Wolf allowed five goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah.

Wolf has allowed nine goals on 62 shots over his last two outings, both losses. The 23-year-old started 2024-25 with three straight wins, but it appears things are evening out for the Flames. Wolf is now 3-2-0 with a 3.19 GAA and a .907 save percentage over five starts. If he continues to alternate starts with Dan Vladar, Wolf's next game would be Sunday at home versus the Oilers, sans Connor McDavid (ankle).

Ingram stopped 30 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Ingram put in a strong effort to end his personal three-game losing streak as well as Utah's four-game skid. The 27-year-old netminder improved to 5-2-2 with a 3.53 GAA and an .880 save percentage through nine outings this season. Utah's defensive injuries could continue to make Ingram's job tougher, but he represents the team's best option in goal and should continue to start a majority of the games.

Samsonov will protect the road goal Wednesday versus the Kings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Samsonov has won three of his four starts this season, and his one defeat was an overtime loss on the road against the Panthers. He has allowed a total of nine goals on 133 shots, good for a .932 save percentage. The Golden Knights are looking for their first win away from T-Mobile Arena.

Kuemper will start at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kuemper won his return from a lower-body injury, stopping 24 of 26 shots against Utah on Saturday. He'll draw a tough start Wednesday, though the Golden Knights have yet to win away from home (0-2-1).

Brossoit (knee) won't join the Blackhawks before the end of their current road trip, which still includes games in San Jose on Thursday, Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Wednesday.

Brossoit hasn't yet played for Chicago in 2024-25. When he is healthy enough to return, Arvid Soderblom might be reassigned to the minors, but it's also possible that the Blackhawks will carry three goaltenders. Either way, Petr Mrazek would likely continue to get the majority of Chicago's starts.

Wolf will tend the twine on the road versus Utah on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has been splitting starts with Dan Vladar, with the duo going every other night through the first nine games of the campaign. In his four outings this year, the 23-year-old Wolf is 3-1-0 with a 2.74 GAA and .924 save percentage. Based on the current rotation, Vladar will get the nod at home Friday versus New Jersey before Wolf is back in the crease at home against the Oilers on Sunday.

Markstrom will be in the road crease for Wednesday's game against the Canucks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom was in the starter's crease during Wednesday's morning skate, and he'll draw the start for a second consecutive game. The 34-year-old has had mixed results over his first eight outings of the season, logging a 4-3-1 record, 3.01 GAA and .895 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off Wednesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll start on the road against Colorado.

Vasilevskiy has earned wins in his last two starts, posting a 0.97 GAA and .971 save percentage over those outings. He'll attempt to stay hot against the Avalanche, who have scored 3.60 goals per game over 10 contests this year.

Annunen will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home game against Tampa Bay, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Kaapo Kahkonen is getting the start Wednesday, while Alexandar Georgiev will serve as the backup. Annunen has a 4-1-0 record, 2.47 GAA and .905 save percentage across six appearances this season. This likely isn't a sign that he has fallen out of favor with head coach Jared Bednar. Instead, this is more of a byproduct of the Avalanche having three goaltenders on their roster.

Silovs is slated to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Silovs hasn't been in net since allowing three goals on 26 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 15. The Canucks have been leaning heavily on Kevin Lankinen, who has done well overall with a 4-0-2 record, 2.29 GAA and .920 save percentage across six outings. However, Lankinen has struggled recently, surrendering at least three goals in each of his past three starts, which might be why the Canucks decided it was time to mix things up. New Jersey ranks ninth offensively with 3.67 goals per game, so Silovs is drawing a tough assignment.
