Hogberg will tend the twine at home against the Sharks on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Hogberg has conceded just one goal in each of his last two appearances while stopping 46 shots (.958 save percentage). Given his solid numbers of late, another high-end performance out of the 30-year-old backstop Saturday could see him challenge Ilya Sorokin for more opportunities between the crease.

Gustavsson will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's road game against Colorado, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Although Marc-Andre Fleury will get the start Saturday against Nashville as the Wild begin a two-game road trip, Gustavsson will be in the net a few days later. Gustavsson is in the midst of a three-game slump in which he's gone 0-3-0 with a 5.07 GAA and .850 save percentage. He struggled against the Avalanche last week, allowing six goals on 27 shots (.778 save percentage) en route to the home loss.

Fleury will patrol the road crease in Nashville on Saturday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Fleury was outstanding in his last start, turning aside 36 shots in a 3-1 win over San Jose on Jan 11. The win gave Fleury a 9-3-1 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Fleury will face the Predators, who are scoring 2.45 goals per game, 31st in the NHL this season.

Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

Saros bounced back after losing his previous two starts, and even though he needed a shootout to get the victory, he still found a way to get back to winning ways. The Predators' struggles on defense have hurt Saros, though. Over his last six games, he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.02 GAA and an .879 save percentage.

Soderblom stopped 39 of 41 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

Soderblom looked impressive between the pipes Thursday, and the 39 saves were a season-high mark for him, but that wasn't enough to get back to his winning ways. The 25-year-old netminder has failed to record a win over his last three starts, going 0-2-1 with a 3.95 GAA and an .890 save percentage in that span.

Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod on the road against the Sabres on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

It's the Nedeljkovic era for the Penguins now after Tristan Jarry was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday. On the year, the 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has posted a 7-7-4 record, which goes with career-worst ratios in both GAA (3.40) and save percentage (.886). As such, the Ohio native's hold on the No. 1 job should be considered tenuous as best, as the Pens may want to turn things over to Joel Blomqvist sooner rather than later.

Hofer turned aside 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

His second shutout of the season slipped away in the second period, when Yegor Sharangovich used a screen to find the back of the net, but otherwise Hofer was locked in. The 24-year-old goalie has just one regulation loss since the beginning of December, going 6-1-1 in nine outings with a 2.36 GAA and .913 save percentage, but he remains behind Jordan Binnington on the Blues' depth chart in the crease.

Wolf made 25 saves in Thursday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis.

The Blues struck three times in the first period to put the game away, and Wolf probably wants another crack at the second one, a Colton Parayko blast from the blue line that went through the young goalie's five-hole. The loss snapped a three-start win streak for Wolf, but he's mostly been sharp over the last month, going 7-2-1 in his last 10 outings with a 2.19 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Luukkonen was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and will defend the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Friday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Luukkonen was sharp in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Carolina as he turned aside 35 shots. Luukkonen is 14-13-4 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.99 GAA and an .898 save percentage. The Penguins are averaging 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25, which is tied for 17th in the NHL.

Sorokin stopped 19 of 23 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The Flyers struck three times in the second period to take the lead for good, with the Islanders' defense seemingly unable to clear their own zone or stop the visitors from some tic-tac-toe passing displays. It's the sixth time in his last 11 outings that Sorokin has surrendered at least four goals, a bumpy stretch in which he's gone 5-6-0 with a 3.41 GAA and .876 save percentage.
