  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Expected starter for Saturday

    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.

  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Placed on injured reserve

    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.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Named starter for Saturday's matchup

    Gibson will start Saturday's home game against the Blues, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Gibson has alternated wins and losses across his past three appearances, but he'll attempt to pick up a second consecutive win Saturday. Across his last four outings, the 33-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .892 save percentage.

  • Flames' Arsenii Sergeev: Recalled by Calgary

    Sergeev was recalled from AHL Calgary on Friday.

    Sergeev got his first taste of NHL action late last season, and he'll rejoin the Flames ahead of Friday's game against the Kraken. Dustin Wolf has already been named the starter against Seattle, but Sergeev's promotion suggests that Devin Cooley (lower body) may be unavailable as a backup. Across six appearances in the AHL to begin the regular season, Sergeev has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .907 save percentage.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Defending home crease Friday

    Wolf will start Friday's home game against the Kraken, Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

    Wolf entered Wednesday's game against the Oilers at the start of the second period after Devin Cooley (lower body) exited the matchup. It's not yet clear whether Cooley will be available to dress as the backup for Friday's matchup, but Wolf will draw his first start since Oct. 15. Across six appearances to begin the regular season, he's gone 1-4-0 with a 4.81 GAA and .839 save percentage.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Allows four goals in overtime loss

    Wallstedt stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Wallstedt suffered his first home defeat of the season after Matthew Schaefer beat him just 33 seconds into overtime. The young netminder entered the contest after winning his last two starts, but this outing matched his season-worst goals-allowed total. Despite the disappointing result, his role in a competitive Wild squad should continue to provide fantasy opportunities, although his save efficiency remains important to monitor. He's enjoying a strong start to the season even if he has the occasional down performance, going 8-2-3 with a 2.14 GAA and a strong .916 save percentage in 13 starts.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Makes 22 saves in overtime win

    Sorokin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    Sorokin allowed one goal in each period of regulation before keeping Minnesota off the scoreboard in the extra frame. His established starting role continues to provide considerable fantasy value, although inconsistent save efficiency can occasionally offset his strong win potential. Even though he's won four of his last five appearances (4-1-0), Sorokin also has a slightly subpar .896 save percentage on 135 shots faced in that span.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Allows four goals in road defeat

    Swayman stopped 14 of 18 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

    Swayman endured a difficult night, finishing with a .778 save percentage as St. Louis capitalized on its limited scoring opportunities. The Bruins generated considerably more shots than their opponents, but the veteran netminder couldn't provide the stability needed to keep them competitive. Swayman's established starting role should continue providing fantasy opportunities, although performances like this can significantly damage his ratios. The 27-year-old goaltender has lost three of his last four appearances, going 1-2-1 with a 3.23 GAA and an .870 save percentage in that span.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Stops 31 shots in win over Boston

    Hofer stopped 31 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

    Hofer delivered an impressive performance, finishing with a .969 save percentage while helping St. Louis secure a comfortable victory. This strong outing reinforces Hofer's fantasy appeal, and although his long-term value will depend on consistent starts, he seems to have created separation for the No. 1 role for now compared to Jordan Binnington. Hofer has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and an impressive .939 save percentage over his last four starts.

  • Akira Schmid G | FLA

    Panthers' Akira Schmid: Tending twine Friday

    Schmid will start Friday's home game against the Jets, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Schmid has picked up wins in each of his last two appearances, and he'll draw a third consecutive start Friday. Across his last five outings, he's gone 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .893 save percentage. During Tuesday's road start against Winnipeg, Schmid turned aside 24 of 25 shots (.960 save percentage) en route to the 5-1 victory.
