Jarry allowed four goals on seven shots in the first period before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic in a 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Pretty much every chance the Bolts had in the first went in. Jarry is now 0-2-1 in his last three starts with 10 goals allowed. The Penguins are six points behind the Canadiens for the second wild card, but Pittsburgh has played three more games. The season is all but lost, and Jarry needs to prove himself for next season. Use with caution, but in the right situation, he could help.

Blackwood stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Blackwood picked up his second win in a row and his fourth in six outings in March. He's allowed 16 goals over those six games, so he hasn't been at his best. The 28-year-old netminder improved to 26-17-6 with a 2.51 GAA and a .913 save percentage over a career-high 50-appearances. Assuming he sees a decent workload down the stretch, Blackwood is positioned to have a chance at his first 30-win season. The Avalanche's next game is at home versus the Kings on Thursday.

Mrazek (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Senators, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Mrazek was injured Monday versus Utah and will miss at least two games after being ruled out for Thursday. Cam Talbot (undisclosed) is a possibility to face the Senators after missing Tuesday's game against the Avalanche, but it's possible the Red Wings will have to dress Alex Lyon and Sebastian Cossa again Thursday. Mrazek's status for Saturday versus the Bruins has not yet been revealed.

Ersson made 23 saves in a 7-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

The Flyers were horrendous in front of Ersson against one of the league's best offensive squads. That's a very bad combination. Avoid Ersson. This team is 1-8-1 in its last 10, and the Flyers have a minus-52 goal differential overall.

Fleury stopped 33 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights, who also scored an empty-netter.

Fleury's last two starts -- separated by more than two weeks -- have come against two of his former teams. He's lost both of those games, giving up a total of six goals on 58 shots to the Golden Knights and Penguins. The Wild are not safe in the wild-card race out west due to the hard-charging Blues, so Filip Gustavsson is likely to see a heavy workload while Fleury handles backup duties, at least until Minnesota's playoff position is clinched. Fleury is down to 12-9-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Wild have another tough matchup on tap Thursday when they host the Capitals.

Hill stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

The Golden Knights have won four straight games, and Hill's been between the pipes for three of them. He was able to limit the damage to a Marcus Johansson tally early in the third period of this contest. Hill is now 27-11-5 on the year with a 2.48 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 43 appearances. The Golden Knights have a back-to-back left on this road trip, with stops in Chicago on Friday and Nashville on Saturday. Both are fairly easy matchups, so Hill and Ilya Samsonov can each be deployed without much worry when they are called to start.

Stolarz made 17 saves in a 7-2 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Stolarz was fine -- he didn't need to be spectacular. He was pretty much lulled to sleep in the first half of the game after the Flyers put up just a handful of shots. He allowed the first goal on a one-timer over his glove in the first, and another late in the second period on a deflection. Stolarz has won two straight games, with five goals allowed in that span. He remains in the NHL's top-five netminders with a 2.42 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Shesterkin will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Tuesday, Larry Brooks of The New York Post reports.

Shesterkin is set for an eighth straight start, but he has gone 3-4-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .919 save percentage in that span. The Kings have scored 14 goals over their last two games, so they'll be a formidable opponent, especially in their own barn. The Kings are 25-3-4 at home this season, so this is not a great matchup for Shesterkin.

Daccord will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Tuesday, Ryan Pike of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Daccord has struggled to a 3-4-1 record with a 3.42 GAA and an .874 save percentage over eight games in March. The Flames are coming off a 3-1-0 road trip, during which they scored 13 goals. However, the Flames have struggled to score consistently this season, so this is a favorable matchup for Daccord to try to get back on track.

Lyon will defend the road net against Colorado on Tuesday, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

Sebastian Cossa will be Lyon's backup because Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) and Cam Talbot (undisclosed) are unavailable. The 32-year-old Lyon made 16 saves on 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah after Mrazek sustained an injury. Lyon has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 26 appearances this season. Colorado ranks sixth in the league with 3.34 goals per game in 2024-25.
