Allen will guard the road goal against Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

Allen will make his second straight start after stopping 23 shots in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Florida. He has a 7-3-0 record with a 2.13 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Philadelphia sits 29th in the league with 2.63 goals per game this campaign.

Cooley will be between the home pipes versus Dallas on Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Cooley picked up his first win of the campaign in a 6-2 victory over Buffalo on Wednesday. He is 1-2-1 with a 1.80 GAA and a .935 save percentage over six appearances this season. Dallas is tied 10th in the NHL this year with 3.24 goals per game.

Murashov made 10 saves on 11 shots in relief during Friday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.

Murashov made his season debut on Nov. 9 in a loss to the Kings, though he posted an .889 save percentage in that defeat. The 21-year-old has shown promise in his first three appearances with Pittsburgh, going 1-1-0 with a 1.53 GAA and a .932 save percentage. With Tristan Jarry (lower body) on injured reserve, Murashov should continue to see playing time as Arturs Silovs' backup, which is especially true given the latter's recent struggles.

Silovs was pulled from Friday's 5-0 loss to the Wild after allowing four goals on 10 shots.

Silovs didn't have his best stuff before being replaced by Sergei Murashov, who made 10 saves on 11 shots faced in relief, in the second period. Silovs has been struggling of late and has won just one of his last five starts, a stretch where he's gone 1-2-2 with a 3.16 GAA and an .890 save percentage.

Gustavsson posted a 19-save shutout in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.

Gustavsson has earned wins while posting a save percentage of at least .920 in his last two outings. The 27-year-old seems to be turning things around after a couple of subpar showings in recent weeks. Gustavsson has a .921 save percentage while going 4-1-1 in six November appearances.

Grubauer was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, Piper Shaw of Kraken Hockey Network reports, indicating he will defend the road goal in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Grubauer has won three straight games and has provided the Kraken with excellent backup goaltending. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .903 save percentage across five appearances this season. He will face a tired Penguins team that dropped a 5-0 decision at home Friday to Minnesota.

Luukkonen stopped 20 of 23 shots in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Luukkonen did a decent job between the posts and had plenty of offensive support to earn the victory. He has made just four starts in November, going 2-2-0 with a 2.78 GAA and an .893 save percentage, as he seems to have fallen out of favor lately. His recent performances won't help him regain the starting role, but getting some victories should help him remain an option in a crowded Buffalo crease.

Soderblom stopped 21 of 30 shots in Friday's 9-3 loss to Buffalo.

Soderblom has started three of the Blackhawks' last six games, but this will probably go down as one of the worst performances of his career. He was on a run of posting a save percentage of at least .900 in three of his previous four outings, a stretch where he'd gone 2-2-0 with a 2.04 GAA and a .929 save percentage, so this subpar showing came out of nowhere. Soderblom will aim to recover in his next start, and if the Blackhawks continue to rotate netminders, that game might come against the Wild on Wednesday at home.

Woll will get the starting nod in Montreal on Saturday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Woll will get his fourth straight start in goal for the Maple Leafs after missing the beginning of the season due to personal reasons. He is 1-1-1 with a 2.57 GAA while allowing eight goals on 91 shots. The Canadiens sit fifth in the NHL with 3.35 goals per game.

Skinner will defend the road net against Florida on Saturday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Skinner has lost his last two outings while surrendering nine goals on 47 shots. He has a 7-6-3 record with one shutout, a 3.00 GAA and an .882 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Florida ranks 23rd in the league with 2.90 goals per game this campaign.
