Markstrom stopped 21 of 24 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over Montreal.

Markstrom probably wants the first goal he let in back, but he did enough to earn his sixth win in 11 starts. The 34-year-old netminder has been on a run his last four outings, going 3-1 with a 1.76 goals-against average and .931 save percentage. The Devils' next game is Saturday at the Islanders, the first of a back-to-back set.

Ingram is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Thursday, according to Utah HC road broadcaster Mike Folta.

Ingram has a 5-2-3 record, 3.57 GAA and .881 save percentage in 10 outings in 2024-25. He turned aside 31 of 35 shots en route to a 4-3 overtime loss to Vegas in his last start Saturday. St. Louis is tied for 23rd offensively with 2.69 goals per game and has a 7-6-0 record.

Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Panthers on Thursday.

Wedgewood will get the second half of a back-to-back after Juuse Saros started Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. The 32-year-old Wedgewood will be making just his third start of the season, having allowed seven goals on 48 shots across his first two outings. Given the back-to-back and the quality of the opponent, Wedgewood is a risky option for fantasy managers.

Kolosov, who was initially announced as the starter for Thursday's road tilt against Tampa Bay, will miss the game due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day beyond that.

Ivan Fedotov will play between the pipes Thursday. Kyle Konin has signed an amateur tryout to serve as the emergency backup goaltender. Kolosov has a record of 0-3-0 with a 3.93 GAA and an .863 save percentage in three appearances in 2024-25.

Fedotov will start Thursday on the road versus the Lightning.

The start was originally supposed to go to Aleksei Kolosov, but he was injured in the morning skate Thursday. Fedotov will instead draw in for his first game action since Oct. 23, when he allowed four goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Capitals. The 27-year-old will have an emergency backup (Kyle Konin), so Fedotov will likely play the full game regardless of his performance.

Soderblom will start Thursday's road game against the Stars, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.

Soderblom will make just his fourth start of the season in the second half of a back-to-back set. The 25-year-old has had mixed results early in the year, posting a 1-1-1 record, 2.35 GAA and .927 save percentage over his three appearances.

Grubauer had an accident while at home. While he's not seriously injured, he isn't expected to be available for Friday's home game against Vegas and is day-to-day beyond that, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports Thursday.

Grubauer has a 1-5-0 record, 3.27 GAA and .877 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. Joey Daccord will likely start against the Golden Knights, and Ales Stezka or Niklas Kokko will probably be recalled from AHL Coachella Valley to serve as the understudy.

Fleury is set to start on the road against San Jose on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Fleury has a 2-0-1 record, 2.92 GAA and .899 save percentage in three appearances in 2024-25. This will be his first start since Oct. 29. He's getting a favorable matchup -- San Jose has a 4-8-2 record and is tied for 27th offensively with 2.43 goals per game.

Lankinen will patrol the visiting crease in LA on Thursday, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

Lankinen has yet to lose a game in regulation time as he is 6-0-2 with a 2.09 GAA and a .923 save percentage. His play has taken all the worry of Thatcher Demko's knee injury and undetermined return out of play. Lankinen will face the Kings, who are averaging 3.36 goals this season.

Kochetkov is slated to tend the twine at home against Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Kochetkov will make his fifth consecutive appearance in the crease and is riding a five-game winning streak in which he posted a 2.59 GAA and .883 save percentage. As long as Frederik Andersen (lower body) remains on the shelf, the 25-year-old Kochetkov should continue to see the majority of the starts -- especially considering the Canes don't have a back-to-back on the schedule until they face the Senators and Blues on Nov. 16 and 17, respectively.
