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.

Bussi is expected to guard the road crease against LA on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Bussi will make his second career start after saving 16 of 17 shots en route to a 5-1 win over San Jose on Tuesday. Although more is expected of the Kings than the Sharks this season, LA has gotten off to a rough start. The Kings are 1-3-1 and rank 27th in goals per game with 2.60 this year.

Wolf is slated to start on the road against Vegas on Saturday, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf has struggled to start the 2025-26 campaign, posting a record of 1-3-0 while allowing at least three goals in each of those four outings. That's in stark contrast to his 29-16-8 record, 2.64 GAA and .910 save percentage across 53 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. However, it's still very early into the campaign, so it'd be premature to pass judgment on Wolf. The Golden Knights rank fourth in goals per game with 4.00 and own a mark of 3-0-2 this year, which will make it challenging for Wolf to begin his comeback Saturday.

Hellebuyck is expected to start at home against Nashville on Saturday.

Hellebuyck has a 2-1-0 record, 3.02 GAA and .895 save percentage in three appearances this year. His GAA and save percentage look unappealing because of a season-opening 5-4 loss to Dallas on Oct. 9 in which he allowed five goals on 37 shots. Hellebuyck has held the competition to two goals in each of his past two starts. Nashville is 2-1-2 and is in a four-way tie for 20th in goals per game with 2.80 this year.

Allen will patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Saturday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Allen is coming off a 21-save performance in a 3-1 win over Florida on Thursday. He went 2-0-0 against Edmonton during the 2024-25 regular season, stopping 62 of 64 shots. Allen should get a chance to string together some starts as New Jersey's No. 1 netminder due to the absence of Jacob Markstrom (lower body).
