Nilsson will patrol the crease during Saturday's home matchup with Carolina, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has been on a roll recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Rangers and Kings while posting an impressive 1.95 GAA and .935 save percentage. The 29-year-old netminder will look to stay sharp in a home matchup with a slumping Hurricanes club that's lost three straight games.

Nilsson turned aside 26 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Kings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Ottawa's ongoing struggles, Nilsson has won three of his last four starts, with his latest victory giving him a 3-3-1 record on the year. The Swede's fantasy value is limited by the fact that most nights, Nilsson's team is going to struggle to win games. Also, the reality of having to split starts with Craig Anderson doesn't help his stock value.

Nilsson will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game against L.A., TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was sharp in his last start Monday against the Rangers, stopping 32 of 34 shots en route to a convincing 6-2 road win. The 29-year-old Swede will attempt to pick up his third victory of the season in a favorable home matchup with a Kings club that's 2-6-0 on the road this year.

Nilsson stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 6-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson rebounded superbly from his previous start in which he was chased to the bench by the Islanders after four goals on 16 shots. Monday's win was just Nilsson's second of the season and first away from home. He has a solid .922 save percentage in his six appearances, but his 2-3-1 record and 3.12 GAA are reflective of the supporting cast around him.

Nilsson will patrol the road crease for Monday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Last time out for the Swede, he was pulled from the game against the Islanders after giving up four goals on 16 shots. Nilsson's season hasn't been much better, accumulating a 1-3-1 record with a 3.36 GAA and .919 save percentage. The 29-year-old will face a decent matchup against at Ranger offense that ranks 13th in the league in goals per game (3.18).

Nilsson gave up four goals on 16 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was relieved by Craig Anderson six minutes into the second period after yielding a pair of goals to Nick Leddy (one on a penalty shot) and single tallies by Matt Martin and Derick Brassard. Nilsson had been playing so well in 2019-20 but he was bound to have a night like this at some point. He's outplayed Anderson with a solid .919 save percentage thus far, but the poor team in front of him will significantly hinder Nilsson's GAA (currently 3.36) and win total (1) no matter how well he plays.

Nilsson will start Friday's game against the Islanders, Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has outplayed Craig Anderson in net, and the Swedish netminder has let in just six goals on 133 shots in his last three shots for a .955 save percentage. The visiting Islanders sport a bottom-10 offense with 2.67 goals per game, but they also allow only 2.44, so Nilsson's unlikely to get much support.

Nilsson turned aside 34 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
After giving up five goals to St. Louis in his first start of the season, Nilsson has held his opponents to exactly two goals in each of his three starts since. Despite his strong early-season play, Wednesday's win was the first of the year for the 29-year-old, who cedes the majority of the starts to Craig Anderson. In his four starts this year, Nilsson owns a 2.73 GAA and a terrific .935 save percentage.

Nilsson will guard the goal during Wednesday's home game against the Red Wings, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has played pretty well this season, posting an impressive .932 save percentage through his first three appearances, but he's compiled a disappoiting 0-2-1 record over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 29-year-old Swede will look to stay sharp in a home matchup with a struggling Detroit team that's lost five straight games.

Nilsson stopped 41 of 43 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Stars on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Things likely would have been much uglier had Nilsson not played so well, although the Stars also rang iron a couple of times. The Swedish goalie has allowed nine goals in three appearances, but has a poor 0-2-1 record to show for it. He's faced at least 36 shots in each game -- such is life behind a rebuilding Senators team.
