Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Continues to rack up early success
Knight allowed two goals on 31 shots Tuesday in a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.
It appears as though the Blackhawks have found some stability in the net. Knight is 3-2-1 in six starts with a 1.97 GAA and .937 save percentage. Perhaps more impressively, he is leading the NHL in goals saved above expectation (GSAx) with 9.8. Jakub Dobes is second with 7.8 and Connor Hellebuyck has a 7.7 score in that category. The season will be long for Knight and the Blackhawks, but the young netminder is showing off his skill early in the year, and that skill is going to help.

Predators' Jack Ivankovic: Backstops big win for Wolverines
Ivankovic posted a 32-save shutout in the University of Michigan's 4-0 win over Western Michigan University on Thursday.
In a showdown between two of the top teams in college hockey, Ivankovic got the job done for the Wolverines. He has started all seven of their games this season and is undefeated with two shutouts, a 1.00 GAA and a .954 save percentage. The 2025 second-round pick is off to a dream start in his collegiate career and should continue to play well behind a strong team.

Andrei Vasilevskiy G | TB
Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Still winless this season
Vasilevskiy made 22 saves in a 3-2 loss to Chicago on Thursday.
The loss was heartbreaking -- Vasilevskiy moved out of position to make a save on Frank Nazar, and the rebound when straight to Ryan Donato, who buried the winner into an open net with just 54 seconds left in the third period. Vasilevskiy is 0-3-2 with a 3.41 GAA and .885 save percentage to start the season. Fantasy managers could consider benching him until his cold spell comes to an end.

Darcy Kuemper G | LA
Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Protecting road goal in Dallas
Kuemper will guard the road net against the Stars on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Kuemper was in goal for a 2-1 overtime win over the Blues on Tuesday in his return from a lower-body injury. The Stars' offense has slowed down lately, with just five goals scored during a three-game losing streak. Kuemper will look to stay sharp, especially if the Kings' defense can limit the Stars' chances.

Frederik Andersen G | EDM
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Expected to start Thursday
Andersen is slated to start on the road against Colorado on Thursday, per Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports.
Andersen and Brandon Bussi had been in a rotation recently, but it seems that will end with Andersen set to make his second straight start. The 36-year-old Andersen has a 3-1-0 record, 2.46 GAA and .894 save percentage in four appearances this year. Colorado presents a tough matchup -- the Avalanche are tied for fifth in goals per game with 3.43.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Guarding road crease
Daccord is expected to start on the road against Winnipeg on Thursday.
Daccord has a 3-1-1 record, 3.09 GAA and .890 save percentage in five appearances this year. He's struggled lately, allowing 13 goals on 73 shots (.822 save percentage) over his past three outings. Winnipeg is 5-1-0 and ranks fourth in goals per game with 3.83.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Receiving start against Canucks
Saros will guard the home goal versus the Canucks on Thursday.
Saros started the season fairly well, but he's allowed nine goals on 57 shots over his last two outings. The Canucks have won three of their last four games, collecting 12 goals in that span. That could make this a bit of a tough test for Saros as he tries to get back on track.

Joseph Woll G | PHI
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Moved to long-term injured reserve
Woll (personal) was moved from injured reserve to LTIR on Thursday, according to PuckPedia.
Woll is away from the Leafs indefinitely due to a personal matter. His move to LTIR makes him ineligible to return until Nov. 1 in Philadelphia, but given that there's been no news recently about his status, and Woll would probably need time to get back up to speed before rejoining the lineup, the 27-year-old probably won't be activated when he's first eligible. Anthony Stolarz is being leaned on heavily in Woll's absence, and Cayden Primeau is serving as Toronto's No. 2 goaltender.

Cam Talbot G | CLB
Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Guarding goal versus Islanders
Talbot will protect the road goal versus the Islanders on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Talbot hasn't played in the last three games, watching from the bench as John Gibson went on a 2-1-0 run. The 38-year-old Talbot will get a chance to stay undefeated while playing in the second half of the Red Wings' back-to-back set. The Islanders have scored 13 goals during their active three-game winning streak.
