Georgiev will patrol the home crease against Toronto on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Georgiev is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 win over Boston, and he stopped 25 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on March 3. He has a 6-16-1 record with a 3.71 GAA and an .878 save percentage in 24 appearances with the Sharks this season. The Maple Leafs rank eighth in the league with 3.24 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackwood will protect the home net against the Kings on Thursday, according to Colleen Flynn of Colorado Hockey Now.

Blackwood has won his last two outings, stopping 46 of 52 shots. He has a 20-8-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.22 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 31 appearances with Colorado this season. The Kings sit 18th in the league with 2.93 goals per game in 2024-25.

Daccord was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Edmonton.

Daccord was shelled to the tune of four goals on 28 shots (.857 save percentage) when he faced the Oilers on Saturday. In fact, the 28-year-old netminder has given up four goals in five of his last eight appearances while going 2-4-2 with a 3.53 GAA. Even without Connor McDavid (lower body) or Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), Edmonton will be a tough matchup for Daccord.

Vejmelka will be between the pipes on the road against the Lightning on Thursday, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Vejmelka will make his 15th consecutive appearance in the crease for Utah, a stretch that includes both ends of a back-to-back in early March. As such, it's not impossible that Vejmelka gets the nod again versus Tampa Bay on Friday, but it could be an opportunity for Jaxson Stauber to get into a game.
