Ostman was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Ostman made his NHL debut Tuesday against Utah, stopping all 12 shots he faced after starter Joey Daccord got tagged for seven goals. The 24-year-old Ostman will continue to gain experience in the AHL, where he's made four starts with a 2-1-1 record, 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Ostman's move suggests that Philipp Grubauer (illness), who missed Tuesday's game against Utah, could return for Thursday's matchup against the Golden Knights.

Skinner (head) will miss Wednesday's home clash against St. Louis, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Skinner was last in net March 26. He has a 24-18-4 record, 2.91 GAA and .894 save percentage in 49 appearances in 2024-25. Skinner has resumed skating and is feeling good, so he might be able to make his return for Friday's home game versus San Jose.

Allen saved both shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins.

Markstrom fell flat in the third period, and after giving up three goals in a span of 5:52 in the final frame, head coach Sheldon Keefe made the switch in goal. This outing did little to change Allen's numbers for the season -- he's at a 2.59 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 29 outings. The Devils' playoff spot isn't secure just yet, but they need either a point earned or a point lost by each of the Rangers, Islanders and Blue Jackets to clinch. At that point, don't be surprised if Allen gets a start or two in the final week of the season to keep Markstrom fresh for the likely first-round playoff series against the Hurricanes.

Georgiev is expected to start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Georgiev has lost his past three games (0-2-1) while allowing 13 goals on 81 shots (.840 save percentage). He has a 15-25-2 record, 3.69 GAA and .873 save percentage in 46 appearances this campaign. The Wild are tied for 27th in goals per game with 2.68.

Pickard will get the starting nod at home versus St. Louis on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Pickard had made five straight starts before finally getting a night off against the Ducks on Monday. With Stuart Skinner's (head) continued absence, the Oilers likely have little choice but to keep rolling with Pickard between the pipes -- especially considering backup Olivier Rodrigue has just two NHL games under his belt. Edmonton doesn't have any more back-to-backs remaining on its schedule, so Pickard should be able to feature the rest of the way.

Montembeault stopped 35 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Montembeault was impressive between the pipes and delivered one of his best performances of the campaign en route to earning a fifth straight win. He's given up two or fewer goals in each of those wins, stopping 124 of 132 shots while notching a 1.60 GAA and a .939 save percentage.

Talbot stopped 17 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Montreal. The other two goals were empty-netters in the final two minutes of the game.

The Red Wings were all out on the attack in the final two minutes, meaning Talbot was pulled so Detroit could get an extra skater, but the move didn't pan out. Talbot has won three of his last six appearances, but the numbers have been better than what their record indicates. Over that span, he's gone 3-2-1 with a 1.78 GAA and a .939 save percentage.

Jarry made 26 saves in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Chicago.

A Sidney Crosby power-play tally late in the first period ended up being all the support Jarry would need as he secured his second shutout of the season, with the other coming March 30 against the Senators. The 29-year-old goalie has regained his form too late to get the Penguins to the postseason, but Jarry has gone 3-0-1 over his last four starts with a 1.99 GAA and .920 save percentage. With three more years and $16.1 million left on his contract after 2024-25, he'll likely be a part of Pittsburgh's plans in the crease in some form next season.

Knight turned aside 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Penguins.

Sidney Crosby potted a power-play tally with 16 seconds left in the first period for what proved to be the game-winner, and Chicago's skaters gave Knight no help the rest of the way. The young netminder has been tagged for four or more goals in six of his last nine outings, going 2-6-1 over that stretch with a 3.57 GAA and .870 save percentage. The talent that made Knight the 13th overall pick in the 2019 Draft is still there, but the team around him will need to get a lot better over the summer if he's going to have much fantasy appeal next season.

Reimer stopped all 33 shots in he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Carolina.

The Sabres got outshot 33-18 on the night, but Reimer stood tall as he recorded his first clean sheet of the season. The 37-year-old netminder has won seven straight starts since taking over the No. 1 job for Buffalo, posting a 2.40 GAA and .921 save percentage over that stretch.
