NHL Player News

Saros is slated to start at home against the Islanders on Thursday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros has a 16-14-3 record, 3.03 GAA and .894 save percentage in 33 appearances in 2025-26. He has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five outings. The Islanders rank 22nd in goals per game with 2.91.

Hildeby is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Hildeby has a 3-5-4 record, 2.90 GAA and .912 save percentage in 15 outings in 2025-26. He's making his first start since Dec. 28, though he did make a relief appearance Jan. 1 in which he earned the win over the Jets while stopping 22 of 23 shots. Philadelphia is tied for 19th in goals per game with 3.02.

Husso will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Husso will get his first start during this stint with the big club, which comes with Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) on injured reserve. Husso may have a chance to carve out some playing time, as Lukas Dostal has struggled mightily in recent outings. The Hurricanes have 21 goals over their last six games, going 3-3-0 in that span.

Quick is expected to start at home against Buffalo on Thursday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Quick has a 3-6-2 record, 2.23 GAA and .919 save percentage in 11 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't earned a win across his past seven appearances, going 0-5-2 with a 2.80 GAA and a .903 save percentage in that span. Buffalo is tied for 15th in goals per game with 3.10, though it's worth noting the Sabres have won 10 of their last 11 games and have scored four-plus goals in four of their past five.

Wolf will start in goal on the road versus the Bruins on Thursday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Wolf will start both halves of the Flames' back-to-back, as Devin Cooley is still working to get back to 100 percent after a recent illness. The 24-year-old Wolf stopped 32 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens, which was the third straight game in which he's allowed four goals. The Bruins have popped up on offense with 13 goals over their last three games.

Andersen will start Thursday's home game against the Ducks, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Andersen has seen limited playing time this season, but he's gone winless over nine starts since early November. During that time, he's gone 0-7-2 with a 3.85 GAA and .840 save percentage. The Ducks are scoring 3.28 goals per game this year, which ranks eighth in the NHL.

Ullmark (personal) was placed on the non-roster list Thursday, per Murray Pam of Hockey Hot Stove.

Ullmark was already granted a leave of absence Sunday, but this move opens a roster spot for Lars Eller (foot) to be activated off injured reserve. Ullmark has a 14-8-5 record, 2.95 GAA and .881 save percentage in 28 appearances in 2025-26. Mads Sogaard was summoned from AHL Belleville on Tuesday, and Leevi Merilainen is acting as the No. 1 netminder during Ullmark's absence.

Montembeault will start at home against Floirda on Thursday.

Montembeault has a 7-6-1 record, 3.48 GAA and .865 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2025-26. He's won his past two starts while stopping 52 of 57 shots (.912 save percentage). Florida is tied for 17th in goals per game with 3.05.

Brossoit, Nolan Allan and a 2028 seven-round pick were acquired by San Jose from Chicago on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Ellis, Jake Furlong and a 2028 fourth-round selection, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Brossoit has a 3.38 GAA and a .901 save percentage in six appearances with AHL Rockford in 2025-26. He hasn't played in the NHL this campaign. Yaroslav Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic have struggled in 2025-26 -- the Sharks rank 30th in goals per game with 3.49 -- so there might be an opportunity for Brossoit to get a shot in the NHL with his new organization. For now, though, Brossoit is projected to remain in the minors.

Greaves will start Thursday's road game against Vegas, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Greaves is in the midst of a slightly cold stretch in which he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .916 save percentage over his last four starts. However, he'll draw an eighth consecutive start in Thursday's matchup. During a home start against the Golden Knights on Dec. 13, he turned aside 23 of 26 shots (.885 save percentage) en route to a 3-2 loss.
