Greaves will guard the road goal versus the Stars on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Greaves is set to make his second start in a row. He took a loss in his last outing, stopping 24 of 27 shots against the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old netminder has had some uneven results to start the year, posting a 2-4-0 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .884 save percentage. If he can't turn things around, he could end up falling behind Cam Talbot on the depth chart.

Merilainen will tend the home twine versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of the Sekeres and Price podcast reports.

Merilainen will make his fourth straight start. He's allowed 12 goals on 81 shots over his last three outings, though he's managed to go 1-2-0 in that span. The 24-year-old netminder looks to have built some trust with head coach Manny Malhotra, but Merilainen's performance lately hasn't made him a reliable fantasy option.

Reimer (upper body) is expected to be available for Sunday's home matchup against Edmonton, per NHL.com.

Reimer was a full participant in Friday's practice, and according to Colin Stephenson of Newsday, the 38-year-old netminder looked sharper during Saturday's on-ice session. Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) also participated in Saturday's practice, but Dylan Garand was the first goalie off the ice and could face the Oilers on Sunday, per Stephenson.

Tomkins is set to start on the road against the Rangers on Sunday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Tomkins is with the Oilers because Devon Levi (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. The 32-year-old Tomkins has posted a 3-2-1 record, 3.33 GAA and .892 save percentage in six career NHL regular-season outings. Edmonton is gearing up for the second half of a back-to-back set after Tristan Jarry earned an 18-save shutout victory over the Islanders on Saturday. Edmonton is now 10-2-2 this season and is coming off consecutive shutout wins after besting Calgary 4-0 on Wednesday.

Forsberg is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Forsberg has gone 0-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and a .902 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Kings have been limited to just a single goal in each of his past four outings. Buffalo is 6-4-3 and has averaged 3.08 goals per game this season.

Luukkonen will defend the road net against the Kings on Saturday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Luukkonen has lost his last three outings (0-1-2), allowing 11 goals on 95 shots. He has a 3-3-3 record, a 3.56 GAA and an .866 save percentage in nine appearances this campaign. Los Angeles (4-6-2) ranks 24th in the league this season with 2.83 goals per game.

Sergeev will guard the road goal against Colorado on Saturday, per Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Sergeev will get the second half of Calgary's back-to-back after Dustin Wolf played in Friday's 6-2 win over Seattle. The 23-year-old Sergeev has a 4-2-0 record, a 2.86 GAA and a .907 save percentage in six AHL appearances this season. Colorado (7-5-1) sits second in the league this campaign with 4.15 goals per game.

Ersson is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Ersson has gone 0-3-1 with a 4.46 GAA and an .849 save percentage in six appearances in 2026-27. Maybe he can finally get into the win column against San Jose, which has been a middle-of-the-road team with a 7-6-1 record this season. The Sharks also rank 25th in goals per game with 2.79.

Blackwood is set to draw Saturday's home start against the Flames, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

Blackwood will don his mask on Halloween against the Flames, where he'll look to extend his current win streak to three games. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop has a 6-3-0 record, a 2.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage across nine appearances this season. Given the combination of his recent success and Calgary's ranking as the 27th-best offense with 2.62 goals per game this season, Blackwood is positioned as one of the top starts in all fantasy formats for Saturday's Halloween slate.

Nedeljkovic will start Saturday's home game against Ottawa, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Nedeljkovic surrendered five goals on 34 shots in last Saturday's 6-4 loss to Boston. He has a 3-1-1 record, a 2.88 GAA and a .903 save percentage in five appearances this season. Ottawa (8-5-1) is tied for 19th in the league with 3.00 goals per game in the 2026-27 campaign.
