NHL Player News

Wolf will be between the home pipes versus Chicago on Friday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf was outstanding Wednesday, turning aside 42 shots in a 5-1 win over Columbus. The win was Wolf's second in a row, boosting his record to 4-8-1 with a 3.19 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 13 starts. The Blackhawks are averaging 3.14 goals per game, 15th in the NHL.

Woll (personal) will be sent to AHL Toronto for a conditioning stint, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Friday.

Woll has yet to see any game action, as he took a leave of absence early in training camp. The 27-year-old netminder was outstanding last season with the Maple Leafs, posting a 27-14-1 record with a 2.73 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 42 regular-season games. He should return within two weeks and will share the crease with Anthony Stolarz upon his return.

Quick is expected to guard the visiting crease in Detroit on Friday, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Quick has had only three starts this season and is coming off his best effort, shutting out the Canucks on Oct. 28. He is 2-1-0, stopping 64 of 68 shots in 2025-26. The Red Wings are 9-5-0, but they are managing only 3.00 goals per game.

Kolosov is expected to be sent down to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Kolosov finds himself as the odd man out now that Samuel Ersson has returned from a lower-body injury. In his two appearances for the Flyers this year, the 23-year-old Kolosov has gone 0-1-0 despite a solid 1.62 GAA and .929 save percentage. If he can keep playing at that level in the minors, Kolosov could force the Flyers to bring him back up at some point. For now, it will be Dan Vladar and Ersson splitting the workload in Philadelphia.

Talbot will patrol the home crease versus the Rangers on Friday, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Talbot is 5-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and an .897 save percentage over seven appearances this season. He has been perfect at home, posting a 2-0-0 record, allowing four goals on 48 shots. He has outplayed fellow veteran John Gibson in the early going. The Rangers are last in NHL scoring, generating only 2.21 goals per game.

Lindgren allowed four goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Penguins on Thursday.

Lindgren has now lost four straight games, posting a 0-3-1 record and 4.49 GAA during his slump. The Minnesota native was already expected to see less of the net this season than he did in 2024-25 (39 games), but this slump will only serve to further cement Logan Thompson as the No. 1 option in Washington.

Silovs faced 30 shots, stopping 27, in a 5-3 win over the Capitals on Thursday.

Silovs and the Penguins were up 3-0 in the second period when the wheels started to fall off. Washington evened the score 3-3, but Silovs did enough in the third period to hang on for the win. With the victory, the 24-year-old backstop brought his three-game losing streak to a close. It figures to be a heavy dose of Silovs in the crease for Pittsburgh over the next three weeks while Tristan Jarry (lower body) is sidelined. A back-to-back versus the Devils and Kings on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, will see Silovs split the workload with Sergei Murashov.

Oettinger conceded six goals on 24 shots in a 7-5 loss to Anaheim on Thursday. The seventh marker was an empty-netter.

Oettinger gave up more goals in Thursday's tilt than his previous three outings combined. Still, the 26-year-old backstop is the clear No. 1 option in Dallas and figures to continue seeing a heavy workload all year. In the short term, Oettinger figures to split the upcoming back-to-back against the Predators and Kraken on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, with Casey DeSmith.

Dostal gave up five goals on 26 shots in a 7-5 victory over the Stars on Thursday.

While it was Dostal's worst performance of the season, he registered a 5.08 GAA and .808 save percentage, but he still managed to pick up the victory, extending his win streak to five games. An upcoming back-to-back versus the Golden Knights and Jets on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should give the 25-year-old netminder a day off after he featured in 11 of the Ducks' first 13 games of the season.

Markstrom made 16 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

After seeing more than 40 shots in each of his prior two starts, the lack of rubber was a welcome sight for Markstrom, but it also may have left the veteran netminder a little cold on a Jake Evans tally 59 seconds into the third period that he probably should have stopped. Markstrom has alternated starts with Jake Allen since returning from a lower-body injury in late October, going 2-1-0 in three outings while surrendering 12 goals on 105 shots (.886 save percentage).
