Player Notes

  • Takes overtime loss in finale
    Soderblom allowed five goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

    Advice: The Blackhawks made an improbable third-period rally for a 4-3 lead, but Soderblom couldn't make it stick. He then gave up a goal to Adrian Kempe six seconds into overtime. Soderblom ends 2023-24 with a 5-22-2 record, a 3.92 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 32 outings. The Blackhawks will need to make significant improvements to the roster for Soderblom to be viable in most fantasy formats in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 am
  • Wins ugly Thursday
    Talbot stopped nine of 13 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Talbot got the win, but it wasn't pretty. The Kings melted down early in the third period, only to salvage it with a Viktor Arvidsson equalizer with 1:21 left in regulation and Adrian Kempe's game-winner six seconds into overtime. The win set up the third consecutive year of a Kings-Oilers first-round matchup in the playoffs. Talbot ends the regular season 27-20-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage. He'll likely be the starter in the playoffs as he looks to help the Kings finally get past one of his former teams. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 pm
  • Yields three goals in loss
    Hill gave up three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Hill was unable to secure the win, and the Golden Knights dropped to the second wild-card spot, which means a date with Dallas in the first round. The 27-year-old allowed 11 goals on 71 shots over three appearances following a lower-body injury. Based on his performance in those contests, Hill seems likely to open the playoffs as Logan Thompson's understudy. Hill went 19-12-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 34 appearances this season, but he was 9-10-0 over 20 contests from January through April. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 pm
  • Wins over Vegas in finale
    Dostal stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

    Advice: Dostal had a tough matchup for the season finale, but he was able to put in a strong performance for his third win over six outings in April. The 23-year-old ends the season at 14-23-3 with a 3.33 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 44 appearances. Dostal is set to fill a similar role for the Ducks next season, though that could change if the team can find a taker for John Gibson's $6.4 million cap hit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:48 pm
  • Pulled again in finale
    Cooley allowed five goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Flames.

    Advice: Cooley surrendered two goals in the opening period and another three in the first seven minutes of the second before the 26-year-old netminder was replaced by Georgi Romanov for a second straight game. It was a tough finish to the year for Cooley, who allowed 13 goals on 45 shots in his final two outings. He'll finish the campaign 2-3-1 with an .870 save percentage and 4.98 GAA.
