Oettinger will start Thursday in Philadelphia. Oettinger will look for his third straight win when he tends the twine on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. After a porous first start in his return from a multi-week absence due to a lower-body injury, allowing four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators, Oettinger has rebounded nicely, saving 51 of 53 shots faced (.962 SV%) over his last two games (2-0-0). The Stars are -129 road favourites against a Flyers club riding a four-game winning streak. Source: Mike Heika
Ersson will start Thursday vs. Dallas. The Flyers, riding a four-game winning streak, will return to Ersson between the pipes after giving him the night off in their last outing. Ersson is coming off a marvellous performance in his last start, a 35-save shutout in a 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets last week. After a rocky start to the season, Ersson has been a driving force in helping the Flyers stay in playoff contention, posting a gaudy .941 SV% in his last eight games (5-2-1). The Flyers are +126 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars club that has outscored their opposition 8-2 over their last two games (2-0-0). Source: Charlie O'Connor
Primeau will start Thursday in Ottawa. After defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-2 yesterday, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau between the pipes on the back end of a back-to-back. Primeau has played only one game this month, a stellar performance in a 3-2 losing effort to the Philadelphia Flyers when he allowed two goals on 39 shots (.949 SV%). The Canadiens are +159 road underdogs against a rested Ottawa Senators team that has lost six of their last seven (1-6-0). Source: Renaud Lavoie
Georgiev will start Thursday in Boston. Georgiev has appeared in 14 straight games for the Avalanche and will start on Thursday against the Boston Bruins.

Georgiev is amid one of his best stretches this season, allowing two or fewer goals in three of his last four games (3-0-1), posting a stellar .940 SV%.Source: Fluto Shinzawa
Korpisalo will start Thursday vs. Montreal. Korpisalo recorded a win in his last contest, snapping a five-game losing streak, and will start on Thursday, hoping to record consecutive wins for the first time since mid-November. The 29-year-old goaltender has struggled lately, a byproduct of a poor Senators team, winning only twice in his last 12 appearances (2-9-0), posting an abysmal .862 SV%. That said, the Senators are sizeable -180 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that played last night, defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-2.Source: TSN 1200
Soderblom will start in Buffalo on Thursday. Petr Mrazek's run of five consecutive starts will be over after all as Soderblom will be in the crease for Chicago on Thursday. Soderblom was originally projected to play the tail-end of a back-to-back on Wednesday, but the postponement of that game to Thursday opened up the door for the red-hot Mrazek to stay between the pipes. Nevertheless it will be Soderblom in goal, who hasn't played since January 5th. Soderlbom owns an abysmal 2-13-1 record on the season to go along with his .875 SV%. Things won't get any easier for him on Thursday with the Blackhawks being +225 underdogs in Buffalo. Source: Heather Engel
Luukkonen will start Thursday vs. Chicago. In a game originally scheduled for last night, Luukkonen will star for the Sabres on Thursday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. Luukkonen has been tremendous lately, winning four of his last five starts, allowing two or fewer goals four times, including a stellar 28-save shutout in his last outing, a 3-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. Luukkonen and the Sabres have a favourable matchup as -255 home favourites against the Blackhawks, who have scored two or fewer goals in each of their last four games (1-3-0). Source: Lance Lysowski
Binnington will start Thursday in Washington. Binnington will return to the crease on Thursday as the Blues attempt to snap a two-game losing streak. Binnington has been stellar lately, allowing two or fewer goals in five of his last five games (3-1-1), posting a sensational .936 SV%.

Thompson will start Thursday vs. the New York Rangers.

The 26-year-old Thompson has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last four games (3-1-0), posting a tremendous .943 SV%. The Golden Knights are +115 home underdogs on Thursday against the Metropolitan division-leading New York Rangers. Source: Jesse Granger
Gustavsson will start Thursday vs. Tampa Bay. Gustavsson was horrid in his return to the lineup from a multi-week absence, allowing five goals on 18 shots (.722 SV%) in a 6-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes last week. Minnesota will hope that Gustavsson was just shaking off some rust and can get back to his form from before his injury, when he won eight of 11 (8-3-0), allowing three or fewer goals in all but one game while posting a stellar .927 SV%. Minnesota is a +123 road underdog on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Source: Sarah McLellan
Vasilevskiy will start against the Wild on Thursday. Vasilevskiy will start for the seventh straight game and look to extend his winning streak to four games on Thursday night. After a disastrous performance on January 6th, allowing six goals on 26 shots (.769 SV%) in a 7-3 loss to the Boston Bruins, Vasilevskiy has responded admirably, winning three straight and posting a respectable .917 SV%. Tampa Bay is a -134 home favourite against the Minnesota Wild, who defeated the New York Islanders 5-0 in their last contest.Source: Chris Krenn
Daccord will start in Edmonton on Thursday. Daccord will be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Thursday after Chris Driedger got the nod in the tail-end of a back-to-back on Tuesday. Daccord was unlucky to see his personal eight-game winning streak snapped his last time out, allowing just two goals on 32 shots as the Kraken fell to the Penguins by a score of 3-0. Daccord's incredible run of form has seen his SV% on the season climb to .923 while his GAA is down to just 2.28. He'll need to be at his very best again on Thursday as the Kraken travel to Edmonton to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Source: NHL.com
Skinner will start Thursday vs. Seattle. Skinner will start for the third straight game on Thursday as the Oilers attempt for a harrowing 12th straight victory. In his last seven games (7-0-0), Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in each contest, posting a tremendous .954 SV%.

Vladar will start Thursday vs. Toronto. After a stellar performance in Vladar's last outing, the Flames feel confident not rushing Jacob Markstrom back into the lineup from a minor injury. Vladar saved 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 3-2 victory on Tuesday and will start again on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flames have won four straight but are +120 home underdogs against the Maple Leafs, riding a four-game losing streak (0-3-1). Source: Pat Steinberg
Shesterkin will start Thursday in Vegas. Shesterkin will start for the third straight game on Thursday when the Rangers visit the Vegas Golden Knights.

Demko will start Thursday vs. Columbus. Demko will attempt for his fifth straight win on Thursday when the Canucks host the Arizona Coyotes. Demko was terrific in his last outing, saving all 26 shots he faced in a 1-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres for his fourth shutout of the season. The Pacific division-leading Canucks are - 198 home favourites against a Coyotes club that has points in three of their last four (2-1-1).Source: Jeff Paterson
Saros will start in Los Angeles on Thursday. Saros will make his 35th start of the season on Thursday as the Predators travel to Los Angeles to take on the Kings. Saros took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots as the Predators fell to the Golden Knights by a score of 4-1. It was another dip in performance in what's been uncharacteristically up-and-down season for Nashville's number-one netminder. Saros owns a 17-16-1 record on the season to go along with a .900 SV% and a 3.02 GAA. He and the Preds are slight underdogs in Los Angeles on Thursday at +125. Source: Zach Dooley

Rittich has been limited to only five appearances this season (3-0-1) but has played well when called upon, posting a stellar 1.61 GAA and .932 SV%. Despite their struggles, the Kings are -139 home favourites against the Nashville Predators, who are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.Source: Dennis Bernstein
