Nilsson allowed three goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the team that he's forced to play behind, there's only so much that can be said about Nilsson's -- or any Ottawa goaltender's -- performance down the final stretch of the season. The 28-year-old has four losses in his last seven starts, dropping his Senators record to 8-9-0 with a 3.08 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Nilsson will get the starting nod at home versus the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nilsson has been in goal in just two of the Sens' previous seven contests, in which he posted a disappointing .857 save percentage. The netminder figures to split duties the rest of the way with Craig Anderson, as the organization tries to decide whether to offer Nilsson a contract extension to stick around for a while longer or let him potentially walk in free agency this summer.

Nilsson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old, who's on his sixth team in six NHL seasons, set a new career high with his 11th win of the year, eight of which have come in a Sens jersey. Nilsson doesn't have a lot of fantasy appeal, posting a 3.78 GAA and .898 save percentage over his last 10 outings, but he should continue to get a steady workload behind Craig Anderson.

EDGE Analysis

It's tough enough for the Senators to secure wins with few offensive weapons, but Nilsson has been a liability in the blue paint of late, posting an .849 save percentage and 5.04 GAA over the last five games. The Panthers will make it difficult to pull out of this slump, as they rank 10th in the league with 3.16 goals per game.

Nilsson conceded six goals on 24 shots faced during Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Nilsson was staked to a two-goal lead early in the first period, but the Senators fell apart afterward and he was replaced with Craig Anderson in the second period. The 28-year-old has conceded three or more goals in each of his last six starts and is an even riskier fantasy play now that much of Ottawa's offense was traded out of town.

Nilsson will guard the visiting goal in Tuesday's game against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old hasn't been great in his last seven appearances, racking up a 3.20 GAA and .912 save percentage. Nilsson will have to be in top form when he takes on a Capitals offense that ranks sixth in goals for this campaign (210). The Swede is 1-4-1 with an .888 save percentage and 3.43 GAA in seven games against the Capitals in his career.

Nilsson made 27 saves in a 4-0 loss to New Jersey on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Sens were playing without forwards Matt Duchene, Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel because they were held out to protect their health in the event of a trade. Nilsson could face a lot more nights like Thursday if all three are moved.

EDGE Analysis

Nilsson will look to redeem a horrid, outlier performance against the Blackhawks on Monday, allowing four goals on 12 shots in the first period before getting the hook. In the five starts before Monday, the Swede went 3-2 while posting a 2.38 GAA and .934 save percentage. Nilsson will face a middle-of-the-pack Devils offense that is averaging 3.13 goals per game at home this season.

Nilsson stopped eight of 12 shots in the first period, being pulled in an 8-7 loss to Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Well, this was unexpected. Nilsson entered having won three of five and carrying strong save numbers, but he couldn't stop a thing from the Blackhawks, giving way to Craig Anderson. Nilsson has been much better than this, so it might be wise to chalk it up as a bad day.

EDGE Analysis

Nilsson is 3-2-0 with a .934 save percentage in his previous five outings since re-taking the No. 1 job due to Craig Anderson's eye injury. While Anderson is healthy to dress, Nilsson's strong run of play appears to have earned him the opportunity to keep holding down the crease. With a back-to-back coming up Friday and Saturday versus the Devils and Blue Jackets, respectively, the two netminders figure to split the workload.
