Thompson has been excellent through two games against the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round, allowing only three combined goals on 61 shots (.951 SV%). That said, the Capitals are tied 1-1 with the Hurricanes and will be desperate for a victory on the road in Game 3 to regain home-ice advantage. The Capitals enter Saturday's contest as +207 road underdogs.

Andersen allowed two goals on 20 shots (.900 SV%) in Carolina's Game 2 loss to the Washington Capitals, evening the series at 1-1. The 35-year-old netminder has a stellar 1.55 GAA and .930 SV% in six games this postseason (4-2). The Hurricanes enter Game 3 as sizeable -238 home favourites against the Capitals.

The Golden Knights, down 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers in their second-round matchup, are desperate for a win in Game 3 on Saturday and will roll with Hill between the pipes. Hill has been unspectacular in the 2024-25 postseason, posting a pedestrian 3.16 GAA and .874 SV% in eight games (4-4). He allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers. The Golden Knights enter Game 3 as slight +104 road underdogs against the Oilers.

Pickard is 6-0 in the 2024-25 playoffs, but he will not play in Game 3 on Saturday. He is sidelined day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. The 33-year-old Pickard was shaken up late in the third period of Edmonton's Game 2 victory after Tomas Hertl of the Vegas Golden Knights awkwardly collided with him. It's unclear if that sequence is the culprit for Pickard's injury or if it's unrelated.

Skinner has not played since losing the first two games of Round 1 against the Los Angeles Kings when he allowed 11 goals on 58 combined shots (.810 SV%). The Oilers have won six straight since Calvin Pickard took over between the pipes, but they will revert to Skinner for Game 3 on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 26-year-old Skinner appeared in 51 games during the regular season (26-18-4), posting a 2.81 GAA and .896 SV%. The Oilers enter Game 3 as -114 home favourites against a Golden Knights team desperate for a victory.

Stolarz has been sidelined since suffering a concussion in Game 1 and is making progress. Given that he has not skated yet, he will likely remain sidelined for at least one more game. Joseph Woll has been between the pipes in the interim.

Hellebuyck was tagged with the loss in Game 1 on Wednesday, allowing three goals on 24 shots. The 31-year-old netminder has posted a SV% above .900 in just one of his eight starts this post-season. If the Jets are going to get passed the mighty Stars, Hellebuyck will no doubt need to regain his regular season form that saw him post a 47-12-3 record along with a .925 SV%. The Jets enter action on Friday at -135 on the money line.

Bobrovsky has uncharacteristically struggled through the opening two games of the second round as he and the Panthers find themselves in an 0-2 hole. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner allowed four goals in Game 2, stopping just 16 of the 20 shots he faced. The sportsbooks inevitably like Bob's odds of bouncing back on Friday, as the Panthers enter action at -225 on the money line.

Anthony Stolarz remains sidelined with a concussion, so the Maple Leafs will stick with Woll between the pipes for Game 3. Woll turned in a solid performance in his first start of the post-season, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced enroute to a 4-3 victory. The 26-year-old netminder has a strong yet limited track record in the playoffs, posting a 5-2-0 record and a .919 SV% across nine career appearances. He'll need to be at his best on Friday as the Maple Leafs enter action at +185 on the money line.
