Korpisalo stopped 20 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

The 31-year-old netminder has found some momentum after a sluggish beginning to the season, winning three straight starts while allowing seven goals on 97 shots. On the season, Korpisalo is 4-3-0 through seven outings with a 3.24 GAA and .885 save percentage, but his recent success -- as well as Jeremy Swayman's own inconsistency -- has resulted in a full timeshare in the Boston crease, with each goalie seeing five starts in the last 10 games.

Wallstedt will get the starting nod on the road against the Islanders on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Wallstedt has yet to lose in regulation this season, posting a 1-0-2 record to go with a 3.46 GAA and .863 save percentage. With Filip Gustavsson taking the first game of the Wild's back-to-back versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, it will fall to Wallstedt to feature the second night. While Wallstedt hasn't been in peak form, Gustavsson hasn't performed significantly better, so fantasy managers may want to monitor their usage over the next several games to see if Wallstedt can steal a few extra starts.

Ullmark made 22 saves in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Facing the team he won a Vezina Trophy with in the 2022-23 season, Ullmark gave up two goals in the second period but otherwise stood tall in regulation, only to have Pavel Zacha jam home a loose puck with just six seconds left in OT. The veteran netminder has just one win in his last four starts, allowing at least three goals in each contest. On the season, he's 5-4-3 with a shaky 3.36 GAA and .863 save percentage.

Lindbom stopped 21 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Lindbom is still in search of his first win at the NHL level, as this defeat sent him to 0-2-1 on the year. He's faced the Lightning in both of the Golden Knights' games against them, but he didn't fare as well on home ice as he did in Tampa on Oct. 26. With 10 goals allowed on 79 shots over three appearances, Lindbom is a risky option for fantasy managers. The Golden Knights will likely turn back to Akira Schmid for a tough home matchup versus the Ducks on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy stopped 29 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Vasilevskiy had trouble against the Golden Knights' top line, but the Lightning's more balanced offense helped him overcome those issues. While he's allowed three goals in back-to-back games on this road trip, he was able to secure the win Thursday. Vasilevskiy is now 4-4-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 10 outings. The Lightning return home to face the Capitals on Saturday.

Forsberg stopped 19 of 24 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Forsberg has allowed five goals in two of his five outings so far. The 32-year-old was shaky from the start but escaped the first period with the game tied at 2-2 before the Panthers locked things down in the final 40 minutes. Forsberg is now 2-2-1 on the year with a 3.54 GAA and an .878 save percentage. The Kings have struggled on the whole, and they're not getting a lot of help from the backup netminder to provide steady play. Expect Darcy Kuemper between the pipes as the Kings kick off a road trip in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Bobrovsky stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Bobrovsky was able to limit the Kings to a pair of goals scored 1:37 apart in the middle of the first period. The 37-year-old has had some uneven performances lately, but this was one of his better outings of the year. He's now at a 7-4-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 11 starts. The Panthers' road trip continues Saturday in San Jose.

Gustavsson made 23 saves in a 4-3 loss to Carolina on Thursday night.

This season has been a rough go for Gustavsson, who sports a 4-7-1 record, 3.19 GAA and .896 save percentage in 12 starts. That's a far cry from his stand-out 31-19-6 record, 2.56 GAA and .914 save percentage in 58 starts last season. Gustavsson is better than his record indicates, but his ratios are a drag on cumulative fantasy categories where it can be hard to overcome a slow start.

Andersen made 20 saves in a 4-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

Andersen sits with a 5-3-0 record, 2.97 GAA and .892 save percentage in eight starts. He recovered from a weak start Thursday to stone two Canes in tight in the last 10-15 seconds of the second frame that kept his team in the game. Anderson sits 2-3-0 with 17 goals allowed in his last five starts. He's an imperfect option at this point in his career; be ready to shuffle fast when, not if, he gets hurt.

Saros stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Saros has now dropped four of his last five games, going 1-2-2 with 16 goals allowed in that span. This was one of his better performances, but the Predators couldn't get anything past Dan Vladar after a Ryan O'Reilly deflection goal early in the first period. Saros slipped to 5-5-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Predators have a home matinee game versus the Stars on Saturday, which could be another challenge for Saros should he get the start. He didn't play in an Oct. 26 home loss to the Stars.
