Dostal will protect the road net in Saturday's game versus the Rangers, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Dostal will make his fifth straight start, having gone 2-1-1 with 11 goals allowed over his previous four outings. He's faced at least 30 shots in four of his five starts this year, and playing against the high-tempo Rangers will likely make the 24-year-old a busy man again Saturday.

Soderblom (illness) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's road matchup against Dallas, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Soderblom will miss his second straight game. He has posted a record of 0-1-1 this season, stopping 51 of 56 shots. Petr Mrazek will start again versus the Stars after dropping a 3-2 decision to Nashville on Friday. Drew Commesso will be the backup netminder.

Mrazek will guard the road goal Saturday against Dallas, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Mrazek made 31 saves in Friday's 3-2 loss to Nashville. He will play again because Arvid Soderblom (illness) is unavailable, and Chicago probably doesn't want Drew Commesso's first NHL start to be on the road against the high-powered Stars. The 32-year-old Mrazek has a 2-4-0 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .892 save percentage this season.

Andersen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, indicating he will defend the road net Saturday against the Kraken.

Andersen has won two of three outings this season. He has stopped 58 of 61 shots en route to winning his past two starts. Seattle has scored 26 goals over eight games this campaign.

Ingram will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Kings.

During his last outing, Ingram surrendered four goals on eight shots before getting pulled after the first period in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Ottawa. He has a 4-1-1 record despite allowing 21 goals on 151 shots. LA has generated 25 goals through eight games this season.

Kuemper will patrol the home net Saturday against Utah, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

After missing four games due to a lower-body injury, Kuemper suited up as David Rittich's backup in Thursday's 3-2 win over San Jose. The 34-year-old Kuemper has a 1-0-2 record this campaign, stopping 89 of 100 shots. Utah has produced 23 goals over eight games this season.

Stolarz will defend the road net Saturday against Boston, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Stolarz is coming off a 32-save performance in Monday's 5-2 win over Tampa Bay. He has a 3-2-0 record with a 1.83 GAA and a .938 save percentage through five starts this season. Boston has registered 23 goals in eight outings this campaign.

Vanecek will defend the road net Saturday against the Golden Knights, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Vanecek has surrendered 11 goals on 95 shots en route to a record of 0-3-0 through four appearances this season. Vegas has accounted for 35 goals in eight games this campaign.

Lankinen will guard the home net Saturday against the Penguins, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Lankinen will make his fourth consecutive start. The 29-year-old netminder has a 3-0-1 record this campaign, allowing seven goals on 119 shots. He'll face a Pittsburgh team coming off a 4-0 shutout loss to the Oilers on Friday.

Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate and is slated to get the home start versus San Jose on Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Samsonov will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill played in Friday's 6-4 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Samsonov has a 2-0-1 record through three appearances this season while surrendering six goals on 107 shots. San Jose has a mark of 0-6-2 heading into Saturday's matchup, scoring only 15 goals.
