  • Promoted from AHL
    Skarek was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Friday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: Skarek posted a lackluster 3.23 GAA and .888 save percentage in 36 AHL contests. The 24-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut. Rotowire.com Today, 6:54 pm
     
  • Recalled on emergency basis
    The Jets recalled Delia on an emergency basis Friday.

    Advice: Delia was sent down earlier in the morning, but he was suddenly recalled. There has been no word on whether Connor Hellebuyck or Laurent Brossoit are injured, so stay tuned. The Jets open their playoff series at home Sunday versus Colorado. Rotowire.com Today, 9:52 am
     
  • Starting in Carolina
    Varlamov will defend the visiting crease in Carolina on Saturday for Game 1, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Varlamov took over from Ilya Sorokin down the stretch, starting in seven of the Islanders' last 11 games. Varlamov won his last five starts, ending the season with a 14-8-4 record, to go with a 2.60 GAA and a .918 save percentage, Varlamov was 1-0-0 in his only start versus the Hurricanes this season, stopping 39 shots in a 5-4 overtime victory.

  • Back in AHL
    Delia was sent down to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

    Advice: Delia was recalled Thursday to back up Laurent Brossoit as Connor Hellebuyck got the night off. Delia was 11-19-1 with an .872 save percentage in 32 AHL appearances before his recall. Rotowire.com Today, 9:00 am
     
  • Collects win No. 15
    Brossoit made 18 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

    Advice: The 31-year-old netminder shut Vancouver down completely in the third period as Winnipeg broke open a 2-2 tie. Brossoit finishes the regular season with the best numbers of his career, going 15-5-2 with a 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage over 23 outings to claim a share of the Jennings Trophy for the league's stingiest goaltending, but he'll head to the bench for the playoffs as Connor Hellebuyck gets ready to face the Avalanche in the first round beginning Sunday.

  • Dragged down by Kraken
    Fleury stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle, with the Kraken's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    Advice: A 1-1 tie through two periods turned into a wild final frame, and Fleury hit the bench for the final two minutes with Minnesota down 3-2, only to see each team score once more. The 39-year-old netminder lost his final three starts of the season, leaving him with a 17-15-5 record, 2.98 GAA and .895 save percentage through 40 outings. A one-year contract extension he signed earlier this week will bring him back to Minnesota in 2024-25 as Filip Gustavsson's backup, and he still has some personal milestones he can reach -- Fleury needs two more shutouts to move into sole possession of 10th place on the NHL's all-time list.

  • Ascends to top level
    Gibson was recalled from ECHL South Carolina on Friday.

    Advice: Gibson was presumably called up to serve as Washington's third goaltender for the playoffs. He played a pair of games with AHL Hershey earlier this season, going 2-0-0 with a 1.92 GAA and a .915 save percentage. Gibson spent most of the season in the ECHL, where he went 22-14-6.

  • Picks up win Thursday
    Daccord made 21 saves in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

    Advice: Most of the scoring came in the third period, as Daccord and Marc-Andre Fleury battled to a 1-1 tie through the first 40 minutes. Daccord ceded the starting role for the Kraken back to Philipp Grubauer after the All-Star break, but the 27-year-old Daccord still put together a strong first full NHL campaign, posting a 19-18-11 record with a 2.46 GAA and .916 save percentage. Grubauer still has three years left on his contract with a $5.9 million AAV, but the younger and cheaper Daccord could push for the No. 1 job in camp next season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:24 am
     
  • Announces retirement
    Francouz (groin) announced his retirement Friday, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.

    Advice: Francouz had a tough time recovering from offseason groin surgery and was unable to play at all during the 2023-24 campaign. He returned home to his native Czechia in November and never returned to North America. The 34-year-old netminder last played a year ago, allowing four goals on 23 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over Anaheim. Until he was injured, Francouz was sharing the top job in Colorado with Alexandar Georgiev. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 am
