Georgiev (upper body) will participate in Wednesday's team skate and could be in the mix to return for Thursday's road game against Washington, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Georgiev sustained an upper-body injury last week and is on injured reserve, but he's closing in on a return to game action. Whether he'll be available Thursday depends on how he feels after Wednesday's team skate, but even if he's unavailable against the Capitals, it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up soon.

Hellebuyck made 20 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

The reigning Vezina Trophy winner took the loss in Florida on Saturday in the first game of a home-and-home set, coughing up a season-high five goals, but Hellebuyck turned the tables back in Winnipeg. The 31-year-old goalie has been one of the main reasons the Jets have the best record in the NHL, going 13-2-0 through 15 starts with a 2.20 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Fedotov will defend the home crease against the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Fedotov has been effective in recent outings, posting a 3-0-0 record, 2.22 GAA and .918 save percentage over his last three starts. The 27-year-old had been operating as the No. 2 netminder over the first month of the season but should see consistent playing time in the near future while Samuel Ersson (lower body) is on injured reserve.

Bobrovsky turned aside 21 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Winnipeg, with the Jets' final two goals getting scored into an empty net.

After shutting out the Jets back home in Florida on Saturday, Bobrovsky had less success in the road rematch, with Mark Scheifele beating him once in each period. It's the third time in six November starts that Bobrovsky has given up at least four goals, and while he has a 4-2-0 record on the month, it comes with a less impressive 3.00 GAA and .895 save percentage.

Utah announced Wednesday that Ingram is dealing with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.

Ingram started Monday's home game against the Capitals but was pulled in the second period after he allowed four goals on 13 shots en route to the loss. His injury may have contributed to his struggles and early removal from the game, and he's remained in Utah to be further evaluated while the team prepares for a four-game road trip that begins Thursday in Boston. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old will rejoin the team before the final game of the road trip, which will be in Montreal on Tuesday, but Karel Vejmelka will likely see increased playing time in Ingram's absence, while Jaxson Stauber was recalled from AHL Tucson on an emergency basis Wednesday.

Binnington stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild, with Minnesota's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The teams were tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but Binnington couldn't stem the tide as the Wild kept pressing. The 31-year-old netminder has lost four of his last five starts, going 1-3-1 with a 3.97 GAA and .852 save percentage, but with Joel Hofer also struggling, Binnington's spot at the top of the depth chart doesn't seem to be in much jeopardy.

Ersson (lower body), who remains on injured reserve, has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Carolina and is considered day-to-day.

Ersson tweaked a lower-body injury at practice last Wednesday, and it's encouraging to see him deemed day-to-day after he initially carried a return timetable of 1-2 weeks. It's not yet clear when the 25-year-old netminder will be able to return to game action, but he seems to be progressing well in his recovery.

Gustavsson made 22 saves in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

The Wild never trailed in the game, and Gustavsson had little chance on the two pucks that did get past him. The 26-year-old netminder has shaken off his rough 2023-24 campaign and is back in elite form, posting a 9-3-2 record over 14 appearances with a 2.07 GAA and .926 save percentage.

Silovs stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

The Canucks scored 34 seconds into the game, but they lost the lead less than two minutes later and never pulled ahead again. Silovs was unable to build momentum after an excellent performance in a win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. The 23-year-old netminder is down to a 1-3-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .857 save percentage over six appearances. The Canucks are set to start a six-game road trip Saturday in Ottawa. They have one back-to-back set during their travels with a visit to Boston next Tuesday followed by a stop in Pittsburgh next Wednesday, so Silovs' next start is likely to be in one of those two contests.

Shesterkin allowed three goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Shesterkin gave up two goals in the first period and another in the second, but he shut the door in the third to get his fourth win in his last six outings. It wasn't a particularly strong start -- Shesterkin has given up three or more goals in four of his last seven appearances. He's now 8-4-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 13 starts this season. Shesterkin's uneven performances could allow for a slightly larger workload for Jonathan Quick in the near term.
