  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Third straight loss

    Bobrovsky made 26 saves in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

    He allowed three goals. Bob is 10-8-0, but he has lost three straight games, and his .883 save percentage this season is the worst of his career. Still, the Panthers don't need Bobrovsky to be excellent in the regular season -- he has delivered two straight Stanley Cup wins in the last two years. His Hall of Fame credentials carry him on the ice, but Bob is a frustrating fantasy netminder.

  • Joseph Woll G | PHI

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Sharp in win

    Woll made 26 saves in a 4-1 win over Florida on Tuesday.

    Sam Reinhart was the only kitty to beat Woll. The winger was alone on the slot and waited out the netminder, beating him over the glove while shorthanded. Woll is 3-3-1 with a 2.53 GAA and a .925 save percentage in seven starts. He has stabilized the Leafs' blue paint while Anthony Stolarz (upper body) is out.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Dealing with upper-body injury

    Wedgewood (upper body) will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Canucks.

    It wasn't obvious what caused Wedgewood to leave the game in the middle of the second period, but the team was able to clarify that it was an injury. He stopped 10 of 11 shots before his exit, but Wedgewood left with the game tied at 1-1, so he won't get a result. Mackenzie Blackwood took over in goal and will see the bulk of the starts if Wedgewood misses any additional time. The Avalanche are beginning a four-game road trip Thursday versus the Islanders.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: First loss in last seven starts

    Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Spectacular in win over Tampa

    Sorokin made 27 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.

    Sorokin carried a shutout to the 16:26 mark of the third period when Dominic James curled out from below the goal line and banked a wrist shot off his glove. Sorokin was spectacular at times, including a filthy left pad save on an Anthony Cirelli backhand in the second period after the Bolts pivot got behind the Isles D. The 30-year-old Sorokin ended Tampa's seven-game winning streak and snapped his own three-game losing streak in the process.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: In goal against Vegas

    Knight will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Knight snapped a three-game skid with a 5-3 win over the Ducks on Sunday, stopped 23 of 26 shots. The Golden Knights present another tough task, as they've gone 2-2-2 with 16 goals over their last six games, which is a bit of a quiet stretch for them.

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Facing Flames

    Saros will protect the home net against Calgary on Tuesday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

    Saros is coming off a 24-save performance in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. He has a 7-9-3 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Calgary sits 32nd in the league this campaign with 2.33 goals per game.

  • Carter Hart G | LV

    Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Exits ice first Tuesday

    Hart was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Chicago.

    Hart will suit up in an NHL game for the first time in nearly two years, having last played for the Flyers back in January of 2024. While Akira Schmid should continue to see the bulk of the workload for the Golden Knights, some good performances could see Hart force his way into a split share.
