Postava was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Postava spent the past week with the Red Wings on an emergency basis, and he went 1-0-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .889 save percentage across his two appearances with the NHL club. He'll head back to the minors since Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) has been cleared to dress as the backup for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Gibson is slated to start Thursday's home game against Chicago, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Although Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) is healthy enough to dress for Thursday's matchup, he's set to operate as the backup, so Gibson should draw his third start in the Red Wings' last four games. Across eight appearances to begin the regular season, Gibson has gone 3-4-1 with a 3.44 GAA and .867 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy will defend the home crease in Thursday's clash against the Jets, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Vasilevskiy will look to bounce back Thursday after his worst outing of the 2026-27 campaign, which was a 6-3 loss to the Avalanche on Friday. Outside the big loss, the 32-year-old netminder has been decent between the pipes with a 5-3-0 record, a 2.78 GAA and an .884 save percentage over eight outings. While he'll need to make up some ground to win his second consecutive Vezina Trophy, Vasilevskiy has plenty of time to turn his season around. He'll get a solid matchup against the Jets on Thursday, who are currently tied for 29th in the NHL with 2.33 goals per game. Vasilevskiy remains a high-level fantasy option moving forward.

Silovs was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Mammoth.

Silovs will draw a fourth consecutive start Thursday as he attempts to build upon his recent momentum. The 25-year-old is coming off back-to-back wins, and he's recorded a shutout, a 0.99 GAA and a .962 save percentage during that two-game span.

Thompson made 23 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Activated from a brief IR stint earlier in the day after recovering from a lower-body injury, Thompson got a cushy matchup against the NHL's 32nd-ranked offense and didn't disappoint, with the only two pucks to get past him coming on a re-directed point shot and on a Philly power play. Through eight starts this season, Thompson's gone 5-3-0 with a 2.78 GAA and .903 save percentage as the Capitals' No. 1 netminder.

Woll stopped 25 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals, with Washington's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

It was another tough night for Woll and the Flyers' defense. The former Toronto goalie has gotten into the win column only once in eight starts to begin his Philly tenure, and he's coughed up nine goals on 55 shots over his last two outings. On the season, Woll has gone 1-5-2 with a 3.13 GAA and .899 save percentage while working in a strict tandem with Dan Vladar.

Jarry stopped all 24 shots he faced in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Jarry recorded his first shutout of the season and the 24th of his NHL career, rebounding from Monday's shootout loss to Detroit. Edmonton limited Calgary's scoring opportunities, allowing the veteran netminder to deliver a relatively comfortable victory. The shutout should boost his confidence, and the Oilers' strong start to the campaign gives Jarry considerable fantasy upside as the team's undisputed No. 1 as long as Devon Levi (undisclosed) and Frederik Andersen (knee) remain sidelined. Jarry owns a 2.95 GAA and an .883 save percentage this season.

Wolf stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers after replacing an injured Devin Cooley (lower body).

Wolf entered after Cooley sustained a lower-body injury late in the first period and surrendered three goals over the final two frames. Cooley's injury could create additional starting opportunities for Wolf, but his performances this season have been far from encouraging. While Cooley was the starter during the Flames' recent four-game winning streak, Wolf owns a 4.81 GAA and an .839 save percentage across six appearances this season.

Bobrovsky stopped 12 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

Bobrovsky has had a few shaky performances this season, but this was as bad as it's been. He's lost both of his starts during the Maple Leafs' current road trip. The 38-year-old netminder is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 10 starts. Toronto paid up to get Bobrovsky on a three-year, $21 million contract in the summer, but the early returns haven't matched the price tag. The Maple Leafs wrap up this trip in Vancouver on Saturday.

Grubauer stopped 17 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Grubauer squandered a two-goal lead during the third period, but Brandon Montour's goal in the final minute bailed the goalie out. This was Grubauer's third win in a row, but he has allowed 10 goals on 81 shots in that span. He's up to a 5-1-1 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .897 save percentage across eight outings (seven starts) this season. While the wins are nice, Grubauer is often a shaky-at-best option for fantasy managers, especially if fortunes turn sour for the Kraken. Their next game is a favorable road matchup in Calgary on Friday.
