Primeau is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Saturday.

Primeau stopped 41 of 45 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Sunday. He's 8-9-2 with a 2.91 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 21 contests this season. The Senators, who have scored just 1.88 goals per game over their past eight outings, figure to be a favorable matchup for Primeau.

Lankinen will patrol the road crease versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.

Lankinen has been decent as the Predators' No. 2 option in 2023-24, going 10-6-0 while posting a 2.93 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 22 appearances. He'll try to pick up a road win in a favorable matchup with a Chicago team that's gone 16-19-4 at home this season.

Thompson will guard the home goal versus the Wild on Friday.

Thompson wasn't great in his last start, surrendering four goals on 30 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat to Vancounver on Monday. He'll try to get back in the win column in a middling home matchup with a Minnesota team that's gone 17-17-4 on the road this year.

Saros (rest) won't dress against the Blackhawks on Friday.

The Predators have clinched a playoff spot, so Saros will get the night off Friday. The 28-year-old netminder will undoubtedly see every start for Nashville in the postseason. He's gone 34-23-5 while posting a 2.82 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 62 appearances this year.

Grosenick was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Friday.

Grosenick's recall suggests Juuse Saros or Kevin Lankinen may be dealing with an injury. Grosenick's gone 17-7-1 while posting a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 28 AHL appearances this year.

Binnington was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Carolina.

Binnington is currently just two wins shy of the 30-win threshold, but the Blues have just three regular-seaon games left on the schedule. With the Blues still clinging to the hope of securing a wild-card spot, the team will likely continue to rely heavily on Binnington. In his last six outings, Binnington has suffered just one regulation loss while posting a 4-1-1 record.

Nedeljkovic made 25 saves in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Red Wings.

The 28-year-old netminder allowed three separate leads to slip through his fingers, but Nedeljkovic also made some big stops to help the Penguins secure a huge victory. He hasn't lost in regulation since March 9, and over his last 12 outings he's gone 8-0-3 with a 2.78 GAA and .905 save percentage. Pittsburgh sits one point ahead of the Wings, Capitals and Flyers in the race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Lyon stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

The 31-year-old netminder had little chance on an Erik Karlsson blast from the slot early in OT, but he did play well enough to earn Detroit a potentially crucial point in the standings. Lyon still has only two wins since the beginning of March, however, going 2-9-3 with a 3.65 GAA and .893 save percentage over his last 14 outings. The Red Wings sit one point back of Pittsburgh in the race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Bobrovsky made 25 saves in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

The shutout was his sixth of the season, tying Bobrovsky with Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram for the NHL lead. Bobrovsky is 3-1-1 over his last five starts with a 2.09 GAA and .918 save percentage as the Panthers try to overtake the Bruins atop the Atlantic Division standings, and Thursday's win was his 35th of the season -- the fifth time in his career he's reached that mark.

Greaves turned aside 42 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.

Matthew Tkachuk ripped a shot past Greaves just 47 seconds into the first period, and the 23-year-old netminder got little help the rest of the night as he faced a season-high 46 shots on net. Since his promotion in early April, Greaves has allowed 11 goals on 142 shots (.923 save percentage), but he has just a 3.02 GAA and 1-3-0 record to show for it as the Blue Jackets get ready to head back to the draft lottery.
