Vasilevskiy will tend the twine at home versus the Blues on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Vasilevskiy has allowed 11 goals over his last five games, winning four of them. He'll look to keep things rolling Thursday against a Blues team that has scored just 14 goals over the last six contests, winning just two of them.

Kolosov is set to guard the home goal against Los Angeles on Thursday.

Kolosov has a 4-5-1 record, 3.05 GAA and .889 save percentage over 10 appearances in 2024-25. This will be his first start since last Thursday, when he turned aside 25 of 26 shots en route to a 4-1 win over Detroit. The Kings are tied for 15th in the NHL with 3.03 goals per game.

Husso was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Cam Talbot hasn't returned from his lower-body injury, but Husso's demotion suggests Talbot might be an option for the Red Wings' upcoming back-to-back set against Montreal on Friday and Saturday. Husso has a 1-4-2 record, 3.46 GAA and .877 save percentage in eight appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. He's been far better with Grand Rapids, posting a 1.58 GAA and a .944 save percentage in five outings.

Swayman will be between the visiting pipes in Edmonton on Thursday, according to Jim McBride of the Boston Globe.

Swayman has won five of his last six starts, with the lone loss really hurting his stats, as he allowed eight goals on 35 shots (.771 save percentage) in Winnipeg on Dec. 10. Overall, Swayman is 11-10-1 with a 3.14 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 23 outings this season. He will face the Oilers, who rank eighth in the NHL with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Hill will patrol the home blue paint versus Vancouver on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hill saw his four-game winning streak come to a halt Saturday in Edmonton, as he allowed six goals on 34 shots. Hill is 13-5-2 with a 2.78 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 20 games this season. The Canucks are averaging 3.16 goals per game this year, which ranks 12th in the league.

Georgiev was the first goalie off Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the start at home against the Avalanche.

Georgiev was traded from Colorado to San Jose last week, and he's posted a 1-1-0 record, 3.52 GAA and .868 save percentage over his first two appearances with his new team. He'll draw the start for the third time in the Sharks' last four games and will face off against his former organization less than two weeks after being traded. Despite his familiarity with the team, the Avalanche could present a tough test Thursday, as they rank ninth in the league with 3.24 goals per game.

Ullmark will be between the pipes in Calgary on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Ullmark has been sensational over the last six appearances, going a perfect 6-0-0 while allowing only five goals on 178 shots (.972 save percentage). The white-hot streak has given the 31-year-old an 11-7-2 mark with a career-high three shutouts, a 2.39 GAA and a .915 save percentage this season. Ullmark will face the Flames, who are 26th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.63 goals per game.

Kuemper was the first goaltender off the ice at practice, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports, indicating that he will patrol the visiting crease in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Kuemper is 3-0-1 since returning from missing eight games with an undisclosed injury. He has allowed only six goals on 106 shots (.943 save percentage) since his return, boosting his record to 7-2-4 with a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Flyers are averaging 2.94 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 20th in the NHL.

Binnington will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game against the Lightning, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Binnington has been mired in a bit of a slump recently, as he's gone 0-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .888 save percentage over his last four starts. The 31-year-old will face an uphill battle Thursday if he hopes to end his skid, as the Lightning lead the league with 4.03 goals per game.

Skinner will defend the home crease against the Bruins on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Skinner has picked up wins in three of his last four starts, and he'll be between the pipes for a third consecutive game Thursday. Across five appearances this month, the 26-year-old has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.64 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He took the loss against Florida in his last start but will face a more favorable matchup against the Bruins, who are generating just 2.61 goals per game this season, which is the sixth-worst mark in the league.
