Joseph Woll G | TOR
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Recovers after three-goal first
Woll made 32 saves in a 5-1 loss to Florida on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
All three snipes came in the first period, and then he shut the door. Woll is 13-8-4 with two shutouts, 2.92 GAA and .910 save percentage in 26 starts this season. The Leafs are eight points from a wild-card position, so a sell-off could happen. Woll will stay put, but Anthony Stolarz could theoretically move. And that would change the net dynamics going forward.

Sergei Bobrovsky G | FLA
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Dialed in and dominant in paint
Bobrovsky made 28 saves in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Thursday.
Bobrovsky was especially strong in the second period when he made 11 saves to keep the score 3-0. His shutout bid ended 47 seconds into the third. Bobrovsky hasn't been having a great season (3.08 GAA and .874 save percentage), and the Panthers are eight points from a Wild Card spot. There is a chance they enter into a semi-rebuild and 37-year-old Bobrovsky could be on the move. His contract expires this offseason, but he's a big money goalie in the playoffs if they make it.

Filip Gustavsson G | MIN
Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Leaves game late
Gustavsson exited Thursday's game versus the Avalanche late in the third period after getting ill in his crease, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Prior to his exit, Gustavsson stopped 44 of 45 shots in what was ultimately a winning effort. It's all the more impressive that he was able to play that well at less than 100 percent health. The goalie will likely be on the bench Friday versus the Mammoth, as Jesper Wallstedt seems likely to get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back set.

Georgi Romanov G | STL
Blues' Georgi Romanov: Sent back down
Romanov was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Thursday.
Romanov backed up Joel Hofer in the Blues' 5-1 win over the Kraken on Thursday. Jordan Binnington should be available to start one game of the Blues' upcoming back-to-back, either Saturday at home versus the Devils or Sunday on the road in Minnesota.

Linus Ullmark G | OTT
Senators' Linus Ullmark: Sharp in OT loss
Ullmark made 18 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Thursday.
Ullmark is coming off a restful Olympic break -- he didn't even watch the games. He looked sharp, which bodes well for the stretch run. Despite a below-average save percentage (.884), Ullmark has carried the Sens this season. According to Sportsnet.ca, the team has played at a 101-point pace with Ullmark in the paint. Without him, they've played at a 70-point pace.

John Gibson G | DET
Red Wings' John Gibson: Great start to stretch run
Gibson made 26 saves in a 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa on Thursday.
The only goal that beat Gibson came on a power play in the first period. He earned the game's first star for his work. It's a great start to the stretch run for the Wings after they had lost four of five (1-3-1) heading into the Olympic break. Gibson is 23-12-2 with four shutouts, 2.57 GAA and .905 save percentage in 38 starts this season. He also has one assist.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Set to start Thursday
Ingram is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Thursday, per Oilers TV reporter Paige Martin.
Ingram drew into Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Anaheim in relief of Tristan Jarry, stopping three of four shots in 12:41 of ice time. Ingram was also charged with the loss for allowing Anaheim's final goal. The 28-year-old has a 6-5-1 record, 2.70 GAA and .895 save percentage in 14 outings with Edmonton in 2025-26. The Kings will attempt to end their four-game losing streak (0-3-1). They've been outscored 17-9 over that stretch.

Dustin Wolf G | CGY
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Facing Sharks
Wolf will guard the road goal versus the Sharks on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Wolf is set to get the first game coming out of the Olympic break. The 24-year-old went 2-3-1 with 19 goals allowed on 164 shots over his six outings prior to the break, which saw him mostly alternate starts with Devin Cooley. One of his wins in that stretch was a 23-save performance at home versus the Sharks on Jan. 31.

MacKenzie Blackwood G | COL
Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Receiving start Thursday
Blackwood will guard the home goal versus the Wild on Thursday.
Blackwood will play the second half of a back-to-back after Scott Wedgewood earned a 4-2 win over the Mammoth on Wednesday. Prior to the Olympic break, Blackwood went 3-3-0 with 13 goals allowed on 150 shots over his previous six outings. He's been pretty good this season, but the Wild will be a tough test.

Jordan Binnington G | STL
Blues' Jordan Binnington: On non-roster list
Binnington (not injury related) was put on the non-roster list Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Binnington is getting Thursday's home game against Seattle off after serving for Team Canada during the 2026 Winter Olympics. Joel Hofer is expected to get the start Thursday, while Georgi Romanov is up from AHL Springfield to serve as the understudy. Binnington might rejoin the Blues for Saturday's home game versus the Devils.
