Ingram will guard the road goal versus the Blues on Friday, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram is set to handle the second half of a back-to-back. He was able to back up versus the Stars on Thursday after an injury scare. Tristan Jarry ended up taking a 7-2 loss to the Stars, so Ingram will look to get the Oilers back on track in an easier matchup.

Kuemper is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Friday, per Mayor's Manor.

Kuemper has a 15-13-10 record, 2.70 GAA and .897 save percentage in 40 appearances in 2025-26. He's struggled recently, posting a 1-3-1 record, 3.84 GAA and .857 save percentage across his past five outings. The Islanders have been fantastic across their past nine games, going 7-2-0 while averaging 3.44 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Hellebuyck didn't have his best performance in this game and posted a woeful .688 save percentage -- his lowest mark in a single game in which he started in the current campaign. However, this was the first time he allowed more than three goals in a game since the beginning of March. In six starts, Hellebuyck has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .901 save percentage this month.

Shesterkin stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Shesterkin has won his last three starts and has allowed two goals or fewer in two of those wins. The Rangers are all but eliminated from postseason contention, but Shesterkin should remain a valuable fantasy asset in most formats. He owns a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage in six appearances since the Olympic break, going 4-0-2 in that span.

Vladar stopped 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

Vladar was beaten twice in the second period when Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov found the back of the net, but he was impressive the rest of the way. The 28-year-old Vladar stepped up in the shootout as well and stopped all three shots. This was a nice bounce-back effort from Vladar, who allowed six goals on 24 shots faced in the 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday. The Czech goaltender has allowed three or fewer goals in all but one of his last 11 appearances, posting a 2.45 GAA and a .904 save percentage in that span.

Shepard and Jake Chiasson were acquired by Montreal from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Riley Kidney.

Shepard has a 3.65 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 15 outings with AHL Belleville in 2025-26. He also has a 2-3-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .863 save percentage in six career regular-season NHL appearances. This move occurred after the NHL trade deadline, so Shepard isn't eligible to play for Montreal for the remainder of 2025-26, including the playoffs.

Wallstedt is expected to feature in the crease for Sunday's home clash with Toronto, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt will get the nod Sunday after Filip Gustavsson goes against the Rangers at home Saturday. The 23-year-old Wallstedt is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-1-2 record, 2.85 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Gustavsson will patrol the home crease against the Rangers on Saturday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson was perfect Tuesday, turning aside all 25 shots in a 5-0 win over Utah. It was his fourth shutout of the season and third straight win. He is 24-10-6 with a 2.46 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 games this season. The Rangers are tied for 24th in NHL scoring, generating 2.80 goals per game.

Ellis is questionable to suit up against the Maple Leafs on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Ellis has not appeared in a game for the Sabres since Feb. 3 against the Lightning, so it's possible his undisclosed injury won't impact his availability for the Sabres. In his 13 outings, the 25-year-old backstop is sporting a 7-4-1 record, 3.11 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Brossoit was recalled from AHL San Jose on Friday.

The move was made necessary when Yaroslav Askarov tweaked something Thursday, forcing the Sharks to suit up emergency backup goaltender Kyle Chauvette, who was signed to an amateur tryout prior to Thursday's tilt in Boston. Brossoit is 11-2-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .915 save percentage for AHL San Jose this season. He is expected to back up Alex Nedeljkovic on Saturday in Montreal.
