Lyon made 32 saves in a 1-0 loss to Nashville on Saturday.

Lyon was locked in a goalie duel with Juuse Saros until late in the third period. However, Filip Forsberg pulled the puck out of a scrum and went high over the glove of Lyon at the 14:46 mark for the game's only goal. It was a tough-luck loss for Lyon, who played well enough to win. He has struggled since Feb. 27, going 0-8-0 in his past eight starts. He has allowed four or more goals six times during that span. Still, Lyon may have turned the corner Saturday against a Predators team that extended their team-record point streak to 17 games with the win.

Saros made 23 saves in a 1-0 win over Detroit on Saturday.

Saros has been otherworldly for more than a month. His last regulation loss was to Dallas on Feb. 15. Since then, Juice has gone 11-0-2 and looks every bit the part of a Vezina Trophy candidate. Time will tell -- he was robbed of a nomination last season after finishing fourth in the balloting. He was a finalist for the award in 2022. Saros is at the apex of his career, and his fantasy managers are reaping the benefits.

Woll will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Sunday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Woll won't dress Saturday versus the Oilers, which the Maple Leafs can do while carrying three goalies on the active roster. As a result, he will remain fresh for a challenging start in the second half of Toronto's back-to-back. The 25-year-old has gone 2-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 105 shots since he returned from an ankle injury at the end of February.

Johansson has not played since Feb. 25 against New Jersey.

That was the last time the Lightning had a back-to-back set of games. The team plays two games this weekend, and Andrei Vasilevskiy will see action in Saturday's road matchup against the Kings. No starter has been named for the team's game Sunday in Anaheim yet, but it could be Johansson's net if Tampa Bay decides to rest Vasilevskiy.

Korpisalo is expected to start on the road against New Jersey on Saturday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Korpisalo stopped just 20 of 26 shots in a 6-2 loss to Boston on Tuesday. He has a 15-21-4 record, 3.37 GAA and .887 save percentage in 44 outings in 2023-24. The Devils, who rank 11th offensively with 3.27 goals per game, figure to be a difficult adversary for Korpisalo.

Saros will protect the home net Saturday versus Detroit.

Saros has won 10 of his past 12 outings, surrendering two goals or fewer in each of his victories during that span. He has stopped 68 of 73 shots during his three-game winning streak. In 55 appearances this season, he has a 30-21-4 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Detroit ranks seventh in the league this campaign with 3.43 goals per contest.

Markstrom (lower body) is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

It will be Markstrom's first appearance since March 9. He has a 22-17-2 record, 2.68 GAA and .910 save percentage across 41 outings in 2023-24. The 34-year-old's first assignment back figures to be a difficult one -- the Canucks rank fifth offensively with 3.50 goals per game. Now that Markstrom is healthy, he will likely receive the bulk of the starts because Dan Vladar (hip) won't play again this season. Dustin Wolf, who featured in all of Calgary's past five contests, will slide into the backup role.

Mrazek is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Mrazek will attempt to rebound after stopping just 18 of 24 shots in a 6-2 loss to LA in his last start Tuesday. He's 15-26-4 with a 3.09 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 48 outings in 2023-24. The Sharks, who rank 31st offensively with 2.17 goals per game, figure to be a favorable matchup for Mrazek.

Hill will patrol the home crease Saturday against the Blue Jackets, SinBin Vegas reports.

Hill has surrendered seven goals on 56 shots (.875 save percentage) during his two-game losing skid. He has a 17-10-2 record this season with a 2.65 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 31 appearances. Columbus ranks 25th in the league with 2.87 goals per contest this campaign.

Vasilevskiy will guard the road goal Saturday against the Kings, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

Vasilevskiy has stopped 142 of 152 shots for a .934 save percentage during his five-game winning streak. In 43 appearances this campaign. he has earned a 26-16-1 record with a 2.91 GAA and an .899 save percentage. The Kings sit 18th in the league this season with 3.10 goals per contest.
