  • Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Considered day-to-day

    Pickard (undisclosed) is day-to-day and won't be in the lineup for Saturday's home matchup versus Vegas in Game 3, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

    Pickard will miss at least one outing after being hurt in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2. He has posted a 6-0 record with a 2.84 GAA and an .888 save percentage through seven appearances this postseason. With Pickard unavailable, Stuart Skinner will be between the pipes for Saturday's contest, while Olivier Rodrigue will be the backup.

  • Oilers' Stuart Skinner: In goal for Game 3

    Skinner will defend the home crease versus Vegas on Saturday in Game 3, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.

    Calvin Pickard (undisclosed) was shaken up in Game 2 on Thursday and was not on the ice for Saturday's morning skate. Skinner started the first two games in Los Angeles during the opening round and allowed 11 goals on 58 shots. Olivier Rodrigue will be Skinner's backup goalie in Saturday's contest. The Golden Knights need a victory to avoid going down 3-0 in the best-of-seven series. Vegas ranks 10th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this postseason.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Secures OT win Friday

    Bobrovsky stopped 27 of 31 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 3.

    The veteran netminder was shaky again but returned to the win column after two ugly road losses. While the Panthers escaped with the win, Bobrovsky has posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in four straight starts, going 2-2 with a 3.84 GAA and an .855 save percentage over that stretch. He's 5-3 with a 2.94 GAA and an .875 save percentage through eight appearances this postseason.

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Gives up five in OT loss

    Woll stopped 31 of 36 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss against the Panthers in Game 3.

    Due to the absence of Anthony Stolarz (upper body), Woll has played in Toronto's last three games, and he's given up at least three goals in each of his starts. The Maple Leafs hold a 2-1 in the series, but Woll's numbers haven't delivered much confidence. He's gone 2-1 with a 3.99 GAA and an .869 save percentage this postseason.

  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Still not skating

    Per Luke Fox of Sportsnet, Stolarz (upper body) is "progressing" but has yet to return to the ice, according to coach Craig Berube on Saturday.

    Stolarz was injured in Game 1 and missed Games 2 and 3. It appears that he is doubtful for Game 4 on Sunday in Florida, but he has not been ruled out of Game 5 in Toronto on Wednesday. Stolarz is 4-2 with a 2.19 GAA and a .901 save percentage across seven playoff appearances in 2025.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Shuts out Stars in Game 2

    Hellebuyck posted a 21-save shutout in Friday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 2.

    Hellebuyck's faced plenty of criticism in the postseason, but he proved why he's one of the NHL's best goalies in this contest. The 31-year-old didn't face a lot of traffic Friday, but he never gave the Stars a chance of a comeback. He's stopped 42 of 45 shots across two games in the second round and looks to be more confident, though he'll have to face his road woes in Sunday's Game 3 in Dallas.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Gets no help in loss

    Oettinger stopped 21 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Jets in Game 2. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Tyler Seguin took a double-minor for high-sticking on the first shift, and that set the Stars back immediately. The Jets cashed in on the power play and managed the lead for the rest of the game, leaving Oettinger with no help in this loss. The series is now tied at 1-1, and Oettinger has stopped 50 of 55 shots over two games against the Jets. He'll look to get back on track on home ice in Game 3 on Sunday.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Tending twine Friday

    Oettinger will protect the road goal in Game 2 versus the Jets on Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

    Oettinger shook off his Game 1 demons Wednesday, making 29 saves in a 3-2 win to give the Stars a rare 1-0 series lead. The 26-year-old will look to turn in a repeat effort in Game 2, and if he can do so, the Stars are set to head home with a formidable 2-0 series lead.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Starting Game 2

    Hellebuyck will protect the home goal versus the Stars in Game 2 on Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

    Hellebuyck took his first home loss of the postseason in Game 1, giving up three goals on 24 shots. He'll look to even the series in Game 2, though he'll have to contend with a Stars offense that has been coming up clutch in recent contests.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: In goal for Game 3

    Bobrovsky will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Friday in Game 3, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bobrovsky has allowed nine goals on 50 shots while losing the first two games of the second-round series. He'll look to right the ship on home ice, where he was 20-9-2 with a 2.36 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 31 regular-season games. He also went 1-1 with six goals allowed on 41 shots over two home games versus the Lightning in the first round.
