Kolosov made 25 saves in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.

Kolosov wasn't busy in the first two periods -- he saw just 14 shots. Ben Chiarot finally beat him late in the third to pull the Red Wings to within one goal, but Kolosov's teammates drained two empty-net goals to seal the win. It was a nice rebound for Kolosov, who had allowed four goals in each of his last two games, both losses. He's an inconsistent option when he's in the blue paint, as he's still adjusting to North American ice. However, the potential is there.

Talbot made 32 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers. He allowed two goals.

It was Talbot's first appearance since missing four games due to a lower-body injury. He was pelted with pucks -- he had already faced 29 shots by the end of two periods -- and he bailed his team out time after time, as he allowed just one goal over the first two frames. The first shot of the third got past Talbot while his team was on a power play, and it pushed the game to 2-0. From that point on, he didn't see many pucks as his teammates upped their attempts, but unfortunately, they couldn't make a comeback in the third. Talbot gives the Red Wings a chance every time he's in the blue paint, but the team structure keeps him from getting wins. Fantasy managers should use him as they did before he got hurt.

Jarry stopped 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 9-2 win over Montreal.

Jarry allowed a goal on the first shot he saw, which may have triggered memories of his previous start when he gave up six goals on home ice in a loss to the Avalanche, but he recovered and eventually coasted to a fifth win in his last six starts. The Penguins have averaged 4.7 goals per game in those starts, which has helped the goalie overcome a slow opening to the season. Jarry lowered his GAA to 3.65 and improved his save percentage to .884 with the effort. The Penguins next play Saturday in Ottawa.

Grubauer is slated to start at home against Boston on Thursday, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Grubauer has a 2-8-0 record, 3.71 GAA and .870 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 32 of 37 shots en route to a 7-5 win over the Rangers on Sunday. The Bruins are tied for 28th in goals per game with 2.53.

Stolarz (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

Stolarz was able to play one period, but he was removed at the start of the middle frame. He allowed one goal on eight shots prior to his departure. An update on his status should be available before Saturday's game in Detroit. The Maple Leafs have a back-to-back this weekend, so they may need to call up a goalie.

Annunen will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Annunen lost his Predators debut last Thursday, allowing two goals on 29 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Canadiens. The 24-year-old will look to get the Predators back on track, as they have lost eight straight games (0-5-3). The Stars are a tough matchup, having won four of their last six contests with 20 goals scored over that span.

Rittich is set to guard the road goal against New Jersey on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Rittich has won his past two starts while stopping 46 of 50 shots (.920 save percentage). He's 10-6-0 with a 2.45 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 17 outings in 2024-25. New Jersey ranks 10th in goals per game with 3.32.

Soderblom will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game against the Islanders, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Soderblom is coming off one of his best starts of the season, as he turned aside 29 of 30 shots (.967 save percentage) en route to the road win over the Rangers on Tuesday. He'll attempt to stay hot against the Islanders, who are averaging just 2.53 goals per game to begin the season.

Hill is expected to start in Thursday's road tilt against Winnipeg, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Hill has a 12-4-2 record, 2.63 GAA and .905 save percentage in 18 appearances this campaign. He's on a fantastic stretch in which he's posted a 1.73 GAA and a .938 save percentage over his past eight outings. However, the Jets are one of the toughest teams in the league, as they rank fourth in goals per game with 3.70 and have a 10-3-0 home record.

Bobrovsky will be between the road pipes during Thursday's game against the Canucks.

Bobrovsky has been on a hot streak recently and will draw a third consecutive start for the Panthers. He's picked up wins in each of his last four outings, posting a 1.47 GAA and .941 save percentage during that time.
