NHL Player News

Greaves will defend the home cage versus Washington on Saturday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Greaves was sharp Thursday in a 3-2 win over Buffalo, stopping 39 shots. The 24-year-old netminder is 3-2-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .914 save percentage in seven NHL starts this season. The Capitals are generating a league-leading 3.59 goals per game in 2024-25.

Fleury stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Filip Gustavsson in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

Fleury likely would have started Saturday in Vancouver if the Wild had won. However, that won't be the case after Friday's loss allowed the Flames to hang around in the playoff race. Gustavsson will start back-to-back contests after getting a little rest late Friday. Fleury may not play again in the regular season, as two wins in the final two games will be enough to send the Wild to the playoffs. Fleury is 13-9-1 with a 2.94 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 25 appearances this season.

Wolf stopped 16 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

Wolf lost a shutout bid late in the third period, but he was able to maintain the lead this time, avoiding a repeat of Wednesday's collapse versus the Ducks. Wolf is 3-1-2 over six games in April, and he's limited opponents to two goals or fewer in four of those contests. The Flames appear to have handed the reins to Wolf in their final push for a playoff spot. The 23-year-old is now 27-16-8 with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 51 starts. The Flames have no back-to-back sets left, and their next matchup is a favorable one at home Sunday versus the Sharks. It'll likely take Wolf getting to the 30-win mark for the Flames to earn a playoff berth.

Romanov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Romanov's quest for his first win continues, though he did a decent job of keeping this game close. He's allowed just 10 goals over his last four outings (three starts). Romanov is still 0-5-0 on the year with a 3.86 GAA and an .879 save percentage over seven appearances. He'll likely split the next two games with Alexandar Georgiev -- the Sharks wrap up their last road trip of the season with a back-to-back with stops in Calgary on Sunday and Vancouver on Monday.

Pickard stopped 22 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Pickard won for the fifth time in six starts, a span that includes two victories over the Sharks. He's allowed just 13 goals in that span, leading to a bit of a goaltending controversy in Edmonton now that Stuart Skinner (head) is available again. Pickard is 22-9-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. Both goalies should get a start with a tough back-to-back ahead -- the Oilers visit the Jets on Sunday and host the Kings on Monday, with the latter game being a preview of a likely first-round matchup. Consider the last week of the season an audition for the starting role for both netminders, though Pickard has momentum on his side.

Allen stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

The Devils took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period, but that was all the support Allen received. The Penguins were able to get two power-play goals against him, and he lost for the third time in his last four outings. The 34-year-old goalie slipped to 12-16-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. Jacob Markstrom should be expected to get the nod Sunday versus the Islanders.

Gustavsson will start Saturday's road game in Vancouver, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson was tagged with four goals on 29 shots before he was pulled in the third period of Friday's 4-2 loss to the Flames. That moved him to 30-19-6 with a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 56 starts this season. He's won just two of his last seven outings (2-3-2) and will now be starting on back-to-back days, though the Canucks' forward group has been diminished by injuries. Despite that, they've scored 18 times over the last four games, winning three of them, so they'll still be a formidable opponent.

Jarry stopped 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

Jarry earned his fourth win in five starts. It didn't start well, as he gave up a goal to Erik Haula just 15 seconds into the game and then another tally to Ondrej Palat at 6:17 of the first period. The Penguins' offense picked up after that, and Jarry was sharp between the pipes to close out the win. The 29-year-old is up to 16-11-6 with a 3.12 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 35 outings. The Penguins' last two games of the season are at home -- they face the Bruins on Sunday and the Capitals on Thursday.

Dobes will protect the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Dobes will get the second half of the Canadiens' back-to-back after Sam Montembeault was in goal for Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators. Dobes won his last start over the Predators, but he had lost his previous three decisions. He is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games.

Lyon will start on the road versus the Lightning on Friday, per the NHL media site.

Lyon allowed three goals on 10 shots in his last outing, getting pulled early in the second period March 27 versus the Senators. The 32-year-old will have his hands full with a tough opponent that is nearly at full health, especially since the Red Wings are on the second half of a back-to-back.
