Swayman stopped 33 of 35 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins.

Swayman played well, but the Bruins' lack of offense let him down once again. This was the seventh time in the last eight games Boston has scored two or fewer goals, the exception being a six-goal outburst Wednesday versus the Islanders in a Joonas Korpisalo start. Swayman is 1-4-0 over that run of futility, though he's given up just four goals across his last three starts to settle in after a rough patch in which he allowed 12 goals over two games. The 26-year-old is down to a 6-9-2 record with a 3.09 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 17 outings. The Bruins' next game is Sunday in a fairly favorable matchup at home versus the Canadiens.

Jarry stopped 31 of 32 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.

Jarry looked sharp in this one, though the Bruins' low-scoring tendencies likely helped his cause a bit. This was Jarry's second win in a row and the first time in eight appearances he's given up fewer than three goals. The 29-year-old is at a 3-3-1 record with a 3.88 GAA and an .881 save percentage this season. Jarry has started four of the last five games, but it'll likely be Alex Nedeljkovic between the pipes for Saturday's home matchup with the Flames.

Fleury stopped 20 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

The visitors grabbed a 2-0 lead early in the second period on a pair of Ryan Donato tallies, but Fleury shut the door the rest of the way as the Wild offense got rolling. The 40-year-old goalie has been used sparingly this season as the backup to Filip Gustavsson, but the usage seems to be agreeing with Fleury as he has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 5-0-1 in six starts with a .904 save percentage.

Comrie will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Comrie has lost his last two starts, allowing six goals on 63 shots in that span. He'll get the nod in a tough matchup Friday, as the Golden Knights have averaged 3.74 goals per game.

Mrazek made 26 saves in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

Chicago held a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but Minnesota struck three times before the intermission, with Jared Spurgeon's game-winner coming on a long-range shot that Mrazek simply mishandled. The 32-year-old netminder has allowed three goals or less in an impressive 12 straight starts, but Mrazek has only managed a 5-6-1 record over that stretch despite a .921 save percentage.

Thompson turned aside 20 of 24 shots faced during Friday's 5-4 overtime win at home against the Islanders.

Thompson has a sterling 10-1-1 record in 12 starts splitting the workload with Charlie Lindgren. The 27-year-old has been the more steady of the Capitals netminder duo and it would not be shocking if Thompson carves out a larger share of the starts moving forward, but fantasy managers will have to be patient while Washington sorts out the goaltending workload. Charlie Lindgren is expected to get the call Saturday against the Devils.

Martin conceded five goals on 29 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. The sixth marker was an empty-netter.

Martin was attempting to win his third straight game Friday, but Florida struck for three third-period goals to defeat Carolina on home ice. The Ontario native is Carolina's de facto No. 1 netminder at the moment, as Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are working their way back to full health. Martin is 3-3-1 with an .850 save percentage and a 3.62 GAA through eight appearances.

Varlamov turned aside 21 of 26 shots faced during Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

A two-goal lead after two periods evaporated in the final frame and Varlamov was the victim of a Jacob Chychrun wrist shot to seal the comeback for the Capitals in overtime. The 36-year-old is expected to backup Ilya Sorokin on Saturday when the Islanders return home to face Buffalo.

Bobrovsky made 28 saves on 31 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over Carolina.

Bobrovsky has picked up wins in two straight games after losing his prior two outings. The Russian netminder has allowed at least three goals in six of nine appearances in November, but he's won six of those matchups. The 36-year-old is sporting a 11-5-1 record, .890 save percentage and 3.04 GAA through 17 starts, and he's been bolstered by a Florida club that ranks sixth in the NHL with 3.54 goals per game through 24 contests.

Kochetkov (concussion) is considered doubtful to play Saturday versus the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said he'd like Kochetkov to get a practice in before returning. Brind'Amour did not declare a starter for Saturday -- his options are Spencer Martin, who took a 6-3 loss Friday versus the Panthers, or Yaniv Perets if Kochetkov doesn't play.
