NHL Player News

Comrie will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Connor Hellebuyck had a 17-save performance in Friday's win over the Penguins, but that light workload won't lead to him starting both halves of a back-to-back. Comrie will instead draw in for the first time since Nov. 14. The 29-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage over his first four appearances this season. The Predators enter this game in last place with 2.30 goals per game this season.

Allen will protect the road goal versus the Capitals on Saturday, Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen has allowed just three goals on 85 shots over his last three outings, winning two of those games. The Capitals have averaged 4.16 goals per game this season, but they are far less intimidating without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) in the lineup.

Kolosov made 19 saves on 21 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over Chicago on Saturday.

Kolosov and the Flyers spotted the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead through two periods before earning a comeback victory. The 22-year-old netminder posted his first NHL win after losing four outings this season. He has a 3.34 GAA and an .877 save percentage through five appearances with Philadelphia in 2024-25.

Mrazek stopped 34 of 37 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Mrazek and the Blackhawks squandered a 2-0 third-period lead in Saturday's defeat. The 32-year-old goaltender helped Chicago secure a point in the standings, but he arguably deserved a better result. His record drops to 6-8-1 despite a respectable 2.68 GAA and an impressive .912 save percentage through 15 starts.

Georgiev will defend the road net versus Florida on Saturday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.

Georgiev has won his last four outings while stopping 96 of 105 shots. He made 28 saves in a 2-1 win over Washington on Thursday after missing two games due to an upper-body injury. Georgiev has a 5-5-0 record with a 3.31 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 11 appearances this season. Florida ranks ninth in the league with 3.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Saturday against Utah, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-3-3 record with a 3.17 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Utah sits 24th in the league with 2.58 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gustavsson will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Flames, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson is coming off a 22-save effort in Tuesday's 4-2 win over St. Louis. He has a 9-3-2 record with one shutout, a 2.07 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Calgary sits 22nd in the league with 2.60 goals per game in 2024-25.

Daccord is expected to start on the road against LA on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Daccord has been a standout performer with a 9-3-1 record, 2.31 GAA and .923 save percentage in 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's won his past five starts while allowing just eight goals on 131 shots (.939 save percentage). The Kings are tied for 16th offensively with 3.05 goals per game.

Vladar will start in Calgary's home game against Minnesota on Saturday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

In his last start, Vladar stopped 29 of 32 shots in a 3-1 loss to Vancouver on Nov. 12. He has a 3-4-2 record, 2.65 GAA and .906 save percentage through nine outings in 2024-25. Minnesota has a fantastic 13-3-3 record and ranks seventh in the league with 3.47 goals per game. The Wild will be a challenging opponent for Vladar and the Flames despite the absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body).

Rittich is expected to start at home against Seattle on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Rittich has three wins, a 1.43 GAA and a .935 save percentage in his last five appearances. He has a 6-5-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .897 save percentage across 11 outings this season. Seattle ranks 18th in the league with 2.85 goals per game this campaign.
