Nedeljkovic will get the start in Saturday's road game versus the Stars, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Nedeljkovic will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Yaroslav Askarov was between the pipes for Friday's loss in Minnesota. Nedeljkovic had gone three games since his last start, and he allowed nine goals on 68 shots over his previous two outings, both losses. The 30-year-old will face a Stars team that has scored 19 times over the last six games.

Daccord is expected to start at home against the Rangers on Saturday, per Sound of Hockey.

Daccord stopped 25 of 26 shots en route to a 2-1 overtime victory over Calgary in his last start Wednesday. He's 4-3-0 with a 3.53 GAA and an .889 save percentage in eight appearances in 2026-27. The Rangers are 9-7-1 while averaging 3.00 goals per game this campaign.

Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Tomkins has a 1-1-0 record, 3.10 GAA and .878 save percentage in two appearances with Edmonton in 2026-27. He was with the Oilers because Devon Levi (undisclosed) was on the shelf, but Levi has been taken off injured reserve and is set to start in Saturday's home game against Vancouver. Tomkins might return to Edmonton later in the campaign if Levi or Tristan Jarry are unavailable for a stretch of time.

Kokko was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday to serve as a non-rostered third goalie.

Kokko will travel with the Kraken for the 2026 NHL Global Series in Finland. Seattle will play against Carolina on Nov. 12 and Nov. 14 in Helsinki. Kokko will be activated from the non-roster list if Joey Daccord or Philipp Grubauer can't play.

Korpisalo will defend the road crease in Saturday's road clash against the Kraken, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Korpisalo was activated off injured reserve on Friday , where he spent over a month due to a foot infection. The 32-year-old netminder will not only be making his season debut Saturday, but also his Rangers debut after he was traded to New York from Boston on July 1. He put together mixed results with the Bruins in 2025-26, as he compiled a 14-9-6 record, a 3.15 GAA, a shutout and an .894 save percentage across 31 outings. He'll be a wildcard in fantasy for the time being until we see how the Rangers elect to divide the opportunities between him and Dylan Garand.

Kuemper is slated to patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Kuemper is coming off a 30-save performance in Wednesday's 7-2 win over San Jose. He has stopped 141 of 155 shots during his five-game winning streak. Pittsburgh (5-9-2) ranks 16th in the league this season with 3.13 goals per game.

Reimer was placed on unconditional waivers by the Rangers on Saturday for the purposes of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Reimer already cleared regular waivers Friday. The 38-year-old goaltender made just one appearance with the Rangers in 2026-27, allowing three goals on eight shots in 20:00 of ice time en route to a 6-3 loss to the Kings on Oct. 26. Reimer was signed by New York on Oct. 25 because Igor Shesterkin (knee) and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) were both unavailable. Shesterkin is done for the season, but Korpisalo has returned to form a goaltending tandem with Dylan Garand. Reimer no longer has a spot with the team now that Korpisalo is healthy, and it seems the Rangers feel comfortable enough about their situation to shed Reimer's NHL contract.

Murashov is expected to start on the road against Los Angeles on Saturday, per Josh Getzoff of SportsNet Pittsburgh.

Murashov has gone 0-4-1 while posting a 3.83 GAA and an .871 save percentage across five outings this season. He has surrendered at least four goals in each of his past three appearances. The Kings are 5-7-2 while averaging a middling 3.07 goals per game this season, but Los Angeles is coming off a 7-2 victory over San Jose on Wednesday.

Kochetkov is slated to start at home against Chicago on Saturday.

Kochetkov is 10-1-0 with a 1.64 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. He suffered his first loss of the season in his last start Tuesday, turning aside 16 of 19 shots versus Nashville. Chicago is 4-12-1 and ranks 31st in goals per game with 2.18 this season, so this is about as favorable a matchup as Kochetkov could hope for.

Allen will start Saturday's road game against the Islanders.

Allen is coming off a 39-save effort in a 5-2 loss to Colorado on Oct. 28. He has allowed 25 goals on 220 shots during his 5-3-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign. The Islanders (7-6-2) sit 24th in the league this season with 2.80 goals per game.
