NHL Player News

Miner will be recalled from AHL Colorado prior to Sunday's home game versus the Flyers.

Miner's promotion suggests either Mackenzie Blackwood or Scott Wedgewood is in doubt for Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old Miner has allowed four goals on 33 shots over two NHL appearances this season.

Saros (illness) will guard the road goal against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros returns to action after missing Friday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo. He has posted a record of 11-20-6 with four shutouts, a 2.86 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. Pittsburgh sits 18th in the league with 2.89 goals per game in 2024-25.

Andersen is expected to start at home against the Kings on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Andersen is 6-1-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .924 save percentage in seven appearances this season. He earned a 22-save shutout victory over the Rangers in his last start Tuesday. The Kings are tied for 23rd in goals per game with 2.76.

Sorokin will protect the road goal versus the Lightning on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Sorokin is red-hot, having earned wins in his last five appearances. He's allowed just four goals in that span on a total of 112 shots, with one of those victories coming in relief. Sorokin will still have a tough test ahead Saturday, as the Lightning have a strong offense, though they've scored just 13 goals over their last six games.

Kuemper will defend the road net versus Carolina on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Kuemper has surrendered nine goals on 89 shots during his three-game (0-2-1) losing skid. He has a 14-6-6 record with two shutouts, a 2.17 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Carolina is tied for fourth in the league with 3.35 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hogberg (upper body) will have his status assessed after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Rachel Luscher of the Islanders' official site reports Saturday.

That rules Hogberg out for at least the next five games, starting with Saturday's road matchup against Tampa Bay. The team's first game back from the break is Feb. 23 versus Dallas. Jakub Skarek is serving as the backup goaltender behind Ilya Sorokin due to the absences of Hogberg and Semyon Varlamov (lower body).

Ingram will patrol the home crease against St. Louis on Sunday, according to Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports.

Ingram is coming off a 26-save effort in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. He has posted a record of 8-6-4 with a 3.31 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. St. Louis sits 27th in the league with 2.69 goals per game in 2024-25.

Talbot is expected to start in Saturday's road clash against Calgary, per Jonathan Mills of the Red Wings' official site.

Talbot has won his past three starts while allowing just four goals on 82 shots (.951 save percentage). He's 14-10-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 28 outings this campaign. The Flames rank 28th in goals per game with 2.68.

Varlamov (lower body) is out indefinitely after he stopped skating and facing shots, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com on Saturday.

Varlamov hasn't played since Nov. 29, and Marcus Hogberg (upper body) is unavailable, so the Islanders recalled Jakub Skarek from AHL Bridgeport on Monday to occupy the backup role behind Ilya Sorokin. The 36-year-old Varlamov has a 3-4-3 record with a 2.89 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 10 appearances this season.

Hellebuyck is expected to start on the road against Washington on Saturday, per Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Hellebuyck has won his past four starts while stopping 92 of 99 shots (.929 save percentage). That's just the latest stretch of success during a fantastic campaign in which he's posted a 32-7-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage in 41 appearances. The Capitals rank second in goals per game with 3.49.
