3 weeks agoTampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 21 shots he faced en route to defeating the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday evening. The shot total was quite even in this game, and Vasilevskiy was able to step up when called on. This outing extended Vasilevskiy's current win streak to two games. Before this two-game win streak, Vasilevskiy held a two-game losing streak where he had a high 3.32 GAA with a .873 save percentage. However, Vasilevskiy appears to be kickstarting another impressive stretch as he held a stellar 10-1-1 record before his two-game losing streak. During this 12-game stretch, Vasilevskiy held an impressive 1.93 GAA with a .937 save percentage. Vasilevskiy remains a must-start goaltender in all formats and a top option in DFS in all matchups.

3 weeks agoBuffalo Sabres center Jack Quinn tallied two helpers during their overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday evening. Quinn tallied his first helper with the primary assist on Peyton Krebs' power-play goal. Later in overtime, Quinn would tally his second power-play helper, this time the secondary assist on Alex Tuch's game-winner. This outing snapped a five-game scoreless stretch. Over his last 12 contests, the 23-year-old has tallied six points (five helpers). Through 59 games this season, Quinn has scored 10 goals and added 16 helpers. Given his role in the Buffalo middle six, he will only have value in deeper formats. He will look to stay hot on Thursday evening against the Utah Hockey Club.

3 weeks agoCarolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) returned to the ice on Monday and could be ready to rejoin the action in Thursday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. The Russian forward has been unavailable for three games due to an upper-body injury. "We'll find out," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said when asked if Svechnikov could play Thursday. "We've got a couple more days. We'll see where he's at." Before exiting the lineup, Svechnikov went five consecutive games without recording any points. However, a haul of 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 games places him among Carolina's top scorers this season. He leads the team with nine power-play goals.

3 weeks agoCalgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will take on Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. The impressive rookie will attempt to bounce back from two consecutive defeats. In his last outing, Wolf was defeated 4-2 by the Colorado Avalanche, and he also suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks last week. Wolf has posted a record of 22-13-5 with three shutouts, while his goals-against average is at 2.54 and his save percentage at .914. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a good campaign but appears to be struggling at the moment and will not be a good fantasy option for Monday. Toronto has already lit up Wolf once in 2024-25, as the young netminder coughed up five goals on 29 shots in a 6-3 loss on Feb. 4.

3 weeks agoNew Jersey Devils goaltender Jake Allen will be between the pipes on Monday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The veteran netminder will log his 25th start of the campaign. It has been a season of ups and downs for Allen, who is sporting an 11-13-1 record. He has allowed 2.60 goals while registering a .911 save percentage with four shutouts. Against the Blue Jackets, Allen will attempt to win a third consecutive outing for the first time this season. He has beaten Philadelphia and Edmonton in back-to-back appearances, giving up three total goals. On Monday, Allen may not need to do much to secure another victory, as Columbus has been shut out in two consecutive games and three times in its last five contests.

3 weeks agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves will start in Monday's contest against the New Jersey Devils. The 23-year-old was called up from the minors on an emergency basis on Friday and will take over the crease on Monday, with Elvis Merzlikins (personal) remaining out of the lineup. Greaves has won each of his last two starts in the NHL but hasn't made a single appearance in the big league since Nov. 30. He carries a 2-1-2 record for the season with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. On Monday, Greaves faces a challenging matchup against a team that has netted at least three goals in each of its past four games. This streak includes a 5-3 victory for New Jersey over Columbus last Tuesday.

3 weeks agoPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov will be in the crease for Monday's tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Fedotov carries a 5-11-3 record for the campaign and is unlikely to improve it against a Lightning team that boasts the second-best offense in the league and a 23-8-2 home record. However, Fedotov was victorious in this matchup on Nov. 7, saving 22 of 23 shots in a 2-1 shootout win. Four of Fedotov's five wins this season came in November. The Russian netminder has not recorded a single shutout, allowing 3.08 goals for the campaign with a poor .884 save percentage.

3 weeks agoBoston Bruins goaltender Joonas Korpisalo has been named the starter for Monday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. He will receive the starting nod for the 20th time this season, heading into action with a 10-7-2 record. Korpisalo's wins this season include a 3-1 victory against Buffalo on Dec. 21, during which he made 19 saves. The Finnish netminder has posted a respectable 2.78 goals-against average with three shutouts, but he has a lowly .896 save percentage. Fantasy managers never really know what they will get with Korpisalo. However, since the Sabres have the worst record in the Eastern Conference and have only won nine road outings all season, Korpisalo looks like a solid fantasy option on Monday.

