Ullmark stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

Ullmark also had an assist on Brady Tkachuk's game-winning tally. This was Ullmark's seventh straight win, and it was just the second time in that span he's allowed multiple goals. The Swede improved to 12-7-2 with a 2.37 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 22 appearances. His hot streak has come with a heavy workload due to the absence of Anton Forsberg (undisclosed), who has been unavailable for the last three games. Ullmark will likely start one of the Senators' contests this weekend, either Saturday in Vancouver or Sunday in Edmonton, but it wouldn't be surprising for Leevi Merilainen to get a game in that back-to-back set.

Jarry made 22 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over Nashville on Thursday.

Jarry has stressed his managers for years because of his inconsistency. But he's 6-1-1 in his last eight starts, and the Pens are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Jarry hasn't totally turned a corner -- he allowed four or more goals in four of his last eight starts. But the Pens continue to trot him out there about half the time, so choose your match-up games carefully.

Binnington allowed three goals on 11 shots Thursday before being replaced by Joel Hofer in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

Binner has been in the spin cycle over the last couple weeks, going 0-4-1 in his last five starts. Overall, he's 8-13-3 with a 3.00 GAA and .896 save percentage, and the Blues are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games. Binnington could use some time on your bench until he and his team right their proverbial ship.

Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in a 3-1 win over the Blues on Tuesday.

Pavel Buchnevich was the only member of the Blues that lit the lamp. He converted a back door pass from Robert Thomas on an extended shift in the zone. Vasilevskiy has now won three straight games and is 15-9-1 on the season. But the pressure on him remains -- the team doesn't have a reliable back-up and at some point, that will come back to haunt them. Monitor Vasilevskiy's workload carefully. If things don't change, you may need a contingency to address exhaustion.

Daccord will protect the road goal in Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks, per the NHL media site.

Daccord has allowed four goals on 60 shots over his last two games, but he has gone 0-1-1 in that span since the Kraken have given him just one goal of support. He'll have a favorable matchup Thursday in his second straight start. Daccord has been the better of the Kraken's goalies, but he could use a good performance to build some momentum.

Lankinen is expected to start in Thursday's road tilt against Vegas.

Lankinen earned a 27-save shutout over Florida in his previous start last Thursday. He was briefly unavailable after that game due to an illness, but Lankinen was healthy enough to dress as the backup netminder Wednesday. The 29-year-old goaltender has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Vegas ranks sixth in goals per game with 3.45.

Saros will guard the home goal versus the Penguins on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros is coming off his third shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over the Rangers on Tuesday, which ended his eight-game losing streak. The 29-year-old will have a tougher challenge Thursday, as the Penguins have scored 23 goals over their last six games, winning half of them.

Vasilevskiy will tend the twine at home versus the Blues on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Vasilevskiy has allowed 11 goals over his last five games, winning four of them. He'll look to keep things rolling Thursday against a Blues team that has scored just 14 goals over the last six contests, winning just two of them.

Kolosov is set to guard the home goal against Los Angeles on Thursday.

Kolosov has a 4-5-1 record, 3.05 GAA and .889 save percentage over 10 appearances in 2024-25. This will be his first start since last Thursday, when he turned aside 25 of 26 shots en route to a 4-1 win over Detroit. The Kings are tied for 15th in the NHL with 3.03 goals per game.

Husso was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Cam Talbot hasn't returned from his lower-body injury, but Husso's demotion suggests Talbot might be an option for the Red Wings' upcoming back-to-back set against Montreal on Friday and Saturday. Husso has a 1-4-2 record, 3.46 GAA and .877 save percentage in eight appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. He's been far better with Grand Rapids, posting a 1.58 GAA and a .944 save percentage in five outings.
