NHL Player News

Woll will start at home versus the Blue Jackets on Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Woll is 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 61 shots over his first two games of the season. He earned his first win of the season last time out, stopping 27 of 29 shots against the Blues on Tuesday.

Pickard is set to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Thursday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Pickard has appeared in just three of Edmonton's past 12 games, but his relatively light workload isn't surprising given that he's allowed at least three goals in each of his past six outings. He's 2-3-1 with a 4.18 GAA and an .830 save percentage through seven appearances this year. Tampa Bay has a 10-7-2 record and ranks 15th in goals per game with 3.11.

Ullmark will tend the twine for Thursday's road tilt versus the Ducks, Senators on-air host Jackson Starr reports.

Ullmark has managed just one win in his last five outings, posting a 1-1-3 record to go with a 2.51 GAA. While his performances have been decent of late, as evidenced by the fact that he has earned at least a point in four of those outings, the netminder has struggled to find a way to get the win. Still, Ullmark should remain the No. 1 option in Ottawa ahead of Leevi Merilainen.

Oettinger was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.

Oettinger has been solid between the pipes recently, going 3-1-0 with a 2.49 GAA and .892 save percentage over his last four starts. The Canucks are scoring 3.10 goals per game this year, which is tied for 16th in the league.

Shesterkin was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice and will patrol the visiting crease in Colorado on Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Shesterkin saw his three-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday in Vegas, as he allowed three goals on 26 shots in a 3-2 loss. Shesterkin is 7-7-2 with a 2.43 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 16 starts this season. Shesterkin will face a tough test Thursday, as the Avalanche have lost only once in regulation over their first 19 games of the season.

Askarov was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Thursday's home matchup with Los Angeles, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes.

Askarov has been hard to beat of late, going 5-1-0 with a 1.31 GAA in his last six contests. With the 23-year-old netminder on top of his game, he figures to see plenty of work ahead of Alex Nedeljkovic. Through just 12 outings, Askarov has already set a new personal best with six wins and should be capable of challenging for the 20-win threshold at least.

Lankinen is going through his starter's routine at morning skate, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com, and is slated to protect the home crease against Dallas on Thursday.

Lankinen got a rare night off Monday, as Jiri Patera gave up seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to Florida. Lankinen will get his seventh start in the last eight games. Lankinen is 4-5-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. The Stars are tied for 11th in NHL scoring, generating 3.20 goals per game.

Vejmelka was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Golden Knights.

Vejmelka will start for the fourth time in Utah's last five games. Across his last three outings, he's gone 1-0-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .879 save percentage. The Golden Knights are tied for 13th in the league with 3.16 goals per game this season.

Wedgewood is expected to defend the home goal against the Rangers on Thursday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Wedgewood has won six straight games, allowing just 11 goals on 166 shots (.934 save percentage). He is 11-1-2 with a 2.17 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 15 appearances this season. He has taken over as the No. 1 goaltender in Colorado, bumping Mackenzie Blackwood to a backup role. The Rangers are 30th in NHL scoring, generating only 2.48 goals per game.

Greaves will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Toronto, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Greaves has been strong over the past week and a half, going 3-0-1 with a 2.12 GAA and .923 save percentage over his last four starts. He'll face a tough test against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, as they rank fourth in the league with 3.50 goals per game this season.
