Saros is slated to start on the road against Toronto on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Saros has a 6-10-5 record, 2.62 GAA and .911 save percentage in 21 outings in 2024-25. He's gone 0-1-3 across his past four appearances while stopping 96 of 109 shots (.881 save percentage). The Maple Leafs are 15-7-2 and rank 15th in goals per game with 3.08.

Daccord stopped 17 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Daccord gave up goals in the early stages of the first and third periods, but two late goals from Yanni Gourde and Brandon Tanev allowed the 28-year-old netminder to get back to winning ways. He's gone 2-3-0 in his last five starts, however, so the lack of consistency has been an issue for fantasy managers who continue to rely on him. Daccord has posted a 3.13 GAA and an .874 save percentage in that five-game stretch.

Mrazek is expected to start at home against Boston on Wednesday, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Mrazek will try to rebound after losing his past two starts while stopping just 56 of 64 shots (.875 save percentage). He's 7-10-1 with a 2.79 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 18 outings overall. Boston has struggled offensively in 2024-25, ranking 30th in goals per game with 2.48. The Bruins are on a roll, though, winning five of their past seven.

Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

Wallstedt was recalled Tuesday and returned to the minors after being a healthy scratch in Minnesota's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver. His brief stint in the NHL might have just been for developmental purposes to give him a chance to work with the big club, especially because Iowa is off until Saturday anyway. The 22-year-old has a 4.34 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 10 outings with Iowa in 2024-25.

Martin was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Martin effectively cost himself the backup job in Carolina after going 2-3-1 with a 4.38 GAA and .825 save percentage in his last six outings. Even with Pyotr Kochetkov now healthy after suffering a concussion, the Hurricanes were concerned enough about Martin's play that they signed journeyman backstop Dustin Tokarski to an NHL deal Monday and brought him up to the NHL in favor of Martin on Wednesday.

Tokarski was recalled by the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Tokarski joined the Hurricanes on a two-way deal Monday, and he'll join the NHL club a few days later since Spencer Martin was assigned to AHL Chicago in a corresponding move. Tokarski should serve as the backup to Pyotr Kochetkov since Frederik Andersen (knee) remains sidelined.

Korpisalo stopped 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

The 30-year-old was beaten twice by the red-hot Lucas Raymond, but Korpisalo shut down the rest of the Red Wings en route to his third straight win and sixth of the season. The 30-year-old hasn't taken a regulation loss since late October, going 5-0-1 over his last eight appearances with a dazzling 1.95 GAA and .926 save percentage, but as yet the Bruins haven't been willing to move Korpisalo into a full timeshare with Jeremy Swayman.

Husso made 32 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Boston.

The Red Wings twice grabbed one-goal leads, but Husso couldn't make them stick, and he had little chance on Pavel Zacha's OT winner. With Alex Lyon (lower body) on IR and Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined until at least the weekend, Husso figures to hold down the fort in the Detroit crease in the short term. The 29-year-old goalie is still looking for his first win of the season in the NHL, going 0-2-2 in four outings with a 4.22 GAA and .856 save percentage.

Luukkonen turned aside 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

The Sabres seemed to have the game in the bag when they jumped out to a 4-0 lead less than 12 minutes into the first period, but Buffalo completely collapsed in the third, getting outshot 17-7. Luukkonen tried desperately to stem the tide, but all four Colorado goals in the final frame came either on rebounds his defense couldn't clear, or on deflections. Luukkonen is 0-2-1 over his last three starts, but since the beginning of November, he's delivered a stellar 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage in 10 outings.

Wedgewood stopped all 22 shots he faced after replacing Alexandar Georgiev midway through the first period Tuesday, recording the win in a 5-4 victory over the Sabres.

The Avs dug a 4-0 hole for themselves before the 12-minute mark of the first frame, but switching goaltenders seemed to light a spark under the club and they rallied for a remarkable comeback win. It was Wedgewood's first appearance for Colorado since being traded west from Nashville, and the win was just his second of the season. The 32-year-old netminder has a mediocre 3.12 GAA and .895 save percentage in six outings, but Georgiev's recent struggles have likely opened the door for Wedgewood to at least move into a timeshare.
