Ullmark is 1-4-1 with 22 goals allowed on 215 shots (.898 save percentage) over his last six outings. He'll get a fairly favorable matchup Wednesday, though the Blackhawks have been better than usual lately with 16 goals over their last three games.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: In goal against Rangers
Lindgren will be between the pipes on the road versus the Rangers.
Lindgren will make his first appearance in the crease for the Capitals since signing his three-year contract extension Monday. At this point, the 31-year-old netminder will likely face an uphill battle to reach the 20-win threshold, having secured just 13 victories in his 27 appearances.

Binnington is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.
Binnington has an 18-20-4 record, 2.81 GAA and .899 save percentage in 43 appearances in 2024-25. He allowed three goals on 12 shots in relief of Joel Hofer in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Dallas. He was charged with the loss in that game, ending a four-game winning streak in which he stopped 94 of 103 shots (.913 save percentage). The Kings rank 23rd in goals per game with 2.81.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Set to start Wednesday
Woll is expected to start in Wednesday's road clash against Vegas, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Woll has won four of his past five starts, but he allowed three or more goals in three of those victories. The American netminder is 21-11-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 32 appearances in 2024-25.

Adin Hill G | LV
Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Expected to face Toronto
Hill is set to start at home against Toronto on Wednesday, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic
Hill will look to extend his three-game winning streak -- he's stopped 72 of 74 shots (.973 save percentage) in that span. The 28-year-old is 22-10-4 with a 2.52 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 36 appearances this season. Toronto ranks 10th in the NHL with 3.21 goals per game this season.

Kevin Lankinen G | VAN
Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Anaheim
Lankinen is expected to start at home against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Lankinen is coming off a disappointing 6-3 loss to Seattle on Saturday in which he surrendered five goals on 23 shots. He had a good stretch before that, though, stopping 77 of 82 shots (.939 save percentage) over three outings from Feb. 6 to Feb. 26. This will be his second start of the campaign against the Ducks after he saved 21 of 22 shots en route to a 5-1 victory over them Nov. 5.

Darcy Kuemper G | LA
Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Leaves ice first
Kuemper was the first goalie off Wednesday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus the Blues.
Kuemper has struggled in his last two outings, giving up a combined 10 goals on 49 shots (.796 save percentage) to the Stars and Blackhawks. Considering the Kings play the Blues in each of their next two games, the veteran netminder will need to recover quickly and find his game.

Stuart Skinner G | PIT
Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Expected starter for Thursday
Skinner is slated to start at home against Montreal on Thursday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton on Wednesday.
Skinner is still searching for his first win since Feb. 4. He's 0-3-0 with a 4.55 GAA and an .863 save percentage over his past five outings. Montreal will enter Thursday's clash riding a five-game winning streak, so the Canadiens won't be the easiest of adversaries for Skinner.

Georgi Romanov G | STL
Sharks' Georgi Romanov: Promoted from minors
Romanov was elevated from AHL San Diego on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Romanov hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2023-24 when he played in two games for the Sharks. The team doesn't have any immediate back-to-backs, so Romanov may not get into a game for San Jose right away. Instead, he figures to serve as the No. 2 behind Alexandar Georgiev -- at least until Yaroslav Askarov is cleared to return from a lower-body injury.

Alex Lyon G | BUF
Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Lyon stopped 28 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Lyon protected the Red Wings' crease for the first time since Feb. 23, when he allowed four goals in a 5-4 win over the Ducks, but he was tagged with the loss in this low-scoring affair. Lyon has looked decent in recent weeks, going 2-1-0 with a 3.19 GAA and an .886 save percentage over his four appearances since the beginning of February.
