    Stolarz will guard the road goal Sunday versus the Blue Jackets, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Advice: Stolarz is coming off a 23-save effort in a 4-3 loss to the Islanders on Dec. 2. He has posted a 3-2-1 record this season with a 2.34 GAA and a .917 save percentage through six games played. Columbus sits 22nd in the league with 2.93 goals per contest this campaign.

  • Starting Sunday
    Greaves will patrol the home crease Sunday against Florida, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    Advice: Greaves will get a second straight start after posting a 43-save performance in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues. Florida is tied for 18th in the league this campaign with 3.08 goals per contest. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
     
  • Flawless in relief
    Reimer saved all 11 shots that came his way in relief duty on the way to Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

    Advice: Reimer stepped into the crease to start the third period after scheduled starter Alex Lyon permitted four goals on 25 shots. Ironically, Reimer hadn't played since a Nov. 16 contest against the Senators in Sweden for the NHL Global Series, when he set aside 29 of 34 shots and ended up saddled with an overtime loss. The Red Wings are unique because they have three goalies on the active roster, with Ville Husso's 14 appearances leading the trio. There's simply not enough work for Reimer to stand out in fantasy, despite his impressive 2.18 GAA and .922 save percentage between seven contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
     
  • Surrenders four goals in loss
    Raanta stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

    Advice: Raanta struggled once again, failing to pick up a win for the fourth straight outing. In that span, he's given up 17 goals while going 0-3-0. The 34-year-old netminder is 6-5-0 with a 3.40 GAA and an .860 save percentage through 13 appearances, though Pyotr Kochetkov hasn't done much better. With the Hurricanes having lost four games in a row with two to go on the road trip, it's best for fantasy managers to stay away from the team's netminders until they can right the ship.

  • Continues alternating results
    Demko stopped 21 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Demko has not had a winning streak of more than two games since a six-gamer from Oct. 24-Nov. 6. He's alternated wins and losses over his last five outings, and while he wasn't particularly sharp Saturday, he was good enough to get the victory with some help from his offense. The 28-year-old netminder is now at 13-7-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 starts. The Canucks close their homestand with a couple of challenging opponents -- they're set to host the Lightning on Tuesday and the Panthers on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:19 pm
     
  • Loses first road game
    Talbot made 27 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

    Advice: Talbot cruised into the third frame with a 2-0 lead, but Anders Lee took it upon himself to jam in two rebounds to force overtime. Talbot has been a great fit for the Kings and the team is usually very good in front of their own net, so chalk this one up as a game to forget. This was the first road defeat of the season for Talbot and for the Kings, who started the 2023-24 campaign with a perfect 11-0-0 away record. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 pm
     
  • Strong performance yields OT win
    Sorokin made 34 saves Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

    Advice: The Kings went up 2-0 in a 3:28 span in the second period on goals by Adrian Kempe, who scored on the power play, and Vladislav Gavrikov, who fired an even-strength snipe through a sea of skaters. Sorokin has a disappointing 7-4-6 record this season with a 3.12 GAA and a .913 save percentage, but that's more a function of the team around him than his own skills. He has been seeing far too many pucks and simply can't stop them all. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 pm
     
  • Takes overtime loss in relief
    Daccord stopped five of seven shots in relief of Philipp Grubauer (lower body) in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

    Advice: Daccord entered with the game tied at 2-2 to begin the third period. The Kraken jumped out to a quick lead in the final frame, but Daccord gave it back and couldn't stop Nikita Kucherov in the slot in overtime. This was Daccord's sixth defeat (1-3-3) in his last seven games. With Grubauer's status unknown for Sunday's game versus the Wild, it's safe to assume Daccord will get the start, and he could be in line for a large role going forward if his teammate is out for an extended time. The 27-year-old American is sporting a 3-4-6 record with a 2.99 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 14 outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 pm
     
  • Prevails in overtime
    Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Advice: Vasilevskiy let a 2-0 lead slip away, but he was able to steady himself after that. A three-point effort from Nikita Kucherov fueled the offense as Tampa Bay won for the third time in four games. Vasilevskiy has picked up each of those wins, improving to 4-3-0 with a 2.70 GAA and an .899 save percentage over seven starts. The Lightning continue their road trip Tuesday in Vancouver.
