Saros will be between the pipes for Team Finland's game against Slovakia on Wednesday in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics, Shawn Roarke of NHL.com reports.

As expected, Saros will get the starting nod over Joonas Korpisalo and Kevin Lankinen. The 30-year-old Saros has been struggling of late with the Predators, allowing at least three goals in nine straight games while going 4-2-2 in that span. The Finns are heavy favorites heading into Wednesday's matchup against the Slovaks -- the disparity in the talent up front between the two teams is substantial.

Black recorded a 27-save shutout in AHL Charlotte's 3-0 win over Grand Rapids on Friday.

Black has played in 27 games this season, going 18-7-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .904 save percentage. He picked up his first shutout of the campaign and the fourth of his AHL career with this effort. Black was good in a limited role in 2024-25, and while his numbers have dipped a bit, he's still playing pretty well. The 24-year-old would likely be the next man up for the Panthers, which could be a situation that comes to pass if Daniil Tarasov (lower body) is still injured after the Olympic break.

Quick stopped 41 of 42 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Hurricanes, with Carolina's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 40-year-old netminder got beaten clean by Andrei Svechnikov early in the first period, but Quick shut the door the rest of the way and made a season-high 41 saves to keep his team in the game. With the Olympic break on tap and Igor Shesterkin (lower body) expected back once the NHL resumes play, Quick's stint as New York's No. 1 in net may have come to an end, and likely not a moment too soon. Over 10 outings since the beginning of January, he went 1-8-1 with a 4.22 GAA and .852 save percentage.

Bussi turned aside 16 shots in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

The rookie netminder wasn't busy as he cruised to his second shutout of the season, and he didn't face much of a challenge from a toothless New York offense that had just seen Artemi Panarin depart for Los Angeles. Bussi will carry a seven-start win streak into the Olympic break, a stretch in which he's delivered a dazzling 1.72 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Allen stopped 11 of 13 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 35-year-old was locked in a 1-1 goaltending duel with Ilya Sorokin through two periods and even picked up an assist on Nico Hischier's tally, but Bo Horvat slipped a puck past Allen late in the final frame to put the visitors on top. Allen is probably looking forward to the Olympic break, having lost three straight starts and six of seven since the beginning of January while posting a 3.08 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Kolosov was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Kolosov has been up and down with the Flyers during Samuel Ersson's absence due to a lower-body injury, suffered Jan. 29. Kolosov is 0-2-0 with the Flyers this season, allowing eight goals on 47 shots.

Sorokin made 23 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.

A Nico Hischier tally late in the second period spoiled Sorokin's shutout bid, but the veteran netminder still heads into the Olympic break having put himself on the fringes of the Vezina conversation. Sorokin sits in the top 10 in wins (20, tied for 10th), GAA (2.44, eighth), and save percentage (.916, tied for third), and he leads the NHL with six shutouts.

Shepard was loaned to AHL Belleville on Friday.

Shepard was recalled Thursday, as Linus Ullmark was unable to dress due to an illness. Shepard backed up James Reimer in a 2-1 overtime win in Philadelphia. Shepard has played one game at the NHL level this season, allowing two goals on 12 shots in a 5-3 loss to Detroit on Jan. 5.

Bobrovsky stopped two of three shots he faced in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning.

Daniil Tarasov (lower body) exited the game in the third period, and Bobrovsky took over in net. The game was already out of hand by the time Bobrovsky entered, but he didn't have a good performance. He remains at 21-17-1 with a 3.13 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 40 appearances this season. If Tarasov's injury proves significant, Bobrovsky may be pressed into a larger role after the Olympic break.

Forsberg stopped 18 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

All four goals were surrendered within the first 14 minutes of the game. Forsberg was forced to wear this one, as Darcy Kuemper was in goal for Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. Forsberg is down to 9-7-5 after his first regulation loss in 2026. He's added a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 appearances this season. Forsberg should start one of the first two games after the Olympic break, either Feb. 25 versus Vegas or Feb. 26 versus the Oilers.
