Husso (lower body) suffered a setback in his return from a lower-body injury in warmups with AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Husso has made just one appearance since Dec. 18, aggravating his lower-body injury Feb. 13 versus Edmonton. It appears unlikely now that Husso will return before the end of the regular season. The 29-year-old goaltender went 9-5-2 this season with an .892 save percentage and a 3.55 GAA.

Greaves will get a road start Saturday versus the Predators, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

It'll be the fifth start in Columbus' last six games for Greaves because Daniil Tarasov (upper body) and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) are both sidelined. Greaves has gone 1-3-0 despite a solid .923 save percentage in his last four outings. He will face a Nashville team averaging 3.23 goals per contest.

Ullmark will guard the road net Saturday versus the Penguins, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Ullmark has won his last two starts, allowing just two goals on 61 shots in that span. Overall, he's 21-9-7 with a .916 save percentage and 2.55 this season. He'll take on a Penguins team that's averaging 3.05 goals per game.

Shesterkin will guard the home net Saturday versus the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Shesterkin will get a rematch with the Islanders after allowing three goals in a 4-2 loss on Long Island in his last outing. The 28-year-old netminder is 34-17-2 on the year with a .910 save percentage and 2.65 GAA.

Reimer will patrol the road crease in Toronto on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Reimer has seen limited action this season, going 9-8-2 with a 3.03 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 23 appearances. He won his only start against the Maple Leafs this season, turning aside 28 shots in a 4-2 victory in January. Reimer played his first six seasons with Toronto, and Saturday will mark his 500th career game in the NHL.

Korpisalo will defend the home crease versus Montreal on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Korpisalo was terrific in two wins over Montreal in January, stopping 45 of 48 shots. He had a tough loss Tuesday against the Panthers as he turned aside 28 shots in a 2-0 loss. Korpisalo is 20-25-4 with a 3.25 GAA and an .891 save percentage this season. The Canadiens are averaging 2.78 goals this season, 27th in the NHL.

Lankinen made 25 saves in Friday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

The 28-year-old netminder won his first game since March 21 and saw his shutout bid slip away late in the second period on a Philipp Kurashev power-play tally. Lankinen's 2.83 GAA and .908 save percentage on the season are solid enough for a backup, and with the Predators locked into a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, he could get the start in at least one of the team's final two regular-season games as Nashville tries to get Juuse Saros some rest ahead of the playoffs.

Nedeljkovic is projected to get the home start versus Boston on Saturday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

It will be Nedeljkovic's 11th straight start as he has taken over from Tristan Jarry as the Penguins' No. 1 netminder. Nedeljkovic has gone 7-0-3 with a 2.81 GAA and a .905 save percentage during this stretch, propelling the Penguins back into the playoff race. He will have a tough matchup Saturday, as Boston is atop the Atlantic Division standings, one point ahead of the Panthers.
