NHL Player News

Lindgren will protect the road net versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Lindgren has won his last three decisions, allowing nine goals on 90 shots over four appearances in that span. He'll play the second half of a back-to-back after Logan Thompson guided the Capitals to a 3-1 win over the Kings on Tuesday. The Sharks present a bit of a challenge, as they've scored 15 goals while going 3-2-0 over their last five games.

Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Canadiens on Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Comrie is set to get a chance to redeem himself after giving up three goals on 14 shots in his start versus the Sabres on Monday. Things haven't gone very well for Comrie as the Jets' primary starter lately -- he's 2-4-0 with 18 goals allowed over his last six outings. The Canadiens are in the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday, which may give Comrie a bit of relief.

Ellis will start in goal on the road versus the Flyers on Wednesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Ellis won his last outing, stopping 22 of 24 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Wild on Saturday. He is still working on carving out a larger share of playing time as the Sabres balance having three goalies on their roster. The Flyers have won three of their last four games while scoring 13 times in that span.

Vejmelka is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Utah radio broadcaster Mike Folta.

Vejmelka will try to get back into the win column after going 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on 45 shots (.822 save percentage) across his past three appearances. He's 10-7-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Anaheim ranks second in goals per game with 3.62.

Husso is expected to start at home against Utah on Wednesday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Husso stopped 21 of 22 shots en route to a 4-1 victory over St. Louis on Monday. He didn't make his NHL season debut until Nov. 28 against the Kings, but Husso will appear in his fourth straight game because Anaheim is without goaltenders Petr Mrazek (lower body) and Lukas Dostal (upper body). Utah is tied for 19th in goals per game with 2.96.

Mrazek (lower body) is expected to be out of action for the next 2-3 weeks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.

Mrazek was previously deemed day-to-day, but his new prognosis suggests he is dealing with something more severe. It's been a tough start to the 2025-26 campaign for the 33-year-old Czech, as he is sporting an .876 save percentage to go with a 3-3-0 record. With Lukas Dostal (upper body) on injured reserve, the Ducks will have to ride Ville Husso in the crease for the time being.

Askarov is expected to start at home against Washington on Wednesday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Askarov has won five of his past six outings while allowing 15 goals on 182 shots (.918 save percentage). The 23-year-old netminder has a 10-6-1 record, 2.96 GAA and .908 save percentage in 17 appearances. While he's shown a lot of potential recently, he'll be facing the red-hot Capitals, who have won eight of their past nine games to elevate their season record to 16-9-2.

Tolopilo (personal) was removed from the non-roster list and reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

Tolopilo has posted a 1-1-0 record while stopping 58 of 65 shots (.892 save percentage) across two appearances with Vancouver this season. The 25-year-old netminder also has a 3.35 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five outings with Abbotsford this season.

Oettinger is expected to start on the road against New Jersey on Wednesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Oettinger has won his past three games while stopping 83 of 91 shots (.912 save percentage). He's 11-4-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 17 outings this year. The Devils are tied for 11th in goals per game with 3.12, but they are missing Jack Hughes (finger).

Markstrom was the first goalie to exit the ice Wednesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Dallas.

Markstrom has conceded three or more goals in all but one of his last seven outings, posting a 4-2-1 record and .873 save percentage. As long as the veteran backstop can continue racking up wins, the Devils figure to continue rolling him out between the pipes.
