kevin Lankinen in the 2026-27 campaign, which has led to the former securing the majority of opportunities between the pipes as of late. Overall, Merialinen holds a 1-1-1 record, a 2.51 GAA and a .925 save percentage across six appearances. He'll have his work cut out for him Tuesday against the defending champs, relegating Merilainen's fantasy value to being a spot start for fantasy managers in a pinch. If he can come out with the win Tuesday, Merilainen would be a priority waiver-wire addition for teams in all deep leagues.

Grubauer will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Sound of Hockey.

Grubauer has stopped 121 of 133 shots during his 2-1-1 start to the 2026-27 campaign. He has won two of his last three outings (2-0-1), allowing only nine goals on 101 shots over that span. Detroit (3-3-2) is tied for 27th in the league this season with 2.38 goals per game.

Hofer will protect the home net against the Jets on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Hofer is coming off a 34-save effort in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota. He has a 2-2-1 record, a 2.43 GAA and a .906 save percentage in five appearances this season. Winnipeg (4-2-2) is tied for 22nd in the league with 2.88 goals per game this campaign.

Swayman will tend the twine on the road against the Stars on Tuesday, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Swayman is riding a four-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.50 GAA and .948 save percentage. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, the 27-year-old backstop should continue to see a heavy workload ahead of backup Michael DiPietro.

Skinner will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues, per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Skinner will look to extend his unbeaten streak in regulation to six games Tuesday after narrowly losing a 4-3 battle to the Blackhawks on Thursday. Overall, the 27-year-old goalie has a 3-0-2 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage across five appearances to open his first season with the Jets. He's been more than serviceable between the pipes, and he remains a solid No. 2 goalie option in fantasy for the time being. He'll have his hands full on Tuesday, however, as the Blues currently rank 9th with 3.38 goals per game this season.
