Murashov will patrol the road crease in Saturday's clash against the Canadiens, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Murashov is set to play his first game since Oct. 17. He's had a slow start to the new season, which has allowed Arturs Silovs to secure the Penguins' No. 1 spot between the pipes. Overall, the 22-year-old Murashov has posted a 0-3-1 record, a 3.50 GAA and an .883 save percentage across four appearances this season. Getting his first win will be a difficult task Saturday, as he'll face off against a Canadiens' squad coming off a 5-2 win over Dallas on Thursday. Murashov is best left on waivers in fantasy until he can reclaim his form from the 2025-26 campaign.

Hofer will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Saturday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Hofer is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 4-1 win over Boston. He has a 5-3-1 record, a 2.24 GAA and a .923 save percentage in nine appearances this season. Detroit (6-4-3) sits 26th in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.69 goals per game.

DiPietro will defend the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Blackhawks, per Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe.

DiPietro is set to make his first appearance since his first career shutout, which he earned by making 28 saves against the Predators on Oct. 22. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 2-1-0 record, a 1.69 GAA and a .941 save percentage across three appearances this season. He's slated to be an excellent streaming option in all fantasy formats Saturday, as the Blackhawks currently rank 31st in the NHL with 2.08 goals per game.

Oettinger will defend the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Blue Jackets, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Oettinger will don the mask for a Halloween Night clash against Columbus, as he looks to bounce back after he lost his first game since Oct. 13 on Thursday. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 6-3-1 record, a 1.69 GAA, a league-leading three shutouts and a .917 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. He remains one of the top starts across all fantasy formats for Saturday, as the Blue Jackets rank 29th in the NHL with 2.45 goals per game this season.

Montembeault (lower body) is considered day-to-day, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports on Saturday.

Montembeault will miss his 11th straight game against Pittsburgh on Saturday, but he participated in the morning skate and appears to be working his way toward a return. He hasn't logged any playing time in the 2026-27 season, and it will be difficult for him to get starts once he's healthy behind Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes.

Fowler will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler has stopped 165 of 173 shots during his six-game winning streak. He owns a 6-1-0 record, a 1.54 GAA and a .942 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Pittsburgh (5-6-2) ranks 13th in the league with 3.23 goals per game during the 2026-27 campaign.

Sogaard notched a 21-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 7-0 win over Hamilton on Friday.

Sogaard improved to 3-2-1 on the season with his second shutout of the AHL campaign. He's added a 2.06 GAA and a .920 save percentage. Sogaard is looking solid as the organization No. 3 for the Lightning, though he won't be in the NHL unless Andrei Vasilevskiy or Dennis Hildeby become unavailable.

Daccord stopped 11 of 13 shots in relief of Philipp Grubauer in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Flames.

Daccord played the second half of the game after Grubauer got the early hook. This wasn't exactly a confidence-building outing for Daccord, as he was scored on early in his appearance before settling down a bit. He remains 3-3-0 on the year with an unsightly 3.96 GAA and .880 save percentage over seven games (six starts). The Kraken host the Flames in a rematch Wednesday, but head coach Lane Lambert's unpredictability with his goalie usage makes it tough to tell if Daccord will get a chance to get his season on track after an ugly October.

Grubauer stopped 10 of 14 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Flames.

Grubauer played a little more than half of the game before he was chased. The 34-year-old netminder had won his last three starts, but the results had indicated more luck than talent, and his luck ran out Friday. He's now 5-2-1 with a 3.24 GAA and an .886 save percentage over nine appearances (eight starts). The Kraken's next game is a rematch against the Flames in Seattle, and with some time to practice, it'll be interesting to see which goalie gets the starting nod from head coach Lane Lambert for that contest.

Wolf stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Wolf put in a good performance and got plenty of help from his offense to earn his first win since Oct. 13. He had seemingly lost the starting job to Devin Cooley (lower body), but Wolf will be the starter again while Cooley is on injured reserve. Wolf is 2-4-0 with a 4.39 GAA and an .847 save percentage over seven games this season, so he has a long way to go to earn back trust with fantasy managers. The Flames' next game is in Colorado on Saturday. It's not yet clear if they'll have Wolf start consecutive days or give Arsenii Sergeev his second career game in one of the toughest matchups in the league.
