James Reimer G | OTT
Senators' James Reimer: Earns win in regular-season finale
Reimer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Reimer played the last two games of the regular season to give Linus Ullmark some rest before the postseason. On the year, Reimer has a 7-4-2 record with a 2.42 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 14 contests. It'll likely be Ullmark in net for the vast majority of the Senators' playoff games, so don't expect to see Reimer very much moving forward.

Kevin Lankinen G | VAN
Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: In goal against Oilers
Lankinen will get the starting nod on the road versus Edmonton on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Despite allowing three or more goals in each of his last three outings, Lankinen finds himself entering the season finale on a three-game winning streak. While the Finnish backstop has had some recent success, it's been a disappointing year overall, as he is sporting a career-worst 3.65 GAA and managed just 11 wins in 46 appearances.

Anton Forsberg G | LA
Kings' Anton Forsberg: Guarding cage versus Flames
Forsberg will be in goal on the road against Calgary on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Forsberg is riding a five-game winning streak during which he recorded a 1.37 GAA and one shutout. The 33-year-old's run of form could see him get the Game 1 start if he puts together another strong outing versus the Flames. If Forsberg does get the nod, he will likely be on a short leash with Darcy Kuemper waiting in the wings.

Arsenii Sergeev G | CGY
Flames' Arsenii Sergeev: Tending twine Thursday
Sergeev will patrol the crease at home versus Los Angeles on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Sergeev will be making his NHL debut after having played in both the ECHL and AHL this season, in part due to the absence of Devin Cooley (illness). With the Wranglers, the 23-year-old Sergeev went 5-13-8 while carrying a 3.29 GAA. Despite the debut, Sergeev will likely need some more time developing in the minors before getting a true shot at making the Flames' roster.

Scott Wedgewood G | COL
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Between pipes against Kraken
Wedgewood will tend the twine at home versus Seattle on Thursday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Wedgewood will likely enter the postseason as the No. 2 option behind Mackenzie Blackwood, which means Thursday's outing could be Wedgewood's last of the year. In his 44 regular-season appearances for the Avalanche, the 33-year-old netminder has gone 30-6-6 with a 2.07 GAA and three shutouts, posting the highest win total of his NHL career.

Calvin Petersen G | MIN
Wild's Cal Petersen: Recalled from minors
Petersen was called up from AHL Iowa on Thursday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Petersen will be the Wild's third goaltender in the playoffs, as Iowa finished in the basement of the AHL's Central Division and did not make the playoffs. Petersen had a 13-16-2 record with a 2.73 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 33 AHL games this season.

Devin Cooley G | CGY
Flames' Devin Cooley: Not dressing Thursday
Cooley (illness) will not dress for the season finale against Los Angeles on Thursday.
Cooley finishes the 2025-26 season with a 10-10-6 record. His peripherals were very good on a poor Calgary squad, as he had a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 31 regular-season appearances. The Flames recalled Arsenii Sergeev from AHL Calgary in a corresponding move.

Eric Comrie G | WPG
Jets' Eric Comrie: Poised to start Thursday
Comrie was the first goalie off and is expected to be between the pipes at home versus the Sharks on Thursday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Comrie has played in just 24 games this season, going 12-10-1 with a 3.00 GAA. It's been a slow stretch for the netminder of late, as the Jets were utilizing Connor Hellebuyck with extra frequency in the hopes of making the playoffs. A free agent this summer, Comrie could try to find another landing spot where he could see extra work.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: In goal Thursday
Ingram will be between the pipes at home versus Vancouver on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Ingram has taken over as the No. 1 option in Edmonton and figures to lead the team into the postseason as well. Since the Olympic break, the 29-year-old backstop has played in 18 of the team's last 23 contests, posting a 9-6-2 record, 2.64 GAA and one shutout.
