Reimer led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups. Reimer was pulled after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Hurricanes 8-6 loss in Toronto on Monday afternoon. It was Reimer's first tough outing since early-November, but the Hurricanes will give him a chance to bounce back right after the Christmas break. He is 8-3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .927 SV% on the road this year.Source: Michael Smith
Jarry will start Friday in Nashville. Jarry stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Penguins win in Edmonton last Friday. Jarry continues to play extremely well, winning four in a row and six of his last seven with a 1.41 GAA, .952 SV% and three shutouts. Tonight he takes on a Predators team on a five-game point streak (4-0-1) while scoring 4.80 goals per game. Source: Seth Rorabaugh
Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.Saros allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in last night's loss to the Penguins. He'll get the chance to start the game in Pittsburgh tonight but comes in with his own share of struggles. Saros is 2-2-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .894 SV% in his last six starts and is obviously a risky option against a Penguins team that is 8-2-0 in their last 10.

On the season, Francouz is 5-1-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .922 SV% on home-ice and is a solid option with the Wild in town--they've lost three of their last four road games. Source: Ryan Clark
