Gibson stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Islanders.

The Red Wings looked weary as they played their fourth game in the last six days, and Gibson received no support either offensively or defensively. The veteran netminder hasn't won a game since Oct. 28, going 0-4-1 over his last six outings with a 3.73 GAA and .864 save percentage, and Gibson's in danger of falling out of a timeshare with Cam Talbot, who's gone 5-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .904 save percentage during that same span.

Sorokin made 29 saves in Thursday's 5-0 win over Detroit.

The veteran netminder was especially busy in the second period, turning aside all 15 shots he faced as the Red Wings tried to get back into the game after falling behind 2-0 in the first. It was Sorokin's second shutout of the season, both of which have come in November, and over six starts this month he's gone 4-1-1 with a stellar 1.80 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Mrazek is set to start at home against Ottawa on Thursday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Mrazek has a 3-1-0 record, 3.72 GAA and .887 save percentage in four outings in 2025-26. He stopped 28 of 29 shots in a 2-0 loss to Minnesota in his last start Saturday. Ottawa has a 9-6-4 record and is tied for eighth in goals per game with 3.26.

Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

This will be Schmid's fourth start in the last five games, indicating he has pulled firmly ahead of Carl Lindbom for the Golden Knights' starting job while Adin Hill (lower body) is out. Schmid has gone 4-0-2 with a 2.29 GAA and a .902 save percentage over his last six games.

Knight is expected to start at home against Seattle on Thursday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Knight has a 7-3-3 record, 2.42 GAA and .924 save percentage in 13 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 31 of 33 shots en route to a 3-2 win over Toronto in his last start Saturday. Seattle is 9-5-5 and ranks 28th in goals per game with 2.68.

Daccord will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Daccord will make his second straight start since overcoming an upper-body injury. He gave up three goals on 26 shots against the Red Wings in his return Tuesday. The 29-year-old will face a Chicago team that has 25 goals over the last six games, going 5-0-1 in that span.

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.
