Hellebuyck stopped 19 of 21 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Hellebuyck has won both of his starts since joining the Devils. The team in front of him has made it pretty simple too -- Hellebuyck has allowed just three goals on 39 shots over his two outings. The 33-year-old netminder is showing no signs of rust as he ramps up for No. 1 duties between the pipes. He'll get a bit of a breather before the Devils' next game, which will likely be Hellebuyck's home debut in New Jersey against the Oilers on Tuesday.

Grubauer will be in goal on the road versus the Flames on Friday, per the NHL media site.

Grubauer is set to make his fourth start in the Kraken's last five games. He is going for a fourth straight win, though he has allowed 10 goals on 81 shots during his winning streak. This will be the first time he's faced the Flames this year -- Joey Daccord handled the crease in both of Seattle's first two wins, which came against Calgary in the first week of the campaign.

Daws will protect the road goal versus the Panthers on Friday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Daws will make his first start and second appearance for the Jets after logging a relief appearance versus the Lightning on Thursday. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.57 GAA and an .884 save percentage across five games this season when accounting for his time with the Devils. A good performance Friday could help Daws leapfrog Clay Stevenson for the backup job behind Stuart Skinner.

Hart (undisclosed) will serve as the backup goaltender in Friday's home game against New Jersey, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Hart wasn't an option for Tuesday's 4-1 win over Ottawa due to the injury. He has a 4-3-1 record, 2.76 GAA and .889 save percentage in eight appearances in 2026-27. Adin Hill is set to play between the pipes for Vegas against the Devils, but Hart will probably start in one half of the Golden Knights' upcoming back-to-back road set against Boston and Pittsburgh on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

Hill will start Friday's home game against the Devils, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hill has been relatively sharp over the first several weeks of the regular season, going 5-1-0 with a 2.63 GAA and .895 save percentage across six appearances. He'll draw a start in a second consecutive game for the first time this season, while Carter Hart (undisclosed) will dress as the backup.

Hellebuyck will start Friday's road game against Vegas, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Hellebuyck made his Devils debut Tuesday in Dallas and turned aside 17 of 18 shots en route to the 5-1 victory. After getting the night off in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against Colorado, Hellebuyck will return to the crease Friday as the Devils close out their three-game road trip.

Stolarz is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Stolarz has won his past two starts while stopping 66 of 70 shots (.943 save percentage). He has a 4-1-0 record, 2.79 GAA and .907 save percentage in five appearances in 2026-27. Vancouver is 3-11-1 while averaging 3.00 goals per game this season, so this is a favorable matchup for Stolarz.

Whitehead was assigned to AHL Henderson on Friday.

Whitehead was called up by the Golden Knights on Tuesday, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club. His demotion ahead of Friday's game against the Devils suggests that Carter Hart (undisclosed) will be able to at least suit up for the matchup.

Jarry is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Saturday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Jarry is coming off a 24-save shutout victory over Calgary on Wednesday. He has a 3-1-2 record, 2.95 GAA and .882 save percentage in six appearances with Edmonton in 2026-27. The Islanders are 4-1-1 while averaging 3.17 goals per game across their past six games.

Cooley (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Flames on Friday, Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

Cooley was pulled from Wednesday's loss to the Oilers after one period due to his lower-body injury, and he's considered week-to-week after landing on injured reserve. Dustin Wolf will start Friday's home game against Seattle and figures to operate as the Flames' primary netminder in Cooley's absence, while Arsenii Sergeev was recalled from AHL Calgary on Friday.