3 weeks agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will get the starting nod on Monday evening against the Calgary Flames. Anthony Stolarz has gotten the nod in each of the previous two contests. In Woll's last start, he picked up a victory and allowed three goals on 33 shots. Over his previous four games, Woll has held a 3-1 record with an underwhelming .871 save percentage with a 3.90 GAA. However, before this stretch, the 26-year-old held a strong 2.61 GAA with a .915 save percentage over his last seven games. Fantasy managers should view Woll as a top option in DFS, facing a Calgary offense that has struggled to generate consistent offensive opportunities. Stolarz will likely get the nod in their next contest on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche.

3 weeks agoOttawa Senators defenseman Nick Jensen (lower body) is still limited by this injury and is not expected to play on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate, but it appears the 34-year-old will likely miss his second-straight contest. If he were to miss this game, Jensen would then be hoping to return on Thursday to face the Colorado Avalanche. Before his injury, Jensen tallied one point (an assist) with three hits and six blocked shots over his last four contests. Through 60 total contests this season, Jensen has found the back of the net three times and added 16 helpers. He has logged 74 blocked shots and added 47 hits. When he does return, he will only have value in deeper formats that reward blocked shots.

3 weeks agoWashington Capitals center Dylan Strome (illness) is battling an illness but is hoping to be ready for Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate, as it should provide more clarity on his availability. The 28-year-old has tallied six points (three goals) over his last six contests. During this stretch, Strome has held a -1 rating and logged 10 shots on goal. Through 67 contests this season, Strome is on pace to enjoy a career season as he has found the back of the net 21 times and added 44 helpers. Strome has tallied 26 points on the power play and averaged 1.8 shots on goal per game. If Strome were to miss Tuesday's game, fantasy managers should expect Pierre Luc-Dubois to move up to the top offensive line.

3 weeks agoMinnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin (lower body) will not play on Monday evening but is viewed as "day-to-day." Brodin was able to skate after practice, which is a promising sign he will not be sidelined for much longer. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Wednesday evening when they host the Seattle Kraken. Brodin has missed their previous seven contests with this injury. Before the injury, the 31-year-old tallied two points (both helpers) with two hits and 14 blocked shots over his last seven contests. Through 38 total games, Brodin has logged an impressive 81 blocked shots with 18 points (four goals). With Brodin sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Zach Bogosian to remain in the starting lineup.

3 weeks agoBuffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) will not suit up on Monday evening when the Sabres travel to Boston to face the Bruins. Norris was unable to participate in their last contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening against the Utah Hockey Club. The Sabres acquired Norris from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline. Through his first three contests in Buffalo, Norris has tallied two points with one goal. With Norris sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ryan McLeod to continue to operate as the No. 2 center. Through 56 games this season, the former 19th overall pick has found the back of the net 21 times and added 14 helpers.

3 weeks agoBuffalo Sabres right wing JJ Peterka (lower body) will not suit up on Monday evening when the Sabres face the Boston Bruins. The 23-year-old has missed the previous two contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Thursday evening against the Utah Hockey Club. With Peterka sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Jordan Greenway to continue to have a role on the top forward line alongside Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson. Before his injury, Peterka tallied four goals with six helpers over his last nine contests. Through 61 total games this season, Peterka has found the back of the net 19 times and added 32 helpers, with 12 of his points coming on the power play.

3 weeks agoWinnipeg Jets left wing Cole Perfetti tallied a goal and an assist during their overtime victory over the Seattle Kraken on Sunday evening. Perfetti would find the back of the net in the opening frame during 5-on-5 play. In overtime, Perfetti would tally the primary helper to set up Dylan Samberg on the game-winning goal. This was his second two-point outing over his last three contests. Before this recent surge, the 23-year-old tallied just one point (a goal) over his last six games. Through 68 total games this season, Perfetti has enjoyed a career season. He has found the back of the 14 times and added 28 helpers, with 14 of his points coming on the power play. Fantasy managers should expect Perfetti to continue to play on the second offensive line, which makes him a solid forward in all standard leagues.
