Askarov stopped 20 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Askarov had gone five games without a disastrous outing, but that stretch ended against a division rival. The Kings cashed in on three of five power-play chances, and they got big games from their first line to make it a miserable contest for Askarov. The 24-year-old netminder is now 4-7-0 with a 3.29 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 11 starts. He had started four of the last five games, but head coach Ryan Warsofsky tends to run with the hot hand a bit. Both Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic are likely to get a tough assignment in the Sharks' upcoming road back-to-back, which features stops in Minnesota on Friday and in Dallas on Saturday.

Kuemper stopped 30 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Kuemper faced a lot of traffic, but the Kings' offense made sure he was under little pressure. This was a fifth straight win for Kuemper, and it's the third time in that span he's allowed just two goals. For the season, he's 5-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .885 save percentage over nine games. The 36-year-old still carries some risk against strong offenses, but he's done well to make sure his slow start didn't linger. He has alternated starts with Anton Forsberg lately, and if that trend continues, Forsberg would face the Penguins on Saturday while Kuemper would draw the Predators on Tuesday.

Wolf stopped 27 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Wolf wasn't able to earn a third straight win, but he put in a good performance once again. He's allowed just five goals on 78 shots over his last three starts, getting his season back on track after a poor performance early in the campaign. Wolf is now 3-4-1 with a 3.71 GAA and an .870 save percentage across nine appearances. The Flames are set to host the Ducks on Friday, and with no back-to-backs in the near future, Wolf should see a steady run of playing time while Devin Cooley (lower body) is out.

Daccord stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Daccord has four wins this season, three of which have come against Calgary. He's allowed just five goals on 97 shots across four appearances versus the Flames compared to 20 goals against on 129 shots in his four other games. Daccord will have to find a way to build momentum against other teams since Seattle and Calgary are done with their season series. Overall, Daccord sports a 4-3-0 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .889 save percentage in eight games. The Kraken host the Rangers on Saturday.

Postava was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday under emergency conditions.

Postava spent time with the Red Wings in late October, and he went 1-0-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .886 save percentage during that stint with the NHL club. He'll rejoin Detroit to provide additional goaltending depth after John Gibson (lower body) exited Tuesday's game against the Lightning after the first period.

Wolf will start Wednesday's road game against Seattle, Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

Wolf is in the midst of a two-game winning streak, and he'll be between the pipes for a second consecutive game Wednesday. Across his last two appearances, he's posted a 1.50 GAA and .939 save percentage. He's made three starts against the Kraken this year -- two at home and one on the road -- and has gone 1-2-0 with a 4.67 GAA and .827 save percentage during those outings.

Knight is expected to start on the road against Florida on Wednesday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight has a 4-8-0 record, 3.28 GAA and .894 save percentage in 12 appearances with Chicago in 2026-27. He's lost his past two outings while stopping 51 of 58 shots (.879 save percentage). The Panthers have scored at least three goals in each of their past four games and have an 8-5-2 record this season.

Askarov was the first goalie off the ice at Wednesday's morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Los Angeles.

Askarov has alternated wins and losses across his last five appearances, going 2-3-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .944 save percentage during that time. He'll be between the pipes for a second consecutive game Wednesday and will have a favorable matchup against the Kings, who have logged 2.77 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league.

Kuemper will start Wednesday's home game against the Sharks, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kuemper has picked up wins in each of his last four starts, posting a 2.94 GAA and .902 save percentage during that time. He's alternated starts with Anton Forsberg over the past week and a half, and that trend will continue Wednesday. The Sharks have generated just 2.56 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

Daccord is slated to start at home against Calgary on Wednesday, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Daccord has a 3-3-0 record, 3.96 GAA and .880 save percentage in seven appearances this season. He actually limited the competition to just one goal in each of his opening two starts of 2026-27, but he's posted a 5.40 GAA and an .845 save percentage in his past five appearances. Meanwhile, the Flames are on a roll with a 7-3-0 record over their past 10 games.
