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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tolopilo will be between the visiting pipes in Chicago on Friday, according to Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Tolopilo is 3-5-2 with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 12 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are averaging 2.62 goals per game this season, 27th in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic will defend the home cage versus St. Louis on Friday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Nedeljkovic, who signed a two-year contract extension worth $6 million earlier in the day, will aim for his 12th win of the season. He has a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 26 appearances this season. The Blues are generating 2.59 goals per game, 28th in the NHL.

Dostal will defend the home crease against the Canadiens on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Dostal got the night off in the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday against the Islanders, but he'll return to the crease Friday for the eighth time in the Ducks' last nine games. He's picked up wins in 11 of his 13 appearances dating back to mid-January, going 11-2-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage during that time. He'll face a formidable opponent Friday, as the Canadiens rank third in the league with 3.52 goals per game this year.

Jarry will start Friday's home game against the Hurricanes, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Jarry has sat out the last three games after a cold spell in which he's gone 2-3-0 with a 5.47 GAA and .826 save percentage over his last six appearances. He'll have a difficult matchup in his return to the crease Friday, as the Hurricanes rank fifth in the NHL with 3.44 goals per game this year.

Blackwood is slated to start Friday's road game against Dallas, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Blackwood will tend the twine for the fourth time in Colorado's six games since the Olympic break. Across his three starts following the layoff, he's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .914 save percentage. He'll face a tough test Friday, as the Stars rank sixth in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game this year.
