Binnington will patrol the road crease in Pittsburgh on Thursday, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

Binnington has been terrific of late, going 7-1-1 with a 2.39 GAA and a .907 save percentage since Feb. 2, pushing the Blues to within two points of the second Wild Card in the Western Conference. The Penguins are averaging 2.82 goals this season, 21st in the NHL.

Shesterkin will guard the visiting cage in Minnesota on Thursday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Shesterkin is 0-1-2 in his last three games, giving up nine goals on 87 shots (.897 save percentage). For the 2024-25 campaign, the 29-year-old netminder is 21-22-4 with four shutouts, a 2.87 GAA and a .905 save percentage, the worst numbers in his six-year NHL career. The Wild are generating only 2.74 goals per game, 24th in the NHL in 2024-25.

Bobrovsky will guard the crease on the road versus Toronto on Thursday.

Bobrovsky was riding a four-game winning streak before falling to the Bruins on Tuesday. Still, the veteran backstop is 4-1-0 in his last five outings with a .941 save percentage and two shutouts. The Russian may not be taking home the Vezina Trophy this season -- that honor appears to be firmly headed to Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck -- but Bobrovsky should still receive a nomination as he likely cruises to another 30-win campaign.

Gustavsson will patrol the crease for Thursday's home clash with the Rangers, Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Gustavsson has appeared in five of the Wild's last six outings, a span in which he posted a 3-2-0 record and 1.98 GAA. With no back-to-backs on Minnesota's short-term schedule, the 26-year-old netminder should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward -- though veteran Marc-Andre Fleury could get the occasional spot start along the way.

Blomqvist is reportedly dealing with a minor undisclosed injury, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports on Thursday.

The Penguins seem content to run out Tristan Jarry the rest of the way after bringing him up in a swap for Blomqvist on March 3. Between that and the 23-year-old Blomqvist's injury concern, fans and fantasy managers may not see the young netminder in an NHL crease again this year.

Swayman will tend the twine on the road versus Ottawa on Thursday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Swayman is riding a two-game winning streak during which he has posted a .962 save percentage (51 of 53 saves), including a shutout over the Lightning. The netminder's improved form follows a six-game losing streak in which he went 0-4-2 with a 3.32 GAA. At this point, the Bruins seem content to give the bulk of the workload to Swayman, leaving Joonas Korpisalo to watch from the bench more often than not.

Hill is expected to defend the visiting crease in Columbus on Thursday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Hill saw his four-game winning streak come to an abrupt halt Sunday, allowing six goals on 35 shots in a 6-5 loss to the Kings. Hill is 23-11-4 with a 2.60 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. The Blue Jackets are generating 3.33 goals per game, sixth in the NHL in 2024-25.

Ullmark will be between the pipes at home versus Boston on Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Ullmark will be back in the crease after getting the night off versus the Flyers on Tuesday. Considering the 31-year-old Swede has appeared in nine of the Senators' last 11 contests, going 4-4-1 in that stretch, fantasy managers should probably be expecting Ullmark to continue seeing a heavy workload down the stretch ahead of Anton Forsberg.

Allen was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to guard the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Allen was stellar in his last start, stopping 23 of 24 shots in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday. Allen is 10-13-1 with four shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 24 starts. Edmonton is ninth in NHL scoring, scoring 3.23 goals per game this season.

Jarry will be between the home pipes versus St. Louis on Thursday, according to Penguins' reporter Dan Potash.

Jarry has won both his starts since returning from his stint in the AHL on March 3. He has allowed only three goals on 67 shots (.955 save percentage) in wins over Minnesota and Vegas. Jarry is 10-8-4 with a 3.15 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. The Blues are generating 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25, 22nd in the NHL.
