  • Wild's Cal Petersen: Earns shutout for Iowa

    Petersen recorded a 28-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 2-0 win over Springfield on Friday.

    Petersen is up to three shutouts in 24 appearances this season. He's gone 9-14-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage. While he's a veteran goalie, the Wild have been more than fine rolling with Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt at the NHL level this season.

  • Rangers' Spencer Martin: Shuts out Bridgeport

    Martin posted a 22-save shutout in AHL Hartford's 6-0 win over Bridgeport on Friday.

    Martin is now 3-6-2 on the year at the AHL level, though two of those wins have come via shutout. He's added a 3.23 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 12 games for the Wolf Pack. Martin will likely remain with Hartford unless Igor Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick gets sidelined.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Tending twine in Vegas

    Gustavsson will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Gustavsson has five wins in his last six NHL games. He's posted a .927 save percentage in that span as well. The Wild look to be leaning on Gustavsson at this point, putting him firmly ahead of Jesper Wallstedt on the depth chart. This is a tough matchup, but Gustavsson's recent play suggests he can keep the Wild in it against anyone.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: In goal Friday

    Binnington will draw the road start versus the Sharks on Friday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

    Binnington will get the nod in a game that could be challenging for the Blues, who only have five defensemen dressed for the contest. With Justin Faulk traded to Detroit and Colton Parayko (back) out, that's a lot of defensive skill unavailable Friday. Binnington has lost eight straight NHL games, all in regulation, and he has an .844 save percentage in that span.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Not available Friday

    Knight (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Canucks, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

    Knight will miss at least one game, and Arvid Soderblom will start Friday. Caydon Edwards is the emergency backup goalie for this contest but shouldn't be expected to see the ice unless Soderblom gets hurt. Knight's status for Sunday in Dallas is not yet clear, but the Blackhawks would likely dip into their depth at AHL Rockford if he is still sick over the weekend.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Facing Oilers

    Andersen will protect the road goal versus the Oilers on Friday, Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan reports.

    Andersen is getting the first half of a back-to-back and the harder matchup of the Hurricanes' two games in Alberta. He will be starting for the third time in four games, having allowed four goals on 44 shots over his last two outings. Brandon Bussi will likely get the nod Saturday versus the Flames.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting Friday

    Soderblom will guard the home goal versus the Canucks on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Soderblom will get a start in a soft matchup against the NHL's worst team. The 26-year-old posted a 22-save shutout over the Mammoth in his last outing. This is the kind of game where Soderblom is a viable streaming and DFS option for fantasy managers.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Defending crease Friday

    Bobrovsky will protect the road net against Detroit on Friday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Bobrovsky has gone 0-2-0 in his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 57 shots. He has a 22-19-1 record this campaign with three shutouts, a 3.13 GAA and an .873 save percentage through 43 appearances. Detroit sits 20th in the league with 2.95 goals per game this season.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Might be back by playoffs

    Kochetkov (hip) might be available in time for the playoffs, according to Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News on Friday.

    Kochetkov hasn't played since Dec. 20 because of the injury. He was previously expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign, so if he ends up playing at all before the end of the regular season, that would be a bit of a surprise. Kochetkov has a 6-2-0 record, 2.33 GAA and .899 save percentage in nine outings this campaign. Brandon Bussi might maintain the starting gig for the rest of the regular season even if Kochetkov returns. However, Kochetkov would eat into Bussi and Frederik Andersen's playing time.

  • Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: First off ice

    Schmid was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease versus Minnesota on Friday.

    Schmid is 1-3-1 in his last five starts, giving up 14 goals on 129 shots (.891 save percentage). Overall, the 25-year-old netminder is 16-8-6 with a 2.56 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. The Wild are tied for 10th in NHL scoring, generating 3.31 goals per game in 2025-26.
