Vasilevskiy will defend the road net against Boston on Saturday, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Vasilevskiy has lost his last two outings, surrendering seven goals on 55 shots. He has a 30-18-3 record with four shutouts, a 2.29 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 51 appearances this season. Boston sits 25th in the league with 2.72 goals per game in 2024-25.

Vejmelka is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Sunday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday.

Vejmelka has an 18-17-6 record, 2.49 GAA and .908 save percentage in 43 outings in 2024-25. While those are decent overall numbers, he's going through a rough patch in which he's won just one of his past four starts (1-1-2) and has allowed 12 goals on 93 shots (.871 save percentage). He's found success against Vancouver this season, posting a 1.44 GAA and a .929 save percentage across two victories over the Canucks, so perhaps his third meeting against them will snap his cold spell.

Kochetkov is set to start on the road against Philadelphia on Saturday.

Kochetkov has won his past four outings while saving 83 of 89 shots (.933 save percentage). He's 24-11-3 with a 2.43 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 39 appearances this season. The Flyers rank 23rd in goals per game with 2.79.

Thompson will guard the road goal agains San Jose on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Thompson has stopped 75 of 85 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 28-4-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.36 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. San Jose sits 30th in the league with 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25.

Markstrom will guard the road net Saturday against the Penguins, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom has struggled since returning from a knee injury, going 1-3-0 with an .850 save percentage in his previous four outings. He'll look to right the ship against a Pittsburgh team averaging 2.85 goals per game. Overall, Markstrom is 22-12-5 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.36 GAA this year.

Georgiev will protect the home net against Washington on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Georgiev is coming off a 24-save performance in Thursday's 4-2 win over Chicago. He has a 13-22-1 record with a 3.59 GAA and an .876 save percentage through 40 games between San Jose and Colorado this season. Washington ranks first in the league with 3.61 goals per game in 2024-25.

Silovs will guard the home net Saturday against Chicago, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

It'll be Silovs' first start since he was recalled from AHL Abbotsford last Sunday. The 23-year-old netminder has struggled in his nine NHL appearances this year, going 1-6-1 with an .858 save percentage and a 3.85 GAA. Silovs will face a Chicago team that's averaging 2.71 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 24 of 25 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Hellebuyck has won three of his last four starts, and the star netminder has posted a save percentage of at least .950 in each of those wins, so his numbers continue to rank among the league's elite in several categories. He's already achieved a career-high 39 wins, but he's also posted a 1.98 GAA and a .927 save percentage in his 51 appearances this season.

Oettinger stopped 18 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Oettinger has been one of the top netminders in the NHL this season, but he didn't have his best Friday and surrendered four goals. Friday's performance marked the ninth time he's given up four or more goals in a game this campaign. Oettinger, who has won 30 games for the fourth year in a row, still owns a solid 2.52 GAA and a .907 save percentage. One poor outing won't impact his fantasy stock dramatically, especially considering the opposition.

Jarry will patrol the home crease versus New Jersey on Saturday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.

Jarry will make his fourth straight start as he has taken over the No. 1 job in Pittsburgh from Alex Nedeljkovic. In his previous three outings, Jarry has gone 3-0-0 while stopping 96 of 102 shots (.941 save percentage). He was sent to the minors earlier in the season after being placed on waivers, but he has rebounded nicely. New Jersey has generated 2.99 goals per game, tied for 14th in the NHL this season.
