Montembeault will guard the road net Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

It'll be the fourth straight start for Montembeault, though he's gone 0-2-1 with an .893 save percentage in his last three contests. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder is 3-6-1 with an .892 save percentage on the season.

Merzlikins will defend the visiting crease in LA on Saturday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Merzlikins is off to a nice start this season, as he is 2-3-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .910 save percentage. That is miles better than his previous two campaigns in which he combined for a 3.77 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 71 appearances. The Kings have averaged 3.27 goals this season.

Vladar will guard the road cage Saturday against the Sabres, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Vladar will return to the crease Saturday after Dustin Wolf started Calgary's last two contests. The 27-year-old Vladar is 3-3-1 with a .907 save percentage so far this year.

Jarry was recalled from his conditioning stint at AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

Jarry spent the full two weeks with the Baby Pens, going 4-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and a .926 save percentage. He could have his confidence back, as he allowed 12 goals on 73 shots in three NHL appearances before his demotion. For now, Jarry will be the third goaltender, Alex Nedeljkovic is No. 1 and Joel Blomqvist is holding onto the backup role.

Quick will patrol the visiting crease in Detroit on Saturday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Quick stopped nine of 10 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Buffalo after entering the game in relief of Igor Shesterkin. The 38-year-old Quick will make his fourth appearance of 2024-25. He has won both of his previous starts this campaign while stopping 61 of 64 shots. Detroit is coming off a 3-1 loss in Toronto on Friday, so Quick and the Rangers could take advantage of a tired Red Wings roster.

Markstrom will be between the visiting pipes against the Islanders on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom has won three of his last four starts, giving up seven goals on 101 shots. The 34-year-old goaltender is 6-4-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .904 save percentage this campaign. The Islanders rank 28th in the league with 2.43 goals per game this season.

Woll will guard the home net Saturday versus Montreal, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Ullmark will patrol the blue paint in Boston on Saturday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Ullmark will return to Boston for the first time as a member of the Senators after playing the previous three seasons with the Bruins.

Bobrovsky will defend the home crease versus Philadelphia on Saturday, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Bobrovsky has won his last four starts. He is 7-2-1 with a 2.97 GAA and an .891 save percentage. Spencer Knight could get a few more starts soon because the Panthers do not want to overwork the 36-year-old Bobrovsky in the regular season. Philadelphia has posted only 2.50 goals per game this campaign.
