Sorokin will protect the home net against Edmonton on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Sorokin is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. He has a 6-3-1 record, a 2.34 GAA and a .915 save percentage through nine appearances in the 2026-27 campaign. Edmonton (9-2-2) leads the league with 4.23 goals per game this season.

Soderblom will defend the road net in Saturday's clash against the Bruins, per Jack Studley of Boston Hockey Now.

Soderblom will make his first appearance since Oct. 8 in Saturday's Halloween matchup. The 27-year-old backstop has struggled across his two appearances this season, as he's compiled an 0-2-0 record, a 4.58 GAA and an .820 save percentage. With Spencer Knight playing in each of Chicago's last eight games, Soderblom could begin to see more opportunities between the pipes if he can put together a solid showing Saturday. That will be a tough task, however, as the Bruins rank eighth in the NHL with 3.57 goals per game this season. Soderblom remains off the main fantasy radar for the time being.

Wallstedt will guard the road goal against Washington on Sunday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders. He owns an 8-2-3 record, a 2.14 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 13 appearances this season. Washington (8-4-0) ranks seventh in the league this campaign with 3.58 goals per game.

Murashov will patrol the road crease in Saturday's clash against the Canadiens, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Murashov is set to play his first game since Oct. 17. He's had a slow start to the new season, which has allowed Arturs Silovs to secure the Penguins' No. 1 spot between the pipes. Overall, the 22-year-old Murashov has posted a 0-3-1 record, a 3.50 GAA and an .883 save percentage across four appearances this season. Getting his first win will be a difficult task Saturday, as he'll face off against a Canadiens' squad coming off a 5-2 win over Dallas on Thursday. Murashov is best left on waivers in fantasy until he can reclaim his form from the 2025-26 campaign.

Hofer will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Saturday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Hofer is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 4-1 win over Boston. He has a 5-3-1 record, a 2.24 GAA and a .923 save percentage in nine appearances this season. Detroit (6-4-3) sits 26th in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.69 goals per game.

DiPietro will defend the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Blackhawks, per Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe.

DiPietro is set to make his first appearance since his first career shutout, which he earned by making 28 saves against the Predators on Oct. 22. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 2-1-0 record, a 1.69 GAA and a .941 save percentage across three appearances this season. He's slated to be an excellent streaming option in all fantasy formats Saturday, as the Blackhawks currently rank 31st in the NHL with 2.08 goals per game.

Oettinger will defend the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Blue Jackets, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Oettinger will don the mask for a Halloween Night clash against Columbus, as he looks to bounce back after he lost his first game since Oct. 13 on Thursday. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 6-3-1 record, a 1.69 GAA, a league-leading three shutouts and a .917 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. He remains one of the top starts across all fantasy formats for Saturday, as the Blue Jackets rank 29th in the NHL with 2.45 goals per game this season.

Montembeault (lower body) is considered day-to-day, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports on Saturday.

Montembeault will miss his 11th straight game against Pittsburgh on Saturday, but he participated in the morning skate and appears to be working his way toward a return. He hasn't logged any playing time in the 2026-27 season, and it will be difficult for him to get starts once he's healthy behind Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes.

Fowler will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler has stopped 165 of 173 shots during his six-game winning streak. He owns a 6-1-0 record, a 1.54 GAA and a .942 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Pittsburgh (5-6-2) ranks 13th in the league with 3.23 goals per game during the 2026-27 campaign.

Sogaard notched a 21-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 7-0 win over Hamilton on Friday.

Sogaard improved to 3-2-1 on the season with his second shutout of the AHL campaign. He's added a 2.06 GAA and a .920 save percentage. Sogaard is looking solid as the organization No. 3 for the Lightning, though he won't be in the NHL unless Andrei Vasilevskiy or Dennis Hildeby become unavailable.
