NHL Player News

Dostal is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Thursday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Dostal has a 10-11-3 record, 2.73 GAA and .913 save percentage in 24 outings this season. He stopped 23 of 26 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to Edmonton in his last start Friday. St. Louis ranks 24th in goals per game with 2.79.

Woll will start on the road versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Woll is on a five-game winning streak, during which he has allowed just 10 goals on 152 shots (.934 save percentage). The 26-year-old will face his toughest test in a while against the Hurricanes, who have scored 17 goals over their last six contests, going 3-2-1 in that span.

Grubauer is expected to start on the road against Columbus on Thursday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Grubauer will attempt to end his three-game losing streak -- he has a 3.01 GAA and an .890 save percentage in that span. The 33-year-old netminder is 5-12-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .880 save percentage in 18 outings overall. Columbus ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.37, though the Blue Jackets are missing Sean Monahan (wrist), who has been one of their offensive leaders.

Kochetkov is expected to start in Thursday's home tilt against Toronto, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Kochetkov has a 15-9-1 record, 2.50 GAA and .902 save percentage in 26 outings in 2024-25. He's struggled recently, allowing 14 goals on 136 shots (.897 save percentage) while earning just one win across his past five starts. The Maple Leafs rank 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

Stauber was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Thursday.

Stauber has a 2-1-1 record, 2.23 GAA and .925 save percentage in four appearances with Utah this season. Connor Ingram (upper body), who was with Tucson on a conditioning stint, has rejoined the NHL squad. Stauber will likely remain in the minors for the rest of 2024-25 unless Utah once again needs another goaltender due to an injury.

Ingram (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Tucson on Thursday. Additionally, the netminder has been activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

Ingram hasn't played in an NHL game since Nov. 18 versus the Capitals, a stretch of 22 games without an appearance due to his upper-body issue. With Utah entering a back-to-back, Ingram figures to get the start against the Sharks or the Islanders on Friday or Saturday, respectively, with Karel Vejmelka featuring in the other contest.

Markstrom will patrol the crease on the road versus the Rangers on Thursday, Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom has conceded two or fewer goals in 10 of his last 12 outings, posting a 9-2-1 record, 1.50 GAA and two shutouts over that stretch. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, the 34-year-old Markstrom could be called into action for each of the next four contests with Jake Allen firmly entrenched in the No. 2 role.

Hill is expected to start at home against the Islanders on Thursday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Hill has a 4-1-0 record, 1.81 GAA and .927 save percentage across his past five starts. He's 17-6-2 with a 2.58 GAA and .904 save percentage in 25 outings overall. The Islanders rank 26th in goals per game with 2.65.

Talbot is slated to be in goal against the Blackhawks at home Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Talbot is riding a limited two-game winning streak despite allowing a combined six goals on 48 shots over those outings. With Alex Lyon (upper body) injured, the veteran Talbot could see some extra starts over the Red Wings' next handful of outings -- though Ville Husso is also an option after being called up from the minors Wednesday.

Lyon (upper body) is considered day-to-day but may be able to get on the ice ahead of Friday's home game against Chicago, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Lyon exited Tuesday's game against the Senators due to an upper-body injury, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence. Cam Talbot will start for the Red Wings against Chicago, while it's unclear whether Lyon will be able to serve as a backup. However, with Ville Husso also on the active roster, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lyon held out, at least as a precautionary measure.
