Wolf will defend the visiting cage in Minnesota on Saturday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has been stellar in his last two starts, giving up three goals on 73 shots in wins over Winnipeg and Buffalo. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 17-7-2 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.49 GAA and a .918 save percentage. The Wild are generating 2.88 goals per game, tied for 20th in the NHL this season.

Sorokin stopped 29 of 30 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

Sorokin was beaten in the first period by Tyson Foerster, but he was excellent the rest of the way to notch his second straight win and fourth out of his last five starts. The star netminder has posted a save percentage of at least .960 in each of his previous two appearances, and he owns a solid 4-2-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .929 save percentage in six starts this month.

Fedotov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.

Fedotov gave up two goals in a quick 55-second span in the final moments of the first period, and he allowed another one late in the second frame en route to his fourth straight loss. Over that span, the 28-year-old Finnish netminder has gone 0-2-2 with a 2.72 GAA and 86 saves on 97 shots faced (.887 save percentage).

Forsberg will patrol the home crease versus Toronto on Saturday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Forsberg has been strong in his last two starts, allowing two goals on 51 shots. He made a relief appearance between those contests, giving up three goals on 13 shots against the Rangers. Forsberg is 5-9-1 with two shutouts, a 2.92 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 17 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs sit 11th in the NHL with 3.12 goals per game this campaign.

Fleury will guard the home net Saturday against Calgary, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Fleury's won four of his last five starts, posting an impressive .932 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 40-year-old netminder is 10-4-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.61 GAA this season.

Talbot will guard the home net versus Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Talbot is 6-1-0 in his last seven starts, albeit with a 3.15 GAA and a .891 save percentage. He has looked good in his past three wins, allowing six goals on 105 shots in victories over Seattle, Florida and Montreal. Tampa Bay leads the league with 3.62 goals per game this season.

Dobes will be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Dobes has been a revelation early in his NHL career. He is a perfect 5-0-0 with a 1.55 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Dobes will play for the sixth time in 15 contests, as he is still behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart. New Jersey has registered 3.06 goals per game, 12th in the league this season.

Binnington will defend the home cage versus Dallas on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Binnington has given up four goals in each of his last two games. The 31-year-old netminder is 13-17-3 with three shutouts, a 2.86 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. Dallas has posted 3.15 goals per game, 10th in the NHL in 2024-25.

Merzlikins will patrol the home crease versus Los Angeles on Saturday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Merzlikins was outstanding Wednesday in a 5-1 win in Toronto, kicking out 28 shots. The 30-year-old netminder is 5-1-0 since Jan. 4, with a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Merzlikins has won 17 games this season, the second-most in his six-year NHL career. He will face the Kings, who are generating 2.91 goals per game, 18th in the NHL.

Ingram stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Jets. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Ingram gave up more than two goals for the first time in four outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. Utah couldn't keep pace with the Jets in the third period, which is likely a result of the Hockey Club being on the second half of a back-to-back. Ingram slipped to 8-6-3 with a 3.34 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 17 starts. Considering Karel Vejmelka shut out the Wild on Thursday, he'll likely get the nod over Ingram for Sunday's game in Ottawa.
