Wolf allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

Wolf made some progress by keeping the opponent under a half-dozen, but it's another ugly result. The 25-year-old netminder is 0-3-0 with 16 goals allowed on 87 shots so far. He has alternated games with Devin Cooley, but neither of the Flames' netminders can be trusted in fantasy right now. Calgary's next game is a rematch with the Ducks in Anaheim on Tuesday.

Husso stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Husso got the easier matchup in the second half of a back-to-back for the Ducks, and he got the job done. The 31-year-old netminder probably won't see a lot of work behind Lukas Dostal, but Husso is worth streaming when he gets the nod in favorable matchups. He went 10-8-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 20 regular-season outings in 2025-26, though the Ducks' young defense appears to have taken a step forward early this season. Expect Dostal between the pipes for Tuesday's rematch against the Flames in Anaheim.

Oettinger stopped 19 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Penguins.

Oettinger's bid for a third straight shutout was broken up by Connor Dewar in the third period. The 27-year-old Oettinger still put in another strong outing, proving he's been well worth the early-round pick fantasy managers needed to select him this year. Over four starts, Oettinger is 2-1-1 with three goals allowed on 81 shots. The Stars' defense has been stingy, which will make it tough to maintain a high save percentage, but he's in a great spot for picking up wins as well as seeing plenty of starts. Expect Oettinger and Casey DeSmith to split the upcoming home-and-home set versus the Avalanche, which begins Tuesday in Dallas before shifting to Denver on Wednesday.

Silovs stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Stars.

Silovs got the nod in the second half of a back-to-back and held his ground in a close game. The 25-year-old netminder has won three of his four outings this season, but he's been all over the map in terms of performance. He's allowed 11 goals on 96 shots, but 10 of those tallies against have come in just two of the starts. Sergei Murashov has provided more predictable work so far, but both goalies will get their fair share of playing time this year. The Penguins are set for a three-game road trip over the next week, which begins in Chicago on Tuesday. It also features a back-to-back in Colorado on Friday and in Vegas on Saturday, which will allow both goalies to get work.

Greaves allowed four goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.

Greaves had a good first period, but he struggled in the final 40 minutes. The 25-year-old has been given a chance to run with the starting job this year, but he's stumbled out of the gates, allowing 11 goals on 83 shots over his first three outings. Cam Talbot looked decent Friday versus the Penguins, and he has the experience to take some work from Greaves if the younger netminder can't get on track quickly. The Blue Jackets' next game is Tuesday at home in a tough matchup against the Panthers.

Sorokin made 21 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. He allowed four goals.

He and Andrei Vasilevskiy were locked in a duel until Brandon Hagel broke the tie at 18:16 of the third period. Sorokin has been lights out this season, recording a 2-2-0 record with one shutout, a 1.77 GAA and .937 save percentage. Prior to Saturday, he had allowed just three goals in three starts.

Vasilevskiy made 20 saves in a 5-3 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

It was a netminding duel with Ilya Sorokin -- the winner wasn't scored until the 18:16 mark of the third, and the Bolts then potted one into an empty net. Vasilevskiy is 3-1-0 in four starts, and after allowing four goals in his first outing, he has surrendered just five in his last three games. His GAA is 2.29; his .892 save percentage will improve.

Binnington stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

He allowed the first two goals of the game, but the Blues' offense stepped up over the final two periods. Binnington has given up nine goals on 59 shots over his two outings this season, going 1-1-0 in his starts. The 33-year-old will need to perform a bit better to mount a realistic challenge to Joel Hofer's No. 1 status between the pipes. The Blues are on the road over the next week, beginning their three-game trip in Ottawa on Tuesday.

Fowler stopped all 30 shots he faced in Saturday's 1-0 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Just like Daniil Tarasov, Fowler was perfect through regulation and overtime en route to posting a 30-save performance. The young netminder turned aside 20 even-strength shots and 10 power-play shots, and his excellent play allowed the Canadiens to earn the win in the shootout, as Zachary Bolduc eventually secured the victory with a sixth-round shootout goal. Fowler could continue to see playing time due to Sam Montembeault's lower-body injury.

Tarasov stopped all 30 shots he faced in Saturday's 1-0 shootout loss to the Canadiens.

Tarasov delivered a flawless performance through regulation and overtime, turning aside 25 even-strength shots and five power-play shots, matching Jacob Fowler save for save throughout the contest. However, Detroit couldn't find the back of the net, and Tarasov was eventually beaten by Zachary Bolduc in the sixth round of the shootout. This was Tarasov's first start with the Red Wings and his second appearance, as he had previously featured in relief in the 6-3 loss to the Kraken on Oct. 9, when he stopped eight of nine shots. The 27-year-old should remain as the Red Wings' No. 2 goaltender behind John Gibson despite back-to-back strong displays.
