Nedeljkovic is expected to start at home against Pittsburgh on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

It's an opportunity for Nedeljkovic to face his former team. He had a 14-15-5 record, 3.12 GAA and .894 save percentage in 38 outings with Pittsburgh in 2024-25. The 29-year-old goaltender has started in two games this season, going 0-1-1 while stopping 65 of 74 shots (.878 save percentage). Pittsburgh is 3-2-0 and has scored 15 goals in five games this year.

Sorokin turned aside 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

The 30-year-old netminder got beaten four times in the first two periods, but Sorokin slammed the door shut on Ottawa over the final 20 minutes to give the Islanders a chance to mount a comeback. Sorokin has given up exactly four goals in four straight starts to begin the season. However, Saturday marked the first time he got enough offensive support to get into the win column. He has a 1-3-0 record, 4.13 GAA and .861 save percentage.

Lyon stopped 32 shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.

The 32-year-old netminder got staked to an early lead thanks to a pair of Josh Doan power-play tallies, and Lyon was able to handle Florida's attempts at a comeback. It was the fifth career shutout for Lyon, and his first of the season. Through five starts, he's gone 2-3-0 with a 2.43 GAA and .929 save percentage. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) returned to Tuesday's practice but doesn't have a target date for his return, so Lyon will continue handling the No. 1 role for the Sabres.

Stolarz is expected to start at home against Seattle on Saturday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Stolarz has a 2-2-0 record, 2.52 GAA and .907 save percentage in four outings this season. Stolarz made 28 saves in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Rangers on Thursday. Seattle is 2-0-2 and has scored 12 goals across those four games.

Bobnrovsky made 28 saves in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Buffalo.

Two of the Sabres' goals came on power plays, as Bobrovsky got little help from his teammates in the afternoon contest. The veteran netminder gave up more than two goals in a start for the first time this season, and through five appearances, Bobrovsky sports a 3-2-0 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

Quick is set to start on the road against Montreal on Saturday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Quick is getting his second start of the season after stopping 20 of 21 shots in a 1-0 loss to Washington on Sunday. The 39-year-old Quick will probably be limited to 20-25 starts this season if Igor Shesterkin stays healthy. Montreal is 4-1-0 and is tied for sixth in goals per game with 3.60 this year.

Saros will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros has gone 2-0-2 with a 1.94 GAA and a .935 save percentage over his first four games this season. The 30-year-old will face his toughest test yet in the Jets, who have scored 17 goals over their first four games.

Johansson will guard the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Johansson is playing the second half of a back-to-back. He won his first start with 30 saves on 33 shots against the Bruins on Monday. Andrei Vasilevskiy has struggled and may get more rest if he can't right the ship soon, which would open the door for Johansson to play more.

Wallstedt will protect the road net in Saturday's game versus the Flyers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson started in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals. In his season debut against the Kings, Wallstedt stopped 31 of 34 shots to pick up a shootout win. The 22-year-old has handled a backup role so far in 2025-26.

Hill will patrol the home crease against Calgary on Saturday.

Hill has posted a record of 0-0-2 while allowing nine goals on 58 shots. He left Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flames because of a lower-body injury, but served as Akira Schmid's backup in Thursday's 6-5 win over Boston.
