Kolosov was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Philadelphia netminder Samuel Ersson suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and may not be able to back up Dan Vladar on Saturday against the Kings. Kolosov is 0-2-0 with a 4.00 GAA and an .830 save percentage over four NHL appearances this season. The Flyers reassigned Lane Pederson to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Vladar will be between the home pipes versus Los Angeles on Saturday.

Vladar has been stellar in the Philadelphia cage, posting a 16-8-4 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 30 appearances in 2025-26. The Kings are generating 2.58 goals per game, 29th in the NHL this season.

Knight stopped 22 of 25 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Knight ended up with his third straight loss, as he couldn't contain the third-line duo of Charlie Coyle (hat trick, assist) and Mathieu Olivier (one goal, one assist). During the skid, Knight has given up 10 goals on 72 shots. He's now at a 15-15-7 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 37 starts this season. Knight has had some good stretches, but he's still prone to some struggles while acting as the last layer of defense for a young team. He'll likely get the nod for Monday's home game versus the Sharks, as he has typically been starting two of every three games recently.

Merzlikins stopped 22 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Merzlikins earned his 10th win of the season and his fourth victory in his last five outings with this performance. The Blackhawks' top line accounted for both goals against, but Charlie Coyle's hat trick was plenty of help for Merzlikins and the Blue Jackets. On the season, Merzlikins is 10-8-1 with a 3.67 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 20 appearances. The Blue Jackets will likely turn to Jet Greaves for Saturday's game in St. Louis, but Merzlikins has done well to work himself back into a timeshare in the crease.

Hofer stopped 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Panthers.

Hofer bounced back from two straight losses to record his fourth win of the month. The 25-year-old has had several ups and downs this season, and despite winning four of his seven outings in January (4-2-1), his .894 save percentage during that time isn't particularly eye-popping. Hofer and Jordan Binnington have alternated starts over the past several games, and that trend should continue for the time being.

Tarasov stopped 26 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Tarasov had won each of his previous four starts, but he took a step back in this one -- he was coming off a stretch in which he had allowed three or fewer goals in his previous five outings. Tarasov has been the backup for the Panthers behind Sergei Bobrovsky, and the nature of that role limits his upside to matchup-based situations.

Gibson will patrol the home crease versus Colorado on Saturday, Michael Whitaker of The Hockey News reports.

Gibson will make his fourth straight start and 12th in his last 14 games. Gibson is 21-10-2 with three shutouts, a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 34 appearances in 2025-26. The Avalanche lead the NHL in scoring, averaging 3.88 goals per game.

Hellebuyck went through his starting routine Friday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports, signaling that he's slated to start Saturday's road game against the Panthers.

Hellebuyck has struggled to enter the win column recently, going 1-3-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .909 save percentage over his last six starts. That stretch includes a Jan. 22 start at home against the Panthers in which he turned aside 19 of 20 shots (.950 save percentage) in a shootout loss.

Quick turned aside 19 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

Both goals against the 40-year-old netminder came in a 95-second span late in the second period, as Carson Soucy snuck the puck past Quick inside the near post from a bad angle before Matthew Schaefer ripped a shot through traffic for the game-winner. Quick has struggled to hold down the fort in the crease while Igor Shesterkin (lower body) has been on the shelf, going 1-6-1 through eight outings in January with a rough 4.56 GAA and .823 save percentage.

Merzlikins will defend the road cage in Chicago on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Merzlikins will make his second straight start, as he stopped 24 shots in a 5-3 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. The netminder is 9-8-1 with poor peripherals, including a 3.76 GAA and an .882 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are 26th in NHL scoring, tallying 143 goals in 54 games.
