Halak stopped 35 of 38 shots in a win over the Panthers last Friday. He has now won four straight with a 1.21 GAA and .955 SV%. He has been up-and-down this year, but his recent hot-streak makes him an interesting start at home vs. the Lightning.
Goalie Start

Goalie Start
Neuvirth will be between the pipes for the Sabres on Tuesday.
Neuvirth allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Sabres win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. The W snapped a three-game losing streak for Neuvirth, who now holds a 3-5-1 record, 2.96 GAA and .918 SV%.

Allen stopped 22 of 25 shots in a win over the Predators last Thursday. He has been great when called upon this season, winning five of six starts with a 1.67 GAA and .933 SV%.

What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?

Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators.

How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
