Thompson is expected to start on the road against Utah on Thursday, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.

Thompson has stopped 141 of 150 shots (.940 save percentage) across his past five outings, but a lack of offensive support has resulted in a 2-1-2 record over that stretch. He's 24-20-6 with a 2.37 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 50 outings this season. Utah ranks 14th in goals per game with 3.13 this season.

Markstrom is expected to start on the road against Nashville on Thursday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Markstrom has won his last two outings while allowing six goals on 40 shots (.850 save percentage). He has a 21-16-1 record, 3.10 GAA and .884 save percentage in 39 outings in 2025-26. Nashville has won its past five games while outscoring the competition 20-10.

Postava was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday under emergency conditions.

Postava has a 1.86 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 21 outings with Grand Rapids this season. He hasn't made his NHL debut yet. Cam Talbot (undisclosed) won't be available for Friday's road game against Buffalo, so Postava or John Gibson will get the start with the other netminder serving as the understudy.

Husso has appeared in just four of the Ducks' 15 games coming out of the Olympic break, going 2-2-0 with a 2.81 GAA. If Anaheim can open up a lead in the Pacific, it might decide to utilize Husso more down the stretch in order to keep Lukas Dostal fresh for a postseason run.

Hill will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet,

Hill has not played well since the NHL returned to action following the Olympic break. He is 5-6-0 with a 2.78 GAA and an .867 save percentage across 11 starts.

Ingram will be in goal on the road against the Golden Knights on Thursday, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram has appeared in 14 of the Oilers' last 19 outings, having clearly cemented himself as the preferred option ahead of Tristan Jarry. Still, the 28-year-old Ingram has allowed three or more goals in four of his last five contests, posting a 2-2-1 record and 2.97 GAA.
