Swayman is on track to guard the road goal against Utah on Saturday, Joe McDonald of RIGAlinks.com reports.

Swayman has gotten off to a rocky start, giving up four goals in two of his three starts. Swayman did not partake in the preseason as he didn't ink a contract until the end of training camp Oct. 6. The netminder is 2-1-0 with a 2.98 GAA and an .893 save percentage this season. He faces the upstart Utah HC, who are averaging 4.00 goals per game.

Saros will guard the home net Saturday against the Red Wings.

Saros is still looking to grab his first win of the 2024-25 season after allowing 11 goals on 90 shots en route to a mark of 0-3-0. The 29-year-old goaltender will face a Detroit team that's scored just three times in its last two contests.

Daccord was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times, indicating he will patrol the home crease Saturday against Calgary.

Daccord is coming off a 30-save performance in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over Nashville. He has stopped 64 of 71 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record this season. Calgary has four straight wins to open the 2024-25 campaign while producing 19 goals.

Ingram will protect the home net Saturday against Boston, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Ingram's three-game winning streak was snapped in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim. He has surrendered 16 goals on 121 shots through four outings this season. Boston has amassed 20 goals in five games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes in Ottawa on Saturday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Vasilevskiy is aiming for his fourth straight win to start the season. He has given up only five goals on 73 shots (.932 save percentage) and looks to have regained his form after a tough 2023-24 campaign in which he underwent back surgery during training camp and missed the first 20 games of the season. He played in 52 of the last 62 regular-season games, but was less than stellar, going 30-20-2 with a 2.90 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Senators have found the back of the net 13 times in four games this season.

Forsberg will protect the home net Saturday against Tampa Bay, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Forsberg is coming off a 32-save effort in Thursday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey. He has posted a record of 0-1-0 while allowing six goals on 44 shots in two appearances this season. Tampa Bay has potted 12 goals through three outings in 2024-25.

Primeau will protect the road crease against the Islanders on Saturday.

Primeau had a tough outing in his first game of the season, giving up six goals on 29 shots in a 6-4 loss versus Boston. Primeau is the backup to Sam Montembeault this season and should appear in 25-30 games, barring any injuries. The Islanders have scored only 10 goals in four games this season.

Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, indicating that he will defend the road net against the Devils.

During his Washington debut against Vegas on Tuesday, Thompson stopped 24 shots in a 4-2 win. New Jersey has supplied 22 goals through seven games this campaign.

Ullmark (strain) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Tampa Bay, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Ullmark will miss his third straight game, though he's close to being available to return, per coach Travis Green. Anton Forsberg will likely get the starting nod Saturday, while Ullmark targets a potential return in Tuesday's contest versus Utah.

Hofer will protect the home crease versus Carolina on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Hofer will play his second game in a row after picking up a 34-save shutout over the Islanders on Thursday. Hofer played well last season, going 15-12-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 30 regular-season games. His play could give him a shot at sharing the No. 1 job with Jordan Binnington this season.
