NHL Player News

Ellis will start at home versus the Flames on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Ellis is set to start in an easy matchup. He'll be making his third straight start after allowing five goals on 61 shots over his last two wins. The 25-year-old appears to be pushing for more playing time with the Sabres, but he's still part of a goaltending trio that also includes Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon.

Korpisalo will defend the road crease against Anaheim on Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Korpisalo has seen limited playing time this season, but he's picked up wins in three of his last four outings, posting a 2.69 GAA and a .907 save percentage during that time. He started at home against the Ducks on Oct. 23 and allowed six goals on 29 shots in a 7-5 loss.

Kuemper is slated to start at home against Boston on Friday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

Kuemper won't be in the lineup Thursday in San Jose so that he can rest for Friday's game. He has a 7-4-3 record, 2.42 GAA and .904 save percentage in 14 appearances this season. Kuemper had a 1-0-1 record while stopping 35 of 39 shots (.897 save percentage) in two outings versus the Bruins during the 2024-25 regular season.

Forsberg is expected to be between the pipes on the road against San Jose on Thursday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Forsberg will be making his seventh appearance in the crease, having gone 3-2-1 with a 2.96 GAA and one shutout in his last six outings. With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, the team will let Darcy Kuemper skip the trip to San Jose, which means Pheonix Copley will serve as the No. 2 option versus the Sharks following his call-up from AHL Ontario on Wednesday.

Allen is slated to start on the road against Florida on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

Allen has won his past two games while saving 62 of 65 shots (.954 save percentage). He's improved to 7-2-0 with a 2.24 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 10 appearances this year. Allen previously faced Florida on Oct. 16 and stopped 21 of 22 shots en route to a 3-1 victory.

Dostal will serve as the starting goaltender for Wednesday's home game against the Bruins, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal returned to the win column Monday against Utah, turning aside 16 of 18 shots in a 3-2 victory that ended his two-game losing streak. He'll attempt to remain effective against the Bruins, who are scoring 3.24 goals per game this year, which ranks 10th in the league.

Andersen is set to start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Andersen will attempt to get back into the win column after going 0-1-1 while allowing seven goals on 50 shots (.860 save percentage) across his past two appearances. He's 5-4-1 with a. 3.09 GAA and an .886 save percentage in 10 outings this year. He stopped 21 of 24 shots en route to a 4-3 win over the Wild on Nov. 6.

Gibson will serve as the starting goaltender at home against the Islanders on Thursday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Gibson didn't start in either of the last two games, but he'll return to the net Thursday and will attempt to end his recent skid. Across his past five appearances, Gibson has gone 0-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .875 save percentage. The Islanders are scoring 3.20 goals per game this year, tying the team for 11th in the NHL.

Markstrom stopped 22 of 27 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.

Markstrom struggled in Tuesday's loss, which was highlighted by a hat trick from Lightning forward Jake Guentzel. After the loss, the 35-year-old Markstrom fell to a 5-3-1 record with a 3.83 GAA and an .864 save percentage through nine appearances this year. This stretch of sub-par play from the veteran netminder is out of character for him, as he's maintained a sub-3.00 GAA over the last 10 regular seasons. He should get back on track, but consistency could remain an issue throughout the campaign.

Vasilevskiy made 31 saves on 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.

Vasilevskiy was excellent in Tuesday's win, allowing just one goal late in the second period. With the victory, he is up to a 7-5-2 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 14 games this season. The 31-year-old goaltender's slow start to the season is in the rear-view mirror, as he has a 7-2-0 record with a 2.19 GAA and a .915 save percentage in his last nine appearances. With his recent dominance, Vasilevskiy is back on track for his ninth consecutive season with 30-plus wins. He remains a top option in all fantasy formats.
