Ullmark stopped 16 of 18 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.

Ullmark endured a difficult opening period, surrendering goals to Ross Colton and Jonathan Marchessault as Nashville established a 2-0 lead. However, the veteran netminder settled down and kept the Predators scoreless through the final two periods and overtime, allowing Ottawa to complete its comeback. Ullmark finished with an .889 save percentage and extended his strong start to the campaign. He's won each of his first four starts while allowing two or fewer goals each time. That translates to an impressive 81 saves on 86 shots faced -- good for a .941 save percentage.

Hart allowed one goal on 27 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

This was Hart's best start of the season, and it had to be as the Golden Knights posted their lowest goal total of the campaign. The 28-year-old did his part, and goals by Trevor Connelly and Mitch Marner did the rest. Hart is 3-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 100 shots over his four outings this season. He'll continue to be the Golden Knights' top goalie as long as the results stay positive. Up next is a road back-to-back with stops in Minnesota on Monday and in Nashville on Tuesday, which will likely lead to Hart and Adin Hill splitting the next two games.

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.
