Knight turned aside 25 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Chicago was staring at a 3-0 deficit before finally getting on the board late in the second period, and Knight and his Swiss cheese defense shared responsibility for the poor start to the game. The 25-year-old netminder has lost three straight starts and six of his last seven, going 1-6-0 over that rough stretch despite a semi-respectable 3.19 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Ellis stopped 28 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.

The 26-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Shane Pinto banged home a rebound midway through the final frame to tie it up before Michael Amadio scored the winner with just over three minutes left. Ellis has started three of the last four games for the Sabres, going 2-1-0 while allowing eight goals on 88 shots (.909 save percentage) as he takes advantage of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's struggles this season.

Ersson made 23 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.

A Tage Thompson shot through traffic late in the second period deflected off Peyton Krebs' stick for the game's first goal, but it was the only puck to get past Ersson, and Ottawa's offense finally got rolling in the third. The former Flyer has been thrust into the starting role with Linus Ullmark (lower body) on the shelf and has looked good, going 2-0-1 over his last three outings and allowing only four goals on 69 shots (.942 save percentage). Ullmark could be back by this weekend, but Ersson's recent performances should solidify his spot as the No. 2 in the crease for the Sens.

Askarov stopped 20 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Askarov had gone five games without a disastrous outing, but that stretch ended against a division rival. The Kings cashed in on three of five power-play chances, and they got big games from their first line to make it a miserable contest for Askarov. The 24-year-old netminder is now 4-7-0 with a 3.29 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 11 starts. He had started four of the last five games, but head coach Ryan Warsofsky tends to run with the hot hand a bit. Both Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic are likely to get a tough assignment in the Sharks' upcoming road back-to-back, which features stops in Minnesota on Friday and in Dallas on Saturday.

Kuemper stopped 30 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Kuemper faced a lot of traffic, but the Kings' offense made sure he was under little pressure. This was a fifth straight win for Kuemper, and it's the third time in that span he's allowed just two goals. For the season, he's 5-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .885 save percentage over nine games. The 36-year-old still carries some risk against strong offenses, but he's done well to make sure his slow start didn't linger. He has alternated starts with Anton Forsberg lately, and if that trend continues, Forsberg would face the Penguins on Saturday while Kuemper would draw the Predators on Tuesday.

Wolf stopped 27 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Wolf wasn't able to earn a third straight win, but he put in a good performance once again. He's allowed just five goals on 78 shots over his last three starts, getting his season back on track after a poor performance early in the campaign. Wolf is now 3-4-1 with a 3.71 GAA and an .870 save percentage across nine appearances. The Flames are set to host the Ducks on Friday, and with no back-to-backs in the near future, Wolf should see a steady run of playing time while Devin Cooley (lower body) is out.

Daccord stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Daccord has four wins this season, three of which have come against Calgary. He's allowed just five goals on 97 shots across four appearances versus the Flames compared to 20 goals against on 129 shots in his four other games. Daccord will have to find a way to build momentum against other teams since Seattle and Calgary are done with their season series. Overall, Daccord sports a 4-3-0 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .889 save percentage in eight games. The Kraken host the Rangers on Saturday.

Postava was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday under emergency conditions.

Postava spent time with the Red Wings in late October, and he went 1-0-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .886 save percentage during that stint with the NHL club. He'll rejoin Detroit to provide additional goaltending depth after John Gibson (lower body) exited Tuesday's game against the Lightning after the first period.

Wolf will start Wednesday's road game against Seattle, Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

Wolf is in the midst of a two-game winning streak, and he'll be between the pipes for a second consecutive game Wednesday. Across his last two appearances, he's posted a 1.50 GAA and .939 save percentage. He's made three starts against the Kraken this year -- two at home and one on the road -- and has gone 1-2-0 with a 4.67 GAA and .827 save percentage during those outings.

Knight is expected to start on the road against Florida on Wednesday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight has a 4-8-0 record, 3.28 GAA and .894 save percentage in 12 appearances with Chicago in 2026-27. He's lost his past two outings while stopping 51 of 58 shots (.879 save percentage). The Panthers have scored at least three goals in each of their past four games and have an 8-5-2 record this season.
