Daccord was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network, indicating he will protect the home net Saturday against Carolina.

Daccord is coming off a 32-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has won three of four starts this season while surrendering 12 goals on 129 shots. Carolina has accounted for 19 tallies in six outings this campaign. This is the first time the Kraken have started the same goalie in back-to-back games, which suggests Daccord may be starting to stake a claim to the No. 1 job.

Binnington was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, indicating he will guard the road net Saturday against Montreal.

Binnington is coming off a 40-save performance in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto. He has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .914 save percentage through five appearances this campaign. Montreal has compiled 18 goals across seven outings in 2024-25.

Gustavsson will protect the visiting crease in Philadelphia on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson has been sensational thus far this season, going 4-0-1 with a 1.40 GAA and a .952 save percentage. He has not allowed more than two goals in any of his five starts. He should have a good matchup against a 1-5-1 Flyers team, averaging only 2.29 goals per game.

Luukkonen will guard the home cage Saturday against the Red Wings, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Luukkonen will make his third consecutive start after winning his last two outings, posting a .940 save percentage in that span. The 25-year-old netminder is 2-2-1 on the year with a .903 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA.

Oettinger will patrol the home crease Saturday against the Blackhawks, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.

Oettinger is coming off a 21-save effort in Tuesday's loss to Buffalo. The defeat ended his four-game winning streak. Oettinger has allowed more than two goals in a game on only two occasions this campaign. Chicago has 20 goals across eight outings this season.

Tarasov will get the road start Saturday against the Predators, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Tarasov will make his third straight start following a 26-save victory over Toronto on Tuesday. He has a 3-1-0 record in four appearances this season, allowing 13 goals on 116 shots. The 25-year-old netminder will face a Nashville team averaging just 2.43 goals per game, tied for the fourth-lowest mark in the league.

Knight was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to get the road start against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Knight will get his first start in five games, though he came on in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky on Tuesday and stopped all six shots in a 5-1 loss to the Wild. Knight is 1-1-0 in three appearances, turning aside 63 of 70 shots (.900 save percentage). The Islanders have posted 2.43 goals per game in seven appearances this season.

Lindgren will guard the road net Saturday against the Lightning, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Lindgren has won his last two starts, allowing just three goals on 42 shots in that span. He'll have a tougher task Saturday against a Lightning team averaging four goals per game through seven outings this campaign.

Swayman will guard the home net Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Swayman's dropped his last four starts, allowing 13 goals on 130 shots in that span. The 25-year-old netminder will look to snap his losing streak against a Maple Leafs team that's scored just three goals in its last two games.

Hill stopped 35 of 39 shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Senators.

Hill gave up three goals in the first period and another in the second. Even though Vegas completed a comeback thanks to three goals in the final minutes of the third frame, this was another subpar outing for the 28-year-old goaltender. Hill has not posted a game with a save percentage of .900 or higher in five appearances despite posting a 3-2-0 record.
