  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Takes first loss of season

    Ingram allowed three goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

    Ingram wasn't able to replicate his 18-save effort from Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Flames in Edmonton. The 28-year-old has allowed seven goals on 82 shots over his three starts so far, which have all come in a row. Calvin Pickard has lost the trust of head coach Kris Knoblauch, but the Oilers may opt to ride the hot hand while navigating Tristan Jarry's (lower body) absence. If Ingram can put in decent performances, he could carve out a majority of the playing time in the short term.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: First regulation loss since Dec. 2

    Bobrovsky made 21 saves Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He allowed three goals.

    It was Bobrovsky's first regulation loss since Dec. 2 (6-1-1). His save percentage in December has been .898. That number looks bad, but the NHL average this season is .899. Bob will deliver solid netminding behind a strong squad, but his .888 save percentage overall this season is the worst of his storied career.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Bounces back Saturday

    Wolf stopped 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

    Wolf was torched for five goals on 39 shots before the holiday break, but the Oilers didn't find the same level of success in this Battle of Alberta rematch. The 24-year-old goalie is up to three wins in his last five games, and he's at 12-14-2 with a 2.96 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 29 outings this season. The Flames are at home for the next four games, the next being Monday's matchup versus the Bruins.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Cruises to win Saturday

    Forsberg stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

    Forsberg had lost three of his previous four outings going into Saturday's start, but he managed to bounce back and got six goals of support from his teammates. Forsberg has only two wins in his last six appearances, but he's likely to remain the Kings' starting netminder in the absence of Darcy Kuemper (upper body).

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Beaten six times Saturday

    Dostal stopped 24 of 30 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Kings.

    Dostal had one of his worst performances of the season Saturday, posting an .800 save percentage but also giving up a season-high six goals. The 25-year-old remains firmly entrenched as the Ducks' No. 1 option between the posts despite the defeat.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Loses in shootout to Chicago

    Oettinger stopped 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

    Oettinger saw the end of his brief two-game winning run, but the star netminder has posted solid numbers even in games where he's not winning. Oettinger has gone 14 consecutive games while allowing three goals or fewer, and that level of consistency has the 27-year-old ranked among the best goaltenders in the NHL.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Makes 28 saves in shootout win

    Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Stars.

    Soderblom was beaten once in each frame, but the Blackhawks forced a shootout thanks to a third-period goal from Tyler Bertuzzi. Soderblom was excellent in the shootout, stopping three of four shots to get his first win since mid-November and snap a streak of five straight losses. The 26-year-old has allowed three or more goals in each of his last six outings, so even though he got the win here, fantasy managers can't be happy with his recent performances.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Third straight win

    Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 4-2 win over Florida on Saturday.

    It was Vasilevskiy's third consecutive win and 14th this season. He's top-10 in wins (14; four-way tie for seventh), GAA (2.30; eighth) and save percentage (.914; three-way tie for seventh). Vasilevskiy has missed time due to injury, but if he can remain healthy, he should be able to put up his ninth straight season with at least 30 wins.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: First loss in last nine starts

    Gibson made 33 saves in a 5-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday.

    He allowed four goals, with Carolina's final marker coming on an empty net. Gibson's personal eight-game winning streak ended Saturday. The Canes are one of the NHL's top goal-scoring teams, and they turned up the heat. Still, Gibson had been dominant in December, running up an 8-0-0 record with two shutouts and a .927 save percentage prior to Saturday. He looks a bit like the netminder he was eight-to-10 years ago, but we don't know if we should say that out loud. Still, there's a chance Gibson is back.

  • Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Continues to defy odds

    Bussi made 18 saves in a 5-2 win over Detroit on Saturday.

    The first goal came after a Detroit player snagged an errant clearing pass by a Carolina defender and fed Michael Rasmussen in the slot. Bussi made no mistake. The second goal came on a redirection on the power play. Bussi, who made his NHL debut this season at age 27, continues to be a revelation this season after four campaigns in the AHL. He hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 25, and he is 12-1-1 with a 2.10 GAA and a .912 save percentage on the season.
