Swayman stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.

Boston came out on top in the Original Six battle, and Swayman was a big reason why. The 26-year-old netminder has won five straight starts, posting a 2.37 GAA and .923 save percentage during that stretch as he begins to live up to the big contract extension he signed right before the start of the 2024-25 season.

Andersen made 19 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Carolina out-shot the visitors 36-23 on the night, but Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl took eight of those shots, and that proved to be the difference, as the superstar duo scored three times. Andersen has only one win in his last five starts, going 1-3-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .869 save percentage, and it may not be long before Pyotr Kochetkov begins seeing a greater share of the workload in the Hurricanes' crease.

Saros will defend the road net in Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden against Pittsburgh, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros stopped 16 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins, snapping his three-game (0-2-1) losing skid. He has supplied a 6-6-3 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied for 13th in the league with 3.22 goals per game this campaign.

Skinner turned aside 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

Edmonton jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but Carolina stormed back and wound up out-shooting the visitors 36-23 on the night, as Skinner did well just to get the game to OT. The 27-year-old netminder was rewarded for his effort when Leon Draisaitl potted the winner just 19 seconds into the extra frame. Skinner has won three straight starts and has only one regulation loss in his last eight outings, going 5-1-2 over that stretch despite a 3.13 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Murashov will patrol the home crease in Sunday's Global Series matchup against Nashville in Sweden, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Murashov made 24 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Kings last Sunday in his NHL debut. He has posted a 5-2-0 record with a 1.73 GAA and a .931 save percentage through seven appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. Nashville ranks 31st in the league with 2.53 goals per game this campaign.

Wallstedt made 28 saves in Saturday's 2-0 win over Anaheim.

The young netminder appears to have completely erased a rough 2024-25 campaign from his mind. Wallstedt has recorded consecutive shutouts, and through six starts to begin the current campaign, he's 4-0-2 with a dazzling 2.10 GAA and .924 save percentage. Filip Gustavsson should be between the pipes Sunday against the Golden Knights on the second leg of a back-to-back, but the veteran's 3.08 GAA and .896 save percentage are leaving the door open for Wallstedt to push his way into a much more significant role for the Wild.

Mrazek stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Wild, with Minnesota's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

A Marcus Johansson tally in the first minute of the second period proved to be the only goal either netminder allowed, as Mrazek was simply outdueled by Jesper Wallstedt. It was Mrazek's best performance of the season but also his first loss, as he's 3-1-0 in four starts with a 3.72 GAA and .887 save percentage while backing up Lukas Dostal.

Wolf allowed three goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.

Wolf kept things close, but this was not a great follow-up to his 17-save shutout versus the Sharks on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder has evened out a bit with a 3-3-1 record and 15 goals allowed over his last seven games, but wins will continue to be hard to find behind a low-scoring team. Wolf is at 5-10-2 on the year with a 3.01 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 17 starts. The Flames have a road back-to-back up next, with a visit to Chicago on Tuesday followed by Buffalo on Wednesday. Expect Wolf and Devin Cooley to split those starts.

Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Hellebuyck was spotted a trio of one-goal leads, but two deflections and a power-play goal allowed the Flames to answer each Jets goal. Hellebuyck was perfect in the shootout to come away with his second win in three starts, though he's allowed 10 goals on 84 shots in that span. For the season, the superstar goalie is 8-6-0 with a 2.51 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 14 starts. The Jets are home for all three of their games next week, beginning with Tuesday's matchup against the Blue Jackets.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Nedeljkovic was away from the Sharks for one game to attend to a personal matter. The 29-year-old didn't have his best performance Saturday, but this was just his second defeat in his last five outings. On the year, he's posted a 3-3-2 record with a 2.97 GAA and a .902 save percentage. Yaroslav Askarov has been pretty good lately and may command more than a 50-50 split of the starts going forward, which leaves Nedeljkovic as an option in deeper fantasy formats only if he can't get enough playing time. The Sharks' next game is at home versus the Mammoth, one of four they'll play at the SAP Center in the next week.
