  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Sharp on Broadway in win

    Dostal made 26 saves in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

    The Ducks never trailed in the game, as the only puck to get past Dostal came late in the second period when an off-balance Matthew Robertson shot from the point deflected off Frank Vatrano and rainbowed over the netminder. Dostal has looked good in two starts since returning from an upper-body injury, allowing four goals on 48 shots, and on the season he's 12-6-1 with a 2.73 GAA and .905 save percentage.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In goal Tuesday

    Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Greaves will make his fifth straight appearance in the crease despite being mired in a seven-game losing streak. During his winless run, the 24-year-old backstop is 0-4-3, even with a solid 2.82 GAA and .904 save percentage. Considering Greaves' performances don't seem to be the problem for the Jackets, he will likely continue to feature ahead of Elvis Merzlikins.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: First loss since return

    Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

    Hellebuyck looked sharp through the first two periods as he allowed just one goal, but he eventually fell to Ottawa's late comeback effort in overtime. After Monday's loss, the 32-year-old goalie has a 9-6-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 16 games this season. The reigning Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner has helped the Jets pick up points in each of his two starts since his return from a knee injury. Regardless of the loss in Monday's extra period, he remains an elite goaltending option in fantasy moving forward with one of the league's best save percentages. Hellebuyck's next chance to guard the crease is Wednesday in St. Louis.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Holds on for OT win

    Ullmark turned aside 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Jets.

    Despite allowing two goals in the second period, Ullmark held on down the stretch to help the Senators complete a comeback in OT. With the win, he is up to a 12-8-4 record with a 3.00 GAA and an .879 save percentage through 24 games this season. The 32-year-old netminder has continued to find ways to win despite holding a career-worst save percentage. With six wins in his last nine tries, Ullmark remains a viable option in most two-goalie formats, but he shouldn't be considered a top-tier option in fantasy until he finds more consistent save numbers. His next chance to take the ice is Thursday against Pittsburgh.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Sustains injury in Dallas

    Kuemper has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game in Dallas due to an upper-body injury.

    Kuemper was injured during the opening frame after a collision with Mikko Rantanen at the top of the blue paint. The 35-year-old Kuemper didn't come out for the start of the second period and was replaced between the pipes by Anton Forsberg. If Kuemper is forced to miss any additional time, Pheonix Copley and Erik Portillo will be candidates to be brought up from AHL Ontario. The Kings have a back-to-back set on the road against Florida and Tampa Bay on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Defending crease Monday

    Ullmark will guard the road goal against Winnipeg on Monday, per Andrew Wilimek of the Senators' official site.

    Ullmark is coming off a 24-save effort in Thursday's 6-3 win over Columbus. He has gone 11-8-4 this season with a 3.05 GAA and an .877 save percentage across 23 appearances. Winnipeg is tied with Ottawa and Vegas for 15th in the league with 3.06 goals per game this year.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Between pipes against Rangers

    Dostal will tend the twine on the road against the Rangers on Monday.

    Dostal returned from a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury versus the Devils on Saturday, giving up three goals on 21 shots in a losing effort. The 25-year-old backstop will be looking for his first win since Nov. 22 versus Vegas when he clashes with the Rangers on Monday.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: First goalie off Monday

    Kuemper was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports, signaling that he'll draw the road start against Dallas.

    Kuemper has had some unlucky losses recently, as he's gone 3-2-3 with a 1.86 GAA and .934 save percentage over his last eight starts. He started on the road against the Stars on Oct. 23 and turned aside 29 of 31 shots (.935 save percentage) in an overtime win. The Stars are scoring 3.27 goals per game this year, which is the sixth-best mark in the league.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine Monday

    Hofer will patrol the home crease against Nashville on Monday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

    Hofer is coming off a 27-save performance in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago. He has a 5-6-2 record with two shutouts, a 3.10 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Nashville ranks 26th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this campaign.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Defending road crease Monday

    Saros will tend the twine in Monday's road game against St. Louis, Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville reports.

    Saros got the night off Saturday against Colorado, but he'll return to the crease Monday for the sixth time in the Predators' last seven games. He's been strong recently, going 5-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last six starts. The 30-year-old drew a home start against the Blues on Thursday and allowed two goals on 26 shots (.923 save percentage) in a 7-2 victory.
