Oettinger will patrol the road crease in St. Louis on Saturday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Oettinger is off to a good start, posting a 3-0-0 mark with a 3.24 GAA and a .905 save percentage. The 26-year-old netminder has won at least 30 games in four straight seasons and is well on his way to his fifth. St. Louis has scored 12 goals in four games.

Lyon will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Saturday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Lyon will make his fifth straight start due to the absence of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body). Lyon finally picked up his first win of the season, stopping 33 shots in an 8-4 victory over Ottawa on Wednesday. He has a 1-3-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Florida has posted 2.50 goals per game this season.

Ullmark will patrol the home crease against the Islanders on Saturday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Ullmark is coming off a 30-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Seattle. However, he has surrendered 10 goals on 52 shots in his last two outings. Ullmark has a 2-2-0 record this season while stopping 94 of 109 shots. The Islanders have scored only 11 goals through four appearances this campaign.

Daccord will defend the road net against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Geoff Baker of the Kraken's official site reports.

Daccord will return to the crease after being a healthy scratch in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Ottawa. He played in Seattle's first three games, stopping 78 of 85 shots en route to a 2-0-1 record. Toronto has won two straight contests, and the team has outscored the opposition by a 9-5 margin over that span.

Montembeault will be between the pipes for Saturday's home matchup against the Rangers, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Montembeault stopped 18 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Seattle. He has a 2-1-0 record this season while making 60 saves on 69 shots. Despite plenty of chances, it's been a struggle for the Rangers to score early in the 2025-26 campaign. The team has lit the lamp only 11 times through six outings.

Vladar was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating he will guard the home goal against Minnesota on Saturday.

Vladar made 24 stops in Monday's 5-2 win over Florida. He has a 1-1-0 record this season while turning aside 56 of 60 shots. Minnesota has accounted for 15 goals through five games to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

Bobrovsky will defend the road net against the Sabres on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Bobrovsky's three-game winning streak to open the season came to an end in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Detroit. He allowed two goals on 23 shots, with the final two tallies being empty-netters. After scoring twice in three games to begin the year, Buffalo is coming off an 8-4 victory over Ottawa on Wednesday.

Greaves will patrol the home crease against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Despite stopping 55 of 59 shots in two previous starts, Greaves has gone 0-2-0 to begin the 2025-26 campaign. Tampa Bay is coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to Detroit on Friday, and the team has scored only 14 goals through five contests this season.

Ravensbergen recorded a 36-save shutout in WHL Prince George's 5-0 win over Seattle on Friday.

Ravensbergen improved to 3-2-0 on the season with his first shutout of the campaign. He was one of the top goalie prospects heading into the 2025 NHL Entry Draft despite posting a lackluster 3.00 GAA and .901 save percentage with no shutouts in 51 outings in 2024-25. He was selected 30th overall by the Sharks, who will take their time with Ravensbergen's development since they already have Yaroslav Askarov to lead them from rebuild to contention.

Askarov stopped 28 of 34 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Askarov's 2025-26 is off to an unimpressive start with 13 goals allowed on 78 shots over two games. That shot volume against is a big problem, but one that's not likely to get better in the near term with the Sharks battling multiple injuries on the blue line. The 23-year-old has alternated starts with Alex Nedeljkovic, a pattern that's likely to continue until one goalie gets in a groove. Look for Nedeljkovic to get the nod versus his former team, the Penguins, at home Saturday.
