Arturs Silovs - NHL News & Rumors

Heartbreaking OT loss in Game 6 Silovs made 31 saves Wednesday in the Penguins' 1-0 overtime loss to the Flyers in Game 6 of their first-round series.

Impact The 25-year-old netminder did everything he could to force a Game 7 and keep Pittsburgh's campaign alive, but Cam York snapped a shot through traffic that glanced off the post and into the net with about two and a half minutes left in the first extra period, ending Silovs' goaltending duel with Dan Vladar. Silovs had an up and down regular season but he shone after replacing Stuart Skinner between the pipes in the playoffs, allowing five goals on 82 shots (.939 save percentage) over three starts. Both goalies are free agents this offseason -- Skinner unrestricted and Silovs an RFA -- but with prospect Sergei Murashov potentially ready to make the leap to the NHL on a full-time basis in 2026-27, it's not clear if either veteran will be back in Pittsburgh next season.

Between pipes for Game 6 Silovs will tend the twine on the road against the Flyers in Game 6 on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Dan Potash reports.

Impact In his two playoff appearances, both wins, Silvos gave up four goals on a combined 50 shots (.920 save percentage). The 25-year-old backstop has seemingly replaced Stuart Skinner as the No. 1 option for head coach Dan Muse, especially considering a tough outing in Game 6 would be the end of the Penguins' season.

Keeps Pens alive with Game 5 win Silovs stopped 18 shots Monday in the Penguins' 3-2 win over the Flyers in Game 5 of their first-round series.

Impact The 25-year-old netminder did squander an early 2-0 lead, but once Kris Letang put Pittsburgh back in front with a fluky tally late in the second period, Silovs shut the door. He's won two straight starts since replacing Stuart Skinner in the crease, allowing four goals on 50 shots (.920 save percentage), and he'll look to keep rolling in Game 5 on Wednesday back in Philadelphia as the Pens try to stave off elimination once again.

Impact Silovs drew his first start of this year's playoffs during Saturday's Game 4 on the road, and he turned aside 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage) in a 4-2 victory to stave off elimination. Following Monday's win, he'll draw a second consecutive start in an attempt to force a Game 6. Silovs has picked up wins in four of his last six outings, going 4-2-0 with a 3.41 GAA and .878 save percentage during that time.

Keeps series alive Silovs stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

The 25-year-old Silovs did his job to keep the series alive, sending it back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Monday. He went 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 39 regular-season outings. Silovs' win Saturday likely puts him in line to start the next game.

Tending twine in Game 4 Silovs will be between the road pipes in Philadelphia for Game 4 on Saturday, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.

Impact The Penguins have their backs against the wall, dropping the first three games to the Flyers with Stuart Skinner in goal. Silovs was 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 39 regular-season games in 2025-26. The Flyers have found the back of the net on 11 occasions during the first three games of the series.

Gets work in third period Silovs stopped seven of nine shots in relief of Stuart Skinner in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Blues.

Impact Silovs played the third period in what was likely an effort to keep both goalies from sitting around too long ahead of the playoffs. The 25-year-old ended up with the loss after this relief appearance, as he entered when the game was tied at 4-4. Silovs is down to 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 39 appearances this season. The Penguins' goaltending hasn't exactly been a strength, so it's fair to assume both netminders will get some playing time during the playoffs, but Skinner has the experience of making back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals on his resume.

Capsized by Caps Silovs stopped 25 of 30 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals, with Washington's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact After a scoreless first period, the two teams erupted for seven goals in the second frame, with Silovs getting beaten four times on 14 shots. The 25-year-old has had a bumpy finish to the regular season, going 7-4-0 since the beginning of March with a 3.49 GAA and .864 save percentage, but Stuart Skinner hasn't been a whole lot better over that same stretch. It remains unclear which netminder will handle starting duties for Pittsburgh when the playoffs begin.

Starting Saturday Silovs will defend the home net versus Washington on Saturday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Silovs is 19-10-8 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.99 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 37 appearances this season. The Capitals are 15th in scoring with 250 goals in 79 games.

Solid showing in win Silovs turned aside 29 of 31 shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Silovs earned his third consecutive win on Sunday and his second win against the Panthers of the weekend. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder now has a 19-10-8 record, a 2.99 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. His first full campaign as a regular option in net has been a solid showing. He's been a large part as to why Pittsburgh is on pace to make the playoffs and should continue to see consistent starts while Stuart Skinner (upper body) remains out of the lineup. Silovs is a solid streaming option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Starts back-to-back days Silovs led the team out for warmups and will get the start Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports.

Impact With Stuart Skinner (upper body) out Sunday after being struck with a puck in the eye, Silovs will earn a start for the second straight day against the Panthers. On Saturday, the 25-year-old turned aside just 19 of the 23 shots he faced but was rewarded with nine goals of support to earn the win. Overall on the season, he is 18-10-8 with a 3.01 GAA and an .888 save percentage.

Cruises to win Saturday Silovs made 19 saves in Saturday's 9-4 rout of the Panthers.

Impact The game was actually tied 2-2 heading into the first intermission, but Pittsburgh blew the game open in the second while chasing Sergei Bobrovsky from the Florida crease. Silovs has been getting plenty of offensive support over the last month, and he's needed it -- over his last eight starts he's gone 5-3-0 despite a rough 3.92 GAA and .842 save percentage.

Defending crease Saturday Silovs will protect the home net against Florida on Saturday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Impact The 25-year-old netminder gave up all three of his goals on just eight shots in the second period, but the Penguins struck five times in that frame alone. Silovs has allowed fewer than three goals only once in his last seven starts, managing a 4-3-0 record over that stretch despite a rough 3.91 GAA and .844 save percentage.
