NHL Player News

Schmid is slated to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Schmid will look to get back into the win column after going 0-0-2 while allowing eight goals on 53 shots (.849 save percentage) across his last two starts. He's 6-1-2 with a 2.67 GAA and an .894 save percentage in nine outings this season. The Blues are 6-8-4 and rank 22nd in goals per game with 2.89.

Stolarz (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Stolarz will miss at least the next two games, starting with Saturday's road game versus Chicago, after landing on the IR list. He is day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. The 31-year-old netminder has a 6-5-1 record with a 3.51 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby could share starts until Stolarz is available to resume playing.

Hellebuyck is expected to guard the road goal against Calgary on Saturday, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Hellebuyck made 13 saves on 17 shots in a 5-3 loss to Seattle on Thursday, with the fifth goal being an empty-netter. He has a 7-6-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Calgary sits 32nd in the league with only 2.05 goals per game this campaign.

Murray will patrol the home crease versus San Jose on Saturday, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Murray has played well for the Kraken in a limited role. He is 0-2-1 with a 2.13 GAA and a .926 save percentage in four appearances this season. The Sharks are averaging 3.06 goals per game, a huge increase from last season, when they were 32nd in the NHL, averaging only 2.54 goals per contest.

Hart (suspension) was assigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday for a conditioning loan.

Hart isn't eligible to play for Vegas until December, but he can begin to get himself back into game shape in the minors. Adin Hill (lower body) moved to injured reserve ahead of Saturday's road matchup against St. Louis. Assuming they are both healthy, Hart and Hill will probably compete for starts with the Golden Knights. Vegas currently has Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom as the top two netminders on the roster.

Hill (lower body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, JR Pothier and Ken Boehlke of SinBin.vegas reports.

Hill has been out of action since Oct. 20 after he was injured early in a 4-1 win over Carolina. Hill could return at any time. He is 1-0-2 with a 2.73 GAA and an .888 save percentage across five appearances this season.

Hofer will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Hofer will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to Philadelphia. The 25-year-old Hofer is coming off a 26-save effort in last Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle. He has a 2-3-1 record this season while allowing 26 goals on 192 shots in eight appearances. Vegas ranks 14th in the league with 3.19 goals per game this campaign.

Wolf will guard the home crease versus Winnipeg on Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf is coming off a 16-save shutout against San Jose on Thursday. He is 5-10-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 16 starts this season. The Jets are scoring 3.24 goals per game, 11th in the NHL.

Oettinger will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Saturday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Oettinger will look for his third straight win. He is 7-3-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. The Flyers could be a tired team after they defeated St. Louis 6-5 in a shootout Friday.

Swayman will serve as the starting goaltender on the road in Montreal on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Swayman is working on a four-game winning streak, allowing only 10 goals on 128 shots. He is 7-4-0 with a 3.08 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 11 starts this season. Montreal is coming off its worst loss of the season Thursday, as they dropped a 7-0 decision to Dallas.
