Yaroslav Askarov - Defending crease Tuesday Askarov will guard the road goal against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Askarov will get the second half of San Jose's back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic played in Monday's 4-1 win over Florida. The 23-year-old Askarov has a 16-12-1 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 30 appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. Tampa Bay sits second in the league this season with 3.49 goals per game.

Eetu Luostarinen - Gets back in goal column Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Luostarinen ended a 10-game goal drought with the Panthers' lone tally in this loss. During that stretch, he had three assists and 13 shots on net. Luostarinen remains in a top-line role for now, though his lack of recent offense could put him at risk of losing minutes now that Matthew Tkachuk has returned from a groin injury. Luostarinen is at five goals, 20 points, 64 shots on net, 83 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances.

Barclay Goodrow - Fills empty net Goodrow scored an empty-net goal on two shots, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Goodrow scored for the first time since his two-goal, three-point burst Dec. 16 versus the Flames. He had two assists over the 13 contests between goals. The 32-year-old defensive forward is at nine points, 42 shots on net, 28 PIM, 71 hits and 35 blocked shots over 48 appearances this season, which is already a more productive campaign on offense than last year (eight points in 77 outings).

Vincent Desharnais - Scores in return Desharnais scored a goal on two shots, added six PIM, doled out six hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Desharnais had missed the previous 23 games due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman will likely compete with Vincent Iorio for third-pairing minutes moving forward, as Nick Leddy was waived to clear a spot for Desharnais to return. Through 21 outings, Desharnais has three points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 35 blocked shots and 38 PIM, so he has fairly limited appeal unless his offense takes off.

Mario Ferraro - Lights lamp Monday Ferraro scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Ferraro has four goals this season, three of them coming over the last 10 games. The 27-year-old defenseman is up to a total of 12 points, 57 shots on net, 93 blocks, 84 hits and a minus-3 rating over 48 appearances. His career high of 21 points from the 2023-24 campaign is within reach. Ferraro has appeal in deeper fantasy formats thanks to his steady physical play.

Will Smith - Buries goal Monday Smith scored a goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Smith has scored in consecutive contests following his 13-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 20-year-old has immediately retaken a top-line role and doesn't appear to need to shake off any rust. He's up to 14 goals, 31 points, 84 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 35 appearances, making him a strong offense-only option with ample upside in fantasy.
