Vejmelka will defend the road crease against Nashville on Saturday.

Vejmelka has stopped 168 of the 182 shots he has faced during his seven-game winning streak. He has earned a 24-11-2 record this season with a 2.59 GAA, an .899 save percentage and one shutout through 38 outings. Nashville ranks 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.86 goals per game.

Kolesar scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Kolesar has three goals, an assist, eight shots and 21 hits over his last five games. The power winger is up to four goals, 12 points, 46 shots, 167 hits, 42 PIM and 26 blocked shots through 50 outings. He may have some depth appeal in fantasy while on the Golden Knights' third line, but he's unlikely to be a consistent scorer the rest of the way.

Crouse (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Nashville.

Crouse has been hot of late with a pair of goals and two assists in his last two games. He has 13 goals, 26 points and 136 hits in 50 appearances this season. He could return as early as Monday in Tampa Bay.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Dorofeyev's scoring surge continued, giving him six goals and two assists over his last seven games. The 25-year-old appears to be benefiting from opposing defenses needing to find ways to contain Mark Stone and Jack Eichel on the top line. Dorofeyev offers a strong scoring threat himself with 22 goals, 38 points, 137 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 50 appearances.

Saros will protect the home net against Utah on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros is coming off a 23-save effort in Thursday's 5-3 win over Ottawa. He has a 20-16-3 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 39 appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. Utah sits 16th in the league this season with 3.16 goals per game.

Greene scored a goal in Friday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Greene has scored three goals on eight shots over his last seven games. He won't be able to keep up that pace, but the 22-year-old has at least provided decent secondary scoring. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net, 30 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 51 appearances.

Ingram will be between the home pipes versus Washington on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Ingram is 3-1-1 in his last five games, allowing seven goals on 131 shots (.947 save percentage). He could be in line to start sharing the net with Tristan Jarry, who has struggled of late. The Capitals are tied for 17th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.17 goals per game.

Bogosian (lower body) isn't ready to return to the lineup yet, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic on Saturday.

Bogosian remains on injured reserve and will miss his ninth straight game. He has provided one goal, three assists, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 20 hits across 23 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return, but he appears to be getting close.

Gustavsson will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Saturday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson has allowed 10 goals on 87 shots during his three-game winning streak. The netminder has a 17-9-5 record with three shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 32 appearances in 2025-26. Florida sits 20th in the NHL this season with 2.96 goals per game.

Boldy (lower body) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's matchup against Florida, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Following a four-game absence, Boldy should occupy a top-six role and see time on the first power-play unit against the Panthers on Saturday. He has accounted for 27 goals, 51 points, 157 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and 32 hits across 48 appearances this season.
