Here are the first four Tiers of goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – March edition!

As always, if you need to go deeper, you can find the full list at our sister site Goalie Post. Check out our new format over there:

Also, coming in early April – Dobber’s 20th annual Interactive Playoff Draft List – preorder it here!

Tier 0

The only goalies who are completely safe owns, and elite owns. They’ll give you plenty of wins, fewer losses, and good peripheral stats. They generally don’t get hurt, and are fairly consistent. Yes, this Tier is a small one.

Mar ’25	Goalie	Team	Rating	Feb ’25	Tier
1	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	91.7	1	0
2	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	89.3	2	0
3	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	82.2	3	0

Tier 1

Good goaltenders who are the clear starters for their team. They are generally going to be safe picks, they should give you solid stats, and each one has upside for greatness in the coming seasons.

4	Jake Oettinger	DAL	89.4	4	1
5	Filip Gustavsson	MIN	82.6	5	1
6	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	80.3	7	1
7	Logan Thompson	WAS	80.1	6	1
8	Lukas Dostal	ANA	70.0	9	1
9	Spencer Knight	CHI	67.4	10	1
10	Mackenzie Blackwood	COL	65.2	8	1

Tier 2

Either clear-cut number one goalies, but on weaker teams. Or they are in a shared situation right now, but with tremendous upside in the future. Or they are on top teams but have a shaky track record of late. There is some risk here but also some upside.

11	Jeremy Swayman	BOS	79.3	13	2
12	Karel Vejmelka	UTA	77.7	12	2
13	Brandon Bussi	CAR	76.0	14	2
14	Jesper Wallstedt	MIN	64.8	25	2
15	Dustin Wolf	CGY	64.8	16	2
16	Joey Daccord	SEA	64.7	15	2
17	Juuse Saros	NSH	62.2	17	2
18	Yaroslav Askarov	SJS	60.4	18	2
19	Linus Ullmark	OTT	55.5	19	2
20	Sergei Bobrovsky	FLA	51.7	11	2
21	Tristan Jarry	EDM	48.2	20	2
22	John Gibson	DET	45.0	21	2
23	Darcy Kuemper	LAK	43.1	23	2

Tier 3

A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.

24	Dan Vladar	PHI	69.0	24	3
25	Scott Wedgewood	COL	59.2	38	3
26	Jet Greaves	CBJ	58.8	26	3
27	Jakub Dobes	MON	57.5	27	3
28	Arturs Silovs	PIT	53.0	28	3
29	Jacob Fowler	MON	49.0	39	3
30	Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen	BUF	46.2	30	3
31	Stuart Skinner	PIT	46.1	31	3
32	Alex Lyon	BUF	45.5	34	3
33	Joel Hofer	STL	43.3	42	3
34	Jacob Markstrom	NJD	43.0	22	3
35	Joseph Woll	TOR	41.6	29	3
36	Adin Hill	VGK	39.8	36	3
37	Kevin Lankinen	VAN	30.8	35	3

Tier 4

The starting goalies on terrible teams, backup goalies on great teams, some very good prospects who are getting closer – and everything in between. With the right bounces, some of these goalies may become stars. Some will see their last career NHL game this season. Lots of risk here.

38	Daniil Tarasov	FLA	40.0	62	4
39	Connor Ingram	EDM	37.4	40	4
40	Leevi Merilainen	OTT	36.2	41	4
41	Akira Schmid	VGK	35.0	46	4
42	Elvis Merzlikins	CBJ	34.0	43	4
43	Devon Levi	BUF	33.1	45	4
44	Alex Nedeljkovic	SJS	32.6	47	4
45	Sebastian Cossa	DET	31.1	48	4
46	Jordan Binnington	STL	30.6	32	4
47	David Rittich	NYI	30.2	49	4
48	Eric Comrie	WPG	29.5	51	4
49	Sam Montembeault	MON	29.0	33	4
50	Pyotr Kochetkov	CAR	28.9	50	4
51	Colten Ellis	BUF	28.2	52	4
52	Carter Hart	VGK	26.6	44	4
53	Jake Allen	NJD	24.8	53	4
54	Sergey Murashov	PIT	23.7	56	4
55	Nikita Tolopilo	VAN	23.7	84	4
56	Thatcher Demko	VAN	23.3	54	4
57	Joonas Korpisalo	BOS	22.3	57	4
58	Ville Husso	ANA	22.0	55	4
59	Anthony Stolarz	TOR	19.3	37	4
60	Philipp Grubauer	SEA	17.7	58	4
61	Frederik Andersen	CAR	12.8	60	4
