Sorokin will defend the road net against the Canadiens on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Sorokin is coming off a 23-save effort in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa. He has a 25-16-2 record this campaign with six shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 43 appearances. Montreal sits fifth in the league with 3.46 goals per game this season.

Silvos will patrol the home crease versus Winnipeg on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Silovs is 5-2-0 in his last seven starts. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder is 15-9-8 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.90 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 32 appearances in 2025-26. The Jets are averaging 2.81 goals per game, 24th in the league this season.

Ullmark is expected to patrol the home crease against Toronto on Saturday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Ullmark occupied the starter's crease during the morning skate before being the first goalie off the ice. He has gone 2-2-0 in his last four outings while allowing only nine goals on 93 shots. He has a 21-10-7 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.79 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 39 appearances. Toronto ranks 16th in the league with 3.11 goals per game this season.

Thompson made 30 saves in Friday's 2-1 win over the Devils.

The 29-year-old netminder nearly came away with his third shutout of the season, but Jesper Bratt finally got a puck past him inside the final minute of the third period with New Jersey's net empty. Thompson has just one regulation loss in his last five starts, going 3-1-1 with a dazzling 1.98 GAA and .932 save percentage as the Capitals try to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Allen turned aside 26 of 27 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals, with Washington's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Ryan Leonard went top shelf on Allen from the high slot midway through the first period, and that looked like it might be the game's only offense until the teams traded goals inside the final two minutes of the third frame. Allen hasn't seen much action since the Olympic break, as the Devils have been leaning heavily on Jacob Markstrom. In his past three outings, Allen has gone 1-2-0 while giving up seven goals on 88 shots (.920 save percentage).

Woll stopped 32 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Carolina.

Toronto was outshot by the visitors 36-26 in the contest. However, Woll only really wobbled in the second period, as he got beaten three times on 17 shots -- once on a power play, once shorthanded, and once on a penalty shot by Eric Robinson. There wasn't much the 27-year-old Woll could do on Alexander Nikishin's laser off the post in OT. Woll has just one win in eight outings since the Olympic break, going 1-5-2 with a 3.70 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Fowler is expected to defend the home cage versus the Islanders on Saturday, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Fowler is 5-5-2 with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 12 NHL starts this season. He has spent plenty of time at the AHL level this season, posting a 19-7-1 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 27 appearances. The Islanders rank 22nd in the league in 2025-26 with 2.87 goals per game.

Bussi made 23 saves in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Bussi gave up a goal in each regulation period, including William Nylander's tying tally midway through the third. However, the 27-year-old Bussi escaped Toronto with the victory when Alexander Nikishin ripped home the winner in overtime. Bussi has been shaky since the Olympic break, giving up more than three goals in four of six starts and losing three straight heading into Friday. Over that six-start stretch, he's gone 3-3-0 with a 3.87 GAA and .844 save percentage, and he's fallen into a timeshare with Frederik Andersen as a result.

D'Aigle inked a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins on Saturday.

Pittsburgh selected D'Aigle in the third round, 84th overall, during the 2025 NHL Draft. He has a 14-21-3 record with a 3.58 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 39 appearances with QMJHL Victoriaville this season. D'Aigle was the league's player of the week in mid-November, and he has posted a .920 save percentage since Nov. 1.

Vanecek stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The last two goals by Anaheim were empty-netters.

Vanecek put in a decent effort, but it wasn't enough. He's allowed eight goals on 94 shots over his four appearances in March. The 30-year-old is down to 5-10-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 18 appearances this season. The Mammoth's goaltending usage continues to be unpredictable for fantasy managers, especially without clear communication from head coach Andre Tourigny. Expect Karel Vejmelka in goal versus the Kings on Sunday. Vanecek has played well enough lately to get his fair share of looks, especially if the Mammoth want to keep Vejmelka -- the league's busiest goalie -- fresh for a potential playoff run.
