NHL Player News

Vasilevskiy will guard the road cage in Boston on Saturday, per Russ Macias of The Hockey News.

Vasilevskiy is having another outstanding season, posting a 37-15-4 record with a 2.32 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 56 starts in 2025-26. The Bruins are 12th in NHL scoring, generating 3.29 goals per game.

Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Columbus on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Dobes has won his last seven starts, allowing 12 goals on 230 shots (.948 save percentage). He is 29-8-4 with a 2.69 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 41 games this season. The Blue Jackets are 17th in league scoring with 238 goals in 2025-26.

Swayman will protect the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Swayman has rebounded nicely in 2025-26 from a tough campaign the prior year. Swayman is 30-17-4 with a 2.77 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 53 appearances this season. The Lightning are fourth in NHL scoring, finding the back of the net on 278 occasions.

Stolarz (lower body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Stolarz sustained the injury in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Washington. He will conclude the campaign with a 10-10-3 record, a 3.28 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 26 appearances. Joseph Woll will probably see the bulk of the playing time in Toronto's final three outings, but Artur Akhtyamov could get another start before the end of the season.

Ullmark will guard the road crease versus the Islanders on Saturday, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

Ullmark has won his last three starts, turning aside 75 of 81 shots in victories over Carolina, Tampa Bay and Florida. The 32-year-old netminder is 27-12-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 48 contests in 2025-26. The Islanders have found the back of the net 227 times this season, 24th in the NHL.

Woll will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Woll has played in seven of the last 11 games for the Maple Leafs, going 1-4-2 with a 4.31 GAA and an .881 save percentage. Overall, he is 15-15-7 with a 3.31 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 38 games this season. The Panthers are 22nd in NHL scoring with 229 goals.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home crease against Philadelphia on Saturday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Hellebuyck has stopped 57 of 62 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 23-21-11 record this campaign with a 2.74 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 55 appearances. Philadelphia is tied for 23rd in the league with 2.87 goals per game this season.

Thompson is expected to defend the road blue paint in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Thompson shut out the Maple Leafs in his last start Wednesday, stopping 22 shots. He is 29-21-6 with a 2.47 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 56 starts in 2025-26. The Capitals are generating 3.16 goals per game, 15th in the league this season.

Daccord missed Friday's practice and is being evaluated due to an undisclosed injury, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Benton added that Daccord was sore after stopping 32 of 35 shots en route to a 4-3 shootout win over Vegas on Thursday. The 29-year-old Daccord has a 20-20-6 record, 3.03 GAA and .896 save percentage in 47 appearances this season. Seattle might find itself without Daccord, Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Matt Murray (personal) for Saturday's home game against Calgary. In that scenario, Niklas Kokko would probably get the start, and the Kraken would need to recall another goaltender to serve as the understudy.

Kochetkov (hip) was assigned to AHL Chicago on Friday for a conditioning stint.

Kochetkov has been sidelined since Dec. 20 due to a hip injury that required surgery, but the Hurricanes have been optimistic that the netminder would be an option for the playoffs. The 26-year-old will have an opportunity to work with the AHL club late in the NHL regular season, which signals that he's progressing in his recovery and could be cleared to rejoin the Hurricanes at some point during postseason play.
