Dostal stopped 18 of 20 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.

Dostal was unable to carry the Ducks to victory, although he could've used some support from an offense that scored just one goal on 41 shots. Dostal has alternated wins and losses over his last five starts, going 2-3-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .871 save percentage over that stretch.

Grubauer stopped 40 of 41 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Grubauer earned his first win in exactly a month, as his previous victory came Nov. 22 against the Penguins. This was his best outing in quite some time, and the 40 saves were a season-high mark by a wide margin. Grubauer hasn't won back-to-back games since winning four straight starts in November, though, so it's hard to trust him for sustained production. Wins aside, his individual numbers have looked decent -- he's had a save percentage above .900 in three of his last four contests.

Knight will protect the home net against Philadelphia on Tuesday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight has lost his last three outings while surrendering nine goals on 87 shots. He has a 10-9-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.57 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. Philadelphia is tied for 19th in the league in the 2025-26 campaign with 2.94 goals per game.

Ingram will patrol the home crease against Calgary on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram is coming off a 26-save performance in Sunday's 4-3 win over Vegas. With Calvin Pickard struggling and Tristan Jarry (lower body) on injured reserve, Ingram could string together some starts if he continues to play well. Calgary sits 28th in the league with 2.64 goals per game this campaign.

Wedgewood is expected to tend the twine at home against the Mammoth on Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Wedgewood hasn't suffered a regulation loss in his last 13 outings, posting a 10-0-2 with a 1.90 GAA and one shutout. The Avs look set to continue to rotate their backstops, limiting Wedgewood's fantasy value. Still, with the strong supporting cast around him, Wedgewood figures to continue piling up wins.

Shesterkin will be between the road pipes versus Washington on Tuesday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Shesterkin will be making his 30th start of the season, having gone 15-11-3 with a .908 save percentage and one shutout in his 29 prior outings. Those 30 appearances currently lead the NHL and set the 29-year-old backstop up to reach the 60-game mark for the second straight year.

DeSmith will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

DeSmith has won his last three outings while stopping 79 of the 86 shots he has faced. He has a 9-1-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 13 appearances. Detroit ranks 13th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this year.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against Carolina on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bobrovsky is rolling right now, posting a five-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 2.74 GAA and an .895 save percentage. While he has featured in only four of the Cats' last eight contests, with Daniil Tarasov starting the other four, Bobrovsky remains the No. 1 option in the crease and should be near the top of the games-played list at the end of the year.

Lyon will be in goal on the road against the Senators on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Lyon is undefeated in his last five outings while posting a 2.31 GAA and .922 save percentage. With the 33-year-old netminder performing at this level, it seems head coach Lindy Ruff is content to ride the hot hand and utilize Lyon ahead of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Markstrom will patrol the crease on the road against the Islanders on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Markstrom is having a rough December in which he is sporting a 2-3-0 record and a 2.96 GAA in six outings, while Jake Allen has featured in six games as well. If the Devils continue to split the workload between the duo, the 35-year-old Markstrom won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value down the stretch.
