NHL Player News

Stolarz will tend the twine at home versus the Oilers on Saturday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Stolarz and Joseph Woll have started to alternate starts in goal, and it's Stolarz's turn in the rotation. He has allowed just six goals over his last four games, but he's gone a modest 2-1-1 in that span. The Oilers have scored 20 goals over their last six contests, going 4-2-0 over that stretch.

Forsberg is expected to start in Saturday's road tilt versus Carolina, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Forsberg stopped 21 of 24 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to the Islanders in his last start Nov. 7. He's 3-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA and a .905 save percentage in seven appearances in 2024-25. Carolina figures to be a tough adversary -- the Hurricanes rank fourth offensively with 4.00 goals per game.

Vasilevskiy will protect the home goal versus the Devils on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Vasilevskiy ended a three-game skid Thursday with a 4-1 win over the Jets, stopping 23 of 24 shots to earn his 300th career win. The 30-year-old will take on another hot opponent in the Devils, who have scored 22 goals over their last six games.

Nedeljkovic will protect the home net against San Jose on Saturday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 6-2 loss to Columbus. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 2-3-3 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .884 save percentage through nine appearances this season. San Jose ranks 31st in the league with 2.33 goals per game in 2024-25.

Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Miner made a relief appearance Friday, stopping 12 of 13 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Washington. Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is day-to-day, which is why Miner was with the NHL club. Colorado doesn't play again until Monday's road game against Philadelphia, so Miner might be recalled if Georgiev is unavailable for that match.

Daccord is set to start in Saturday's home game against the Islanders, per Ethan Sears of the New York Post.

Daccord has won his past three starts while stopping 77 of 83 shots (.928 save percentage). That gives him a 7-3-1 record, 2.55 GAA and .918 save percentage across 11 appearances in 2024-25. The Islanders rank 25th offensively with 2.65 goals per game this season.

Soderblom is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Soderblom has a 1-2-1 record, 2.27 GAA and .933 save percentage in four appearances this season. While those are great numbers, he remains firmly behind Petr Mrazek, who has logged 13 outings in 2024-25, on the depth chart. The Canucks have an 8-4-3 record and rank 16th offensively with 3.13 goals per game.

Silovs will patrol the home crease Saturday against Chicago, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Silovs hasn't earned a win through four appearances this season while stopping 63 of 78 shots. Chicago ranks 30th in the league with 2.41 goals per game in 2024-25. Kevin Lankinen will get a break after making six straight starts, but he could play in the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back when Nashville visits Sunday.

Martin is expected to patrol the home crease Saturday against Ottawa, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Martin will make his second NHL start in 2024-25 because Frederik Andersen (lower body) and Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) are both unavailable. The 29-year-old Martin has stopped 25 of 31 shots in two appearances with the Hurricanes this season, including a relief outing against Utah on Wednesday after Kochetkov sustained an injury. Ottawa sits 11th in the league this campaign with 3.44 goals per game.

Oettinger will guard the road net Saturday in Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Oettinger's been sharp of late, going 3-1-0 with a .908 save percentage over his last four starts. However, he'll have a tough matchup Saturday against the Wild, who are averaging 3.50 goals per game.
