Demko is expected to start on the road against Minnesota on Saturday, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Demko has a 4-3-0 record, 2.17 GAA and .926 save percentage in seven outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 24 shots in his last start Tuesday, but the Canucks didn't offer him any offensive support, resulting in a 2-0 loss to the Rangers. The Wild are 3-6-3 and tied for 26th in goals per game with 2.58.

Lindgren is set to guard the road crease against Buffalo on Saturday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Lindgren earned a 35-save shutout in his season debut against the Rangers on Oct. 12, but he's allowed 11 goals on 58 shots (.810 save percentage) in his two outings since that perfect game. He's also traditionally had mixed results against the Sabres, posting a 2-2-1 record, 3.50 GAA and .877 save percentage across six career regular-season appearances. Buffalo is 4-4-3 and ranks 19th in goals per game with 3.00 this year.

Askarov is expected to start at home against Colorado on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Askarov has a 1-4-1 record, 4.69 GAA and .844 save percentage in six outings this year. The 23-year-old has surrendered four or more goals in five of his six appearances. Colorado is 7-1-4 and ranks second in goals per game with 3.75, so this is a very tough assignment for the young goaltender.

Saros will be between the pipes for Saturday's home matchup against Calgary, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros has lost his last two outings, giving up seven goals on 48 shots. He has a 4-4-2 record this season with a 2.86 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 10 appearances. Calgary ranks 32nd in the league with only 2.17 goals per game this campaign.

Shesterkin is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Saturday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Shesterkin has a 3-4-2 record, 2.32 GAA and .916 save percentage in nine appearances this season. While his overall GAA and save percentage are favorable, the 29-year-old goaltender is working through a rough patch in which he's surrendered 14 goals on 90 shots (.844 save percentage) across his past three starts. Seattle is 5-2-3 and tied for 23rd in goals per game with 2.80 this year.

Comrie will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Comrie has a 2-0-0 record this season while turning aside 63 of the 68 shots he has faced. He likely won't play much behind Connor Hellebuyck this campaign, but Comrie has been a decent backup for the team over the years. Pittsburgh has scored 3.67 goals per game in 2025-26, ranking fourth in the league.

Wolf is expected to start on the road against Nashville on Saturday, per Eric Francis of Sportsnet.

Wolf has a 2-7-1 record, 3.44 GAA and .887 save percentage in 10 appearances this season. He stopped 33 of 37 shots en route to a 4-3 loss to Toronto in his last start Tuesday. Nashville has struggled to score goals this year -- the Predators are tied for 30th in goals per game with 2.33 -- so Wolf might fare better in this matchup.

Knight was the first goaltender off the ice during morning skate, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports, indicating he will get the road start in Edmonton on Saturday.

Knight had a rough start Thursday, giving up six goals on 32 shots in a 6-3 loss to Winnipeg. He is 4-3-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .914 save percentage across eight starts this season, as he has solidified the Chicago goaltending situation. The Oilers average 3.17 goals per game in 2025-26, 18th in the NHL.

Luukkonen will patrol the home crease versus Washington on Saturday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Luukkonen has fared well against the Capitals in his career, posting a 5-1-2 record with a 2.91 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Luukkonen has made only one start this season, as he suffered a lower-body injury during training camp. He allowed four goals on 23 shots in an overtime loss to Toronto on Oct. 25.

Silovs will defend the road net against Winnipeg on Saturday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Silovs is coming off a 32-save effort in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to Philadelphia. He has a 3-1-2 record this season while surrendering only 15 goals on 186 shots. Winnipeg is tied for fifth in the league with 3.64 goals per game this campaign.
